de Bie, Melissa (author)Introduction<br/>Patient-ventilator asynchrony (PVA) poses a significant challenge in the management of mechanically ventilated patients, contributing to adverse clinical outcomes. Current methods of detecting PVA rely on visual assessment by clinicians, leading to subjectivity and inconsistency. Therefore, there is a need for automated...master thesis 2024

Ławniczak, Aron (author)Coastal areas face increasing threat from erosion. The use of coastal protection structures is imperative to counter this. Concrete “armouring” is widely used due to durability and cost-effectiveness. Conventional methods of “armouring” result in habitat degradation and loss of biodiversity. ECOncrete developed Coastalock, an armour unit...master thesis 2024

Jungbacker, Caspar (author)Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is a mathematical technique for performing simulations of turbulent flows, such as those found in the Earth’s atmosphere. Compared to traditional numerical weather and climate models, LES is more accurate in representing turbulent processes and cloud dynamics. The computational burden of LES, however, have histor-...master thesis 2024

van Winden, Brian (author)Introduction<br/>Approximately 9 in 1000 children are born with congenital heart disease (CHD), of whom a quarter are classified as critical CHD (CCHD) and require an intervention within their first year. Monitoring these patients in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is crucial, yet with increasing amounts of data, detecting subtle...master thesis 2024

Francovich, Juliette (author)Many patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) depend on mechanical ventilation due to conditions such as severe lung disease, traumatic brain injury, or postoperative coma. While mechanical ventilation is a potentially life-saving intervention, it also has harmful side effects. Especially in patients with lung disease, such as the acute...master thesis 2024

Oerlemans, Carlijn (author)Study objectives: Conventional sleep scoring is based on the scoring criteria of the American Association of Sleep Medicine (AASM) but may not be suited to describe sleep in critically ill children admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). In this study, an anomaly detection model using Gaussian Models trained on sleep stages in data...master thesis 2024

Lagemann, Luca (author)Mechanical metamaterials are architected materials with unique properties derived from their internal structure, rather than the material they consist of. Introducing distinct stable states into the material architecture allows the creation of mechanical metamaterials with multiple effective properties that can be altered post-fabrication. So...master thesis 2023

Wigchert, Lisanne (author)Annually, around 180,000 cardiac ablation procedures are performed as a result of people experiencing cardiac arrhythmia’s. During this ablation procedure, an ablation catheter is used to scar the problematic cardiac tissue after which the arrhythmia will stop. The ablation catheter is discarded after one single use. Incineration of these...master thesis 2023

Marinos, Marios (author)Emotion recognition is a challenging problem in the field of computer vision. The automatic classification of emotions using facial expressions is a promising approach to understand human behavior in various applications such as marketing, health, and education. How- ever, recognizing some emotions, such as anger, jealousy, contempt, and disgust...master thesis 2023

van Dam, Nathalie (author)Propulsion power is an important metric in wheelchair racing. For a flat surface, it can be estimated from the sum of friction power and kinetic power. Usually, to determine friction power, the rolling and air drag coefficient first need to be determined with coast-down tests or other time-consuming methods. The aim of this paper was to...master thesis 2023

Liu, Qingxin (author)Most injuries in football occur in the lower extremities due to high muscle stress. To prevent such injuries, the Dutch Football Association (KNVB) and the Delft University of Technology developed the Smart Sensor Shorts, an inertial sensor-based tracking system measuring the athlete’s lower body kinematics, to improve physical load estimates...master thesis 2023

Blankenzee, Regino (author)The planning of railway operations is a very complex process, in which timetables and other logistical plans need to be both reliable and robust to effectively prevent and cope with disturbances. However, research in the robustness of initial stabling plans, designed in an earlier planning phase, during the following planning phases, has been...master thesis 2023

Verboom, Marit (author)Critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are often comatose and thoroughly monitored. Neurological complications occur in up to 20% of these patients. Therefore, monitoring of the brain, which can be performed using electroencephalography (EEG), has the potential to significantly impact the outcomes of patients at the ICU....master thesis 2023

Gribnau, Mees (author)A shunting yard is used to store trains between arrival and departure. A conflict arises in a shunting yard when one train obstructs another from leaving. Resolving a conflict is done by re-allocating the trains obstructing the departing train to other tracks in the shunting yard. However, these re-allocations complicate the problem at hand and...bachelor thesis 2023

Tian, Tim (author)This paper explored the usage of the Planning Domain Definition Language in the Train Unit Shunting Problem or TUSP, an NP-hard problem that occurs in train storage. This paper focuses on the evaluation and improvement of existing planners to solve TUSP with multiple shunting yard layouts, as well as an appropriate domain with it. Starting with...bachelor thesis 2023

Chiu, Simba (author)It is possible to improve the performance of planners by modifying the PDDL domain of a problem. The goal of this research is to implement this to the domain of the Train Unit Shunting Problem (TUSP). The research question we attempt to answer is: To what extent can we improve planner performance by optimizing the PDDL domain of TUSP? The main...bachelor thesis 2023

Ullmer, Patrick (author)Building energy regulations worldwide are increasingly advocating for better-insulated facades since improved insulation in facades can significantly reduce a building’s heating energy demand. However, research indicates that super-insulated buildings are already at risk of overheating due to high internal heat storage and low heat loss. In...master thesis 2023
