Xu, J. (author)Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have found extensive applications across diverse fields, such as image classification, speech recognition, and natural language processing. However, their susceptibility to various adversarial attacks, notably the backdoor attack, has repeatedly been demonstrated in recent years. <br/>The backdoor attack aims to...doctoral thesis 2025

Huber, Katharina T (author), van Iersel, L.J.J. (author), Moulton, Vincent (author), Scholz, Guillaume E. (author)In evolutionary biology, networks are becoming increasingly used to represent evolutionary histories for species that have undergone non-treelike or reticulate evolution. Such networks are essentially directed acyclic graphs with a leaf set that corresponds to a collection of species, and in which non-leaf vertices with indegree 1 correspond...journal article 2025

Ma, C. (author), Sánchez-García, Iván (author), Wang, R. (author), Galán, Hitos (author), Denkova, A.G. (author), Serra Crespo, Pablo (author)Chromium-51 (51Cr) is an attractive radionuclide for diagnosis, which is usually applied for red cells and platelet radiolabeling. However, commercially available 51Cr produced in nuclear reactors via neutron activation requires long irradiation times and complex separation methods. In this work, five metal–organic frameworks (MIL-100 (Cr), MIL...journal article 2025

Thimmapa, Pradeepthi (author)Contemporary project-based organisations recognise the importance of leveraging past project knowledge for competitive advantage. By leveraging the lessons learned from previous and ongoing projects, organisations can benefit from managing learning within and across projects effectively. Despite these benefits, challenges persist in effectively...master thesis 2024

Kirilov, Konstantin (author)The post-war architectural and urban design paradigm’s characteristic trait of spatial and functional determination limits the possibility for spatial adaptation and flexibility in urban spaces, struggling to face ever-steadily occurring social, economic, and climate challenges. In Droixhe - the largest post-war social housing ensemble in Liège,...master thesis 2024

Julseth, Matt (author)Coastal areas are highly dynamic systems sensitive to natural and anthropogenic change. The range of social, economic, and environmental functions served by diverse coastal environments makes understanding their geomorphology valuable. Parametric shape functions have historically been used to represent the cross shore profile of specific coastal...master thesis 2024

Polat, H.M. (author)Molecular simulations predict the thermodynamic and transport properties by computing the interactions between the molecules in a system. These simulations offer practical alternatives to address challenges arising from experimental limitations in measuring Vapor-Liquid Equilibria (VLE) of acid gases at very low partial pressures and the...doctoral thesis 2024

van Arem, Koen (author)The introduction of data-based modeling in football (soccer) in the last decade has led to the creation of models that describe player performance through key performance indicators (KPIs). However, relying solely on historical and current KPI values is insufficient for scouting departments, as predicting future values could significantly...master thesis 2024

Beselly, S.M. (author)The over-exploitation of mangrove forests since the 1980s has led to biodiversity loss and coastal erosion in several parts of the world. Still, about 80-90% of mangrove restoration projects have been reported to fail. The main reasons are related to a poor understanding of the eco-geomorphological dynamics and mangrove species-specific...doctoral thesis 2024

Bastiaanssen, C.K.J.M.L. (author)Interactions are essential to life. At the cellular level, the most fundamental processes rely on interactions between DNA, RNA, and proteins. Given that the structure and function of these molecules are determined by their sequence, it is ultimately the sequence that dictates the strength and specificity of these interactions. Thus, to improve...doctoral thesis 2024

Hu, D. (author)IN advancing the ’More thanMoore’ paradigm, heterogeneous integration has emerged to facilitate the creation of highly efficient, compact, and multi-functional semiconductor systems. Addressing the challenges related to power efficiency, superior performance, and integration density, low-temperature nanoparticle sintering technology has become...doctoral thesis 2024

Borgart, A. (author)Shell structures can be either calculated with complex mathematics and differential geometry, or with the help of finite element method (FEM) software. Neither method gives the designer sufficient insight about the behaviour of the shell in the early design stage. The first method is for most designers too complex, it requires proficiency in at...doctoral thesis 2024

Slokom, M. (author)In the field of machine learning (ML), the goal is to leverage algorithmic models to generate predictions, transforming raw input data into valuable insights. However, the ML pipeline, consisting of input data, models, and output data, is susceptible to various vulnerabilities and attacks. These attacks include re-identification, attribute...doctoral thesis 2024

de Hoog, E. (author)Hydraulic transport pipelines are used in dredging, (wet) mining and deep sea mining. These pump-pipeline systems are typically designed using steady-state principles. However, recent cases have shown that steady-state design does not always guarantee stable pipelines. Transients like self-amplifying density waves have shown to be able to...doctoral thesis 2024

Cherat, Naajein (author)Fault ride-through capability studies of MMCHVDC connected wind power plants have focused primarily on the DC link and onshore AC grid faults. Offshore AC faults, mainly asymmetrical faults have not gained much attention in the literature despite being included in the future development at national levels in the ENTSO-E HVDC code. The proposed...master thesis 2024

Brandt, C.E. (author)Developer testing has become an established practice in large software projects. The developers working on the functionality of a project also write short, automated scripts that check the behavior of their code. While the benefits of developer testing are widely accepted, writing tests is still seen as tedious and time-consuming. Researchers...doctoral thesis 2024

van Overbeeke, Sander (author)An earlier study introduced a formula for determining the holding force of a toroidal hydrostat gripper when gripping an object of constant radius, considering a linear stress/strain relationship. However, beyond the holding force, understanding the grasping disturbance force exerted on the object due to the rolling behavior during grip...master thesis 2024
