Mier Escurra, C. (author)The energy transition towards decarbonization and modernization of the electric network requires the development of new technologies. Offshore windfarms, essential to this transition, rely on Gas-Insulated Systems (GIS) due to their compactness and extended lifespan. Despite the reliability of GIS, the high maintenance costs and severe...doctoral thesis 2024

Janssen, D. (author)The dissertation explores the use of emergency measures, particularly the BresDefender, to prevent or delay levee failure and mitigate the impacts of floods, focusing on the Netherlands' flood protection systems. Levees are vital for protecting low-lying areas, but there's always a risk of failure, leading to significant societal and material...doctoral thesis 2024

Schelbergen, M. (author)The potential of utility-scale airborne wind energy (AWE) systems to contribute significantly to the energy transition hinges on their large-scale deployment, which depends on the cost-competitiveness and complementarity with conventional wind turbines. Central to the assessment of these metrics is understanding long-term energy production,...doctoral thesis 2024

Rinauro, B. (author), Begovic, E. (author), Mauro, F. (author), Rosano, G. (author)The seaway trade market has expanded in the last years and container ship dimensions are constantly increasing for higher cargo capacity. In the early design stage, main dimensions are usually determined based on an existing ship database from which regression formulas are derived. In the present paper, a database of 260 non-sister container...journal article 2024

van der Jagt, T.F.W. (author), Jongbloed, G. (author), Vittorietti, M. (author)Consider an opaque medium that contains 3D particles. All particles are convex bodies of the same shape, but they vary in size. The particles are randomly positioned and oriented within the medium and cannot be observed directly. Taking a planar section of the medium we obtain a sample of observed 2D section profile areas of the intersected...journal article 2024

Homborg, A.M. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author), Tinga, Tiedo (author)This paper for the first time treats the interpretation of electrochemical noise time-frequency spectra as an image classification problem. It investigates the application of a convolutional neural network (CNN) for deep learning image classification of electrochemical noise time-frequency transient information. Representative slices of these...journal article 2024

Li, G. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Traffic condition forecasting is fundamental for Intelligent Transportation Systems. Besides accuracy, many services require an estimate of uncertainty for each prediction. Uncertainty quantification must consider the inherent randomness in traffic dynamics, the so-called aleatoric uncertainty, and the additional distrust caused by data shortage...journal article 2024

Buist, J.F.H. (author), Sanderse, B. (author), Dubinkina, S. (author), Oosterlee, C. W. (author), Henkes, R.A.W.M. (author)In this paper we present a complete framework for the energy-stable simulation of stratified incompressible flow in channels, using the one-dimensional two-fluid model. Building on earlier energy-conserving work on the basic two-fluid model, our new framework includes diffusion, friction, and surface tension. We show that surface tension can...journal article 2024

Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), Curran, A.N. (author), Bouwer, L. M. (author)Floods are amongst the most frequent disasters in terms of human and economic impacts. This study provides new insights into the frequency of loss of life at the global scale, mortality fractions of the population exposed to floods, and underlying trends. A dataset is compiled based on the EM-DAT disaster database covering the period 1975...journal article 2024

Rejali, Sina (author), Watson-Brown, Natalie (author), Kaye, Sherrie Anne (author), Senserrick, Teresa (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Empirical data demonstrates that distracted driving is a leading cause of crashes even in countries with sophisticated road safety systems. As such, a paradigm shift is needed to prevent driver distraction. This study aims to contribute to this paradigm shift by critically investigating the official distraction-related information and road...journal article 2024

Oomen, T.A.E. (author), Rojas, Cristian R. (author)A direct data-driven iterative algorithm is developed to accurately estimate the H<sub>∞</sub> norm of a linear time-invariant system from continuous operation, i.e., without resetting the system. The main technical step involves a reversed-circulant matrix that can be evaluated in a model-free setting by performing experiments on the real...journal article 2024

Klein, R.B. (author), Sanderse, B. (author)A novel hyper-reduction method is proposed that conserves kinetic energy and momentum for reduced order models of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The main advantage of conservation of kinetic energy is that it endows the hyper-reduced order model (hROM) with a nonlinear stability property. The new method poses the discrete...journal article 2024

Eenkhoorn, C. (author), Goos, T.G. (author), Dankelman, J. (author), Franx, Arie (author), Eggink, Alex J. (author)Introduction: In clinical practice, fetal heart rate monitoring is performed intermittently using Doppler ultrasound, typically for 30 minutes. In case of a non-reassuring heart rate pattern, monitoring is usually prolonged. Noninvasive fetal electrocardiography may be more suitable for prolonged monitoring due to improved patient comfort and...journal article 2024
