Metz, I.C. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Mühlhausen, Thorsten (author), Kügler, Dirk (author), Kern, Stefan (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Involving air traffic controllers and pilots into the bird strike prevention process is considered an essential step to increase aviation and avian safety. Prior to implementing operational measures such as real-time warning systems, it is vital to evaluate their feasibility. This paper studies the efficacy of a bird strike advisory system for...journal article 2021

Varkevisser, Francesc (author)Development of a visual prosthesis has the potential to help millions of patients with visual impairment around the world. One approach of visual prostheses is intracortical stimulation, where electrodes penetrating the visual cortex are used to create small light dots in the patients visual field. Said therapy requires an implantable...master thesis 2020

de Gelder, E. (author), Paardekooper, Jan Pieter (author), Op den Camp, Olaf (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Objective: The amount of collected field data from naturalistic driving studies is quickly increasing. The data are used for, among others, developing automated driving technologies (such as crash avoidance systems), studying driver interaction with such technologies, and gaining insights into the variety of scenarios in real-world traffic....journal article 2019

Salma, V. (author), Friedl, F. (author), Schmehl, R. (author)Airborne wind energy systems use tethered flying devices to harvest wind energy beyond the height range accessible to tower-based wind turbines. Current commercial prototypes have reached power ratings of up to several hundred kilowatts, and companies are aiming at long-term operation in relevant environments. As consequence, system...journal article 2019

de Vries, Piet (author)The Dutch market has been seeing an growing interest in electric bicycles in recent years. While the trend was propelled by elderly wishing to use a bicycle longer, the e-bike market has shown the potential to loose its stigma and expand to people of other age-groups. The urban commuter as a target group demands for a faster and more attractive...master thesis 2018

Gupta, Sugandha (author)Women inequality is a common practice in today’s world which is global in nature. Focusing on a developing country like India, violence against women, needless to say, is a grave concern. Crime in the form of rapes, molestation, and eve-teasing, has made public spaces fearful, and women have developed the fear of being a part of these places....master thesis 2017

Saboerali, T. (author)The MRI scanner with an ultrahigh magnetic field of 7T not only increases the image resolution but it also increases the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of the patient. In other words, the body temperature of the patient increases due to the absorption of heat produced by the 7T MRI scanner. This is dangerous for the health of the patient. In...master thesis 2017
