Krinis, Spyros (author)Introduction: Movement disorders, such as Cerebral Palsy, prevent children from fully developing their motor coordination abilities reducing their quality of life. Trunk control is a core coordination competency but there is limited variety in sitting based therapies. This paper investigates a theorised trunk support device for children which...master thesis 2024

Schermer, Annemeike (author)Innovation implementation is known to pose significant challenges, as evidenced by high failure rates that can range from 20% to 90%. This issue became particularly apparent during my internship, where I witnessed firsthand the complexities involved. Implementation involves activities that aim to equip organisational members with the necessary...master thesis 2024

Zou, L. (author)Communications networks such as opportunistic mobile networks, vehicle networks, and social contact networks can be represented as temporal networks, where two cars or individuals are connected at a discrete time step if they are close to each other or interact with each other at that time step. These networks facilitate the propagation of...doctoral thesis 2024

Kandiyoor, Gopal (author)A significant trend in aero engine design has been the rise in turbine inlet temperatures, as well as the drive to produce raise efficiency. Since the 1960s, turbine inlet temperatures have exceeded turbine material limits, with turbine cooling systems being used to bridge the gap. Modern engines require substantial amounts of cooling air,...master thesis 2024

Lippes, Stijn (author)With the ambition of policy makers to encourage a modal shift to rail, an increase in the demand for running trains can be expected. Capacity wise, this increase in demand could be facilitated by applying moving-block signalling. If railway traffic increases however, so does the difficulty of managing it. Rescheduling systems are currently being...master thesis 2024

Vos, Geert (author)This research has aimed to investigate the possibility of applying a neural network algorithm into the structural design process of bascule bridge leaves, by creating a workflow in Grasshopper. The demand for this tool, originates from the fact that the current design process is experienced as linear and slow, and does not fit the dynamic design...master thesis 2024

de Bruijn, May (author)Accurate placement of screws in spinal surgery is vital to mitigate risks like instability, nerve damage, or spinal cord injury, which can lead to various complications such as pain, sensory loss, muscle weakness, or paralysis below the injury site [33]. However, success rates in screw placement vary widely, ranging from 27.6% to 100% [56].<br/>...master thesis 2024

Battegazzore, Andrea (author)Race cars use aerodynamic downforce to reduce the lap times by increasing grip. Diffusers, upswept ramps located at the rear of a vehicle, are often used to enhance downforce. This investigation proposes a novel LPT facility featuring HFSB, LED illumination, and high-speed cameras to characterize the flow inside automotive diffusers. An RC car,...master thesis 2024

Valls Badia, Pere (author)Inspired by the leading-edge protuberances found on the flippers of humpback whales, tubercles have drawn significant interest for improving airfoil aerodynamic performance. In static conditions, airfoils with tubercles exhibit a softer onset of stall and increased lift in post-stall regime, though with a reduced maximum lift coefficient....master thesis 2024
