Explaining Grover's algorithm with a colony of ants: a pedagogical model for making quantum technology comprehensible

The rapid growth of quantum technologies requires an increasing number of physicists, computer scientists, and engineers who can work on these technologies. For educating these professionals, quantum mechanics should stop being perceived as incomprehensible. In this paper we contribute to this change by presenting a pedagogical model for...

Multi-objective Learning Using HV Maximization

Real-world problems are often multi-objective, with decision-makers unable to specify a priori which trade-off between the conflicting objectives is preferable. Intuitively, building machine learning solutions in such cases would entail providing multiple predictions that span and uniformly cover the Pareto front of all optimal trade-off...

Esophageal Tumor Segmentation in CT Images using a Dilated Dense Attention Unet (DDAUnet)

Manual or automatic delineation of the esophageal tumor in CT images is known to be very challenging. This is due to the low contrast between the tumor and adjacent tissues, the anatomical variation of the esophagus, as well as the occasional presence of foreign bodies (e.g. feeding tubes). Physicians therefore usually exploit additional...

Eindrapportage Pilot Markermeer Moeras: Beantwoording onderzoeksvragen en monitoringsresultaten morfodynamica, geotechniek en ecologie

Beantwoording onderzoeksvragen en monitoringsresultaten morphodynamica, geotechniek en ecologie. Aannemersbedrijf Fa. Gebr. van der Lee heeft in opdracht van Rijkswaterstaat in het Markermeer nabij de Houtribdijk tussen Trintelhaven en Lelystad een “pilot moeras” aangelegd. Deze pilot moeras is onderdeel van het innovatieve onderzoeksprogramma...

Underground Reservoir Identification Using Generalized Wellbore Data

We present a novel method for estimating physical properties of an underground hydrocarbon reservoir, on the basis of generally measured wellbore ow rate and pressure signals at the bottom of a producing well. The method uses instrumental variable-based system identification techniques to solve for a closed-loop errors-in-variables problem....

System Identification in Dynamic Networks

Systems in engineering such as power systems, telecommunication systems, and distributed control systems are becoming more complex and interconnected. Many of these systems are part of the foundation of modern society and their seamless operation is paramount. However, the increasing complexity and size of the systems poses real engineering...

A variance reduction technique for identification in dynamic networks

With advancing technology, systems are becoming increasingly interconnected and form more complex networks. Additionally, more measurements are available from systems due to cheaper sensors. Hence there is a need for identification methods specifically designed for networks. For dynamic networks with known interconnection structures, several...

On the hindered settling of suspensions of mud and mud-sand mixtures

Highly concentrated suspensions are present in many natural environments. When the concentration becomes large enough, particles start to interfere with each other and their settling velocity reduces. This is called hindered settling. As a result of the reduced settling velocity, particles remain in the water column for a longer time and the...

Ecologische en bestuurlijk-juridische argumenten voor een integraal kustzonebeleid in Nederland: Een amfibische benadering

Verkenning naar ecologische en bestuurlijk-juridische inzichten welke gehanteerd kunnen worden op weg naar een meer geïntegreerd kustbeheer, waarbijk zowel de landgedeelten als de ondiepe wateren in samenhang worden beschouwd ten dienste van een duurzame bestemming, inrichting en beheer.

The intrusion of fine suspended sediment into a sandy sediment bed, a literature review

In 2001 a DIOC-project was started at Delft University of Technology on the behaviour of mud in the water column. In this project the behaviour, spreading and settling velocity of fines is studied. After an introductional literature review on the behaviour of fines released due to dredging, the focus was placed on the behaviour of the fines on...

The behaviour of fines released due to dredging: A literature review

In 2001a DIOC-projectwas started at Delft University of Technologyon the dispersion of fines during sand mining. In this project the behaviour and spreading of fines, which are released through the overflow of a dredging ship, is studied. Laboratory and field studies will be carried out to determine the behaviour and spreading of the fines....

1999 Waddenzee quality status rapport

Het rapport start met de nationale en internationale regelgeving in het Waddenzeegebied. De hoofdelementen van de nieuwe zijn genoemd, maar buiten beschouwing gelaten. Vervolgens worden de menselijke activiteiten in het gebied en de klimaatverandering in de discussie opgenomen. Het klimaat werkt hierin door in verschillende stormen en...
