de Groot, Eline (author)This thesis investigates how the real Western built environment influenced cinematic architecture in the science-fiction films Metropolis (1927) and Blade Runner (1982), revealing the real architectural elements that were either copied or adapted into imaginary worlds throughout the 20th century. In doing so, both films are analysed on three...student report 2024

de Groot, Patrick (author)Current service and installation activities for offshore wind turbines are carried out by jack-up vessels, which eliminate wave disturbances to a large extent. The use of these vessels imposes several disadvantages, including high operational costs and the limitation of operating in restricted water depths. An alternative is a crane mounted on a...master thesis 2024

(author)Aims Machine-learning (ML) prediction models in orthopaedic trauma hold great promise in assisting clinicians in various tasks, such as personalized risk stratification. However, an overview of current applications and critical appraisal to peer-reviewed guidelines is lacking. The objectives of this study are to 1) provide an overview of...review 2024

(author)(1) Background: Structural remodeling plays an important role in the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation (AF). It is likely that structural remodeling occurs transmurally, giving rise to electrical endo-epicardial asynchrony (EEA). Recent studies have suggested that areas of EEA may be suitable targets for ablation therapy of AF. We...journal article 2024

de Groot, Hugo (author)The salinity profile in a coastal sea-river system is the result of balancing of salt transport due to mixing of the water by tides and the freshwater discharge from the river. When for example during times of drought freshwater discharge suddenly declines, the salinity in the river may increase significantly and threaten drinking water supplies...bachelor thesis 2023

de Groot, Sabine (author)Myopia is an eye disease that begins to develop at a young age, approximately between the ages of six and nine years. Children these ages spend a large amount of time inside school buildings. Two case studies have been studied to see what can be improved in school building design to get more light inside. Light measurements have been done to see...master thesis 2023

de Groot, Dimme (author)The work presented in this thesis investigates the creation of virtual sound sources in a room equipped with a limited number of loudspeakers. This limited number of loudspeakers is typical for consumer loudspeaker systems. Ideally, these systems can provide a listening experience in which localisation cues are completely present. However, in...master thesis 2023

de Groot, Tim (author)Preventive measures for a healthy population are becoming a trending topic in the Netherlands because of rising costs of care and an increasing population of elderly. Due to this, prevention methods in the built environment can help with minimising this problem. Urban area developments are ways for improving or developing new built environments....master thesis 2023

de Groot, Laura (author)As more smart city technologies are being developed, more attention should be directed on how to include citizens to align such technology with public values and facilitate contestability. This involvement can take place during different phases. To ensure the legitimacy of a machine vision system, citizens should be involved to discuss when a...master thesis 2023

de Groot, Marijke (author)It was thought that because of the rise of the digital age, public libraries would eventually go extinct. However, research shows that nothing could be further from the truth. Visitor numbers are rising each year and new libraries are opened. There has been a change in the typology of public libraries that ensures the important role the library...student report 2023

de Groot, O.M. (author), Valk, Laurens (author), Keviczky, T. (author)In this work, we propose two cooperative passivity-based control methods for networks of mechanical systems. By cooperatively synchronizing the end-effector coordinates of the individual agents, we achieve cooperation between systems of different types. The underlying passivity property of our control approaches ensures that cooperation is...journal article 2023

(author)Aims: Areas of conduction inhomogeneity (CI) during sinus rhythm may facilitate the initiation and perpetuation of atrial fibrillation (AF). Currently, no tool is available to quantify the severity of CI. Our aim is to develop and validate a novel tool using unipolar electrograms (EGMs) only to quantify the severity of CI in the atria....journal article 2023

Schram Serban, Corina (author), de Groot, N.M.S. (author)(1) Background. Obesity is a well-established worldwide recognised risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). Prior review papers reported on the associations between obesity and AF development, but not on the relation between obesity and atrial electrophysiology. We therefore conducted a systematic review to describe the current knowledge of...review 2023

de Groot, O.M. (author), Ferranti, L. (author), Gavrila, D. (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author)Navigating mobile robots through environments shared with humans is challenging. From the perspective of the robot, humans are dynamic obstacles that must be avoided. These obstacles make the collision-free space nonconvex, which leads to two distinct passing behaviors per obstacle (passing left or right). For local planners, such as receding...conference paper 2023
