Krinis, S.L.L. (author), Chadwell, Alix (author), Kenney, Laurence (author), Smit, G. (author)Introduction<br/><br/>The Delft Self-Grasping Hand (SGH) is an adjustable passive hand prosthesis that relies on wrist flexion to adjust the aperture of its grasp. The mechanism requires engagement of the contralateral hand meaning that hand is not available for other tasks. A commercialised version of this prosthesis, known as the mHand Adapt,...journal article 2024

Smit, Rinus (author)A radioisotope used in radionuclide therapy is Holmium-166 (Ho-166). The treatment effectiveness of Ho-166 could be improved by the use of a so called in vivo Dysprosium-166(Dy-166)/Ho-166 generator. The application of this generator is hindered by an effect called internal conversion (IC). This affect can arise after the decay of Dy-166 to Ho...master thesis 2023

Smit, Jean-Paul (author)Deep-learning (DL) models could greatly advance the automation of fact-checking, yet have not widely been adopted by the public because of their hard-to-explain nature. Although various techniques have been proposed to use local explanations for the behaviour of DL models, little attention has been paid to global explanations. <br/>In response,...bachelor thesis 2023

Smit, Henk (author)Event-Triggered Control (ETC) is a control method where the controller is only updated when necessary. The control inputs are kept fixed until a state-dependent event triggers their re-computation. The triggering condition is designed to guarantee the stability and desired performance of the control system. This prevents the excessive use of...master thesis 2023
