Application and Development of Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging: High-Resolution QMRI in an Elderly Cohort and End-to-End Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping with Deep-Learning

We present application and developments of qMRI. We reconstructed data from the Prediva Ouderen Extentie (POE) database and calculated quantitative maps. The POE database consists of 29 7 Tesla (T) whole-brain MRI scans, including both male and female participants covering the age group between 80 and 91 years old. We used this data to extend...

Electric vehicle charger for future DC Grids: Design of a 10kW isolated bidirectional DC-DC converter with wide output voltage range

Over the last decade the share of electric vehicles has increased and will continue to increase in the future in order to reduce the carbon footprint by transportation. However, the battery voltage is not standardised and can differ per car model. To reduce the charging time, a high power converter is preferred. Moreover, in order to utilise the...

Feedforward control for wave disturbance rejection on floating offshore wind turbines

Classical feedback control for floating offshore wind turbines has limited capabilities to reduce wave disturbances. Feedforward control uses disturbance measurement, to construct an additional control law such that the disturbance is attenuated. The main objective of this work is to prove the concept of wave-FF control to attenuate wave...

Estimation of Internal Delays

In this thesis report, the design of the estimation of internal delays within speakers and microphones will be covered. The estimation is done via an iterational algorithm which converges to the different delays. The design choice of the estimation of those delays follows from an initial attempt to improve synchronization of the Bosch DICENTIS...

Creative Connection Rotterdam; A focal point for creative business in the center of Rotterdam

Rotterdam is known as a creative city, and successful projects as the van Nelle factory, the Maassilos and the Groothandelsgebouw are there to prove this. The city is rightfully proud of this reputation. But unfortunately, these centers for creative business are not so visible in the city itself. The Creative Connection uses the program of the...

Interior functionality and user interaction design of the Cito 1+1

The thesis is about the concept interior design of the Cito. The Cito is a car that is able to drive both manual and automatic. This unique functionality requires the interior to be an environment which offers people confidence to let go of control and use that same environment as an efficient personal and enjoyable tool which supports people...
