Contemporary project-based organisations recognise the importance of leveraging past project knowledge for competitive advantage. By leveraging the lessons learned from previous and ongoing projects, organisations can benefit from managing learning within and across projects effectively. Despite these benefits, challenges persist in effectively...

The post-war architectural and urban design paradigm’s characteristic trait of spatial and functional determination limits the possibility for spatial adaptation and flexibility in urban spaces, struggling to face ever-steadily occurring social, economic, and climate challenges. In Droixhe - the largest post-war social housing ensemble in Liège,...

To verify the aircraft position provided by Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B)<br/>transponders, multilateration (MLAT) technique incorporates time difference of arrival (TDOA) measurements at multiple ground-based receivers to estimate the corresponding distances between those and the aircraft. This approach requires precise...

In this thesis, we aim to improve the application of deep reinforcement learning in portfo- lio optimization. Reinforcement learning has in recent years been applied to a wide range of problems, from games to control systems in the physical world and also to finance. While reinforcement learning has shown success in simulated environments (e.g....

Aerodynamic stall has been a critical factor in recent aircraft crashes, leading to revisions in the regulations on the fidelity of stall models in flight simulation training devices. However, the updated regulations still lack a clearly defined accuracy required for effective pilot training. To determine the required accuracy, this research...

The transport sector in the Netherlands is under pressure to reduce emissions, constituting about 12% of the country's total emissions, to align with the goals of the Paris Agreements. One promising solution is the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell heavy-duty trucks, particularly for long-haul transport, providing emission-free operation when...

Brachytherapy (BT) is an essential component in the curative treatment of cervical cancer. With commercial BT implant devices, called applicators, the radioactive sources can only be positioned in fixed intracavitary channels or in a fixed array of interstitial needles. Patient-tailored BT applicators containing individualised needle channels...

As an alternative to kerosene (Jet-A1), green hydrogen is considered a potential solution to reduce the environmental impact of the medium-range aviation industry. While the technical feasibility of liquid hydrogen (LH2)-powered aircraft is already being researched and demonstrated, the required infrastructure, as well as its impact on the...

The origin of the Martian dichotomy is subject to question and no substantial evidence exists. Some surface and interior features that are not visible in, e.g., topography data, can show up in gravity data. Therefore, this research inverts gravity data to find a crustal and mantle global density model. Previous research performed a one-layer...

The tissue electrical properties of conductivity and permittivity affect the interactions of electromagnetic fields in the body. These properties vary throughout the different tissues as the tissue structure and composition varies. In this thesis, medical imaging and diagnosis is used as primary example to motivate exploration of a novel...

The electricity grid in the Netherlands is highly congested and poses a significant challenge due to increasing demand and the transition to sustainable energy sources, which overwhelms the existing infrastructure. To address this issue, Distribution System Operators (DSOs) like Alliander are tasked with managing waiting lists for power...

The increasing dependence on technology has made society vulnerable to cyber threats, with ransomware becoming a major concern. The complex nature of the Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) model makes identifying the attackers challenging. Traditional methods often rely on direct indicators, but these may not be readily available or reliable. This...

While learning-based control techniques often outperform classical controller designs, safety requirements limit the acceptance of such methods in many applications. Recent developments address this issue through Certified Learning (CL), which combines a learning-based controller with formal methods to provide safety guarantees. This thesis...

Privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) have historically been used for safeguarding individual privacy from both public and private interference. But lately, tech companies have started using PETs as one instrument for the expansion of their power over different actors, as appears to be unfolding in the case of Amazon’s Sidewalk service: a United...

Responding rapidly to epidemic outbreaks presents significant challenges, due to resource, capacity and time limitations. Anticipatory Action (AA) is a newly emerging strategy in the field of humanitarian aid, designed to preemptively address potential crises. By taking impact-reducing actions before a disaster strikes, AA seeks to minimize...

Transition zones in railway tracks are locations with an abrupt change in stiffness in the vertical rail supporting structure. These locations are typically located as approaches near engineering structures where there is a sudden change in track substructure. Due to these abrupt changes the dynamic forces of the wheel-rail interaction on the...

In today’s climate of the increasing use of fake news for which deepfakes may be used, and their widespread distribution through social media, the challenge of distinguishing reality from manipulation is growing. The development of deepfake detection technologies (DFDTs) is therefore crucial. The number of deepfake detection companies (DFDCs) is...
