Examining Fatigue and Discomfort: Assessing the Impact of Innovative Technologies on Car Seat

The objective of this project is to examine the effects of new technology in car seats on fatigue and discomfort. The first step involves defining the fatigue framework and selecting an appropriate assessment method. Since different studies suggest that the definition of fatigue can vary in different situations, a street interview was conducted...

Hybrid Beamforming Zero-Crossing-Based Noise-Shaping SAR ADC for Ultrasound Imaging

In ultrasound imaging systems, a charge-sharing successive-approximation-register (SAR) ADC has benefits over a charge-redistribution SAR because the charge-sharing SAR is organically compatible with the subarray beamformer which is deployed to reduce the large channel count. Besides, the noise-shaping (NS) SAR is a promising candidate for...

Decoding EEG signals

In the context of designing a real-time brain-computer interface for playing a game using the OpenBCI Ultracortex "Mark IV" headset, this paper focuses on the work of the decoding subgroup. The primary responsibility is to analyse EEG data retrieved from the OpenBCI headset and classify the intention of the user. Our objective is to achieve a...

Pre-education and meeting: Pedagogical and architectural drivers of the emergence of Basisschool typology through case study: Basisschool Airborne

In 1980, the Primary Education Act was revised. One of the most important decisions was to combine kindergarten and primary school into a new type of pre and primary education institution: basisschool. In the existing literature, there were few clues about the backgrounds, drivers, and consequences. Was the new type of educational institution...

Detecting Medical Equipment in the Catheterization Laboratory using Computer Vision

Workflow analysis aims to improve the efficiency and safety in operating rooms by analysing surgical processes and providing feedback or support, where observations can be made and evaluated by algorithms rather than human experts. For our study, we mount five calibrated cameras from different angles in a Catheterization Laboratory (Cath Lab) to...

Responsible Innovation of Chinese ports: Evaluation of Shenzhen Yantian Port Extension Project

Traditional Chinese ports are still under the influence of the "Economy centralized principle", economic interests are amplified while environmental and social impacts are seriously ignored. In this way, disharmony appeared and severely interrupted the execution of the projects. Therefore, an approach which could bridge the environmental and...

Addressing the Grid size Sensitivity Issue in Large eddy Simulations of Stable Boundary Layers

In current study, several fundamental and inherent problems in original Deardorff subgrid model are identified under stably stratified condition. It is found that the mixing length parameterization in this subgrid model is at the root of a long trouble problem of grid size sensitivity in large-eddy simulation (LES). A new formulation of mixing...

A realistic simulation of Leipzig Wind Profile

Over the years, the Leipzig Wind Profile observed under near neutral condition has been considered as an essential benchmark for idealized friction layer models. However, the general weather condition for the Leipzig Wind Profile still remains a mystery after nearly 90 years. In order to simulate this event and try to recreate the weather...

Explore the untapped digital data of neglected tropical disease, and provide insights for stakeholders to take strategic actions

People have been using the digital technology domain to seek solutions to combat neglected tropical diseases. Aside from feasibility and effectiveness, WHO has pointed out the importance of having an overview that pinpoints the lacking infrastructure for scaling up and sustaining digital proposals. This research demystifies the untapped digital...

Explorative study towards supporting dredger's control work by HoloLens

The worldwide company named Royal IHC proposed this graduation project. Royal IHC is a reliable supplier of dredge vessels. Trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) is one of the company’s main products for port maintenance. A dredge operator is doing all the dredge control task in the dredge operator cockpit. The human-machine interface (HMI) of...

Accelerated corrosion test simulation: Lattice model vs. continuum model

A series of accelerated corrosion tests were done by SGS INTRON (commenced by Combinatie Aanpak Maastunnel, constructor of the Maastunnel project) to investigate for a proper repair material for the deteriorated concrete floor in the Maastunnel at Rotterdam. Five types of fiber reinforced mixtures with different tensile behavior ranging from...

Forecasting Extreme Precipitation Using k-nearest Forest Neighbors

Precipitation has high spatial and temporal uncertainty, which makes it challenging to predict. We focus specifically on extreme amounts of precipitation. The Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute (KNMI) uses a numerical model, approximating the solutions to partial differential equations, to forecast precipitation and other metrics about the...

Amstel InnovUnion: A Podium for Creative Industry

As one of the most important and attractive city in Europe, Amsterdam has seen a great growth of its residents in the recent years. How to offer enough houses for the new arrivals will be a continuous question for the managers of the city. The densification process has already started. Wasted lands like abandoned houses and old industrial areas...

A machine learning approach for optimisation in railway planning

Planning and scheduling problem is a hard problem, especially in real life cases. The time and space complexity increase quickly along with the increase of problem size. In transportation systems, such problems exist a lot. The automation of transportation systems depends a lot on the improvements of developing planning and scheduling algorithm....

CSI-EPT: Towards practical implementation

The information of electrical properties of biological tissues within human body can be useful information for diagnosis, tissue characterization, hyperthermia treatment planning and MR safety control.<br/>CSI-EPT is an MR base imaging modality, which reconstructs the electrical properties of the sample. However, this method have not been...

TU Delft Archive Design

City is an archive. World is an archive. The project is a hybird result of Delft city context, TU Delft collections and precedent buildings. The new TU Delft archive relates itself to the references from different place and time in its plan, space organization, construction and material.
