Vortex-model-based Multi-objective Optimization of Winglets for Wind Turbines using Machine Learning

Different Design Driving Load constraints (DDLs), are explored in this work to determine under which constraints and conditions a winglet can have an added value to the wind turbine blade design. Multi-objective Bayesian optimization is used to maximize the rotor's power production while minimizing the flapwise DDLs. Surrogate models, created...

Single-cell transcriptomics links loss of human pancreatic β-cell identity to er stress

The maintenance of pancreatic islet architecture is crucial for proper β-cell function. We previously reported that disruption of human islet integrity could result in altered β-cell identity. Here we combine β-cell lineage tracing and single-cell transcriptomics to investigate the mechanisms underlying this process in primary human islet...

Automated detection of cribriform growth patterns in prostate histology images

Cribriform growth patterns in prostate carcinoma are associated with poor prognosis. We aimed to introduce a deep learning method to detect such patterns automatically. To do so, convolutional neural network was trained to detect cribriform growth patterns on 128 prostate needle biopsies. Ensemble learning taking into account other tumor...

Overstromingsrisico Maasdal Limburg

Het project Veiligheid Nederland in Kaart (VNK2) heeft voor 58 dijkringgebieden het overstromingsrisico, uitgedrukt in economische schade en aantallen slachtoffers, geanalyseerd. Na deze afzonderlijke dijkringringgebieden worden in dit rapport de resultaten gepresenteerd van de uitgevoerde risicoanalyse voor het gehele Maasdal in de provincie...

Development of a solar thermal thruster system

At the Delft University of Technology the use of solar radiation to heat a propellant to a high temperature is investigated as an alternative to resistance heating. The latter only allows for a solar power to heat conversion efficiency of about 25%, depending on the solar cells, whereas for solar heating 80% seems feasible. This paper addresses...

Knowledge-based quality diagnosis

Molecular typing of cryptococcus neofonnans: Taxonomic and epidemiological aspects

Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis, serotype, and killer toxin sensitivity patterns of a wide range of saprobic, clinical, and veterinary isolates of both varieties of Cryptococcus neoformans were examined. C. neoformans var. neoformans and C. neoformans var. gattii differed in chromosomal...
