Martin, H.A. (author), Smits, Edsger C.P. (author), Poelma, René H. (author), van Driel, W.D. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)This article introduces an online condition monitoring strategy that utilizes a transient heat pulse to detect package thermal performance degradation. The metric employed is the temperature-dependent transient thermal impedance "Zth(t, Tamb)."The proposed methodology offers quantitative insights into package thermal performance degradation...journal article 2024

Veltman, M.M. (author), van Keulen, J. (author), Smits, A. E.H. (author), Voogt, J. M. (author)When addressing problems with wicked tendencies in higher professional education, students experience complexity, uncertainty, and value divergence. Furthermore, they are confronted with disciplinary, organisational, and sector boundaries. Prior research has revealed variability in students’ experiences and boundary-crossing behaviour when...journal article 2024

Smits, J. (author)Computers execute software to do the tasks we expect from them. This software is written by human beings, we call this programming. The most common way to program is by writing text in a programming language. A programming language is very structured so we can be precise, but ultimately these languages are still for humans to read and write. In...doctoral thesis 2023

Zhang, F. (author), Smits, Sebastian (author), Kiecana, A. (author), Batashev, I. (author), Shen, Q. (author), van Dijk, N.H. (author), Brück, E.H. (author)The influence of doping with the 5d transition metal W has been studied in the quaternary (Mn,Fe)<sub>2</sub>(P,Si) based giant magnetocaloric compounds, which is one of the most promising systems for magnetic refrigeration. It is found that W substitution can separately decrease the Curie temperature T<sub>C</sub> and retain the thermal...journal article 2023

Pokhrel, Pranisha (author), Zhou, Yangxiao (author), Smits, F.J.C. (author), Kamps, Pierre (author), Olsthoorn, T.N. (author)Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) is increasingly used to secure drinking water supply worldwide. The city of Amsterdam (The Netherlands) depends largely on the MAR in coastal dunes for water supply. A new MAR scheme is proposed for the production of 10 × 10<sup>6</sup> m<sup>3</sup>/year, as required in the next decade. The designed MAR system...journal article 2023

A delineation of the tumor is also desirable in the initial decision stages but is time-consuming. Previously, deep learning methods have been developed that can either non-invasively predict the genetic or histological features of glioma, or that can...journal article 2023

(author)Salt marshes can contribute to coastal protection, but the magnitude of the protection depends on the width of the marsh. The cross-shore width of the marsh is to a large extent determined by the delicate balance between seaward expansion and landward retreat.
