Micro air vehicles (MAVs) have shown significant potential in modern society. The development in robotics and automation is changing the roles of MAVs from remotely controlled machines requiring human pilots to autonomous and intelligent robots. There is an increasing number of autonomous MAVs involved in outdoor operations. In contrast, the...

H2O2 is a relatively 'green' oxidant because its by-products are only H2O. In recent years, an increasing number of enzymatic synthesis methods based on H2O2 have been estab-lished. H2O2-driven reactions are usually applied as an alternative to NAD(P)H-dependent reactions to avoid complicated cofactor regeneration systems.<br/><br/>The aim of...

Quantum computing is a flourishing field of scientific and technological research. The development of quantum computing in the past decades is the so-called second quantum revolution, where various aspects of quantum physics, such as entanglement and superposition, are used to form the main building block of computation — the quantum bit, or...

Efficient and affordable solar energy is essential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving climate neutrality. Large-scale offshore floating photovoltaics (LOFPV) provide creative opportunities for clean and cost-effective renewable energy production close to populated areas. They are composed of solar modules, a membrane platform,...

In recent years, the rapid development of digital fabrication technology has substantially boosted the research of architected cellular materials. Among them, the auxetic materials are a distinct type for their unusual deformation behavior: negative Poisson’s ratio. When loaded longitudinally in compression, in contrast to conventional materials...

This thesis describes the design and implementation of integrated high-side current sensors for IoT applications. As explained in chapter 1, the main challenges are the need to achieve low power, low cost and low area while maintaining a reasonably low gain error. To meet them, the focus of this thesis is on (1) the design of precision HV...

Porous asphalt, due to its advantages of noise reduction and water drainage, is widely used in the surface layer of the highway in the Netherlands. However, the porous structure makes it prone to ravelling, therefore more frequent maintenance and reconstruction than other asphalt mixtures The porous asphalt service life can be extended with self...

As one of the main sensor in autonomous driving, radar has great advantages over other sensors, especially its capabilities during adverse weather condition and Doppler information extraction. Performance of the radar in terms of accuracy and target resolution strongly depends on radar waveforms transmitted and signal processing algorithms...

In the 21st century, polar land ice melting became one of the driving factors of global sea level rise, which is discussed widely by the media and the public. Although the fact of the shrinking ice caps and accompanying changes in the sea level is established, the actual amount of polar ice melting still needs to be quantified in separate...

Fresh water supply and flood protection are two central issues in water management. Society needs more and more fresh water and a safe water system to guarantee a better life. A more severe climate will result in more droughts and extreme storms. As a consequence, salt water intrusion will increase. Therefore, clean and fresh water is becoming...
