Vermeulen, Mark (author)Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an important imaging modality, since it can create high-resolution cross-sectional images of the human body. In MRI scanners, the nuclear spin magnetization is excited using radio-frequency pulses. Images are created based on the time-evolution of this magnetization, which is characterized by relaxation times ...master thesis 2024

Vermeulen, Desiree (author)The wastewater system in the Netherlands is ageing, which increases the probability of failure of the systems as time progresses. A vital failure mechanism is leakages, which occur in leaky connections, joints, or at cracks and holes along the pipe. Eventually, leakages result in infiltration of groundwater into the sewer pipe or exfiltration of...master thesis 2022

Vermeulen, Joop (author)In this thesis, we will be studying Lie groups and their connection to certain orthogonal polynomials. We will look into the classical Krawtchouk, Meixner and Laguerre polynomials, and the multivariate Krawtchouk and Meixner polynomials as defined by Iliev. Using representations of the Lie groups SU(2) and SU(1,1), it will be shown that the...master thesis 2022

Vermeulen, Stefan (author)The two urban challenges of the mobility shift and industrial redevelopment come together at the site of the Merwe-Vierhavens (M4H) in Rotterdam. The mobility shift consists of the transition from polluting vehicles towards sustainable alternatives, like electric vehicles, and the use of public transport and slow mobility. The industrial shift...master thesis 2021

Vermeulen, Jeroen (author)Purpose – The entropy algorithm is a recently developed statistic for quantifying the complexity of time series data. To date, research of biomechanics and motor control discussed whether entropy algorithms could be used as a convenient tool to identify healthy gait function, to evaluate outcomes of physical therapies and to monitor the...master thesis 2021

Vermeulen, Maurice (author)The IMO has proposed Just-In-Time arrivals and services as one of the short-term solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in maritime shipping. The Just-In-Time concept allows vessels to optimize their speed during the voyage. If a vessel earlier knows at which time it is requested to arrive at the pilot boarding place, the vessel can adapt...master thesis 2020

Vermeulen, Martijn (author)The amount of data being collected is growing exponentially, both in academics as well as in business. Unfortunately, the quality of that data can be poor, leading to poor decisions and increasing costs. Data cleaning, the process of detecting and correcting errors from a dataset, could be the solution to improve bad data.<br/>This research...master thesis 2020

Vermeulen, Annewiet (author)Over the last decade new methods are explored in the field of tissue engineering to minimize the donor organ shortage. Engineering organs with a complex structure and large vascular network, such as the liver, remain a challenge. Luckily, the decellularization of an organ creates a scaffold that consists of the extracellular matrix (ECM) with...master thesis 2019

Vermeulen, Sander (author)The GRACE mission has provided unprecedented insights into mass redistribution processes in the Earth system. Following a strong call for continuation of the mass observations, the GRACE-Follow On (GRACE-FO) mission was launched in May 2018, leaving a coverage gap of ca. 1 year between GRACE and GRACE-FO. Geopotential solutions derived from data...master thesis 2019
