Improving the Generalisability of Deep Learning NILM Algorithms using One-Shot Transfer Learning: Can one-shot transfer learning be leveraged to enhance the performance of a CNN-based NILM algorithm on unseen data?

Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) is a technique used to disaggregate household power consumption data into individual appliance components without the need for dedicated meters for each appliance. This paper focuses on improving the generalizability of NILM algorithms to unseen households using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and one...

Ēngines of Ēternity: An Artistic Inquiry into Space Settlement Ideology Using Rotifer Experiments on Board the ISS

Ēngines of Ēternity is a transdisciplinary project that takes the biological phenomena of cloning and DNA repair as metaphorical departure points for an art installation about humanity’s enthrallment with cultural immortality. Cultural immortality has long fascinated humankind, with such diverse examples as Ancient Egypt, the Roman Empire, Hindu...

Frequency stability of graphene nonlinear resonators

In pursuit of extremely sensitive sensors, the dimensions of these sensors get smaller and smaller. Small scale resonators are commonly used as sensors by relating changes in the dynamic behaviour to a sensed quantity. Conventionally, the dynamics used for sensing are in the linear regime. But at smaller scales the dynamic range of the linear...

Effects of drought on the traffic capacity of the river Waal and the occurrence of congestion

This research focuses on the impact of extreme low river discharges, meaning discharges below 1200 m2/s at Lobith. In 2018 extreme low river discharges in the river Rhine led to congestions in the main Dutch part, called the river Waal. The river Waal is an important river for inland navigation, but during low discharges the...

Socio-hydrology in the floodplain: Investigating patterns of human response to riverine floods by quantifying the human footprint in flood prone areas using nighttime light data

Flooding is globally one of the most damaging natural hazard. Flood risk will most likely increase in the near future due to increases in flood frequency attributed to climate change and growth in population and wealth in flood prone areas. This growth in wealth and population is increasingly considered as a major driver for the increase in...

The Future of Water Research: Supporting the implementation of citizen science data collection by investigating the current water quality and quantity situation in the main water sources of the Kathmandu Valley

Kathmandu is a prime example of a city exhibiting both rapid metropolitan region expansion and a population boom. This growth leads to a water stress and pollution of the surface and groundwater. The lack of proper waste management and sanitation results in the ongoing deterioration of the water quality in the Kathmandu Valley. The situation is...

An origin-destination based train station choice model for new public transport connections to train stations

A change in the access and egress system, like a new metro line, will automatically influence the station choices of train travellers. Given the fact that several new large public transport connections will be opened in the near future, there is the need to precisely forecast how the distribution of train travellers among stations will change,...
