Mancinelli, A. (author), van der Horst, E. (author), Remes, B.D.W. (author), Smeur, E.J.J. (author)This paper presents a modular autopilot framework for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that addresses the limitations of modern flight controllers. The framework utilizes separate and external subsystems for actuator control and the resolution of the Control Allocation problem. The actuator subsystem, implemented on a Teensy 4.0 microcontroller,...conference paper 2023

van der Horst, Koen (author), Diab, I. (author), Chandra Mouli, G.R. (author), Bauer, P. (author)The traction substations of urban electric transport grids are oversized and underutilized in terms of their capacity. While their over-sizing is an unfortunate waste, their under-utilization creates the major hurdle for the integration of renewables into these grids due to the lack of a base load. Therefore, integrating smart grid loads such...journal article 2023

van der Horst, Casper (author)For my Master’s thesis, I developed and trained an audio-based localization system for indoor localization called AudioLocNet. AudioLocNet is based on convolutional neural networks and maps recordings from a small(10cm diameter) microphone array to a grid of locations around said array. AudioLocNet was made to be used by swarms of small robots...master thesis 2022

van der Horst, Gerben (author)Urban mobility is challenged with increasing demand, while at the same time reducing emissions, without leading to an unpleasant living environment. Reducing the number of stops on the urban arterial controlled by the coordinated traffic controller can provide (part of) the solution to these challenges for urban mobility. Coordinated traffic...master thesis 2022

van der Horst, Koen (author)Battery electric vehicles have gained a substantial market share in the last few years. The call for good charging infrastructure is urgent with the rapid shift from carbon-based cars toward battery electric vehicles. However, the present electrical distribution networks are not designed for large additional loads. Many cities have traction...master thesis 2022

van der Horst, Noortje (author)A digital reconstruction of real-life trees could provide many benefits in fields such as botany, forestry management, biology, and urban planning. Plant growth modelling in particular would enable the analysis of plant structure and behaviour in a customizable, widely applicable and non-destructive manner. Although many data-driven plant...master thesis 2022

van der Meer, Jeroen (author), Hartmann, Andreas (author), van der Horst, A.Q.C. (author), Dewulf, Geert (author)Awareness of design risks is essential for preparing integrated design and construction tenders as decisions in this phase can have serious consequences once the project is awarded. The practice of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) promises to support contractors in dealing with risks in the decision-making process. However, due to...journal article 2022

(author), Elmer, Mireille (author), Sun, Su Ming (author), Sharma, Sushma (author), van Leeuwen, Jolanda (author), Chabes, Andrei (author), van Attikum, Haico (author)Eukaryotic cells have evolved a replication stress response that helps to overcome stalled/collapsed replication forks and ensure proper DNA replication. The replication checkpoint protein Mrc1 plays important roles in these processes, although its functional interactions are not fully understood. Here, we show that MRC1 negatively interacts...journal article 2022

For example, theta-frequency bursting and resonance in granule cells facilitate synaptic transmission and plasticity mechanisms at the input stage of the cerebellar cortex. However, whether theta-frequency bursting of Purkinje...journal article 2022

van der Horst, Didier (author)The major international airport, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, is redesigning its security checkpoints for 2024, for which a novel type of security checkpoint configuration is considered. In this redesign, one seeks to find the optimal checkpoint configuration; however, this remains non-trivial. The checkpoint configuration problem requires a...master thesis 2021

van der Horst, Tim (author)Software testing is an integral part of the development of embedded systems. Among other reasons, tests are frequently used to ensure that a system meets all the specifications, which is especially important when designing systems for the medical industry. Software changes that have a detrimental impact on a real-time system's performance can...master thesis 2021

van der Horst, Evie (author)Calcium is an important mineral which the body uses to maintain strong bones and carry out many important bodily functions. According to the Dutch nutrition center people in the Netherlands consume 80-90% of their calcium through milk and other milk products. Often times people will further ’process’ milk for other food products. Examples of...bachelor thesis 2021
