Malnutrition is worsening, affecting every country and over 3 billion people. There is evidence that rising CO<sub>2</sub> levels will not only indirectly increase malnutrition through climate change effects, but also directly through a downshift in the plant ionome, reducing nutritional quality and increasing hidden hunger. Attempts to...

In recent years, there has been growing interest in exploring the deployment of wave energy converters (WECs) in remote and harsh environments. However, research in this area remains limited, particularly concerning offshore environments with sea ice. This study focuses on investigating the energy production and economic feasibility of a point...

In a biomechanical engineering study, a pressure-activated, colour-changing, and flexible material has been developed, stemming from an initial problem application. However, a technical innovation can transcend its original intent, thereby gaining value for engineers or technical managers. The problem is that there is a lack of guidance in...

Offshore Floating Wind Energy (OFWE) presents a promising yet underdeveloped sector due to its higher costs and engineering complexities compared to fixed-bottom systems. Unlike fixed-bottom systems, OFWE isn't restricted by water depth, offering over four times more ocean area for deployment. This flexibility allows for positioning wind farms...

Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) have showcased remarkable effectiveness in capturing complex 3D scenes and synthesizing novel viewpoints. By inherently capturing the entire scene in a compact representation, they offer a promising avenue for applications such as simulators, where efficient storage of real-world data, fast rendering and dynamic...

Performance-driven generative design has been commonly used in engineering applications. In addition to performance metrics, aesthetics play an important role in the acceptance of generatively designed forms. When generating these shapes using generative programs, it is not clear in advance what the outcome will be, and thereby what they will...

Introduction: Individuals with burnout often experience cognitive challenges in general performance or the excessive effort to perform certain tasks. With the increasing work pace over the years, on average, over 10% of workers in Europe and over 17% in non-European countries had experienced burnout up until 2018 (Schaufeli, 2018). Personal...

Spiking neural networks implemented for sensing and control of robots have the potential to achieve lower latency and power consumption by processing information sparsely and asynchronously. They have been used on neuromorphic devices to estimate optical flow for micro air vehicles navigation, however robotic implementations have been limited to...

The transport sector needs to change to meet some of the global challenges we face: climate change, population growth and urbanisation. It needs to become more sustainable, which is why the Netherlands wants to introduce more high-quality bus systems. However, there are some barriers to implementing these systems.<br/><br/>In this thesis,...

For some, smart home living is a sign of the future, and provides an opportunity to solve major societal problems. For others, it is just a vague buzzword. This thesis project sought to explore the potential implications of living with smart and connected technologies in our most private spaces and to engage non-experts in a conversation about...

This study addresses the revenue losses from network congestion of an Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) resulting from the implementation of an Offshore Bidding Zone (OBZ) and explores potential measures to mitigate these effects. The quantitative analysis involves a model that simulates a hypothetical OWF located in the North Sea between Norway and the...

This work introduces a novel training strategy for Gaussian Process (GP) models aimed at improving their predictive accuracy and uncertainty quantification capabilities over extended prediction horizons. This improvement is highly relevant for applications in model predictive control (MPC) in the autonomous driving domain. Learning-based MPC...

Supercritical CO<sub>2</sub> (SCO<sub>2</sub>) is a promising alternative to traditional working fluids in heat pumps and power cycles due to its high density, thermal efficiency, and stability. These properties allow for the design of more compact and efficient equipment. However, accurately modeling supercritical heat transfer, especially near...

The introduction of Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) is set to change the operation on all levels of Air Traffic Control (ATC), including aerodrome control. Here, adherence to a planned four-dimensional trajectory is important to achieve a stable operation. At the same time, this concept provides possibilities for support tools to be used in...

Historically, Central Asia and agriculture have had a tempestuous relationship. The collapse of the USSR in 1999 put agriculture fully in crisis. Greenhouses, a flourishing sector in the latter days of the USSR, almost fully disappeared. In attempt to gain self-sufficiency in fruit and vegetable production, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan...
