(author), Smit, Steef (author), Yin, Yi (author)The cuprate high-temperature superconductors exhibit many unexplained electronic phases, but the superconductivity at high doping is often believed to be governed by conventional mean-field Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer theory<sup>1</sup>. However, it was shown that the superfluid density vanishes when the transition temperature goes to zero<sup...journal article 2023

Smit, Henk (author)Event-Triggered Control (ETC) is a control method where the controller is only updated when necessary. The control inputs are kept fixed until a state-dependent event triggers their re-computation. The triggering condition is designed to guarantee the stability and desired performance of the control system. This prevents the excessive use of...master thesis 2023

Smit, Jean-Paul (author)Deep-learning (DL) models could greatly advance the automation of fact-checking, yet have not widely been adopted by the public because of their hard-to-explain nature. Although various techniques have been proposed to use local explanations for the behaviour of DL models, little attention has been paid to global explanations. <br/>In response,...bachelor thesis 2023

Smit, Jacob (author)Suriname is highly vulnerable to hazards that are climate change related, such as droughts and floods. Knowledge about future precipitation in Suriname is needed for the population of Suriname in order to adapt to climate change effects. By analysing 32 CMIP6 models, this study investigates the impact of climate change on precipitation in...master thesis 2023

Smit, Rinus (author)A radioisotope used in radionuclide therapy is Holmium-166 (Ho-166). The treatment effectiveness of Ho-166 could be improved by the use of a so called in vivo Dysprosium-166(Dy-166)/Ho-166 generator. The application of this generator is hindered by an effect called internal conversion (IC). This affect can arise after the decay of Dy-166 to Ho...master thesis 2023
