Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, for example by causing strokes. Timely diagnosis of such diseases is pivotal for a patient’s chance of survival. Furthermore, in the present world in which medical expenses are going through the roof, we can save greatly on costs if certain diseases are detected in an...

Responding rapidly to epidemic outbreaks presents significant challenges, due to resource, capacity and time limitations. Anticipatory Action (AA) is a newly emerging strategy in the field of humanitarian aid, designed to preemptively address potential crises. By taking impact-reducing actions before a disaster strikes, AA seeks to minimize...

Transition zones in railway tracks are locations with an abrupt change in stiffness in the vertical rail supporting structure. These locations are typically located as approaches near engineering structures where there is a sudden change in track substructure. Due to these abrupt changes the dynamic forces of the wheel-rail interaction on the...

In today’s climate of the increasing use of fake news for which deepfakes may be used, and their widespread distribution through social media, the challenge of distinguishing reality from manipulation is growing. The development of deepfake detection technologies (DFDTs) is therefore crucial. The number of deepfake detection companies (DFDCs) is...

An all-solid-state battery represents a promising solution for overcoming current lithium-ion batteries ’technological and safety limitations. However, the individual limitations of both inorganic and organic solid electrolytes hinder technological progression. Hybrid solid electrolytes hold the potential to surpass these limitations by...

The growing consumption of fossil energy resources increases greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). To meet the industry sector's target of reducing GHG emissions by 49% in 2030, relative to the levels in 1990, there is a need for energy storage. Energy storage offers a potential solution to enhance the utilization of renewable energy, by addressing...

As the power system grows more complex and active, equivalent models have become a solution for modelling parts of the network that have limited observability or are confidential or too complex to simulate otherwise. In the past decade, this topic has also made its way to distribution networks because of its transition towards an active network,...

Given the enduring issues of human-induced climate change, the appeal of strategies aimed at reducing greenhouse gases has never been greater. CO2 is the most concerning greenhouse gas due to the large quantity already emitted into the atmosphere and the ongoing excessive emissions from anthropogenic activities. The transportation sector...

Offshore wind energy is expanding rapidly as governments aim for net-zero emissions, with monopiles and jackets being the primary foundation methods for offshore wind turbines (OWTs). Supply chains, heavier turbines and deeper waters influence the efficiency of jacket foundations. This research considers a jacket-founded OWT. The development of...

Each year, over 50 million tonnes of electronic waste is generated globally, with the Netherlands averaging more than 20 kg per capita (Compendium voor de Leefomgeving, 2023). The shift from a linear to a circular economy is crucial in addressing this issue, emphasizing the importance of durability and repairability in product design....

Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is a mathematical technique for performing simulations of turbulent flows, such as those found in the Earth’s atmosphere. Compared to traditional numerical weather and climate models, LES is more accurate in representing turbulent processes and cloud dynamics. The computational burden of LES, however, have histor-...

Overconsumption plays a big part in the current environmental crisis, making a shift towards sufficient consumption imperative. Since overconsumption is often a habit, triggering a stop and re-think process in the consumers' minds may be the way for reduction. Societal norms, proven effective for behaviour change, could disrupt consumption...

A network, is defined as a collection of nodes interconnected by links. When this topology changes through time, we call it a temporal network. A specific class of networks, with only two types of nodes with no connections between one kind, is the bipartite network. An example is a telecommunications network, where nodes represent...

With renewed interest in the development of civil supersonic aircraft, their return in the future is becoming more ever more likely. The environmental impact of emissions in the stratosphere on climate and the ozone layer therefore needs to be explored. The stratospheric ozone levels determine the amount of harmful ultraviolet radiation reaching...

Reconstructing a minimum reticulation network from phylogenetic trees is used in evolutionary studies. In this thesis, we focus on finding temporal networks using cherry-picking sequences for binary trees with all taxa. Finding such a minimum reticulation temporal network is NP-hard.<br/><br/>We introduce an algorithm to find a minimum...

We humans have drastically changed the world in the last few centuries. We have upset the balance of nature. Humanity is forgetting that we are part of nature and dependent on the earth's resources. Our take-make-dispose mindset needs to change. <br/><br/>Biomimicry may be a solution. It is a relatively new movement, a philosophy, that looks to...
