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...

Introduction<br/>Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent joint disease affecting 7% of the global population in 2020. Lower limb malalignment emerges as a significant contributor to OA, presenting as varus or valgus misalignment. This deviation induces unicompartmental pathology, leading to the wear and tear of the protective cartilage. Surgical...

75% of all mental health issues arise between the ages of 14 and 25 (Kessler et al., 2005). Suicide is the number one cause of death among young people (Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek, 2023), one in three adolescents experiences performance pressure (Kleinjan et al., 2020), one in seven adolescents has depressive symptoms (Kleinjan et al.,...

Visits to the pediatric outpatient clinic are often accompanied by stress and anxiety, not only in the child but also within the parents. Within current trends in healthcare, parents are becoming more and more involved in the treatment of their child. The Hospital Hero Foundation, that already developed an app to reduce hospital related fear and...

This study presents a novel approach for evaluating the effects of dynamic disturbances on optical performance using sensitivity analysis. The computation of optical performance for perturbed optical systems is too costly with state-of-the-art analysis software when applied in the use case for the optimization of the optomechanical interface,...

At the turbulent/non-turbulent interface (TNTI) of a jet flow, momentum is transferred from the turbulent jet fluid to the fluid at rest. This transfer is governed by two mechanisms. One of them is related to the large scales of the flow and the other relates to the small scales of the flow. Which of the two is dominant is still a point of...

This study presents an AlN-based Lamb wave (A0 mode) liquid sensing device designed for biomedical applications. The Lamb wave device features a 1.5 μm composite membrane consisting of a 500 nm LPCVD SiN and a 1 μm of a c-axis oriented AlN film. Additionally, an innovative 45° rotated IDT design was explored to minimize edge reflections towards...

This research investigates the challenges a user faces in the activation step in shape-changing products. First, previous research on the topic of 4DP is reviewed and important factors are described. Namely, activation temperature, print temperature, print speed, and layer height have a signifi cant impact on the shrinkage...

Organic micropollutants (OMPs) originate from organic chemicals such as drugs and pesticides that are widely used in human activities. OMPs are difficult to remove by conventional water treatment techniques, and hence continue to accumulate in natural water bodies. More effective methods need to be investigated for the removal of OMPs in...

Semiconductor product development becomes increasingly challenging due to diminishing product life cycles, miniaturization, introduction of new physical principles, and new manufacturing processes. These problems are compounded in the absence of standardized development processes for the most complex semiconductor products like MEMS technologies...

While the assumption of incompressible flow has been the prevailing standard for numerical simulations of wind turbine aerodynamics, the limit of this assumption is approached as the industry progresses towards increasingly higher operational tip speeds. This thesis explores the implications of compressibility and transonic flow phenomena,...

The development of the global COVID-19 pandemic from 2020 onward has had significant impact on the world and specifically the maritime industry. Striking examples were COVID-19 outbreaks onboard the Diamond Princess cruise vessel and the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier at the start of the pandemic. Contagious disease management...

As autonomous vehicle (AV) technology progresses, the necessity for a comprehensive understanding of interactions between AVs and human-driven vehicles (HVs) becomes paramount, particularly in critical manoeuvres such as merging. Mastering merging interactions is essential for enhancing road safety. Existing research in this field focuses on how...

In common practice, quay walls are engineered to fulfil their services for a minimum lifetime. However, in many cases, quay walls are designed stronger than minimally required, which means that the quay wall could be able to serve its purpose over a longer period or endure higher loads. In general, the optimization of quay wall designs or the...
