Agba, Obinna (author)Primary health care facilities are usually the first point of call for patients seeking medical help. However, mis-diagnosis at this stage of the clinical encounter is still quite prevalent. Mis-diagnosis can be potentially harmful to the patient and even when not the case, there is an increased financial cost of arriving at the correct...master thesis 2020

Huijing, Jasper (author)RANS simulation are one of the most used tools for aerodynamic analysis. The advantage of RANS simulations is the reduced computational cost compared to other methods such as LES or DNS. This is because by solving the RANS equations one only solves for the mean flow. However, this reduction in computational cost comes at the price of uncertainty...master thesis 2020

Hendrickx, Rik (author)As on-time performance is one of the main contributors to success in the world of commercial aviation, predictions on flight delays and cancellations can significantly improve operational efficiency and thus quality of service. Since flight delays and cancellations are occasional and infrequent events, operational on-time performance data is...master thesis 2020

Yin, Yuchen (author)This thesis focuses on classifying AF and Normal rhythm ECG recordings. AF is a common arrhythmia occurring in millions of people every year, which could lead to blood clots, stroke or even heart failure. When AF is occurring, the P waves are often absent and RR intervals are often irregular. <br/><br/>This thesis proposes a new Poincaré plot...master thesis 2020

Pietrak, Jakub (author)Graph Neural Networks are a unique type of Deep Learning models that have a capability to exploit an explicitly stated structure of data representation. By design they carry a strong relational inductive bias, which is a set of assumptions that makes the algorithm prioritize some solutions over another, independent of observed data. This makes...master thesis 2020

Günes, Merve (author)Coastal dunes habitats are in the transition zone of marine and terrestrial ecosystems and therefore have high biodiversity in terms of animal and vegetation species. These species provide important ecosystem services to the human kind. Due to the development and operation of Maasvlakte 2, an increase of nitrogen emission is expected in the...master thesis 2020

Lacoa Arends, Eric (author)The increasing penetration of weather-dependent energy sources brings additional challenges to the operation of the power system. Wind power forecasting is a valuable resource for these power operators: a tool that aids the decision-making process and facilitates risk management. On the other hand, the progress of machine learning and their...master thesis 2020

ZHU, Yuchen (author)Force field is widely used to model the potential energy in atomistic simulation systems. Despite force fields have a concise mathematical form, a good set of force field parameters usually requires extra care of calibration. Besides, numerous ionic force field parameters are reported from various sources as researchers have specific target...master thesis 2020

Gerling, Jan (author)Refactorings tackle the challenge of architectural degradation of object-oriented software projects by improving its internal structure without changing the behavior. Refactorings improve software quality and maintainability if applied correctly. However, identifying refactoring opportunities is a challenging problem for developers and...master thesis 2020

Xie, Yuanhao (author)The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has made various industries eager to realise and obtain the benefits of AI. There is an increasing amount of research surrounding AI, most of which is centred on the development of new AI algorithms and techniques, thereby, however, ignoring an increasing set of practical problems related to AI...master thesis 2020

van den Berg, Ronald (author)Cryogenic electron tomography (cryo-ET) is currently the golden standard for imaging cellular tissue at nanometer resolution. The current workflow from cultured cells to final image is however very time-consuming, labor-intensive, expensive, and has a low yield. Moreover, many of the steps in this workflow require practice. Even after practice,...master thesis 2021

Khedekar, Tejas (author)Movable bridge decks experience critical expansion in summer, leading to uncertainty and unpredictability in its availability doe to improper docking and safety hazard. If the bridges are not cooled soon, the inertia of expansion stays, causing prolongation of availability problems. Structural health monitoring of such bridges with a predictive...master thesis 2021

Kolenbrander, Thomas (author)Incident management is one of the top priorities for IT companies. Within incident management the so-called major incidents, incidents with a severe impact on the company, require emergency actions to reduce this impact. An earlier detection of these major incidents will lead to a faster resolution time and this can be achieved by using software...master thesis 2021

Storm, Joep (author)Designing engineering structures relies on accurate numerical simulations to predict the behaviour of a structure before its realization. In the design process, many variables influence the final structure. There is an incentive for optimizing the design based on the desire for cheaper structures and less material usage. Although a wide variety...master thesis 2021

Jain, Akhil (author)Ultrawideband technology can be used to measure the distance between two device equipped with ultrawideband transceivers. Multiple ultrawideband devices known as anchors can localize a device that supports ultrawideband communication after each anchor measures the distance between itself and the device. The anchor and the tag can measure the...master thesis 2021

den Hartog, Dylan (author)Background: Osseointegration is a relatively new alternative for a socket to attach an artificial limb to the stump of an amputee. In a surgical procedure, a metal implant is permanently anchored and integrated into the bone of the stump. Amputees with an osseointegrated prosthesis have indicated that they experience better physical control over...master thesis 2021

Martens, Savine (author)The automotive industry is foreseeing a future where driver and car will form a synergy, by allowing the car to predict the driver’s intent. Nissan has already successfully predicted the intent to make lane changes in a driving simulator with just six electroencephalography (EEG) electrodes on the movement related cortical potential using...master thesis 2021

Mohamedhoesein, Majid (author)Recently machine learning (ML) has become increasingly popular, and has been shown to be a powerful predictive technique. The applications of ML cover a wide range of disciplines, including the natural sciences. Presently, the field of catalysis is still relatively unexposed to ML and other data-driven techniques. This can largely be attributed...master thesis 2021
