In our thesis, we conducted an in-depth exploration of the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in public sector decision-making, focusing particularly on AI case routing for welfare benefits allocation. Initially, our research was guided by a techno-optimistic viewpoint, presuming that municipalities would inherently benefit from AI...

Recent literature in real-time trajectory planning has proposed using Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) as collision constraints in Model Predictive Control (MPC) for efficient guidance, a concept referred to as MPC-CBF. This concept has been explored for both first and second-order CBFs. However, these approaches relied on an analytical...

This design report discusses the embodiment design of a more efficient frying pan for gas powered stoves in commercial kitchens, to see if a potential market entry is feasible, viable and desirable. Conventional pans have a thermal efficiency of roughly 25%. This means that only 25% of the heat coming from the combusted gas is used for cooking....

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is becoming more prevalent as the world population gets older. The formation of Amyloid-beta (\AB) plaques is one of the pathologies related to AD. Recent work has shown that the \ab load in brain tissue has a negative correlation with cognitive performance in cognitively healthy centenarians. <br/>This work aims to...

Banks issue mortgages with an embedded option for borrowers to prepay a part of the loan. However, this behaviour poses a risk to banks as it disrupts the level and timing of mortgage cash flows. From an earning perspective, when interest rates decrease, customers are financially incentivised to prepay their mortgages, resulting in a decrease in...

Due to global warming causing climate change, extreme conditions like droughts and floods are increasingly happening. Currently buildings in the Netherlands are experiencing the consequences of these extreme conditions, which they are not build for. Especially the foundations are a big problem. Therefore this paper is aiming to find a foundation...

Polders water canals are sometimes exposed to brackish seepage from the nearby saline sea (salinization). This is a problem because the canal water is used to irrigate crops. A characteristic of water is that less dense (fresh) water floats on top of dense (saline) water. In lakes and oceans, it is common that water layers with various densities...

Purpose: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is used in the diagnostic process and management of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Also, 18F-FDG PET radiomic features have been found to hold prognostic value for clinical outcome in mCRC. However, no prognostic model has yet been developed to...

Suction grippers have the advantage to handle many different types and sizes of items, without being restricted by the dimensions of clamps to enclose an object and to handle objects more delicately. <br/>However, the challenge of attaching these grippers to irregularly-shaped and rough surfaces remains a persistent issue. Despite advancements...

Ethiopia’s energy demand is expected to increase sevenfold in the coming 30 years, resulting in increased variable renewable electricity (VRE) production by solar PV and wind. Energy storage acts as a buffer that mitigates the effects of over- or under-capacity in production by VRE. With 97% of global bulk energy storage, pumped hydro storage is...

Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is the most used additive manufacturing technique that uses a heated nozzle to melt a polymer and a feeder to extrude it on a buildplate. The dependencies of temperature, shear-rate, viscosity and pressure of the melt create complex dynamics within the nozzle, which causes inconsistent extrusion. To improve...

All investment firms in Europa must track the market quality of different exchanges and choose the best for their clients. Previous research has shown that a limit order book with additional market makers performs best in terms of market quality, followed by a pure limit order book and market maker. With the rise of cryptocurrencies, a new...

Maastricht is located between two extremities. On the one hand, the center that seems to be frozen in a heritage policy that allows little flexibility. On the other hand, the suburbs where the change is so intense that time layers are constantly being wiped away and what remains seems generic. The site of this graduation project is located...

Being able to estimate atrial tissue conductivity parameters from epicardial electrograms is an important tool in diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation. One of these parameters is the atrial fibre direction, which is often assumed to be known in conductivity estimation methods. In this thesis, a novel method...

Single-Stage-To-Orbit (SSTO) launch vehicles are capable of reaching orbit while being potentially fully reusable. A technology capable of enabling SSTO access to space is the air-breathing engine, which has a high specific impulse and low thrust-over-weight (T/W) ratio compared to conventional rocket engines. This necessitates the use of a...

As software systems evolve over time, the quality of its structure and code degrade unless developers regularly maintain it, requiring significant effort. Automated tools to help developers maintain software have been well-studied in the past. <br/>In particular, software remodularisation tools focus on improving the code structure quality with...

Shipping is, and will continue to be, the most important transportation method around the globe. A vital part of the logistic chain, it is also one of the main contributors to the worldwide CO2 emissions. Current propulsion technologies all rely on the same classic diesel driven technology, as diesel is widely available and has a high energy...
