Sinha, Gautam (author)The main aim of the project was to develop a novel algorithm that enable two-dimensional feature detection in an extremely sparse environment of Ion Mobility Imaging Mass Spectrometry (IM-IMS) measurements. For this, 2D Wavelet Transform Maxima is proposed. This led to construction of wavelet chains (ridges) in the wavelet transform space....master thesis 2024

Bertholdt, Jonas (author)The demand for more efficient aircraft and new modes of transportation lead to a departure from the traditional tail and wing configuration. In order to operate an aircraft, it needs to be certified. Most Aircraft with a capacity to carry more than 10 passengers have to fulfil a variety of bird strike related certification standards. These...master thesis 2024

Gielisse, Eveline (author)The study emphasises the importance of understanding individuals' mode choice between train and car to reduce CO2 emissions. It addresses two significant gaps in the existing literature, focusing on the impact of detailed attitudes towards mode use over time and the impact of train travel time components on actual mode use. The study reveals...master thesis 2024

van der Wal, Nienke (author)Introduction- The global incidence of thyroid cancer has risen significantly, prompting the development of innovative surgical techniques. Transoral thyroidectomy offers a scarless alternative, with the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) showing promising results. However, CO2 insufflation during TOETVA can lead to...master thesis 2024

Suresh, Aswin (author)Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) can create large parts, due to its high deposition rate. WAAM can be used to create functionally graded materials (FGMs) such as a strong core of high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel and corrosion-resistant cladding of austenitic stainless (AUS) steel. However, HSLA and AUS steel are dissimilar metals with...master thesis 2024

Walinga, Hielke (author)The behavior of software systems can be modeled as state machines by looking at the log data from these systems. Conventional algorithms, such as L∗, however, require too much memory to process log data when it gets too large. These algorithms must first load all available data into memory, which is often way too much.<br/>The approach...master thesis 2024

Kuipers, Seppe (author)The Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor is a widely-used device to measure the light wavefront. Cur- rently, the sensor is used as a gradient sensor, which is achieved by placing the microlens array in the plane conjugate to the deformable mirror and the aberration. The resulting spot pattern is then transformed into a gradient through the use of...master thesis 2024
