Bakker, Bo (author)Data-driven approaches are a promising new addition to the list of available strategies for solving Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). One such approach, the Principal Component Analysis-based Neural Network PDE solver, can be used to learn a mapping between two function spaces, corresponding to a PDE. However, the practical limitations of...bachelor thesis 2024

Bos, P. (author), Ritzen, L. (author), van Dam, S.S. (author), Balkenende, R. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author)Replacing fossil-based feedstock with renewable alternatives is a crucial step towards a circular economy. The bio-based plastics currently on the market are predominantly used in single-use applications, with remarkably limited uptake in durable products. This study explores the current state of the art of bio-based plastic use in durable...journal article 2024

Bakker, S. (author), Knödler, L. (author), Spahn, M. (author), Böhmer, J.W. (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author)In this paper, we address the problem of real-time motion planning for multiple robotic manipulators that operate in close proximity. We build upon the concept of dynamic fabrics and extend them to multi-robot systems, referred to as Multi-Robot Dynamic Fabrics (MRDF). This geometric method enables a very high planning frequency for high...conference paper 2024

Ökmen, Ö. (author), Leijten, M. (author), Strattona, Theodora (author), Bosch-Rekveldt, M.G.C. (author), Bakker, H.L.M. (author)In addition to the tools and techniques available, project risk management also depends on the attitudes of people in an organisation, how the available tools are used, and how the procedures are followed. Therefore, efforts to improve the project risk management capacity of organisations may fail if the diversity of people (characters, traits...journal article 2024

(author), Ochkin-Koenig, Olga (author), Franck, Miika (author), Weis, Dominik (author), Meesters, G.M.H. (author), van Ommen, J.R. (author)Stirring has been recognized in the literature as a promising technique for facilitating fluidization of cohesive powders, via inputting additional energy to counteract interparticle forces. However, the influence of operating conditions and stirrer configurations on flow behavior remains largely unknown, which impedes the practical...journal article 2024

(author)In the past, a large part of the seabed of the southern North Sea was covered by hard substrates, including oyster beds, coarse peat banks, and glacial erratics. Human activities, particularly bottom trawl fisheries, led to the disappearance of most of these hard substrates, resulting in the loss of its associated diverse benthic life as well...journal article 2024
