van Dijk, Mees (author)Algorithms which can effectively detect epileptic seizures have the potential to improve current treatment methods for people who suffer from epilepsy. The current state-of-the-art methods use neural networks, which are able to learn directly from the electroencephalogram (EEG) data without feature extraction. However, neural networks have...master thesis 2024

van Dijk, Bob (author)In the Netherlands, numerous bridges face reassessment. During this assessment, it is observed that in some cases, the applied shear reinforcement (stirrups) does not meet the detailing requirement given in the national annex of the NEN-EN 1992-2. This requirement, which states that the stirrups must enclose the longitudinal reinforcement to...master thesis 2024

van Dijk, M.P. (author), Hoozemans, Marco J.M. (author), Berger, M.A.M. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author)In wheelchair sports, there is an increasing need to monitor mechanical power in the field. When rolling resistance is known, inertial measurement units (IMUs) can be used to determine mechanical power. However, upper body (i.e., trunk) motion affects the mass distribution between the small front and large rear wheels, thus affecting rolling...journal article 2024
