Kurucz, Liza (author)Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the Netherlands. Accurate assessment of the prostate volume (PV) is a crucial step in prostate cancer (PCa) screening and risk-stratification. In standard clinical care, the PV is obtained by measuring the prostate dimensions with the aid of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS). However, rectal...master thesis 2024

van Putten, Noël (author)In this paper, the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm is used to perform a constrained wing shape optimization. The PPO algorithm is a Machine Learning (ML) algorithm that improves itself by repeatedly performing the same optimization and learning from its results. The complete adaptation of the PPO framework to the design problem is...master thesis 2024

Roozendaal, Tim (author)The focus of this thesis is the hydrodynamic limit of the Brownian Energy Process (BEP) and the<br/>Asymmetric Brownian Energy Process (ABEP) in infinite volume. The thesis starts by introducing some general theory about Markov processes, after which the topic of Markov duality is introduced. A number of relevant interacting particle systems ...master thesis 2024

Fu, Jinshi (author)In 2022, Golse and Paul defined a pseudometric for quantum optimal transport that extends the classical Wasserstein distance. They proved that the pseudometric satisfies the triangle inequality in certain cases. This thesis reviews their proof in the case where the middle point is a classical density. Motivated by that proof, we formulate the...master thesis 2024

van Slogteren, Julia (author)This project aims to create a proof of concept to evaluate the potential value of implementing a heat recovery system for Quooker in the kitchen context. In response to the global goal of achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050, reducing energy loss has become a shared priority. Heat recovery systems can significantly decrease energy...master thesis 2024
