Automated driving technologies offer significant societal benefits but face challenges, particularly in interactions between automated and human-driven vehicles during lane changes and merging on highways. This thesis addresses this issue by focusing on joint driver efforts and proposes a new Communication-Enabled Interaction (CEI) model...

Climate change is a pressing issue. Hydrogen aircraft are an excellent alternative to current kerosene aircraft, and appear to be the most viable long-term solution for net-zero flight. One of the main challenges for hydrogen aircraft is to sustain a low boil-off rate. This research explores the solution of active cooling of the LH2 mixture in...

A large-scale quantum network, where many nodes are connected via entanglement and can share and process quantum information, will allow applications that are now unattainable. While some are known, ranging from distributed quantum computing to enhanced quantum sensing and quantum communication, the full potential of such a fundamentally new...

<br/>This research contributes to addressing climate change challenges through the examination of hydrogen combustion. It investigates the flow dynamics within a simplified model of Ansaldo Energia's GT36 reheat combustor using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) at a high pressure of 20 bar, focusing on the autoignition flashback phenomena observed....

Deep-sea mining Industry and academia are presently investigating the potential of deep-seamining for valuable resources such as poly-metallic nodules. Nevertheless, the process of manoeuvring, excavating, and processing these resources poses a threat to the deep-sea environment through the generation of plumes of suspended fine-grained solids,...

Neglecting actuator dynamics in nonlinear control and control allocation can lead to performance degradation, especially when considering fast dynamic systems. This thesis provides a novel method to account for actuator dynamics in the control allocation solution, dynamic incremental nonlinear control allocation, or D-INCA. The incremental...

Research on hangar parking is scarce and either neglects or oversimplifies towing considerations. In this paper, a novel approach is presented that integrates towing operations as a fundamental aspect of the hangar parking optimization, and uniquely focuses on minimizing towing operations. For the method, two A* adaptations, Dynamic State A* and...

Deep learning is the core algorithmic tool for automatically processing large amounts of data. Deep learning models are defined as a stack of functions (called layers) with millions of parameters, that are updated during training by fitting them to data. Deep learning models have show remarkable accuracy gains on visual problems in video and...

Radionuclide therapy is an important cancer treatment modality that makes use of the local irradiation from radionuclides at the tumor sites. Radiopharmaceuticals are normally composed of three components: radionuclide, carrier and tumor targeting agent. In terms of the radionuclide carriers, macrocyclic and acyclic chelators are commonly used...

This thesis explores the development of energy transition personas to inform the development process of energy transition projects in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The research addresses the challenges of end user acceptance and participation in the transition away from natural gas consumption. By employing grounded theory, an inductive and...

A design study was performed that investigated the feasibility of a business concept combining a unified supply chain with automated vending points in the floriculture sector. In such a business, a direct link between production (growers of flowers) and customers exists. The added value along the chain can then remain with the growers. This...

The primary objective is to explore the relationship between support for Universal Basic Income (latterly referred to as UBI), labor participation, and poverty reduction in the Netherlands across various financial policies. The research also seeks to examine the behavioral responses of Dutch citizens to UBI policies, considering potential...

Bio-mediated methods, such as microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) and enzyme induced carbonate precipitation (EICP), have gained considerable attention as alternatives to invasive ground improvement techniques. MICP and EICP use biogeochemical processes to drive carbonate precipitation and bind soil grains, thereby improving the...

In the scope of global decarbonisation, hydrogen has been identified as an essential energy carrier. Not only as an energy storage solution for further electrification in vehicles but also as a primary fuel source in processes that rely on chemical energy which cannot be easily electrified. However, at ambient conditions, hydrogen is also a very...

The effect of creating parallel welds in a single overlap using continuous ultrasonic welding on the weld quality has been investigated, with the goal of creating three high-quality parallel welds. To achieve this, multiple aspects were examined to understand the creation of high-quality parallel welds. The weld quality is highly influenced by a...

The reimbursement scheme in geriatric rehabilitation (GR) contains stepwise tariffs depending on both the length of stay and treatment intensity: after a pre-determined number of inpatient days or treatment hours, the total reimbursement jumps to a higher level and then stays constant until the next threshold is reached. These discontinuous...

In forensic science, the strength of evidence is calculated mainly by statistical models called likelihood ratio systems. In court cases, the specific-source likelihood ratio system is used by forensic scientists to determine if a trace originates from a known reference, called the trace-reference problem. However, collecting sufficient data to...

Edge AI is an architectural deployment tactic that brings AI models closer to the user and data, relieving internet bandwidth usage and providing low latency and privacy. It remains unclear how this tactic performs at scale, since the distribution overhead could impact the total energy consumption. We identify four architectural scalability...
