Kalender, Deniz (author)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...master thesis 2024

Liu, X. (author)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...doctoral thesis 2024

Thielen, Jaimy (author)The aviation industry requires continuous reductions in greenhouse gas and noise emissions, which is resulting in a shift towards hybrid and fully electric aircraft. The propeller is an attractive form of propulsion system for electric aircraft as it can achieve high efficiencies and has excellent scalability potential. However, a major concern...master thesis 2024

Stam, Noah (author)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...master thesis 2024

Koetzier, Lennart (author)Motivation: Effective management of liver tumors through thermal ablation requires precise monitoring of the ablation zone to ensure successful treatment outcomes. Computed tomography (CT) thermometry offers a promising non-invasive solution to monitor if tumor cells have been heated to the lethal temperature threshold. However, achieving...master thesis 2024

Wang, R. (author)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...doctoral thesis 2024

de Keijzer, Robbert (author)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...master thesis 2024

van Dooren, K.S. (author)The aeronautical industry has set ambitious goals to reduce its environmental impact and become sustainable. Addressing rising emissions involves strategies such as reducing structural weight, due to its direct impact on fuel consumption, and the use of new materials and manufacturing techniques. Research and development on thermoplastic...doctoral thesis 2024

Patel, Devashish (author)The human operator's manual control behaviour under time-invariant conditions has been successfully modelled. However, significant gaps remain in understanding and modelling adaptive manual control behaviour under time-varying conditions. One such less-understood aspect is the pilot's ability to detect changes in time-varying controlled element...master thesis 2024

Angevare, J. (author)Advanced Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) exhibit significant self-heating and require thermal management to prevent overheating. Sensors for this application should be not only small so that they can be placed ubiquitously, but they should also achieve moderate accuracy and resolution within 1 ms so that the die temperature can be monitored with...doctoral thesis 2024

Henkes, Casper (author)From formal hardware models to programming language implementations concurrency is everywhere. While there has been a lot of work done on verifying concurrent systems a large part of it is focused on SC. In practice, it is more common to encounter weak memory models for which the techniques developed for SC do not work. There exists previous...master thesis 2024

Neele, Maurits (author)High-precision mechatronic equipment often benefits from or even needs vibration isolation to function within specification. Examples of such equipment include metrology devices, space instrumentation and lithography assemblies. Vibration isolation is often the function of the mounting between the equipment and the floor or rest of the machine....master thesis 2024

Zhang, A. (author)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...doctoral thesis 2024
