The objective of the European Green Deal is to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 and to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 [1]. Due to a growing global population and increased needs for travelling on the one hand, and progressive bans of short-haul flights by the governments on the other, the need for a more...

The Netherlands aims to have a carbon-neutral energy system by 2050. Hydrogen is seen as an important energy carrier that can contribute to this transition. Not only can hydrogen potentially decarbonise industry, transportation, and possibly agriculture and the built environment, but it can also be used to store electricity for longer periods....

Machine learning models have improved Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) in aviation, notably in estimating the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of aircraft engines. However, their 'black-box' nature limits transparency, critical in safety-sensitive aviation maintenance. Explainable AI (XAI), particularly Counterfactual (CF) explanations, offers...

The Netherlands is on the verge of initiating its most extensive maintenance project in history. The Dutch government will have to invest an estimated minimum of 260 billion Euros for the renewal of its aging civil structures like bridges, viaducts, and tunnels. This large maintenance operation is labeled as the replacement and renovation task....

The increasing parcel demand is resulting in increasing traffic congestion and emission problems in urban freight system. Crowdshipping service is an innovative logistics solution which envisions using the excess capacity in existing passenger transport to perform the delivery tasks. However, it may bring extra vehicle kilometres travelled due...

Hydrogen is used in a variety of industrial applications and can function as a green energy carrier, if produced sus-tainably. Alkaline water electrolysis holds great promise as a production method for green hydrogen, potentially playing an important role in the energy transition. The performance of this technology depends significantly on its...

Semi-active lower limb prostheses currently use variable damping to generate the gait cycle. This, however, only dissipates energy. Variable stiffness can store and release energy, making prostheses more efficient for walking. This study aims to design and evaluate a semi-active adjustable stiffness ankle-knee prosthesis that can change its...

Conceptual models in hydrology are widely used, allow for easy interpretation and require little data. Machine learning models in hydrology often outperform conceptual models but lack the ease of interpretability, require large amounts of data and and do not obey physical laws. Hybrid approaches aiming to combine the advantages of both...

The offshore renewable energy market is rapidly growing, particularly in wind and solar sectors. The intermittent nature of these energy sources underscores the necessity for offshore energy storage solutions. Among the techniques being explored, Marine Pumped Hydro-Energy Storage (MPHES) emerges as a promising option. This innovative concept...

Machine learning aims to solve a task with a certain algorithm or statistical model that is trained on data, with or without labels. As a subcategory of machine learning, deep learning achieves good performance with its flexibility on end-to-end representation learning and architecture design. Despite the successes of deep learning, the output...

Background <br/><br/>The surgical management of Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) cancer poses significant challenges, primarily due to the complexity of patients. However, the role of stereopsis (depth perception) in visualizing three-dimensional (3D) anatomical models remains relatively underexplored. Integrating stereoscopic technologies with 3D...

The Hollandsche IJssel plays an important role in the freshwater provision of the province Zuid-Holland. Consequently, for Rijkswaterstaat it is key that salt intrusion is minimal in the Hollandsche IJssel. Recent studies noted that salt intrusion in the Hollandsche IJssel is limited due to a phase difference between tidal velocities in the main...
