This paper primarily employs Item Response Theory (IRT) to estimate item characteristics and the proficiency levels of students as reflected in the exam results. The process includes the application of algorithms for item characteristic parameter estimation and the utilization of statistical techniques for item selection from an item pool....

Emission of ammonia and nitrogen oxides puts pressure on vulnerable ecosystems in The Netherlands. Satellite data from TROPOMI and CrIS gives vertical column density (VCD) maps for nitrogen dioxide and ammonia respectively. The Flux-Divergence method converts a VCD map to an emission map, by temporally averaging the divergence of the flux of the...

In this paper, we want to create a prediction model for target attainment and a scoring system based on these models. The Random Forest model, Logistic Regression model, and Naive Bayes model are employed to achieve this. Classification trees and predictors from the random forest model are used to create the scoring system. The theory behind...

We introduce a method of designing NMR pulse sequences, with a specific focus toward complete decoupling of carbon-13 spin qubits coupled to a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond. Using Average Hamiltonian Theory, we calculate different intermediate Hamiltonians corresponding to different rotations implemented by NMR pulses. Two novel pulse...

Low field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners provide a unique low-cost alternative to conventional MRI scanners. Nevertheless, low-field scanners come with drawbacks such as reduced signal-to-noise ratio and resolution, and also distorted images caused by magnetic field inhomogeneity and non-linear gradient fields. Despite this, it still...

This thesis contains the development of continuous Kepler orbit- and a discrete numerical integration-based collision detection algorithms in a system of LEO satellites, which in combination with collision algorithm form a simplified space debris evolution model. This model is then used to study the Kessler syndrome. The continuous and discrete...

In the fight against money laundering, demand for data-driven Anti-Money Laundering (AML) solutions is growing. Particularly anomaly detection algorithms have proven effective in the detection of suspicious customer behaviour, as well as observing patterns otherwise hidden in customer transaction data. In this thesis, the Isolation Forest...

Ammonia (NH3) is an important chemical compound in the nitrogen cycle. Ammonia is an essential nutrient and an important part of fertilizer, which in soil leads to increased growth of crops. However, the current excess of NH3 emissions is a hazard to environmental and human health. While ammonia<br/>emissions need to be reduced, the emission...

A severe incident with the cargo ship MSC Zoe, which lost hundreds of containers near the Dutch coast, shows how important it can be to detect and localise hidden objects at sea quickly. Also in defence applications localisation of hidden objects in water is important. If the objects are made of magnetic materials, they disturb the Earth...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners are a crucial diagnostic tool for radiologists. They are able to render two­ and three­dimensional images of the body without exposure to harmful radiation. MRI systems are, however, costly to build and maintain. This adversely impacts access to these scanners in developing regions. In an effort to...

In recent years many automatic differentiable programming frameworks have been developed in which numerical programs can be differentiated through automatic differentiation (AD). Examples of these frameworks are Theano, TensorFlow and Pytorch. These frameworks are widely used in Machine Learning. AD also finds applications in the field of...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a painless procedure to produce high-resolution diagnostic images. Today, it is one of the essential clinical imaging modalities. One of the major challenges involved with this imaging modality is its long scanning time. Parallel imaging in combination with compressed sensing has overcome this challenge to a great...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging is one of the most widely used imaging modalities nowadays and it performs especially well imaging human organs such as the brain and liver. One of its main limitations is the relatively long imaging times, to overcome this issue and speed up the data acquisition, several techniques such as Parallel Imaging or PI have...

In dit project worden vier vereenvoudigingen van de trebuchet onderzocht. Er wordt gekeken naar het rendement met betrekking tot de energie overdracht van het zware tegengewicht op het afgeschoten voorwerp. De invloed van het toevoegen van extra armen en wielen wordt onderzocht. Bij meer energie overdracht kan het voorwerp verder weg geschoten...

This thesis covers the power load flow problem and three numerical methods which can be used as a solution. We firstly discuss the concepts from electrical engineering required to discribe the problem. This includes alternating current and voltage and admittances of various electrical elements. We then use these concepts to derive a set of...

In cases that the voltage source is made of multiple cos’s and we can compensate the current, it is always possible with the first Cauer form. This is caused by the shape of the found transfer function Z(s). This transfer function is a fraction where the odd powers of s are in the numerator, while in the denominator are only even powers of s. In...

The theory of morpho-poroelasticity is applied to tumor growth. This allows for the modeling of permanent deformation in the tissue as a result of the presence of tumor cells. The work done in this project can be divided into two parts. In the first part we review existing models for elasticity and build corresponding finite element models. The...

In this report we present a model to simulate the performance and robustness of the Charge-Resonance Check (CR-Check) in the Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) center. The CR-Check is a routine which verifies that the charge state of the NV center is NV$^-$ and that the lasers, addressing the NV center, are on resonance with the optical lines. This is done...

In financial and egineering problems, we are often faced with solving Partial-Integro Differential Equations (PIDEs). Rarely we can find an analytic solution in a closed form expression for these PIDEs, hence we turn to numerical schemes to accurately approximate the solution instead. Classically these methods are based on finite difference...
