Poggione Garcia, A. (author), van der Meer, Brenda (author), van der Meer, Harma (author), Bange, Rein (author), Klootwijk, R. (author)The emission of CO2 is a significant contributor to global warming, with the mobility sector being a major source. The EU has set a goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, requiring substantial CO2 reduction efforts, particularly in densely populated regions like the Rhine-Delta (RDR). This region’s extensive mobility network, serving both...student report 2024

ten Bosch, Gijs (author), Tian, J. (author), Umasankar, G. (author), Voncken, Christel (author), Zwienink, Leonie (author)Currently, the Southwestern Delta is ill. The inability to produce its essential ecosystem services hinders the Delta from being healthy. Systems that make the Delta economy prosper are the main reasons for this obstruction. If current hazards like salinisation, soil depletion, and nitrogen pollution continue; the livelihood of the peri-urban...student report 2024

de Wilde, Hans (author)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...master thesis 2024

Javvaji, L.S. (author), Bolatkale, M. (author), Bajoria, Shagun (author), Rutten, Robert (author), Essink, Bert Oude (author), Beijens, Koen (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author), Breems, L.J. (author)Advances in CMOS technologies and circuit techniques have led to the development of continuous-time delta-sigma modulators (CTΔ Σ Ms) that sample at gigahertz (GHz) frequencies and achieve high linearity [-100 dBc and >120 dBFS spurious-free dynamic ranges (SFDRs)] in wide bandwidths (>100 MHz). However, at low frequencies (≤ 10 MHz),...journal article 2024

Jian, Yuhang (author)Voice activity detection (VAD) is the prevailing approach to extracting meaningful speech information from the pervasive noise found in the physical environment. Presently, deep neural networks (DNN) are widely employed as the classifier component in Voice Activity Detection (VAD) systems. However, conventional deep neural networks, like fully...master thesis 2023

Eek, Majolie (author)This study is an analysis of sand mining in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) with the use of the optical satellite data set PlanetScope. This is done with a detection and classification model of sand mining vessels in the VMD. The classification model is based on machine-learning and it is trained with three classes: sand mining vessels, other...master thesis 2023

Li, Shenyang (author)This thesis describes the design of a 3rd order 1-bit delta-sigma modulator whose input-signal range (0 to 1.95V) exceeds its supply voltage (1.2V). By using a passive input stage and a single-OTA resonator, this beyond-the-rails modulator realizes a 3rd order loop filter with only two amplifiers instead of the usual three and thus achieves...master thesis 2023

van Asselt, Jasper (author), Bervoets, Hannah (author), Bloem, Celine (author), Kindermann, Vincent (author), Koopman, Ruben (author), Zwaan, Linde (author)The Mekong Delta in Vietnam is facing several challenges as a result of climate change. Among others, the effects include an increase in river discharge during the wet season, leading to river floods, and a decrease in river discharge during the dry season. The decrease in discharge results in a shortage of fresh water required for irrigation...student report 2023

Liu, Tianyi (author)Transcranial Doppler ultrasound imaging is a crucial tool for both clinical and research applications. Despite its significance, its utility is constrained by the dynamic range limitations of the receiver system. Traditional methods, relying on high-dynamic-range front-end amplifiers and high-resolution ADCs, are often inefficient. These methods...master thesis 2023

Gupta, Avish (author)Flow sensing is essential in various industrial, commercial, and biomedical applications. Although many types of flow sensors exist, thermal flow sensors are widely used due to their simple sensing elements (heaters and temperature sensors) and low fabrication costs. A low-cost interface for thermal flow sensors can then be realized with a...master thesis 2023
