Koopmans, Jaap (author)According to the Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu (RIVM), there will be more focus on tackling the unhealthy effects of urbanization in the near future. This together with the presence of a large stock of vacant buildings and other developments within these urban areas and the challenges which are formed by the developments in...master thesis 2023

Halman, Susanna (author)This thesis presents the research to design a successful high-accuracy, sub-millimetric registration method for an autonomous robot equipped to drill bone for cochlear implant (CI) surgery. Its performance, and thus success, is measured in accuracy, workload, usability and trust. While state-of-the-art (STOTA) research lacks the inclusion of...master thesis 2023

Rojas, D. (author), Quintana Gallo, P. (author), Pürgstaller, A. (author), Bianchi, S. (author), Ciurlanti, J. (author), Pampanin, S. (author), Bergmeister, K. (author)This article presents a numerical study on the influence of the anchorage shear hysteresis on the seismic response of nonstructural components (NSC) connected to multi-storey reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, and of the anchorage itself. To cover a variety of different types of shear hysteresis shapes, this contribution considered the...journal article 2023

Effenberger, Moritz (author)This research focuses on reliability-based, Bayesian updating of grout anchors’ bearing capacity. Firstly, grouted anchors are commonly used in practice, even though large uncertainties surround their bearing capacity. Secondly, every anchor must be tested on their working load for quality assurance. Because of the combination of those two...master thesis 2022

Ali, Suleyman (author)A majority of existing single-anchor localization algorithms make use of antenna arrays or special antenna systems. However, the need for specialized antenna systems incurs higher costs, complexity and power consumption. This paper presents a novel single-anchor localization algorithm, which does not require antenna arrays or special antennas....bachelor thesis 2022

Weststeijn, Cornel (author)Loosening of pedicle screws after spinal fusion surgery can lead to serious complications and may prevent fusion between vertebrae. This problem, which has increased in recent years, is a more frequent problem in patients with osteoporosis. In this study, we explore the possibility to use an expanding in‐pedicle anchor with the goal of...master thesis 2022

Shi, Z. (author), Su, Qingtian (author), Veljkovic, M. (author)In recent years, ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) has been introduced in the design of orthotropic steel decks (OSD) to reduce the risk of fatigue cracking. To investigate the fatigue behaviour and fatigue damage process of the orthotropic steel-UHPC composite bridge deck, a fullscale specimen was designed and tested under cyclic loading....conference paper 2022

de Kater, E.P. (author), Sakes, A. (author), Edström, Erik (author), Elmi-Terander, Adrian (author), Kraan, Gerald (author), Breedveld, P. (author)Purpose: This review provides an overview of the patent literature on posteriorly placed intrapedicular bone anchors. Conventional pedicle screws are the gold standard to create a fixation in the vertebra for spinal fusion surgery but may lack fixation strength, especially in osteoporotic bone. The ageing population demands new bone anchors...review 2022

Rezaei, J. (author), Arab, Alireza (author), Mehregan, Mohammadreza (author)In this study, the existence of anchoring bias—people's tendency to rely on, evaluate, and decide based on the first piece of information they receive—is examined in two multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) methods, simple multi-attribute rating technique (SMART), and Swing. Data were collected from university students for a transportation...journal article 2022

van Koten, Koen (author)In this thesis I will show the realisation of a multiline anchor system using a suction pile anchor (SPA). From the literature research it can be concluded that the SPA is a suitable anchor for a multiline anchor system and that the most probable mooring configurations will be either the original single-line, the 3-line or the 6-line system....master thesis 2021

Jalilvand, Soroosh (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Sivakumar, Vinayagamoothy (author), Gilbert, Robert B. (author), Bradshaw, Aaron (author)Offshore wind developments are moving towards deep-water regions where energy is abundant, visual impact is minimised and the larger turbine sizes can make the energy production more cost-effective. One of the key challenges facing the industry is the development of reliable substructures. While fixed foundation systems are widely used for...journal article 2021

Ali, A. (author), Dodou, D. (author), Smit, G. (author), Rink, Ruben (author), Breedveld, P. (author)Positioning and stabilizing a catheter at the required location inside a vessel or the heart is a complicated task in interventional cardiology. In this review we provide a structured classification of catheter stabilization mechanisms to systematically assess their challenges during cardiac interventions. Commercially available, patented,...review 2021

Boes, Deborah M. (author), Godoy Hernandez, A. (author), McMillan, D.G.G. (author)Membrane proteins can be classified into two main categories—integral and peripheral membrane proteins—depending on the nature of their membrane interaction. Peripheral membrane proteins are highly unique amphipathic proteins that interact with the membrane indirectly, using electrostatic or hydrophobic interactions, or directly, using...journal article 2021

Rezaei, J. (author)The aim of this study is to look at anchoring bias–one of the main cognitive biases–in two multi-attribute decision-making methods, SMART and Swing. First, the existence of anchoring bias in these two methods for eliciting attribute weights and attribute values is theorised. Then, a special experiment is designed to compare the results...journal article 2020

Chan Chow, Megan (author)Offshore floating wind turbines are one of the newest technologies in the renewable markets today. The world’s first floating wind farm, the Hywind Scotland Pilot Park, was commissioned in October 2017 and has been competitive with fixed bottom offshore wind turbines. There is a global push to make more renewable energy available, but less...master thesis 2019

Giampa, J.R. (author), Bradshaw, Aaron (author), Gerkus, Hande (author), Gilbert, R.B. (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Sivakumar, V. (author)This paper presents an experimental and analytical study to investigate the effect of shape on the pull-out capacity of shallow horizontal plate anchors in sand under drained loading conditions. Novel dynamically penetrating plate anchor concepts have been proposed for use in the offshore energy sector. These anchor concepts may have shapes that...journal article 2018

van der Graaf, Onne (author), Hillen, Huub (author), van der Does de Willebois, Jeroen (author), Franken, Kris (author)The main goal of this project is to determine the optimal location for an OTEC installation with a minimum lifespan of 30 years off the coast of Barranquilla and to make an anchor mooring design for the floater on which this installation is located. Bluerise has identified an area near the coast of Barranquilla for which OTEC can be applied....student report 2018

Roelofs, Koen (author)Yachts are built to provide guests with a unique experience. In order to provide this experience, yachts are often anchored at special locations. Captains prefer to use a single bow anchor when they moor the vessel. Problems are reported with respect to the availability while yachts are at anchor. These are caused by environmental forces....master thesis 2017

Alvarez, A. (author)A great number of studies documented bidder merger losses around the merger announcement date. The majority of the determinants documented are considered rational, however, a great line of literature has increasingly focused on the effect of past stock prices on decision makers e.g. 52-week high. This implies that there is a notion of...master thesis 2017
