van der Leun, Joanna (author)In advanced capitalist societies, nature has become more dependent on human influence. But some species are living in closer proximity than others. Including the Lesser Black-backed Gull. Throughout the 20th century, human activities have led to changes in the environment of this “synanthropic” species, a species living in close proximity to...master thesis 2023

(author), Forte, Lucia (author), De Luca, Claudio (author), Filardo, Giuseppe (author), Labberté, Margot (author), Kok, Joeri (author), Nickel, Joachim (author), van Osch, G.J.V.M. (author)Despite promising clinical results in osteochondral defect repair, a recently developed bi-layered collagen/collagen-magnesium-hydroxyapatite scaffold has demonstrated less optimal subchondral bone repair. This study aimed to improve the bone repair potential of this scaffold by adsorbing bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and/or platelet...journal article 2023

Ji, Xulingyun (author)Animal farming is increasingly getting more attention and debate nowadays because of a lot of environmental issues it caused. Apart from that, the intensive animal factories have made consumers quite separated from food animals. What’s more, the animal welfare in current animal farming is not ensured, especially in those intensive animal...master thesis 2022

de Waardt, Bonnie (author)Nature inclusive is a large topic that is still in its pioneering phase. There is a need for clear elaboration and ways of incorporating this new way of thinking into design. In order to have a functional nature inclusive design one must fist<br/>know the existing ecosystem to contribute to this. The research question: how can a designer analyze...master thesis 2022

Jonker, Luc (author)For mobile augmented or virtual reality applications with limited processing power, representing realistic water geometry is a challenge. Many existing solutions are simulations that can only run at interactive rates on desktop computers. This paper presents a lightweight approximative approach to water representation achieved through mesh LOD...bachelor thesis 2022

Lungu, Alexandru (author)This paper proposes a novel approach to visualizing events in sailing regattas, in a way that is engaging, informative and interactive to the users of the Sailing+ application. The approach used was to create two different types of visualizations for each type of event: artistic, which contains animations and effects such as depth of field, and...bachelor thesis 2022

Speelman, Ruben (author)In the underwater environment, it is all but silent. In most parts of the oceans, sunlight is barely available and thus marine animals have evolved to rely on sound for navigation, foraging and communication. Marine animals are not the only sources of underwater sound. Other natural sources such as earthquakes, waves and rain cause ambient noise...master thesis 2022

Idsinga, Johannes (author)Animal-induced anomalies on a levee surface negatively affect the erosion-resistance of a levee, leading to rapid failure of the inner slope in case of overtopping and/or overflow during high water. Where active prevention techniques of burrows from large animals, such as muskrats, are applied in and around levees in the Netherlands, the...student report 2022

Buso, A. (author), McQuillan, H.L. (author), Jansen, K.M.B. (author), Karana, E. (author)Designers of textile-based interactive systems tend to treat woven fabrics as static materials and lack deeper understandings of how the textile can be designed for responsive behaviours in artefacts. As a result, in most studies across design and HCI, textiles are employed as substrates for computational, biological, or smart materials. This...conference paper 2022

Andrade Borges, E.I. (author), Rieder, J.S.I. (author), Aschenbrenner, D. (author), Scharff, R.B.N. (author)Soft robots are typically intended to operate in highly unpredictable and unstructured environments. Although their soft bodies help them to passively conform to their environment, the execution of specific tasks within such environments often requires the help of an operator that supervises the interaction between the robot and its environment...journal article 2022

(author)Purple non-sulphur bacteria (PNSB) are an emerging group of microbes attractive for applied microbiology applications such as wastewater treatment, plant biostimulants, microbial protein, polyhydroxyalkanoates and H<sub>2</sub> production. These photoorganoheterotrophic microbes have the unique ability to grow selectively on organic carbon in...journal article 2022

de Groot, Robbie (author)Last-mile delivery robots intended to operate on the sidewalk still require supervision because they are only semi-autonomous. If left to their own devices, they tend to cause undesired interactions. Our project proposes a design philosophy that can reduce the amount and severity of these interactions, improving the overall acceptance of...master thesis 2021

Kronmüller, Linda (author)Belgrade is a city in the Balkan peninsula and has hosted different Empires through the centuries which formed a vivid cultural heritage. When thinking about a possible future identity, the city must cope with its complex history, present memories alive in the city and a range of different narratives that interweave with selfsame. Looking for a...master thesis 2021

(author), van Osch, G.J.V.M. (author)In recent decades, an increasing number of tissue engineered bone grafts have been developed. However, expensive and laborious screenings in vivo are necessary to assess the safety and efficacy of their formulations. Rodents are the first choice for initial in vivo screens but their size limits the dimensions and number of the bone grafts...journal article 2021

(author), Joo, Rocío (author), Evers, L.G. (author), Smets, P.S.M. (author)Seabirds are amongst the most mobile of all animal species and spend large amounts of their lives at sea. They cross vast areas of ocean that appear superficially featureless, and our understanding of the mechanisms that they use for navigation remains incomplete, especially in terms of available cues. In particular, several large-scale...journal article 2021

(author)The genotype-phenotype link is a major research topic in the life sciences but remains highly complex to disentangle. Part of the complexity arises from the number of genes contributing to the observed phenotype. Despite the vast increase of molecular data, pinpointing the causal variant underlying a phenotype of interest is still challenging...journal article 2021
