Tang, Jiayi (author)Synthetic tabular data generated by tabular generative models represent an effective means of augmenting and sharing data. It is of paramount importance to trace and audit such synthetic data, avoiding potential harms and risks associated with inappropriate usage. While watermarking techniques are increasingly used for synthetic images, little...master thesis 2024

Tanmeet Kaur, Tanmeet (author)This thesis describes the implementation of a phase-domain readout system for a thermal-diffusivity (TD) based temperature sensor. Such sensors measure the phase shift of an electro-thermal filter (ETF), which exhibits a near-linear dependency on absolute temperature. The phase shift is measured by a phase-domain delta-sigma modulator (PD-DSM)....master thesis 2024

de Bruijn, May (author)Accurate placement of screws in spinal surgery is vital to mitigate risks like instability, nerve damage, or spinal cord injury, which can lead to various complications such as pain, sensory loss, muscle weakness, or paralysis below the injury site [33]. However, success rates in screw placement vary widely, ranging from 27.6% to 100% [56].<br/>...master thesis 2024

Battegazzore, Andrea (author)Race cars use aerodynamic downforce to reduce the lap times by increasing grip. Diffusers, upswept ramps located at the rear of a vehicle, are often used to enhance downforce. This investigation proposes a novel LPT facility featuring HFSB, LED illumination, and high-speed cameras to characterize the flow inside automotive diffusers. An RC car,...master thesis 2024

Aghaeian, S. (author)H igh-temperature (HT) oxidation plays a significant role in various stages of the steelmaking process, including hot rolling. When exposed to high temperatures and oxygen partial pressure, the steel composition near the surface can be altered as alloying elements deplete. Additionally, the characteristics of the oxide scale, such as thickness...doctoral thesis 2024

Shrestha, S. (author), Dekker, J. (author), Gerritsma, M.I. (author), Hulshoff, S.J. (author), Akkerman, I. (author)In this paper, we build on the work of Hughes and Sangalli (2007) dealing with the explicit computation of the Fine-Scale Greens’ function. The original approach chooses a set of functionals associated with a projector to compute the Fine-Scale Greens’ function. The construction of these functionals, however, does not generalise to arbitrary...journal article 2024

Butt, E.N. (author), Padding, J.T. (author), Hartkamp, Remco (author)The local conditions inside a gas diffusion electrode (GDE) pore, especially in the electrical double layer (EDL) region, influence the charge transfer reactions and the selectivity of desired CO<sub>2</sub>ER products. Most GDE computational models ignore the EDL or are limited in their applicability at high potentials. In this work, we...journal article 2024

Hussein, Abdelrahman (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author), Kim, Byungki (author)In recent years, a new class of super saturated binary and ternary alloys have demonstrated the ability for the self-healing of creep-induced voids formed at the grain boundaries. However, a clear understanding of the parameters affecting the self-healing mechanism is still not yet complete. One of the main challenges is understanding the...journal article 2024

(author), Sun, Jun (author)The carbon partitioning and lengthening rate of bainitic ferrite (α<sub>b</sub>) are excellent experimental parameters to estimate our level of understanding of the mechanism of bainitic transformation from a continuum perspective and our ability to capture it in analytical expressions. For Fe-C alloys and relatively simple steels the...journal article 2024

Kettler, T.T. (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), Luijendijk, Arjen (author)Projections of high rates of sea level rise have stimulated proposals for adaptation strategies with increasingly high nourishment volumes along sandy beaches. An underlying assumption is that coastal profiles respond rapidly to nourishments by redistributing sediments towards a (new) equilibrium shape. However, this perception may not be...journal article 2024

Kuruganti, V.V. (author), Isabella, O. (author), Mihailetchi, Valentin D. (author)Interdigitated back contact (IBC) architecture can yield among the highest silicon wafer-based solar cell conversion efficiencies. Since both polarities are realized on the rear side, there is a definite need for a patterning step. Some of the common patterning techniques involve photolithography, inkjet patterning, and laser ablation. This...journal article 2024
