Gerats, Steven (author)With more than half of all food waste taking place at home, a transition in our consumer behaviour is needed if we want a future with less waste. While supermarkets and food producers have strong incentives and have the tools to reduce waste on their side, consumers seem to be less concerned about wasting food. However, they are also caught in a...master thesis 2023

Yan, R. (author)High-strength steel (HSS) has higher strength but lower ductility than mild steel. The cross-section of the structural members may be reduced using HSS instead of mild steel, provided the buckling of elements does not govern the failure. The reduced member size benefits the environment and economy by means of less energy consumption, less carbon...doctoral thesis 2023

Nierop, Jaden (author)Digital watermarking has been used extensively in media in recent years. Yet, there are still relatively few techniques for watermarking 3D meshes. In this paper we implement a watermarking algorithm proposed by O. Benedens that encodes a bit string in the distribution of the normals of the faces of the mesh and investigate a method to improve...bachelor thesis 2023

Smulders, M. (author), van Dijk, L.N.M. (author), Song, Y. (author), Vink, P. (author), Huysmans, T. (author)When designing wearables that interface with the human head, face and neck, designers and engineers consider human senses, ergonomics and comfort. A dense 3D pressure discomfort threshold map could be helpful, but does not exist yet. Differences in pressure discomfort threshold for areas of the head, neck and face were recorded, to create a 3D...journal article 2023

Dekking, F.M. (author)We discuss the base 3/2 representation of the natural numbers. We prove that the sum-of-digits function of the representation is a fixed point of a 2-block substitution on an infinite alphabet, and that this implies that sum-of-digits function modulo 2 of the representation is a fixed point x<sub>3/2</sub> of a 2-block substitution on {0,1}....journal article 2023
