Fotis, Konstantinos (author)The Landing Platform Dock vessel is mainly designed to support amphibious operations in which landing operations play an important role. For operating landing craft the vessel has a well dock at the stern, designed to station several landing craft. Landing operations are restricted by the motions of the Landing Platform Dock vessel and by the...master thesis 2024

de Koster, P.B.J. (author), Wahls, S. (author)Lax-integrable partial differential equations (PDEs) can by definition be described through a compatibility condition between two linear operators. These operators are said to form a Lax pair for the PDE, which itself is usually nonlinear. Lax pairs are a very useful tool, but unfortunately finding them is a difficult problem in practice. In...journal article 2024

(author)Activated carbon is employed for the adsorption of organic micropollutants (OMPs) from water, typically present in concentrations ranging from ng L<sup>−1</sup> to μg L<sup>−1</sup>. However, the efficacy of OMP removal is considerably deteriorated due to competitive adsorption from background dissolved organic matter (DOM), present at...journal article 2024

Despotopoulou, M. (author), Langejans, G.H.J. (author), Hendrikx, R.W.A. (author), Joosten, Ineke (author), Nijemeisland, M. (author), Poulis, J.A. (author), Kozowyk, P.R.B. (author)Archaeological findings prove the appearance and use of birch bark tar since the Middle Palaeolithic. The production and use of birch bark tar and pine wood tar has overlapped since at least the late Neolithic, but probably for much longer. The reliable chemical identification of such archaeological tar residues can offer valuable insights...journal article 2024

Manikandan, Rakshith (author)Fibre-reinforced laminated composites are constructed layer-by-layer, allowing their material properties to be easily tailored relative to their isotropic counterparts (metallic alloys). Moreover, a composite structure with variable stiffness (VS) can be made by spatially tailoring stiffness across a laminate. This permits better load...master thesis 2023

Mendoza Silva, Santiago (author)Bacterial identification is crucial for addressing infectious diseases and enabling effective treatment strategies. Conventional bacteria identification methods like MALDI-TOF, while efficient, lack the capability for screening the effectiveness of antibiotics. On the other hand, existing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) tests, despite being...master thesis 2023

Bleeker, Julian (author)The research objective of this research is to develop a measurement method that can measure thin film thicknesses through a multilayer that consists of both surrounding thick layers and in between thin films. An optical non-contact measurement method is researched and developed to non-destructively measure the thickness of a liquid thin film,...master thesis 2023

van Vliet, Sjoerd (author)Different paradigms can be used to evoke brainwaves. These brainwaves can be interpreted as commands that can be used to control different applications. These frameworks that interpret the brainwaves are called brain-computer interfaces. Steady-state visually evoked potentials is one of these paradigms that uses external stimuli flickering at...master thesis 2023

Apostolidis, P. (author), Porot, Laurent (author)Bituminous binders are foreseen as colloidal dispersed systems characterised by high chemical complexity containing a plethora of molecules classified into maltenes and asphaltenes. The effect of these fractions on the overall response of bituminous binders remains elusive. This research selected two binders from the same refinery but with...journal article 2023

Lee, Y.C. (author), Brühl, M. (author), Wahls, S. (author)When a large number of solitons dominates the dynamics of a system, scientists describe this collective behaviour of solitons as a soliton gas. Soliton gases are currently the subject of intense practical and theoretical investigations. The existence of soliton gases has been confirmed in experiments, but is not clear what kind of sea states...conference paper 2023

de Koster, P.B.J. (author), Wahls, S. (author)We present a fast method to calculate the significantly large solitonic components of signals with large time-bandwidth products governed by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, for which the computation typically becomes prohibitively expensive and/or numerically unstable. We partition the full signal in both frequency and time to obtain...journal article 2023

de Koster, P.B.J. (author), Schulz, Olaf (author), Koch, Jonas (author), Pachnicke, Stephan (author), Wahls, S. (author)We experimentally investigate the problem of monitoring the Kerr-nonlinearity coefficient $\gamma$ from transmitted and received data for a single-mode fiber link of 1600 km length. We compare the accuracy and speed of three different approaches. First, a standard split-step Fourier method is used to predict the output at various $\gamma$...journal article 2023

Chimmalgi, S. (author), Wahls, S. (author)Riemann theta functions play a crucial role in the field of nonlinear Fourier analysis, where they are used to realize inverse nonlinear Fourier transforms for periodic signals. The practical applicability of this approach has however been limited since Riemann theta functions are multi-dimensional Fourier series whose computation suffers...journal article 2023

The image reconstruction of ultrasound computed tomography is computationally expensive with conventional iterative methods. The fully learned direct deep learning reconstruction is promising to speed up image reconstruction significantly.

Boomaars, Kay (author)Sea level rise causes more difficulties for coastal maintenance. Although hard structures were built in the past to prevent for flooding, nature based solutions are preferred more recently. For the application of nature based solutions, a better understanding of the coastal processes is desired. Dry sand is transported towards the dunes by...master thesis 2022
