Pekelharing, Floor (author)The energy transition is a pressing and widely debated topic in society and is creating global challenges. As the switch is made to sustainable energy carriers, more pressure is being put on to our electricity grids and the network operators managing them. They, however, face the uncertain future capacity needs of the grid and operate in a...master thesis 2023

STAVROU, SOFIA (author)Maintaining a healthy eating behavior can be challenging, especially under stressful situations. Self-control plays a pivotal role in this struggle, since it allows one to resist immediate desires in pursuit of higher-level goals. The level of self-control can differ among individuals, with varying degrees of “strength”. This strength can be...master thesis 2023

Hopf, Y.M. (author)This thesis describes the design of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for high-frame-rate 3D intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) probes. The work follows the whole process from the analysis of the application to the testing of a prototype with all envisioned functionality. It starts with the evaluation of the main challenges posed...doctoral thesis 2023

Schönthaler, Rick (author)This thesis comprises of vertical deformation differences in high-rise structures where a concrete stability core is combined with a timber frame. The timber frame consists out of prefab timber modules which derive all lateral stability from the concrete core. Due to contrasting elastic, hygroexpansion and viscoelastic properties there is a...master thesis 2023

van de Leur, Sophie (author)Timber high-rise buildings have been gaining in popularity. However, due to the low material stiffness of timber the stability systems of these buildings are often made with steel or concrete. To avoid this the material efficiency of the timber stability systems must be improved. The most material efficient stability systems for timber high-rise...master thesis 2023

Koppensteiner, Sarah (author), van Velthoven, J.T. (author), Voigtlaender, Felix (author)This paper provides maximal function characterizations of anisotropic Triebel–Lizorkin spaces associated to general expansive matrices for the full range of parameters p∈ (0 , ∞) , q∈ (0 , ∞] and α∈ R. The equivalent norm is defined in terms of the decay of wavelet coefficients, quantified by a Peetre-type space over a one-parameter dilation...journal article 2023

Jamshidian, Roya (author), Scully, James (author), van den Akker, H.E.A. (author)We report the findings of a detailed assessment of various options for computational two-fluid RANS simulations of an aerated agitated 2-L bioreactor equipped with a single baffle and several dip tubes. The simulations were carried out by using the commercial flow solver ANSYS/Fluent. Our focus was on (1) the outlet condition at the liquid's...journal article 2023

Koppensteiner, Sarah (author), van Velthoven, J.T. (author), Voigtlaender, Felix (author)Continuing previous work, this paper provides maximal characterizations of anisotropic Triebel-Lizorkin spaces F˙p,qα for the endpoint case of p= ∞ and the full scale of parameters α∈ R and q∈ (0 , ∞]. In particular, a Peetre-type characterization of the anisotropic Besov space B˙∞,∞α=F˙∞,∞α is obtained. As a consequence, it is shown that...journal article 2023

Bravo, Úrsula (author), Cortés, Catalina (author), Lloyd, P.A. (author), Jones, Derek (author)Educational systems face increasingly complex demands, confronting teachers with multidimensional people-centred problems rarely solved by linear or standardised solutions. Nevertheless, teachers must juggle multiple variables simultaneously in their daily work. This can lead to routine and unreflective decisions that do not consider unique...journal article 2023

van Grunsven, J.B. (author), Stone, T.W. (author), Marin, L. (author)It is crucial for engineers to anticipate the socio-ethical impacts of emerging technologies. Such acts of anticipation are thoroughly normative and should be cultivated in engineering ethics education. In this paper we ask: ‘how do we anticipate the socio-ethical implications of emerging technologies responsibly?’ And ‘how can such responsible...journal article 2023
