Kumar, Abhinav (author), Gupta, Ankit (author), Anupam, K. (author), Wagh, Vivek Pratap (author)In most of developing countries across the world, pavement design is still based on an empirical approach that may result in premature failure or overdesigned pavements. A shift from an empirical to a semi-mechanistic or mechanistic approach is the need of modern time. In this regard, computational tools such as finite element (FE) are being...journal article 2024

Hadjigeorgiou, Georgios (author)This thesis research focuses on MRI technology and more specifically the evaluation of the generalized signal model (full-wave signal). The research aims to investigate how dielectric properties influence the magnetic fields in MRI scans, by using a more complex signal model that takes into account scattered fields caused by dielectric...master thesis 2023

Middelhoek, Femke (author)Abstract—The MOSES project develops an autonomous vessel equipped with an autonomous crane to optimise the supply chain of shortsea shipping. This study focusses on monitoring the safety of the port environment based on stereo camera data generated by sensors attached to the crane at 15m altitude, oriented 45° downward. The objective is to...master thesis 2023

Haakman, Koen (author)Ocean currents play a crucial role in many scientific and industrial applications. Contemporary measurement techniques are limited in spatial coverage or spatial resolution. This study presents a proof-of-concept for a new measurement principle that merges optical satellite imagery of Kelvin wakes with data from the Automatic Identification...master thesis 2023

van Nee, Mirrelijn M. (author), Wessels, L.F.A. (author), van de Wiel, Mark A. (author)BACKGROUND: High-dimensional prediction considers data with more variables than samples. Generic research goals are to find the best predictor or to select variables. Results may be improved by exploiting prior information in the form of co-data, providing complementary data not on the samples, but on the variables. We consider adaptive ridge...journal article 2023

Wong, Howard (author), Yap, M.D. (author)Understanding the passenger demand impacts of public transport service changes is a fundamental aspect of transport planning. The main objective of this study is to derive an updated Generalised Journey Time (GJT) elasticity for urban and metropolitan public transport networks, by applying a revealed preference approach using individual...journal article 2023

Troost, Christian (author), Huber, Robert (author), Bell, Andrew R. (author), van Delden, Hedwig (author), Filatova, T. (author), Le, Quang Bao (author), Lippe, Melvin (author), Niamir, Leila (author), Polhill, J. Gareth (author), Sun, Zhanli (author), Berger, Thomas (author)There has so far been no shared understanding of validity in agent-based simulation. We here conceptualise validation as systematically substantiating the premises on which conclusions from simulation analysis for a particular modelling context are built. Given such a systematic perspective, validity of agent-based models cannot be ensured if...journal article 2023

Andrade Castanheira, Francisco (author)The optimization of interplanetary, low-thrust trajectories is a computationally expensive aspect of preliminary mission design. To reduce the computational burden associated with it, surrogate models can be used as cheap approximations of the original fitness function. Training the surrogate models in a fully online manner can be done to...master thesis 2022

van Bentem, Leanne (author)Increasing concerns about the safety of cyclists request for more research in how infrastructure can be improved to increase cycling safety. Literature in the prediction of bicycle crash risk however is very limited. Also the amount of available (exposure) data was often very limited. The aim of this study was to provide a better understanding...master thesis 2022

Van den Berghe, K.B.J. (author), Louw, E. (author), Pliakis, F.A. (author), Daamen, T.A. (author)Within the majority of port city literature, the evolution of port cities is still explained as an inevitable or ‘logical’ process whereby maritime land-uses gradually migrate from city centres towards waterfront zones with deep water access. Between the 1950s and 2000s, obsolete port areas around the world have surely become waterfront...journal article 2022

Deul, Marije (author)The current fatigue assessment methods for naval ships are intentionally conservative. This is in part due to uncertainties in the fatigue capacity (i.e. fatigue resistance) of the ship: the nominal and hot spot structural stress incorporate implicit conservatism due to the inherent data-scatter and the Linear Damage Accumulation Model (LDAM) by...master thesis 2021

Wagenaar, Carel (author)In this thesis, we introduce the quantum groups Uq(SL(2,C)) and Aq(SL(2,C)) as Hopf algebras. We study their representations, including their similarities and differences with the classical theory. We show that the eigenvectors of Koorwinder's twisted primitive elements of Uq(SU(2)) are dual q-Krawtchouk polynomials. We use this explicit...master thesis 2021

van Nes, A. (author), Yamu, Claudia (author)In this chapter, we show what and how space syntax has contributed to theories and general knowledge of the built environment. First, we provide an introduction to two established research traditions, positivism and hermeneutics. The aim is to demonstrate through modal logic what the possibilities and limitations are for gaining general...book chapter 2021

Seale, Colm (author)Synthetic lethality (SL) arises between two genes when loss of function of both genes would lead cells to become inviable. This can be exploited for therapy, where a drug is used to selectively kill diseased cells by perturbing one gene of an SL pair where the other gene is inactive (e.g. through naturally occurring mutation). Computational...master thesis 2020

van Weelderen, Guus (author)The objective of this study is to strengthen literature about cyclist safety and help prevent bicycle crashes in the future. It looks into the gap about the relation between the obstacle space of cycling infrastructure (that involves the space that is available for cyclists to avoid crashes with the obstacles therein) and the visibility thereof,...master thesis 2020

van Opstal, W. (author)Navigational charts play a vital role in a ship's safety while navigating the seas, rivers or lakes. With most of the features and obstructions being out of sight -below sea-level - these charts are more critical than e.g. topographic maps. For routing but also positioning, depth information is a key aspect on these charts. This depth...master thesis 2020

Stoter, J.E. (author), te Winkel, Daniël (author), van Altena, V.P. (author)The Dutch Kadaster is responsible for the acquisition and maintenance of topographical data and visualisations at scale 1:10k and smaller. This is currently realised through an acquisition process by topographers who acquire 1:10k data from aerial images. In a next step, the smaller scale data and visualisations are derived by a fully automated...conference paper 2020

Cicirello, A. (author), Mace, Brian (author), Kingan, Michael (author), Yang, Yi (author)The first and second order sensitivity analysis of the eigenvalue problem of generalised, nonsymmetric matrices using perturbation theory is developed. These results are then applied to sensitivity analysis of wave propagation in structures modelled using the wave and finite element (WFE) method. Three formulations of the WFE eigenvalue problem...journal article 2020

Koole, Ruth (author)Statistics Netherlands performs many different surveys to obtain estimates of unknown characteristics of the Dutch population. To keep the response burden on the Dutch households low, Statistics Netherlands applies a screening procedure to their selected samples. In our research, we investigate the effects of the screening procedure on the...master thesis 2019
