Wesdorp, J.J. (author)The growing understanding of the physics of superconductor-semiconductor nanostruc- tures is a key driver for the development of emerging quantum technologies. The elemen- tary excitations of these hybrid nanostructures are Andreev bound states. To further our knowledge about their intricate physics, new tools must be used to study them. This...doctoral thesis 2024

Liscio, E. (author)Human values are the abstract motivations that drive our opinions and actions. AI agents ought to align their behavior with our value preferences (the relative importance we ascribe to different values) to co-exist with us in our society. However, value preferences differ across individuals and are dependent on context. To reflect diversity in...doctoral thesis 2024

Vilkelis, K. (author)A large part of condensed matter physics concerns itself with understanding the behaviour of electrons in solids and finding ways to control them. However, in mesoscopic systems (i.e., systems with nanometer to micrometre scale), the behaviour of electrons is difficult to predict through the Schrödinger equation. Instead, it is often more...doctoral thesis 2024

Schweidtmann, A.M. (author), Zhang, Dongda (author), von Stosch, Moritz (author)The term hybrid modeling refers to the combination of parametric models (typically derived from knowledge about the system) and nonparametric models (typically deduced from data). Despite more than 20 years of research, over 150 scientific publications (Agharafeie et al., 2023), and some recent industrial applications on this topic, the...review 2024

Hammer, T.C. (author), Puolakka, Otto (author), Hendrikse, H. (author)A modeling approach to simulate ice-induced vibrations of vertically sided offshore structures in ice tank experiments is presented. The technique combines replica modeling with the preservation of kinematics during ice-structure interaction. The technique was chosen based on the theoretical understanding that ice-induced vibrations are...journal article 2024

Xue, Fei (author), Yao, Enjian (author), Cherchi, Elisabetta (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author)Difficulty in finding parking spaces and high parking fees discourage private car usage. Fully autonomous vehicles (AVs) capable of self-parking away from destinations will likely remove this barrier. Despite extensive survey-based research on AVs in recent years, existing literature has not sufficiently addressed the potential impact of new...journal article 2024

Baqershahi, Mohammad Hassan (author), Ayas, C. (author), Ghafoori, Elyas (author)Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) enables the manufacturing of efficient and lightweight structural elements in which material can be utilised wherever needed in an optimised shape, in contrast to standard prismatic profiles used in construction. However, the specific energy consumption (SEC) of WAAM is higher than that of conventional...journal article 2024

(author), Stoorvogel, Marte M. (author), van den Berg, M. (author), Kroeze, Carolien (author), van Loon-Steensma, Jantsje M. (author)Coastal flood managers seek to anticipate future flood risk and as a result consider the adaptation of flood defences. Instead of crest heightening, dikes can be adapted to include hydrodynamic reducing vegetated foreshores to form a nature-based hybrid flood defence, for instance; at managed realignments. In this study we investigated the...journal article 2024

Hiralal, Anwar (author), Geelhoed, Jeanine S. (author), Hidalgo-Martinez, Silvia (author), Smets, Bent (author), van Dijk, Jesper R. (author), Meysman, F.J.R. (author)Many environmentally relevant micro-organisms cannot be cultured, and even with the latest metagenomic approaches, achieving complete genomes for specific target organisms of interest remains a challenge. Cable bacteria provide a prominent example of a microbial ecosystem engineer that is currently unculturable. They occur in low abundance in...journal article 2024

van den Engel, P.J.W. (author)An overview is given of the state-of-the-art of natural and hybrid ventilation in buildings in general. The focus of this paper is on boundary conditions for openable windows. As a case study the Co Creation Centre at the TU-Delft is discussed. Occupants live in their own houses and often in an office or other working environments as well. Due...journal article 2024

Li, Minglei (author), Peng, Shu (author), Nan, L. (author)We propose a concept of hybrid geometry sets for registering cross-source geometric data. Specifically, our method focuses on the coarse registration of geometric data obtained from laser scanning and photogrammetric reconstruction. Due to different characteristics (e.g., variations in noise levels, density, and scales), achieving accurate...journal article 2024

Sugano, Keisuke (author), Lu, Simo (author), Hooimeijer, F.L. (author), van de Ven, F.H.M. (author)Within the global transition to sustainable urban water management, Dutch polder cities are also contemplating revitalising their water traditions. One of the keys to this task is to integrate water management into urban design, which is explored but not yet practically instrumentalized in the urban design process. This article introduces the...journal article 2024

Pasolari, R. (author), Ferreira, Carlos (author), van Zuijlen, A.H. (author), Baptista, C.F. (author)The past few decades have witnessed a growing popularity in Eulerian–Lagrangian solvers due to their significant potential for simulating aerodynamic flows, particularly in cases involving strong body–vortex interactions. In this hybrid approach, the two component solvers are mutually coupled in a two-way fashion. Initially, the Lagrangian...journal article 2024

Blom, H.A.P. (author)Abstract.: The transition kernel of an ℝ<sup>n</sup>-valued diffusion or jump diffusion process {X<sub>t</sub>} is known to satisfy the Feller property if {X<sub>t</sub>} is the solution of an SDE whose coefficients are Lipschitz continuous. This Lipschitz route to Feller falls short if {X<sub>t</sub>} is the solution of an SDE whose...journal article 2024

Krilašević, S. (author)Both societal and engineering systems are growing in complexity and interconnectivity, making it increasingly challenging, and sometimes impossible, to model their dynamics and behaviors. Moreover, individuals or entities within these systems, often referred to as agents, have their own objectives that may conflict with one another. Examples...doctoral thesis 2023

van Loo, N. (author)The development of quantum computers is perhaps one of the most exciting innovations of our time. The most investigated quantum computers, however, suffer from the fact that quantum information is lost due to interaction between the quantum bits and their environment. As a radically different approach, it has been proposed that one can instead...doctoral thesis 2023
