Owen, C.C. (author)The imminence of anthropogenic climate change has motivated a global energy transition towards sustainable power generation. Offshore wind—an important contributor to the energy transition—is expanding, not only in turbine size and number of installations, but also into regions with harsher environmental conditions. One of those conditions in...doctoral thesis 2024

van As, K. (author)Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, for example by causing strokes. Timely diagnosis of such diseases is pivotal for a patient’s chance of survival. Furthermore, in the present world in which medical expenses are going through the roof, we can save greatly on costs if certain diseases are detected in an...doctoral thesis 2024

Tišma, M. (author)This thesis explores the mechanisms that underlie chromosome organization in bacteria. Bacteria are considered amongst the simplest living organisms on our planet. They lack the cellular organization found in other domains of life (Archaea or Eukaryotics) and often have simpler life cycles. Over the past decade, we gained increasing knowledge...doctoral thesis 2024

Alfaraj, Ali (author)Imaging and inversion with seismic data recorded with sources and receivers at the surface are powerful tools to infer knowledge about the subsurface. However, creating an image with seismic data is unfortunately not as easy as taking a picture with a smartphone. The estimated subsurface models in many situations are far from ideal due to the...doctoral thesis 2024

Revelo Obando, B.A. (author)Seismic survey design deals with determining the acquisition parameters that lead to the best possible imaging and characterization of the subsurface. The design of the survey is constrained by health, safety and environmental considerations and the available budget, seeking for a balance between quality and cost. Because seismic exploration is...doctoral thesis 2024

Homborg, A.M. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author), Tinga, Tiedo (author)This paper for the first time treats the interpretation of electrochemical noise time-frequency spectra as an image classification problem. It investigates the application of a convolutional neural network (CNN) for deep learning image classification of electrochemical noise time-frequency transient information. Representative slices of these...journal article 2024

Dong, Y. (author), Lu, Xingmin (author), Li, Ruohan (author), Song, Wei (author), van Arem, B. (author), Farah, H. (author)The burgeoning navigation services using digital maps provide great convenience to drivers. However, there are sometimes anomalies in the lane rendering map images, which might mislead human drivers and result in unsafe driving. To accurately and effectively detect the anomalies, this paper transforms lane rendering image anomaly detection into...poster 2024
