This paper presents a multi-objective approach to designing an optimal PV-BES assisted EV fast charging station. The trade-offs between lifetime net present value (NPV), energy independence, and grid power reduction are analyzed using particle swarm optimization and real 50kW fast charging data. Our results show a maximum lifetime profit of...

Breast cancer is currently the most prevalent type of cancer. The concluding diagnosis can be obtained with an MRI-guided biopsy. However, due to respiratory movement and human error, the procedure can require multiple attempts, resulting in harmful consequences. To reach the target at the first attempt, the precision of the procedure should be...

Wind turbines represent an encouraging option for sustainable energy but their noise emissions can be an issue for their public acceptance. Noise reduction measures, such as trailing-edge serrations or permeable inserts, seem to offer promising results in reducing wind turbine noise levels. This manuscript presents a novel holistic approach...

Traditionally, ships are powered by fossil fuels in combustion engines, causing 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Alternative installations have yet to prove their reliability and are currently not as cheap or technological ready. <br/>To enable ship-owners to prepare their ship for the future, but postpone their decision on which...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging is one of the most widely used imaging modalities nowadays and it performs especially well imaging human organs such as the brain and liver. One of its main limitations is the relatively long imaging times, to overcome this issue and speed up the data acquisition, several techniques such as Parallel Imaging or PI have...

Organ-specific, targeted field-of-view (FoV) positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) inserts are viable solutions for a number of imaging tasks where whole-body PET/MRI systems lack the necessary sensitivity and resolution. To meet the required PET detector performance of these systems, high count-rates and...

In cochlear implantation surgery, the appropriate placement of the electrode array into the cochlea is vital. Suboptimal placement of the electrode array may lead to reduced hearing performance and speech recognition after the surgery. Currently, there are methods to confirm the electrode position post-operatively (e.g. through a CT scan), but...

Noise emissions from wind turbines are one of the main issues that the wind energy industry must deal with nowadays. Strict noise regulations often prevent wind turbines to operate at maximum power conditions, causing large losses of power production and, hence, of revenue. Several noise reduction measures have been proposed so far, but the...

Background: When a suspicious lesion is detected, a thorough examination is essential for the diagnostics of the lesion. Information about the nature and character of the lesion is crucial for the determination of the disease and an appropriate corresponding treatment plan. Taking a biopsy plays an important role in this examination. A biopsy is...

Treatment of liver diseases is often done by means of interventional radiology and thereby needles are widely used. These needles are under constant development and therefore needle-tissue interaction data are necessary. The goal of this study is to provide data on needle forces during puncturing of liver blood vessels. These data can be used to...

Currently, measuring wear of the insert of knee implants can only be accurately done in vitro. There are yet no accurate in vivo techniques that can capture and deliver data in real time. Therefore, the main objective of the research reported in this thesis was to introduce and validate a polyethylene insert with integrated wear sensors into...

Liver cancer causes 700.000 deaths annually. To assess new devices and pre-clinical procedures for treatment, a safe test environment can be provided by a phantom. Phantoms act as a surrogate for certain physical properties of tissue. The purpose of this study is to design, construct and evaluate an anthropomorphic liver phantom, which simulates...

Laminated glass components are usually realized by bonding glass plates using interlayer polymers that develop adhesion forces during lamination. Recently, these adhesion forces have been used also to realize special adhesive connections for structural glass components and assemblies. The typical example of such a joining technique is...

The goal of the thesis (executed for Fokker Aerostructures) was to further the understanding of critical parameters in the DCB test method for thermoplastic composites. The influence of fiber bridging, specimen thickness, insert film thickness, crack length and crack opening rate are investigated by means of experimental DCB tests for...

Hogervorst, J.C. (author)
Abstract—Percutaneous needle insertion is a minimally invasive technique, in which intervention effectiveness depends on needle placement accuracy. Targeting specific areas is difficult as needle trajectory is influenced by the highly variable and unpredictable nature of soft tissue. Furthermore the physician receives very limited information,...

Accurate positioning of the needle tip during insertion is essential to ensure a maximum effect of the treatment. Target error is a problem and a lot research fields aim to improve needle insertions. The possibility to measure cutting force and stiffness force separately from friction forces supports the development of new types of needles,...

Epidural anaesthesia is a pain relief technique commonly performed on patients in labor. It requires insertion of a needle into patients back into the epidural space of the spine and inject anaesthetic. It is a blind procedure and anaesthesiologists rely only on the forces felt during needle insertion to determine the position of the needle tip....

Door-to-door transportation for elderly and disabled people is for many governments an important instrument to increase the mobility of this group of people. Many issues arise in the implementation of such a system, which is often modeled as the Dynamic Dial-a-Ride System with Time Windows (DDARPTW). One of those issues is that taxi companies...

The main objective of this research is to modify the catalytic properties of homogeneous chiral dirhodium catalysts upon immobilisation on the porous support materials silica, MCM-41 and TUD-1. The catalysts were immobilised via ligand exchange of one chiral ligand with a carboxylate tether group. This influences the enantio- and trans/cis...

Meeuse, F.M. (author)
Traditionally, process design and control system design are carried out sequentially. The premise underlying this sequential approach is that the decisions made in the process design phase do not limit the control design. However, it is generally known that incongruent designs can occur quite easily. In the literature two different classes of...
