Sorgedrager, Riemer (author)This study focuses on automated malaria diagnosis in low quality blood smear images, captured by a low-cost smartphone based microscope system. The aim is to localize and classify the healthy and infected erythrocytes (red blood cells) in order to evaluate the parasitaemia in an infected blood smear. Due to the lower quality of the smartphone...master thesis 2018

Xie, X. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)With trajectory data, a complete microscopic and macroscopic picture of traffic flow operations can be obtained. However, trajectory data are difficult to observe over large spatiotemporal regions—particularly in urban contexts—due to practical, technical and financial constraints. The next best thing is to estimate plausible trajectories from...journal article 2018

van Maarseveen, Sander (author)In this research, insight is gained into the impacts of truck platooning on traffic performance and safety at motorway on-ramps in mixed traffic using microscopic simulation. Thereby different platooning strategies and platoon configurations are considered, that for instance differ in desired platoon inter-vehicle gaps and platoon sizes. The...master thesis 2017

van den Brink, Bram (author)To facilitate research on the dynamics of micro-cantilevers immersed in liquid, a modal test setup was designed. Modal testing is a powerful form of dynamic testing whereby the system's natural frequencies, modal masses, modal damping ratios, mode shapes, and weight of each of these modes at a certain frequency are determined. Micro-cantilever...master thesis 2017

Robertson, L.A. (author)Possible techniques for lighting opaque samples while using Van Leeuwenhoek microscopes have been tested, and the results are presented in relation to published material. The design of the microscope causes the sample to be in shadow with any form of top lighting. It is therefore suggested that Van Leeuwenhoek's hinted 'particular method of...journal article 2017

de Wit, Niek (author)A surgical microscope is a stereo, optical device that is positioned near the patient to magnify, illuminate and record the working area during surgery. The different types of surgical procedures, the variety of tools used by the surgeon and the varying viewpoint of the surgeon combined, makes it a very dynamic situation where the microscope...master thesis 2017

Porter, Emily (author), Hamdar, Samer H. (author), Daamen, W. (author)This paper presents an integrated modelling framework to capture pedestrian walking behaviour in congested and uncongested conditions. The framework is built using a combination of concepts from the Social Force model (basic one-to-one interaction), behavioural heuristics (physiological and cognitive constraints), and materials science (multi...journal article 2017

Rajagopal, Sricharan (author)<br/>In recent years the Tapping Mode-Atomic Force Microscope (TM-AFM) has become one of the most important tools for imaging on the nanometer scale. In comparison with other contemporary technologies, the AFMs have been able to obtain atomic resolution both in high vacuum and liquid environments thus affirming their supremacy. The AFM can be...master thesis 2017

Prasittisopin, L. (author), Chaiyapoom, P. (author), Thongyothee, C. (author), Snguanyat, C. (author)Recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) have been widely used as concrete aggregates in construction. This is due to economic and environmental benefits of using RCA in concrete. Unlike natural aggregate (NA), the use of RCA in concrete seems not promising to the users implementing it, especially in structural purposes. The RCA concrete is reported...conference paper 2017

Ghaemi, N. (author), Cats, O. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)Currently railway traffic controllers use predefined solutions (contingency plans) to deal with a disruption. These plans are manually designed by expert traffic controllers and are specific to a certain location and timetable. With a slight change in the timetable or infrastructure, these plans might not be feasible and have to be updated....journal article 2017

(author), Otte, A. F. (author), Rost, M. J. (author)Within the last three decades Scanning Probe Microscopy has been developed to a powerful tool for measuring surfaces and their properties on an atomic scale such that users can be found nowadays not only in academia but also in industry. This development is still pushed further by researchers, who continuously exploit new possibilities of...journal article 2017

Gong, H. (author), Soloviev, O.A. (author), Verhaegen, M.H.G. (author), Vdovin, Gleb (author)We present a quantitative phase imaging microscope based on a Shack-Hartmann sensor, that directly reconstructs the optical path difference (OPD) in reflective mode. Comparing with the holographic or interferometric methods, the SH technique needs no reference beam in the setup, which simplifies the system. With a preregistered reference, the...journal article 2017

Gonnissen, J. (author), De Backer, A. (author), den Dekker, A.J. (author), Sijbers, J. (author), Van Aert, S. (author)In this work, a recently developed quantitative approach based on the principles of detection theory is used in order to determine the possibilities and limitations of High Resolution Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR STEM) and HR TEM for atom-counting. So far, HR STEM has been shown to be an appropriate imaging mode to count the...journal article 2017

(author)A hollow microcantilever is used instead of a conventional microcantilever to dispense and aspirate liquids in the femto-litre (10<sup>-15</sup> L) volume range in an atomic force microscope (AFM) setup. The inherent force sensing capability of the cantilever is used to monitor the fluid manipulation in-situ. At this small scale, parameters...journal article 2017

Goni-Ros, B. (author)Sag vertical curves (sags) are roadway sections along which the gradient increases gradually in the direction of traffic. Empirical observations show that, on freeways, traffic congestion often occurs at sags; actually, in some countries (e.g., Japan), sags are one of the most common types of freeway bottleneck. This thesis is the outcome of a...doctoral thesis 2016

de Laat, Marcel (author), Perez Garza, H.H. (author), Ghatkesar, M.K. (author)The choice on which type of cantilever to use for Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) depends on the type of the experiment being done. Typically, the cantilever has to be exchanged when a different stiffness is required and the entire alignment has to be repeated. In the present work, a method to adjust the stiffness in situ of a commercial AFM...journal article 2016
