Mommersteeg, Aart (author)The sentinel lymph node biopsy procedure for melanoma patients can be improved with the use of a minimally invasive sentinel lymph node biopsy device. This thesis shows the early stage designing process of such a device, which can reduce overall tissue damage and opens up possibilities to remove the need for general anaesthesia and therefore the...master thesis 2024

Walinga, Hielke (author)The behavior of software systems can be modeled as state machines by looking at the log data from these systems. Conventional algorithms, such as L∗, however, require too much memory to process log data when it gets too large. These algorithms must first load all available data into memory, which is often way too much.<br/>The approach...master thesis 2024

Stevense, Wesley (author)We perform a numerical optimisation of the hardware parameters of an atomic-ensemble-based single repeater setup. The setup operates on a real-life fiber network connecting the cities Delft and Eindhoven. Besides this network, the setup encompasses photon pair sources, quantum memories, single photon detectors, and 50:50 beam splitters. The...master thesis 2024

Azad, A. (author), Panigrahi, Siddhant (author), Thondiyath, Asokan (author), Patel, Nirav (author)Robotic interventions have become a pivotal component in minimally invasive neurosurgical procedures. While the use of robotic devices in medical operations is advancing, there is still a pressing need to train and equip medical professionals with emerging biomedical developments. Though Virtual reality (VR) has been proven to be a great tool...conference paper 2024

Abkar, Leili (author), Aghili Mehrizi, Amirreza (author), Jafari, Morez (author), Beck, Sara E. (author), Ghassemi, Abbas (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author)Reverse osmosis (RO) systems offer a viable solution for treating brackish water (BW), a common but underutilized water resource. However, the energy-intensive nature of brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) systems poses affordability challenges to water supply, necessitating a focus on minimizing their energy consumption to support SDG6's...journal article 2024

Zaminpardaz, S. (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author)Statistical testing procedures employed in geodetic quality control often consist of two steps: detection and identification. In the detection step, the null hypothesis (working model) ℋ<sub>0</sub> undergoes a validity check. If the outcome of the detection step is the rejection of ℋ<sub>0</sub>, identification of potential source of model...conference paper 2024

Ortiz Moya, Álvaro (author)The identification of time-varying, adaptive behaviour of a human operator in basic manual control tasks is undoubtedly under development since most methodologies only account for time-invariant systems. Previous authors have proved that estimation techniques based on ARX structures can generally identify the HO model parameters. Nonetheless,...master thesis 2023

Yi, Weijia (author)This project develops a channel estimation technique for millimeter wave (mmWave) communication systems. Our method exploits the sparse structure in mmWave channels for low training overhead and accounts for the phase errors in the channel measurements due to phase noise at the oscillator. Specifically, in IEEE 802.11ad/ay-based mmWave systems,...master thesis 2023

Schoenmaker, Eva (author)This thesis is part of a larger ongoing research project at the TU Delft regarding structural glass as a novel construction material. Here, the focus is directed towards the casting of glass to create complex free-form geometries. Thus far, only smaller components have been created, but a multitude of previous student work explored how the...master thesis 2023

Ansems, Nynke (author)Gastroschisis, a congenital abdominal wall defect located to the right of the intact umbilical cord (UC), results in the herniation of fetal abdominal organs into the amniotic cavity without a protective membrane covering these structures. Complex gastroschisis (CG), comprising approximately 10% of cases, is associated with significantly higher...master thesis 2023

Heijs, Floor (author)Background: Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is the predominant form of osteoarthritis, and its incidence is anticipated to rise due to an ageing and increasingly overweight population. Altering the Foot Progression Angle (FPA) has demonstrated potential in mitigating the progression of KOA. Wearable feedback methods, especially those utilising single...master thesis 2023

Ingielewicz, Katarzyna (author)Today, Istanbul’s urban spatial structure has been dominated by three phenomena: informal housing, uncoordinated and uncontrolled urban intensification, and mass housing projects. It stands out particularly in the case of Kayabaşı neighborhood located on Istanbul’s Western periphery. Rigid, orthogonal layout of each group of blocks gives a dose...master thesis 2023

Dullaart, Daan (author)Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has several advantages over conventional surgery, including reduced damage to the body, less pain, lower infection risk, and faster recovery. However, MIS reduces the amount of space in which clinicians can operate within the body. This often forces them to work around delicate anatomical structures. A new type...master thesis 2023

Colin, Flip (author)Flexure mechanisms are widely utilized in precision mechanisms, but their practical use is limited by three major factors, namely restricted range of motion, parasitic motion, and significant reduction in support stiffness when deflected. To address this limitation, in this research the potential of variable thickness flexures in minimizing the...master thesis 2023

Witsen Elias, Julie (author)As connections between customers and suppliers become increasingly complex, the design of transport networks is under growing pressure to achieve efficiency. In response to this challenge, this paper proposes a service network design that takes into account both the forward flows from a production facility to a customer and the returning flows...master thesis 2023

Keur, Hans (author)In biology, phylogenetics is the study of the evolutionary history of and relations between e.g. species. Such data are often represented in trees. Remarkably, trees lack the representation of reticulation events, such as hybridization, while such events are believed to be important. One of the reasons why trees are widely used, is the enormous...master thesis 2023

Rijkeboer, Mats (author)Highly accurate time sources, such as Cesium-based or GPS clocks, are the best candidates to provide a correct notion of time, but are too costly and impractical for implementation in every modern digital device. Ubiquitously, (crystal) oscillators are employed instead. To maintain a shared notion of time, the offsets and drift/jitter have to be...master thesis 2023

Kuschnerus, M. (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), Vos, S.E. (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author)In the view of climate change, understanding and managing effects on coastal areas and adjacent cities is essential. Permanent Laser Scanning (PLS) is a successful technique to not only observe notably sandy coasts incidentally or once every year, but (nearly) continuously over extended periods of time. The collected point cloud observations...journal article 2023
