Adaptations for CNN-LSTM Network for Remaining Useful Life Prediction: Adaptable Time Window and Sub-Network Training

Estimating the RUL (Remaining Useful Life) of machinery is a useful tool for maintenance and performance operations. This results in lower costs, improved safety and operational improvements.<br/>This paper proposes two adaptations to the CNN-LSTM network provided by Li et al. \cite{Li2019APrediction}, as well as exploring reproducibility,...

The efficient pricing of CMS and CMS spread derivatives

Two popular products on the interest rate market are Constant Maturity Swap (CMS) derivatives and CMS spread derivatives. This thesis focusses on the efficient pricing of CMS and CMS spread derivatives, in particular the pricing of CMS and CMS spread options. The notional values for these products are usually quite large, so even small errors...

De beste uitval in heren floret vanuit een wiskundig perspectief

Het schermen is een vrij onbekende sport ondanks zijn olympische status. De sport bestaat al geruime tijd en desondanks is er in deze sport weinig wetenschappelijk onderzoek gedaan. Een discussie die zeer actueel is, is wat nu de beste uitvalstechniek in Heren Floret is. De uitval is de meest gebruikte aanvalsactie in het hedendaagse schermen....

Muscle parameters for musculoskeletal modelling of the human neck

This study presents a consistent anatomical dataset, containing the musculoskeletal geometry (muscle attachment sites, fibre length, tendon length, bony landmarks) and muscle contraction parameters (physiological cross sectional area, optimal fibre length) of the complete neck musculature. A dissection experiment was performed on the left side...
