(author), van Beusekom, Heleen M.M. (author), van Soest, G. (author)Coronary atherosclerosis is caused by plaque build-up, with lipids playing a pivotal role in its progression. However, lipid composition and distribution within coronary atherosclerosis remain unknown. This study aims to characterize lipids and investigate differences in lipid composition across disease stages to aid in the understanding of...journal article 2024

(author), Rutter, Guy A. (author), Ibberson, Mark (author)Aims/hypothesis: People with type 2 diabetes are heterogeneous in their disease trajectory, with some progressing more quickly to insulin initiation than others. Although classical biomarkers such as age, HbA<sub>1c</sub> and diabetes duration are associated with glycaemic progression, it is unclear how well such variables predict insulin...journal article 2024

(author), Vilanova, Anna (author), Höllt, T. (author), Lelieveldt, B.P.F. (author)Exploration and analysis of high-dimensional data are important tasks in many fields that produce large and complex data, like the financial sector, systems biology, or cultural heritage. Tailor-made visual analytics software is developed for each specific application, limiting their applicability in other fields. However, as diverse as these...journal article 2024

Liu, Yanjing (author)Background: <br/>Ischemic stroke is a major cause of death worldwide. Atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries is an established predictor of these events. FSI shows its advantage in simulating the hemodynamic environments due to involving the multiphysics coupling of fluid dynamics and structural mechanics regulations. Therefore, the aim of this...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

de Boer, Frans (author)In this paper, we investigate the behaviour of current progress prediction methods on the currently used benchmark datasets. We show that the progress prediction methods can fail to extract useful information from visual data on these datasets. Moreover, when the methods fail to extract visual information, memory-based methods adopt a frame...master thesis 2023

Ahmed, Junaid (author)The use of Glass Fibre-Reinforced Polymer as a building material in structures or structural components is on the rise. Standards such as CUR96, DNV and JRC provide a basis of design with the material. However, there is a lack of confidence in the design phase with structures made of Glass Fibre-Reinforced Polymer, resulting in the use of large...master thesis 2023

Găleşanu, Matei (author)Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and their adaptations are known to be computationally intensive during both the training and the evaluating stages. Despite being the end goal, directly rendering a full-resolution representation of the scene is not necessary and not very practical for scenarios like streamed applications. Our goal is to design a...bachelor thesis 2023

Manoli, Calin (author)Machine Learning (ML) is a rapidly growing field, therefore ensuring that students deeply understand such concepts is of key importance in order to certify that they are prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the future workforce. Despite this, literature on teaching ML and assessing students' understanding with regard to this field is...bachelor thesis 2023

Quataert, Lies (author)Background: Ischemic stroke is a major cause of death worldwide. Atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries is an established predictor of these events. Ideally, patient-specific prevention plans can be developed that target advanced plaque development prior to events. Morphometry of advanced calcified plaque phenotypes can be assessed through...master thesis 2023

(author), Huang, Jianhua (author)Cement-based columns in combination with geosynthetic reinforcement is a well-established soft ground improvement technique to enhance embankment stability. This paper aims to present a finite-element (FE) study based on a case history of a geosynthetic-reinforced column-supported (GRCS) embankment over soft soil. In this study, the columns...journal article 2023

de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Dodou, D. (author), Eisma, Y.B. (author)Raven matrices are widely considered a pure test of cognitive abilities. Previous research has examined the extent to which cognitive strategies are predictive of the number of correct responses to Raven items. This study examined whether response times can be explained directly from the centrality and visual complexity of the matrix cells ...journal article 2023

Hofman, P. (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author)In this work, a recently proposed high-cycle fatigue cohesive zone model, which covers crack initiation and propagation with limited input parameters, is embedded in a robust and efficient numerical framework for simulating progressive failure in composite laminates under fatigue loading. The fatigue cohesive zone model is enhanced with an...journal article 2023

Tijs, B.H.A.H. (author), Dávila, C. G. (author), Turon, A. (author), Bisagni, C. (author)The work presented in this paper investigates the ability of continuum damage models to accurately predict matrix failure and ply splitting. Two continuum damage model approaches are implemented that use different stress–strain measures. The first approach is based on small-strain increments and the Cauchy stress, while the second approach...journal article 2023

Đào, Tan (author)Spectral Monte-Carlo rendering can simulate advanced light phenomena (e.g., dispersion, caustics, or iridescence), but require significantly more samples compared to trichromatic rendering to obtain noise-free images. Therefore, its progressive variant typically exhibits an extreme amount of chromatic noise in early renders. To that end, we...bachelor thesis 2022
