Çirak, Cansu (author)The demand for wind energy has led to the need for larger offshore wind turbines, which require larger monopiles for support. Vibratory pile driving is a common technique for installing these monopiles, but current engineering models are designed for smaller diameter monopiles and may not be applicable to larger ones. Additionally, the vibratory...master thesis 2023

SUN, Hanchu (author)Surveillance cameras have become increasingly prevalent in public areas worldwide, including in Amsterdam. In Amsterdam, the number and intensity of surveillance cameras in public spaces, such as streets, parks, and plazas, have reportedly increased, even in locations where they were already well-established. In addition to the growing number of...master thesis 2023

Weeda, Ylva (author)Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms with a worldwide incidence of one or two per 100,000. The tumours affect the entire gastrointestinal tract, but most commonly the stomach and small intestine. Neoadjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are administered in a selection of GIST patients to attain size...master thesis 2023

Bruggeman, Kevin (author)Friction damping is common in engineering structures for the purpose of energy dissipation and vibration control. Examples of applications are bolted connections and earthquake isolation systems. However, there is a shortage of works that investigate the effects of different contact materials on the energy dissipation performance and friction...master thesis 2023

Mourragui, S.M.C. (author)Extensive efforts in cancer research over the past decades have markedly improved diagnosis and treatments, leading to better outcomes for cancer patients. Paradoxically, however, these discoveries have begun to shed light on a level of complexity that rules out the emergence of a universal cancer treatment. As any tumor is now known to be...doctoral thesis 2023

Sonck, M.M. (author)This doctoral thesis investigates the concept of responsibility in the setting of industrial research and innovation (R&I). Companies have multiple responsibilities in society: profit generation for shareowners, legal and contractual liabilities, as well as socially and morally binding obligations beyond legal compliance. These...doctoral thesis 2023

Flipse, Delano (author)The placement of a subwoofer has significant impact on the quality of its sound reproduction. This paper present a method to optimise subwoofer placement in a room. Resonances caused by room boundaries (called "room modes") cause localised peaks and lows for specific lower frequencies. The goal is to minimize the simulated frequency response...bachelor thesis 2023

Azimullah, Joshua (author)A novel approach for determining the optimal location of a sound source within an acoustic environment is proposed. This approach involves the application of Importance Sampling to improve the efficiency of the existing method of acoustic ray-tracing for finding the frequency response at various listening locations. The results of this study do...bachelor thesis 2023

Jain, Uday (author)A large share of the buildings today is still masonry buildings, both reinforced and unreinforced. Post-earthquake reconnaissance studies have shown a remarkable difference between the performance of reinforced and unreinforced masonry buildings. While the unreinforced masonry buildings tend to suffer severe damage, even collapse, resulting in...student report 2023

Martorelli, Luca (author)The use of CFD-based optimizations is becoming a standard for turbomachinery design. Although the use of such optimizations can lead to great improvements of the machine performances, there are still several shortcomings in the common design procedure of turbomachines. In fact, this entails the optimization of the component shape, and only a...master thesis 2023

Swart, J.A.A. (author), van de Poel, I.R. (author)Hybrid potato breeding is an emerging technology that can have a strong impact on the potato sector by replacing seed potatoes with true seeds. The Netherlands is a world leader in certified seed potatoes and a number of Dutch companies play a pivotal role in the development of this technology. This implies a certain responsibility for the...book chapter 2023

Fraaije, A. (author), van der Meij, Marjoleine G. (author), Vermeeren, A.P.O.S. (author), Kupper, Frank (author), Broerse, Jacqueline E.W. (author)The ‘smart city’ vision is popular, but it lacks citizen perspectives. The aim of this study was to gain insight into whether and how art-based citizen engagement can create more room for citizen perspectives in smart cities by developing and testing an art-based citizen engagement project in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. To that end, a...journal article 2023

(author), van Strijp, Jos A.G. (author), Weinans, Harrie (author), Amin Yavari, Saber (author)Background: Despite the extensive use of silver ions or nanoparticles in research related to preventing implant-associated infections (IAI), their use in clinical practice has been debated. This is because the strong antibacterial properties of silver are counterbalanced by adverse effects on host cells. One of the reasons for this may be the...journal article 2023

Bayraktaroglu, H. (author), Gonzalez Acosta, J.L. (author), van den Eijnden, A.P. (author), Korff, M. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author)Natural soil deposits may possess a highly anisotropic nature. The fabric anisotropy of soils which is induced during the soil formation process can lead to severe variation in field scale responses. Although the influence of fabric on the response of sands is well known and several advanced constitutive models have been developed to account for...conference paper 2023

Gonzalez Acosta, J.L. (author), Varkey, D. (author), van den Eijnden, A.P. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author)Free-field site response analysis is a standard technique used to predict soil deposit dynamic response and liquefaction susceptibility. Such analyses are typically carried out by implementing periodic boundaries to guarantee the same speed of the dynamic waves travelling across them. However, when using random fields to consider the impact of...conference paper 2023
