Valkenburg, Bo (author)Building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) façade systems introduce high-voltage ignition sources, carrying DC currents up to 1000 V, directly into façade structures, a hazard unprecedented in conventional façades. Despite this, the regulatory framework in the Netherlands falls short in adequately addressing the fire safety risks posed by BIPV...master thesis 2024

van Dillen, Bob (author)The introduction of Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) is set to change the operation on all levels of Air Traffic Control (ATC), including aerodrome control. Here, adherence to a planned four-dimensional trajectory is important to achieve a stable operation. At the same time, this concept provides possibilities for support tools to be used in...master thesis 2024

Nanhekhan, Kevin (author)Amidst the rampant spread of misinformation, fact-checking of diverse claims made on the internet has become a pertinent task to mitigate this problem. Manual fact-checking cannot scale up with this demand and is very cumbersome, therefore instead automated fact-checking can be used. However, existing work has primarily focused on the fact...master thesis 2024

Sewnath, Madevi (author)To reduce global warming the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) must be net zero in 2050, Paris agreement. In the Netherlands the building sector is responsible for 38% of total GHG emissions, 27% being operational carbon (related to energy use) and 11% embodied carbon (related to the use of materials). A large portion of the GHG emissions in...master thesis 2024

(author)Surgeons performing robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery experience physical stress and overuse of shoulder muscles due to sub-optimal arm support during surgery. The objective is to present a novel design and prototype of a dynamic arm support for robotic laparoscopic surgery to evaluate its ergonomics and performance on the AdLap-VR...journal article 2024

Groeneboom, P. (author)We analyze nonparametric estimators for the distribution function of the incubation time in the singly and doubly interval censoring model. The classical approach is to use parametric families like Weibull, log-normal or gamma distributions in the estimation procedure. We propose nonparametric estimates for functions of the observations,...journal article 2024

Mioch, T. (author), Aldewereld, Huib (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Artificial Intelligence systems are more and more being introduced into first response; however, this introduction needs to be done responsibly. While generic claims on what this entails already exist, more details are required to understand the exact nature of responsible application of AI within the first response domain. The context in which...conference paper 2024

Theodosiou, A. (author), López-Dekker, Paco (author)Assessing the performance of interferometers and processing interferograms require accurate knowledge of the temporal lag, sensitivity, and spectral shift. While these parameters are well-defined for conventional interferometric configurations, their definition becomes opaque for complex configurations, such as bistatic systems with formation...journal article 2024

Erlei, Alexander (author), Sharma, Abhinav (author), Gadiraju, Ujwal (author)The ability to make appropriate delegation decisions is an important prerequisite of effective human-AI collaboration. Recent work, however, has shown that people struggle to evaluate AI systems in the presence of forecasting errors, falling well short of relying on AI systems appropriately. We use a pre-registered crowdsourcing study (N =...conference paper 2024

Kim, Dajung (author), Vegt, N.J.H. (author), Visch, V.T. (author), Bos-de Vos, M. (author)Despite the growing potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in improving clinical decision making, patients' perspectives on the use of AI for their care decision making are underexplored. In this paper, we investigate patients' preferences towards the autonomy of AI in assisting healthcare decision making. We conducted interviews and an...conference paper 2024

Aulbers, Justus (author)In response to the European Commission's initiative to shift freight transport from road to inland waterways, there is a need to expand the capacity of inland ports to accommodate larger cargo ships. This expansion requires lowering the water bottom, which will increase the forces exerted on the quay walls. The quay walls should therefore be...master thesis 2023

Timmermans, Koen (author)Airports and airlines are examining and committing to the electrification of Ground Support Equipment (GSE). To be able to estimate the required quantity of eGSE, the charging requirements of eGSE, the change of airport electricity requirements, and the scheduling possibilities of eGSE charging for the existing turnaround procedures, a model was...master thesis 2023

Huijsmans, Tom (author)The exploration of compliant mechanisms, especially those providing linear motion, has become a central focus in recent engineering research. These mechanisms, characterized by their monolithic bodies and reduced component interactions, present an attractive alternative to traditional rigid mechanisms, having reduced friction, decreased energy...master thesis 2023

de Blok, Layla (author)Grief is a complex experience without a specific endpoint. It follows a unique path for each person. Many support sources are available, but finding support that fits is difficult. This inspired Verening Leven met Dood to develop the Rouw Wegwijzer, an online platform that provides personalised grief support. The focus of this thesis is to...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
