Bolhuis, Luuk (author)Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are commonly employed in anesthesia to facilitate intubation and improve surgical working conditions. Understanding their pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) is crucial for optimizing their administration. PK describes drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination, while PD links...master thesis 2023

Revelo Obando, B.A. (author), Blacquière, G. (author)The ultimate goal in survey design is to obtain the acquisition parameters that enable acquiring the most affordable data that fulfills certain image quality requirements. We propose a method that allows optimization of the receiver geometry for a fixed source distribution. The former is parameterized with a receiver density function that...journal article 2023

Kontakis, A. (author), Verschuur, D.J. (author)In contrast to conventional acquisition practices, simultaneous source acquisition allows for overlapping wavefields to be recorded. Relaxing the shot schedule in this manner has certain advantages, such as allowing for faster acquisition and/or denser shot sampling. This flexibility usually comes at the cost of an extra step in the...journal article 2023

Andreadis, Kostas (author)The last few years have shown promising developments in single-molecule protein sequencing using a biological nanopore. Using only one membrane pore in a salt buffer, an applied potential creates a measurable ion current through the pore’s constriction. If a small molecule passes through the pore, this disruption is visible as a characteristic...bachelor thesis 2022
