van Rooijen, Thom (author)Various source localization algorithms exist to perform localization with High Density (HD)-ElectroEncephaloGraphy (EEG). However, validation of these EEG source localization algorithms is lacking. The current gold standard for source localization in the brain is functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) by calculating the difference in...master thesis 2023

Keur, Hans (author)In biology, phylogenetics is the study of the evolutionary history of and relations between e.g. species. Such data are often represented in trees. Remarkably, trees lack the representation of reticulation events, such as hybridization, while such events are believed to be important. One of the reasons why trees are widely used, is the enormous...master thesis 2023

Wolffenbuttel, R.F. (author), Ghaderi, M. Amir (author)Metasurface coatings on a free-standing SiN thin film membrane are fabricated on a Si substrate using masked lithography and CMOS-compatible surface micromachining. The result is a band-limited absorber for the mid-IR, which is part of a microstructure that is attached to the substrate by long and slender suspension beams to provide thermal...journal article 2023

van de Kaa, G. (author)The paper provides an overview of determinants for the adoption of standards; a topic on which little research has been done so far. An extensive review and systematic analysis was conducted of the papers that have published on the topic. This resulted in a framework with 18 factors for the adoption of standards divided into 5 categories. A...review 2023

Sattari, R. (author), van Zeijl, H.W. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)This study presents the design and fabrication of an in-package relative humidity sensor for epoxy molding compound (EMC) packages. The sensor comprises shielded interdigital electrodes (SIDE) for in-situ monitoring of humidity absorption/desorption in the package encapsulation layer. A novel approach is employed in the device fabrication to...conference paper 2023

Keshani, M. (author), Vos, Simcha (author), Proksch, S. (author)Software reuse is a common practice in modern software engineering to save time and energy while accelerating software delivery. Dependency managers like MAVEN offer a large ecosystem of reusable libraries that build the backbone of software reuse. Breaking changes, i.e., when an update to a library introduces incompatible changes that break...journal article 2023

Vos, Simcha (author)In this paper, we investigate whether developers of artifacts on Maven Central adhere to semantic versioning. We also investigate whether there is a link between violations in semantic versioning and the popularity of the violating method. Developers can violate semantic versioning by removing or altering methods in their API, which we refer to...bachelor thesis 2022

Mier Escurra, G.A. (author)The Pulsed Electro Acoustic Method (PEA) is a widely used method for the measurement of space charges in High Voltage (HV) dielectrics. This thesis aims to contribute to the optimization of the PEA method by being able to make measurements from different test setups comparable and enhance the reliability of the results interpretation. This work...doctoral thesis 2022

(author), De With, Peter H.N. (author)Background: Neurosurgical procedures are complex and require years of training and experience. Traditional training on human cadavers is expensive, requires facilities and planning, and raises ethical concerns. Therefore, the use of anthropomorphic phantoms could be an excellent substitute. The aim of the study was to design and develop a...journal article 2022

Fernández Canteli, A. (author), Castillo, E. (author), Blasón, S. (author), Correia, J.A.F.O. (author), de Jesus, A. M.P. (author)In this work, three classes of fatigue models are reviewed according to the fatigue regimes commonly considered in the current components design. Particular attention is devoted to the so-called Class III fatigue models, covering the three fatigue regimes, namely, LCF, HCF and VHCF. The applicability and limitations of the proposed analytical...journal article 2022

Wolffenbuttel, R.F. (author), Ghaderi, M. (author)The use of masked UV (i-line) lithography in a MEMS foundry for CMOS-compatible fabrication of large-area metasurface-based absorbers for the mid-infrared is demonstrated. The challenges are in: (a) the limited number of acceptable metals, (b) the thickness tolerance of the layers used in the CMOS process, and (c) the imaging capabilities of...journal article 2022

Walrave, Niels (author)In the Netherlands the design condition for a dike is surmised to occur during winter where it is assumed that the dike is fully saturated. Preliminary results by Van Duinen (2020) indicate that suction remains present, albeit ever decreasing, during the winter. This means that it would be possible for a dike to dry out during the summer period...master thesis 2021
