Dziarnowska, Weronika (author)
Researchers have been interested in studying the connection between emotion and memory for decades but much remains unknown due to the elusive nature of the human brain. Furthering our understanding of the phenomenon is crucial for improving the treatment of neurological disorders associated with emotion dysregulation, as well as for enhancing...

Bziker, Farah (author)
Traditionally, the control point (CP) of a dynamically positioned vessel is located around its center of gravity (CoG). However, during offshore operations, other locations, such as the crane tip or gripper position, become more critical due to the load being located there. This thesis proposes shifting the control point from the CoG to an...

Many people consider analog electronic circuit design complex. This is because designers can achieve the desired performance of a circuit in many ways. Together, theoretical concepts, circuit topologies, electronic devices, their operating conditions, and the system's physical construction constitute an enormous design space in which it is easy...

Kieboom, Bart (author)
This thesis considers the problem of nonlinear output regulation in a Koopman operator framework. The goal of output regulation is to asymptotically track a reference and/or simultaneously reject a disturbance signal, both generated by some external autonomous system called the exosystem. The nonlinear output regulation problem is solvable if...

A new generation of intelligent Traffic Light Controllers uses Model Predictive Control to minimise delay at signalised intersections. The conventional cycle of set sequences of green phases is dropped for optimisation purposes. This research uses the ethical theories utilitarianism, egalitarianism, sufficientarianism & deontology to define...

We study the long time behaviour of a large class of diffusion processes on R<sup>N</sup>, generated by second order differential operators of (possibly) degenerate type. The operators that we consider need not satisfy the Hörmander Condition (HC). Instead, they satisfy the so-called UFG condition, introduced by Herman, Lobry and Sussman in...

We study the well-posedness of Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equations on subsets of R<sup>d</sup> in a context without boundary conditions. The Hamiltonian is given as the supremum over two parts: an internal Hamiltonian depending on an external control variable and a cost functional penalizing the control. The key feature in this paper is that...

The prevention, mitigation and treatment of movement impairments, ideally, requires early diagnosis or identification. As the human movement system has physiological and functional redundancy, movement limitations do not promptly arise at the onset of physical decline. A such, prediction of movement limitations is complex: it is unclear how...

Attitude estimation is one of the basic processes of the attitude and orbit control system hosted by every satellite. The spacecraft should be orientated properly during the orbit, according to the mission objectives. The estimation is based on a plethora of sensors, like rate gyroscopes, star trackers, sun and earth sensors, magnetometers (for...

The past decade has seen a continuous increase of Earth observation missions, since they are regarded as an important tool to address global problems such as climate change or disaster mitigation. A commercial trend exists now towards higher resolution imagery, which drives the use of agile satellites. Nevertheless, a disadvantage of agile...

Novel driver support systems potentially enhance road safety by cooperating with the human driver. To optimize the design of emerging steering support systems, a profound understanding of driver steering behavior is required. This article proposes a new theory of driver steering, which unifies visual perception and control models. The theory...

The most common operational measure in aviation to reduce the effect of environmental noise pollution is noise abatement procedures. Noise abatement procedures are recommended flying techniques based on noise optimal trajectories, which aim at reducing the noise impact on local communities as much as possible. Atmospheric...

In the year 2050, global anthropogenic radiative forcing from aircraft emissions are projected to increase significantly. Recent studies have considered climate optimized flight trajectories to be a promising measure to mitigate non-CO2 emissions’ environmental impact, which is highly sensitive to locus and time of emissions. Estimating the...

A new framework is presented for estimation and control of instabilities in wall-bounded shear flows described by the linearised Navier-Stokes equations. The control design considers the use of localised actuators/sensors to account for convective instabilities in an optimal control framework. External sources of disturbances are assumed to...

This paper investigates the closed-loop dynamics of the Tapping Mode Atomic Force Microscopy using a new mathematical model based on the averaging method in Cartesian coordinates. Experimental and numerical observations show that the emergence of chaos in conventional tapping mode AFM strictly limits the imaging speed. We show that, if the...

The role of task prioritization in performance tradeoffs during multi-tasking has received widespread attention. However, little is known on whether people have preferences regarding tasks, and if so, whether these preferences conflict with priority instructions. Three experiments were conducted with a high-speed driving game and an auditory...

In order to improve the usage efficiency of the road network, this research investigates and proposes an approach for a traffic management solution called Online Anticipatory Network Management. The proposed traffic management solution aims to redistribute traffic flows and to increase network performance by determining and applying traffic...

Systems in real-life have to deal with uncertainty in such a manner that a high level of performance is guaranteed under all conditions. The objective in this thesis is to obtain robust strategies that provide an upper bound (worst-case) on the performance of an uncertain system against all allowable disturbances and uncertainties. Semi-definite...

De Jong, J.W. (author)
In this thesis a problem of determining the optimal pacing strategy to minimize travel time is considered. The problem is restricted to a straight race track with constant slope and rolling resistance, and no headwind. It is expressed as an optimal control problem that can be solved using Pontryagin's Maximum Principle. The control variable is...

When large amounts of electricity need to be transported for long distances, or when underground or submarine cables are involved, using direct current high-voltage transmission systems is more efficient and cost effective than using traditional high-voltage alternating current transmission. Therefore, the main thesis objective is to study to...
