(author)Designing new and inclusive diagnostic tools to detect Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) to achieve rational disease control requires a co-design process where end-users’ input is important. Failure to involve all potential end-users in new diagnostics for NTDs can result in low use and adoption failure, leading to persistent infection hot...journal article 2023

Hierarchical Upscaling of Data-Driven Damage Diagnostics for Stiffened Composite Aircraft StructuresBroer, Agnes A.R. (author), Yue, N. (author), Galanopoulos, Georgios (author), Benedictus, R. (author), Loutas, Theodoros (author), Zarouchas, D. (author)To move towards a condition-based maintenance practice for aircraft structures, design of reliable health management methodologies is required. Development of diagnostic methodologies is commonly realised on simplified sample structures with assumptions that methodologies can be adapted for application to realistic aircraft structures under...conference paper 2023

(author)Background: Upper limb impairments in a hemiparetic arm are clinically quantified by well-established clinical scales, known to suffer poor validity, reliability, and sensitivity. Alternatively, robotics can assess motor impairments by characterizing joint dynamics through system identification. In this study, we establish the merits of...journal article 2023

Thornquist, Ona (author)With the onset of climate change it is crucial to eliminate emissions, particularly for aviation reliant on gas turbine combustion. Computational models aid combustor improvement, but experimental data needed for validation is difficult to obtain. Fortunately, laser diagnostics can now achieve non-intrusive, high-resolution combustion...master thesis 2022

de Bruin, Bram (author)Over the years, aero engines have evolved into the efficient turbofans present on commercial airliners today. Although these engines are very reliable, they still experience degradations in performance and reductions in component health. The degradation affects the operation of the engine, which can be measured using the pressure, temperature,...master thesis 2022

Eikelenboom, Ivan (author)Nectlected Tropical diseases (NTDs) is a designation of a group of 20 different (often parasitic) diseases. These are mostly prevalent in tropical areas like Nigeria and Gabon, affecting the health of the poor remote communities significantly. <br/><br/>Current diagnosis is done by manual microscopy. This is too expensive and not time and cost...master thesis 2022

Tijhuis, Koen (author)AiDx Medical is a medical start-up, a spin-off from the TUD, which Temitope Agbana currently leads. AiDx is developing an automated diagnostic device for emerging markets: the AiDx assist. AiDx has chosen Nigeria for the first market introduction since Temitope has his prime partners there. The idea for creating the start-up started with...master thesis 2022

Ciolini, Matteo (author)The plasma behaviour in an air-propelled Hall thruster (SITAEL HT5k) is investigated by means of numerical modelling and experimental measurements. The air plasma employed (nitrogen/oxygen mixture) is firstly chemically characterized, identifying the most relevant species produced: four neutrals (N<sub>2</sub>, N, O<sub>2</sub>, O), four...master thesis 2022

Vlachogiannakis, G. (author)Abundant research reported in the literature has indicated that broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS), i.e., the measurement of material permittivity versus frequency, can serve a broad range of applications, including, but not limited to, biomedical, food, automotive, and agricultural industries. Adopting this technique in real-life...doctoral thesis 2022

Bagbaba, Ahmet Cagri (author), Augusto da Silva, F. (author), Sonza Reorda, Matteo (author), Hamdioui, S. (author), Jenihhin, Maksim (author), Sauer, Christian (author)ISO 26262 requires classifying random hardware faults based on their effects (safe, detected, or undetected) within integrated circuits used in automobiles. In general, this classification is addressed using expert judgment and a combination of tools. However, the growth of integrated circuit complexity creates a huge fault space; hence, this...journal article 2022

Adla, Soham (author), Gupta, Surya (author), Karumanchi, Sri Harsha (author), Tripathi, Shivam (author), Disse, Markus (author), Pande, S. (author)Low technology adoption through agricultural extension may be a consequence of providing generic information without sufficient adaptation to local conditions. Data-rich paradigms may be disruptive to extension services and can potentially change farmer-advisor interactions. This study fills a gap in pre-existing, generic advisory programs by...journal article 2022

(author), Wallace, Vincent (author), Taylor, Zachary D. (author)A system concept for online alignment verification of millimeter-wave, corneal reflectometry is presented. The system utilizes beam scanning to generate magnitude-only reflectivity maps of the cornea at 650 GHz and compares these images to a precomputed/measured template map to confirm/reject sufficient alignment. A system utilizing five off...journal article 2022

Wang, Z. (author), Meijer, A. (author), Itard, L.C.M. (author)In practice, automated energy performance fault diagnosis systems are seldom installed in HVAC systems. The main reason is that a specific Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) setup is time-consuming and expensive because the existing methods are component-specific, not aligned with HVAC design practices, and not fully automated. 4S3F (four...conference paper 2022

Dash, A. (author), Poelma, C. (author)We revisit the laminar–turbulent transition of a fine-grained slurry in a large pipe. The combination of long measurement times in an industrial-scale facility and ultrasound imaging allows us to observe and address anomalous trends. Under turbulent conditions, the flow is homogeneous and steady. However, under laminar conditions, two types of...journal article 2022
