de Goeje, Ludo (author)This document reports the exploration of the development of a context-specific strip reader for an innovative lateral flow test detecting schistosomiasis. Schistosomiasis is a common poverty-related parasitic disease in many Sub-Saharan African countries. Transmission happens in infested water, putting especially children at risk....master thesis 2021

Yiğit, Erkut (author)In order to ensure safety and prevent collisions on road, automotive radars must be fault proof and have to be tested on reliability and performance, which requires proper diagnostic of well-functioning of the radar so that the car may participate to traffic. One way of the diagnostic of well-functioning of the automotive radar is by means of...master thesis 2021

Griffioen, Nathan (author)In this M.Sc. thesis project a model is developed and validated that simulates the coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) signal of CO<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> in the spectral region between 1250cm<sup>-1</sup> and 1680cm<sup>-1</sup>. The aim is to perform temperature and concentration measurements in a typical hydrocarbon-air...master thesis 2021

Bengtson, M.L. (author)The aim of this thesis was to develop a DNA-detection scheme for a point-of-care diagnostic test for Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) for use within resource-limited settings. The scientific innovation is to develop an adaptable DNA-detection scheme, using CRISPR-dCas9 (catalytically inactive Cas9), that can detect the DNA of any pathogen in...doctoral thesis 2021

Zarouchas, D. (author), van Diën, C.C.J. (author), Eleftheroglou, N. (author)This paper presents the results for an experimental campaign of in-situ impact during tension-tension fatigue loading for open-hole carbon fibre reinforced polymer specimens. High-speed low energy impact was introduced to the specimen with the use of a canon, which was attached to testing bench enabling the impact without the need to remove...journal article 2021

Broer, Agnes A.R. (author), Galanopoulos, Georgios (author), Benedictus, R. (author), Loutas, Theodoros (author), Zarouchas, D. (author)Conducting damage diagnostics on stiffened panels is commonly performed using a single SHM technique. However, each SHM technique has both its strengths and limitations. Rather than straining the expansion of single SHM techniques going beyond their intrinsic capacities, these strengths and limitations should instead be considered in their...journal article 2021

Mohammed, Safa A. (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author), Hamouda, Mohamed A. (author)Many calibrated hydrological models are inconsistent with the behavioral functions of catchments and do not fully represent the catchments’ underlying processes despite their seemingly adequate performance, if measured by traditional statistical error metrics. Using such metrics for calibration is hindered if only short-term data are...journal article 2021

Klyukin, Dmitry (author), Mazza, F. (author), Castellanos, Leonardo (author), Bohlin, G.A. (author)Cascaded coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) signals can be efficiently generated from CARS signals when propagating collinearly with the pump/Stokes and probe beams. This effect can be seen as the CARS beam acting as the probe beam and being inelastically scattered a ‘second time’ from the Raman coherence induced along the focus of...journal article 2021

Sluiter, Merlijn (author)Urinary schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by the Schistosoma haematobium parasite. People can get infected when they get into contact with contaminated fresh water. The disease is most prevalent amongst children, farmers and rural communities in Sub-Saharan Africa. Currently, the disease is diagnosed by microscopic egg count...master thesis 2020

Agbana, T.E. (author)Malaria remains an important cause of high morbidity and mortality worldwide. According to World Health Organisation (WHO) malaria report for 2017, malaria accounted for the death of 435,000 people. It is the leading cause of death among pregnant women and little children. 11% of maternal and 20% of under–five deaths are attributed to malaria...doctoral thesis 2020

Jujjavarapu, Satyajith (author)Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) that affects around a quarter-billion people worldwide. Most of the infected people live in tropical regions, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, where there is limited access to diagnostic and other relevant medical facilities. The current reference standard diagnostic procedure - conventional...master thesis 2020

(author)Background: Schistosomiasis, one of the neglected tropical diseases, is a water-based parasitic disease of public health importance. Currently, tests for Schistosoma haematobium infection either demonstrate poor specificity, are expensive or too laborious for use in endemic countries, creating a need for more sensitive, cheaper, and easy to use...journal article 2020

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) would be the preferred diagnostic method for infant hydrocephaleus. However, in practice, MRI is seldom used in sub-Saharan Africa due to its high prize, low mobility, and...conference paper 2020
