Hagemans, Luca (author)Superoptimization is the idea of creating the most optimal program possible from a given input program. Equality saturation is a method of superoptimization using rewrite rules and e-graphs. A rewrite rule defines a piece of code that can be rewritten as another part while keeping equal behavior. This is added to an e-graph, a data structure...bachelor thesis 2022

van Heteren, Mauries (author)The underwater acoustic environment is amongst the most challenging mediums for wireless communications. The three distinct challenges of underwater acoustic communication are the low and nonuniform propagation speed, frequency-dependent attenuation and time-varying multipath propagation.<br/>To cope with these challenges, physical layer...master thesis 2022

Mézière, Lucas (author)Three decades after the reunification of Germany, the History of a nation standing on the cutting line of a binary world continues to unfold and reveal its complexities. Today, many traits underlying two opposing ideologies persist in reminding the time when East and West Germany followed different paths. The condition of women is one of those....student report 2021

Rezaei, J. (author), Arab, Alireza (author), Mehregan, Mohammadreza (author)One of the most important steps in formulating and solving a multiattribute decision-making (MADM) problem is weighting the attributes. Most existing weighting methods are based on judgments by experts/decision-makers, which are prone to several cognitive biases, making it necessary to examine these biases in MADM weighting methods and...journal article 2021

Eivani, A.R. (author), Mirghasemi, S. M. (author), Seyedein, S. H. (author), Zhou, J. (author), Jafarian, H. R. (author)The present research was aimed at lowering the deformation temperature by applying cover tube casing (CTC) to AZ31 magnesium alloy samples subjected to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) without triggering surface defects and/or fracture. The Cockcroft-Latham (C & L) fracture model was incorporated into finite element simulation and...journal article 2021

Pesch, U. (author)This paper examines the intrinsic relation between institutions and social justice. Its starting point is that processes of institutionalization invoke societal groups to articulate justice demands which, in their turn, give rise to processes of institutional redesign. In liberal democracies, demands for justice are articulated as a pursuit...journal article 2021

Khaleghi, Aaron (author)The consumer lending domain has increasingly leveraged Artificial Intelligence (AI) to make loan approval processes more efficient and to make use of larger amount of information to predict their applicants’ repayment ability. Over time, however, valid concerns have been raised about whether decisions made about individuals using these data...master thesis 2020

Han, Jing (author), Ma, Shengqian (author), Wang, Yujie (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)Orthogonal signal-division multiplexing (OSDM) is an attractive alternative to conventional orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) due to its enhanced ability in peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction. Combining OSDM with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) signaling has the potential to achieve high spectral and power...journal article 2020

Han, Jing (author), Wang, Yujie (author), Gong, Zehui (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)Orthogonal signal-division multiplexing (OSDM) has recently emerged as a promising alternative to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for high-rate wireless communications. Although providing more flexibility in system design, it suffers from a special interference structure, namely inter-vector interference (IVI), when channel...journal article 2020

Novas, María (author), Carreiro Otero, María (author), López González, Cándido (author)TThe remoteness of Galicia, a cultural and linguistic bridge between Portugal and Spain, did not prevent it from playing a significant role in the history of female architects in the Iberian Peninsula. Nine Galician pioneers have carved the path since the first generation of Spanish female architects outlined the precedents during the Second...journal article 2020

Ural, Osman (author)New York is currently going through a construction boom as developers try to take advantage of rising land values and rents caused by economic growth, resulting in a lack of affordable housing available to middle-income families. The current Mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, has made it a priority to meet the demands and challenges of the...master thesis 2019

Han, J. (author), Chepuri, S.P. (author), Zhang, Qunfei (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)Orthogonal signal-division multiplexing (OSDM) is a promising modulation scheme that provides a generalized framework to unify orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and single-carrier frequency-domain equalization. By partitioning each data block into vectors, it allows for a flexible configuration to trade off resource management...journal article 2019

Zhang, Youyou (author), Liu, Yuqing (author), Xin, H. (author), He, Jun (author)Steel-concrete composite high bridge pier has been applied increasingly in China and around the world. Most applied steel type in the composite piers are H-shaped steel and steel pipe, while seldom research or practice is associated with angle steel. This paper conducted parametric study on the composite column with equal-leg angle steel and...journal article 2019

Salman, Salman (author)Traditionally, antenna design involves optimizing the design parameters such as gain, minimum sidelobe level, scan range, half power beamwidth, for a particular application. Since 5G systems are pushing the boundaries for cellular communications by introducing unique challenges such as multiple beam antennas, beamforming etc. in the field of...master thesis 2018

Sijtsma, P. (author), Brouwer, Harry (author)Unequally spaced transducer rings make it possible to extend the range of detectable azimuthal modes. The disadvantage is that the response of the mode detection algorithm to a single mode is distributed over all detectable modes, similarly to the Point Spread Function of Conventional Beamforming with microphone arrays. With multiple modes...journal article 2018

Teixeira, Andre M.H. (author), Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (author)In this paper, the problem of detecting stealthy false-data injection attacks on the measurements is considered. We propose a multiplicative watermarking scheme, where each sensor’s output is individually fed to a SISO watermark generator whose parameters are supposed to be unknown to the adversary. Under such a scenario, the detectability...conference paper 2018

Onencan, A.M. (author), van de Walle, B.A. (author)Equitable and reasonable utilization is a core principle in the distribution of water resources. However, its practical application in the Nile Basin has been a significant challenge, leading to a water allocation deadlock. To address the deadlock, we used the van Eeten (1999) four-step process for defining new agendas. To reconstruct the debate...journal article 2018
