Shrestha, S. (author), Dekker, J. (author), Gerritsma, M.I. (author), Hulshoff, S.J. (author), Akkerman, I. (author)In this paper, we build on the work of Hughes and Sangalli (2007) dealing with the explicit computation of the Fine-Scale Greens’ function. The original approach chooses a set of functionals associated with a projector to compute the Fine-Scale Greens’ function. The construction of these functionals, however, does not generalise to arbitrary...journal article 2024

Besseling, Roos (author)This study investigates the capacity of an open inverted filter to stabilize the interface between the sand fill and core fill in a rubble mound breakwater. The strength of this filter relies on the arching mechanism of the base material, which is directly influenced by factors such as stability ratio and effective stresses. These forces arise...master thesis 2023

Akraa, Khaled (author)The increasing demand for sand in the construction sector underscores the need for sustainable alternatives to natural sand. This bachelor's thesis explores the application of Fine Recycled Concrete Aggregate (fRCA) produced by Heating air and classification system (HAS) from the Concrete To Cement and Aggregate (C2CA) technology as a...bachelor thesis 2023

Baars, T.F. (author)Alluvial deposits in the subsurface are essential for geo-energy production and storage in many regions worldwide. Accurate correlation and characterisation of alluvial stratigraphy requires an understanding of how river channels were spatially deposited, and which geomorphological processes acted upon them. This doctoral dissertation the...doctoral thesis 2023

Voloshyn, Sviatoslav (author)This work addresses visual localization of intelligent vehicles as an alternative to traditional GPS- of HD map-based localization options. Specifically, the problem of Cross-View Pose Estimation (CVPE) is explored, which involves estimating the vehicle pose within an encompassing aerial patch, given a ground image from the on-board camera feed....master thesis 2023

de Jong, Lauran (author)Soil liquefaction is a phenomenon in which an otherwise stiff, loosely packed, cohesionless soil loses its strength and behaves behaves like a viscous liquid in response to a change in stress conditions. This study focuses on liquefaction under monotonic load (i.e. static liquefaction) and not cyclic liquefaction. While the role of state...master thesis 2023

van Maren, D.S. (author), Beemster, J. G.W. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Khan, Z. H. (author), Schrijvershof, R. A. (author), Hoitink, A. J.F. (author)At a global scale, intertidal areas are being reclaimed for agriculture as well as urban expansion, imposing high human pressure on the coastal zone. The Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta (GBD) is an exponent of this development. In this delta, land reclamation accelerated in the 1960's to 1980's, when polders were constructed in areas subject to...journal article 2023

Mir, S.A.M. (author), Keshani, M. (author), Proksch, S. (author)Reusing software libraries is a pillar of modern software engineering. In 2022, the average Java application depends on 40 third-party libraries. Relying on such libraries exposes a project to potential vulnerabilities and may put an application and its users at risk. Unfortunately, research on software ecosystems has shown that the number of...conference paper 2023

Matusovic, Marko (author), Parakkat, Amal Dev (author), Eisemann, E. (author)We introduce an approach for converting pixel art into high-quality vector images. While much progress has been made on automatic conversion, there is an inherent ambiguity in pixel art, which can lead to a mismatch with the artist's original intent. Further, there is room for incorporating aesthetic preferences during the conversion. In...journal article 2023

de Schipper, Lisette (author)In the Netherlands, a substantial burden of morbidity and mortality persists for cardiovascular diseases in women. Despite this, the reduction of cardiovascular diseases in women has plateaued. This is against the backdrop of an ageing population and the prevalence of sedentary and unhealthy lifestyles.<br/>This research presents a novel model...master thesis 2022

Lyu, Haozheng (author)Fine sieved fraction (FSF) is a solid waste generated from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Cellulose fiber is the most important component of FSF, which can be fermented into volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and then be used as carbon sources in biological nutrient removal (BNR). This thesis measured and evaluated the aerobic & anaerobic...master thesis 2022

van der Toorn, Jules (author)Multimodal imaging is used by conservators and scientists to study the composition of paintings. To aid the combined analysis of these scans, such images must first be aligned. Rather than proposing a new domain-specific descriptor, we explore and evaluate how existing feature descriptors from related fields can improve the performance of...bachelor thesis 2022

Zhang, Yuanyuan (author)Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems have seen substantial improvements in the past decade; however, not for all speaker groups. Recent research shows that bias exists against different types of speech, including non-native accents, in state-of-the-art (SOTA) ASR systems. To attain inclusive speech recognition, i.e., ASR for everyone...master thesis 2022

Coudert-Osmont, Yoann (author), Eisemann, E. (author), Marroquim, Ricardo (author)Perspective cues play an important role in painting analysis as it may unveil important characteristics about the painter's techniques and creation process. Nevertheless, extracting perspective lines and their corresponding vanishing points is usually a laborious manual task. Moreover, small variations in the lines may lead to large variations...conference paper 2022

Liu, C. (author), Yang, Lu (author), Li, Z. (author), Nie, Shuai (author), Hu, Chuanlin (author), Wang, Fazhou (author)Due to the satisfactory property and high productivity, heat-cured concretes have been widely used in engineering practice. However, heat curing process also brings some drawbacks that are detrimental to the long-term property of this material. To address this issue, lightweight fine aggregate (LWFA) was employed to provide internal curing ...journal article 2022

Golchin, A. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author)The formulation of a new thermo-mechanical constitutive model consistent with the principles of thermodynamics is presented. The model is capable of predicting the rate-independent thermo-mechanical behavior of fine-grained soils. The constitutive equations are derived by defining only a Gibbs-type free energy and a dissipation potential, in...journal article 2022

(author)The amount of suspended fines in the southern North Sea strongly depends on their exchange with the sandy seabed. This exchange is governed by resuspension of fines during storms, followed by burial in the week thereafter. Despite its importance for fine sediment dynamics, the burial of fines into a sandy seabed is currently not well...journal article 2022
