de Koster, P.B.J. (author), Wahls, S. (author)Lax-integrable partial differential equations (PDEs) can by definition be described through a compatibility condition between two linear operators. These operators are said to form a Lax pair for the PDE, which itself is usually nonlinear. Lax pairs are a very useful tool, but unfortunately finding them is a difficult problem in practice. In...journal article 2024

(author), Lloyd, David G. (author), Carty, Christopher P. (author)Background: Most cases of toe walking in children are idiopathic. We used pathology-specific neuromusculoskeletal predictive simulations to identify potential underlying neural and muscular mechanisms contributing to idiopathic toe walking. Methods: A musculotendon contracture was added to the ankle plantarflexors of a generic musculoskeletal...journal article 2024

Aigner, Lukas (author), Werthmüller, D. (author), Flores Orozco, Adrián (author)We investigate the application of the distance-based global sensitivity analysis (DGSA) to evaluate the sensitivity of electrical model parameters obtained from transient electromagnetic (TEM) data including induced polarization (IP) effects. We propose novel open-source forward modeling and inversion routines for single-loop TEM data...journal article 2024

Egberts, G. (author)Burns can make patients’ lives quite miserable. Apart from prominent and thickened, or hypertrophic, scars, the skin may be characterized by contraction. When this contraction is so severe that the patient loses joint mobility, it is called contracture. Then a patient may have difficulties with sports or other daily activities. The consequence...doctoral thesis 2023

Brus, Daniël (author)In many fields we are interested in inference for a complex stochastic process given limited observations regarding its state over time. This thesis therefore introduces an expectation propagation approach to backward filtering forward guiding for high-dimensional finite-state space models. The backward filtering forward guiding method is first...master thesis 2023

Mânăstireanu, Andrei (author)The curse of dimensionality is a common challenge in machine learning, and feature selection techniques are commonly employed to address this issue by selecting a subset of relevant features. However, there is no consistently superior approach for choosing the most significant subset of features. We conducted a comprehensive analysis comparing...bachelor thesis 2023

Rom, Mano (author), Brand, Jarl (author)The creation of effective computational models that function within the power limitations of edge de- vices is an important research problem in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). While cutting-edge deep learning algorithms show promising results, they frequently need computing resources that are many orders of magnitude more than the...bachelor thesis 2023

Zheng, Hong Jie (author), van den Berg, Christian (author)Artificial Intelligence has become a dominant part of our lives, however, complex artificial intelligence models tend to use a lot of energy, computationally complex operations, and a lot of memory resources. Therefore, it excluded a whole class of hardware in its applicability. Namely, relatively resource-constrained low-cost hardware. This...bachelor thesis 2023

Hu, Li Ou (author), Adriaanse, Marijn (author)In the past decades, much progress has been made in the field of AI, and now many different algorithms exist that reach very high accuracies. Unfortunately, many of these algorithms are quite resource intensive, which makes them unavailable on low-cost devices. <br/>The aim of this thesis is to explore algorithms and neural network techniques...bachelor thesis 2023

Hoendermis, Dora (author)Radiotherapy is one of the main treatments for cancer and relies heavily on CT images to calculate radiation dose. With research on radiotherapy moving to adaptive treatments aiming to calculate these doses at real-time speeds while maintaining high precision, a need for accurate CT imaging at comparable real-time speeds has emerged. Currently,...master thesis 2023

Witsen Elias, Julie (author)As connections between customers and suppliers become increasingly complex, the design of transport networks is under growing pressure to achieve efficiency. In response to this challenge, this paper proposes a service network design that takes into account both the forward flows from a production facility to a customer and the returning flows...master thesis 2023

de Koster, P.B.J. (author), Wahls, S. (author)We present a fast method to calculate the significantly large solitonic components of signals with large time-bandwidth products governed by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, for which the computation typically becomes prohibitively expensive and/or numerically unstable. We partition the full signal in both frequency and time to obtain...journal article 2023

Yuan, S. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)The ambiguity problem in forward-looking Doppler beam sharpening is considered. Doppler beam sharpening (DBS) has shown its potential to improve cross-range resolution for automotive radar applications.

Egberts, G. (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author), van Zuijlen, Paul (author)Severe burn injuries often lead to skin contraction, leading to stresses in and around the damaged skin region. If this contraction leads to impaired joint mobility, one speaks of contracture. To optimize treatment, a mathematical model, that is based on finite element methods, is developed. Since the finite element-based simulation of skin...journal article 2023
