Chen, Wen-Yu (author)Transport decision-making determines people’s level of accessibility and deeply influences an individual’s access to social and economic opportunities and the quality of life. Socially vulnerable populations are highly dependent on yet often more likely to have less access to transport services and experience lower accessibility. This creates...master thesis 2023

Vos, Kelly (author)This research is conducted in collaboration with the Sophia Children's Hospital (SCH). The hospital wants to provide their patients with more detailed information about when a patient is approximately scheduled to have a surgery. The first step is to create a model which optimises the operation room (OR) schedule and indicates when different...master thesis 2023

do Lago, Cesar A.F. (author), Giacomoni, Marcio H. (author), Bentivoglio, Roberto (author), Taormina, R. (author), Gomes, Marcus N. (author), Mendiondo, Eduardo M. (author)Two-dimensional hydrodynamic models are computationally expensive. This drawback can limit their application to solving problems requiring real-time predictions or several simulation runs. Although the literature presented improvements in using Deep Learning as an alternative to hydrodynamic models, Artificial Neural Networks applications for...journal article 2023

Bruggink, Daan (author)Traversability estimation is a key component in autonomous driving tasks. In many applications, semantic segmentation is used to pixel-wise classify a visual scene. The pixel-wise segmented map is used to estimate the traversability of different environments. The semantic segmentation accuracy can drop if environmental conditions change. The...master thesis 2023

Schriemer, Sterre (author)Frequentist statistics and Bayesian statistics are the two main approaches to statistical inference. The frequentist approach is commonly integrated into academic curricula, while the Bayesian approach is less frequently employed. However a comparison of the approaches, further investigating their shortcomings and advantages, might give a better...bachelor thesis 2023

Dicke, Linge (author)Background:<br/>Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Targeted radionuclide therapy has become a important treatment, this is when a carrier molecule is attached to a radionuclide to deliver cytotoxic radiation levels to diseased cells. β<br/>− emitters are frequently used in RNT because they have a long penetration depth, such...bachelor thesis 2023

Slagter, Jens (author)This research develops a spatial transformation model to work as a tool to address all possible layouts that can be expected when a building is changed. This tool provides tangible answers to the different spatial configuration possibilities of an apartment that can exist within one building design. It combines existing knowledge about the...master thesis 2023

Kortman, Jelle (author)In the semiconductor industry, integrated circuits with nanometre scale structures are manufactured on silicon wafers. Particle contamination on the topside of the wafer can result in the defectivity of the entire die. In the ever-increasing efforts to create smaller structures onto a wafer particle contamination becomes more restrictive to...master thesis 2023

Focante, Edoardo (author)In recent years, neural networks (NNs) have seen a surge in popularity due to their ability to model complex patterns and relationships in data. One of the challenges of using NNs is the requirement for large amounts of labelled data to train the model effectively. In many real-world applications such as radar, labelled data may be scarce due to...master thesis 2023

Draisma, Max (author)Understanding the factors that drive extreme water levels is key to an accurate assessment of flood hazard. The city of Venice has always been affected by flooding due to extreme water levels. In this study, we examine the factors driving and influencing extreme water levels in the Venice lagoon, aiming at deriving accurate extreme water level...master thesis 2023

Improving the content of Vario-Scale Maps - An analysis into the generalization of border structuresErbaşu, Mihai-Alexandru (author)As the way we interact with maps keeps changing, so do the maps change alongside. And it can be easily pointed out how these changes come alongside a large number of advantages for the average map user, such as quick access to data or the ability to view more or less of the Earth's surface with just a mouse scroll, as well as for specialists...master thesis 2023

Schumann, Tim (author)One million homes will be needed in the Netherlands by 2030. Prefabrication in the construction industry can contribute to construct affordable houses, but that results often in standardized and not customized designs. These repetitive designs can be overcome through the introduction of mass-customization in architecture. Computational...master thesis 2023

Fu, J. (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)To ensure the reliability of power systems, the independent system operator (ISO) manages the planning process of the maintenance of generation units for generation companies (GENCOs). This paper focuses on a widely studied two-layer long-term predictive maintenance decision making framework in a deregulated environment. In the first layer...journal article 2023

Flaschel, Moritz (author), Kumar, Siddhant (author), De Lorenzis, Laura (author)We extend the scope of our recently developed approach for unsupervised automated discovery of material laws (denoted as EUCLID) to the general case of a material belonging to an unknown class of constitutive behavior. To this end, we leverage the theory of generalized standard materials, which encompasses a plethora of important constitutive...journal article 2023

Akyüz, M. Hakan (author), Dekker, Rommert (author), Sharif Azadeh, S. (author)The exclusive and excessive use of long-distance road transportation is not suitable way to reduce the negative environmental impacts of logistics systems. Intermodal transport, combining road with other transport modes, has the potential to reduce both operating costs and carbon footprints. One of the reasons for the low share of intermodal...journal article 2023

Bugaje, A.-.A.B. (author), Cremer, Jochen (author), Strbac, Goran (author)Machine learning (ML) for real-time security assessment requires a diverse training database to be accurate for scenarios beyond historical records. Generating diverse operating conditions is highly relevant for the uncertain future of emerging power systems that are completely different to historical power systems. In response, for the first...journal article 2023

(author), Somers, Bart (author)In this work, an extension of the Flamelet Generated Manifold (FGM) method is developed suitable for igniting turbulent flames. To create the FGM, the strongly stretched flamelet equations (SSFE) are solved. Whereas in the standard basic method a single representative flamelet strain rate is used, in the new method a range of strain rates is...journal article 2023

The image reconstruction of ultrasound computed tomography is computationally expensive with conventional iterative methods. The fully learned direct deep learning reconstruction is promising to speed up image reconstruction significantly. However, for direct reconstruction from measurement data, due to the lack of real labeled...journal article 2023

Vogel, G.C. (author), Schulze Balhorn, L. (author), Schweidtmann, A.M. (author)We propose a novel method enabling autocompletion of chemical flowsheets. This idea is inspired by the autocompletion of text. We represent flowsheets as strings using the text-based SFILES 2.0 notation and learn the grammatical structure of the SFILES 2.0 language and common patterns in flowsheets using a transformer-based language model. We...journal article 2023
