Franken, Daan (author)This thesis aims to find a correlation between the geometric symbolism used in the design of the Greek Parthenon and the contemporary zeitgeist of philosophical anthropology. It will do so by creating a collective narrative combining the disciplines of architecture, mathematics and philosophy.<br/>Our anthropological predisposition as humans to...student report 2023

Verouden, Iris (author)Weather and climate models require knowledge about the surface temperature and surface heat flux to make predictions for climatology, farming, wind power prediction, etc. Most current models make use of Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory (MOST). This theory expresses multiple turbulent fluxes in terms of their mean gradients with height. MOST...master thesis 2023

Aubry, Augusto (author), Carotenuto, Vincenzo (author), De Maio, Antonio (author), Fioranelli, F. (author)This article deals with the statistical inference of simultaneously recorded co- and cross-polarized bistatic coherent sea-clutter returns at S-band. This study is conducted employing appropriate statistical learning tools, involving the complex envelope of data, to assess the compliance of the available measurements with the spherically...journal article 2023

Peng, Q. (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author), Weihs, D. (author)Cancer cell migration between different body parts is the driving force behind cancer metastasis, which causes mortality of patients. Migration of cancer cells often proceeds by penetration through narrow cavities in possibly stiff tissues. In our previous work [12], a model for the evolution of cell geometry is developed, and in the current...book chapter 2023

Inamdar, A.S. (author), van Soestbergen, Michiel (author), Mavinkurve, Amar (author), van Driel, W.D. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)Moulding compounds used for encapsulating electronics typically occupy a large portion of package volume and are most exposed to the external environment. Under harsh conditions such as high temperature, humidity, and mechanical vibrations, constituent materials of electronic components degrade, resulting in a change in their thermal, mechanical...conference paper 2023

Reed, Emily A. (author), Ramos, Guilherme (author), Bogdan, Paul (author), Gonçalves Melo Pequito, S.D. (author)Finding strongly connected components (SCCs) and the diameter of a directed network play a key role in a variety of machine learning and control theory problems. In this article, we provide for the first time a scalable distributed solution for these two problems by leveraging dynamical consensus-like protocols to find the SCCs. The proposed...journal article 2023

Fang, G. (author)Soft robots that are built from materials with mechanical properties similar to those of living tissues can achieve tasks like never before in comparison to conventional rigid robots. Powered by the compliance of soft materials and novel structure designs, complex motion (e.g., bending, twisting, and extension) can be accomplished in robotic...doctoral thesis 2022

Therias, Adele (author), Theodoridou, Eleni (author), PAPADIMITRIOU, CHRYSANTHI (author), Visser, Fabian (author), Zhang, Fengyan (author), Panagiotidou, Ioanna (author)Currently more than 4 billion people live in urban areas around the globe, a trend that is expected to be increased in the upcoming years. While urbanisation provides the space for innovation and new opportunities, in the meantime physical, technical and social challenges are rising and the cities’ vulnerability is increasing. A tool to tackle...student report 2022

Kamminga, Thomas (author)The observations of the Event Horizon Telescope led to the first mages of a black hole, an object with so much gravity that not even light can escape it. These images remain fuzzy but clearly show the shadow of a black hole with a bright disk and will only improve in quality over time. We want to be able to deduce, from the images, the following...bachelor thesis 2022

Lin, Y. (author)The humanly constructed world is well-organized in space. A prominent feature of this artificial world is the presence of repetitive structures and coherent patterns, such as lines, junctions, wireframes of a building, and footprints of a city. These structures and patterns facilitate visual scene understanding by providing abundant geometry...doctoral thesis 2022

Nasikun, A. (author)Research in geometry processing concerns the design of algorithms and mathematical models for the analysis and manipulation of geometric data. Examples of its applications are shape projection (e.g. smoothing and filtering), shape correspondence (e.g. functional maps), shape descriptors (e.g. heat and wave kernel signatures), segmentation, and...doctoral thesis 2022

Chiang, Y.-C. (author)Shell structures carry loads with their thin yet curved shapes. Being thin means shells require little material, which is desirable for minimizing embodied carbon footprints. However, the feature of being curved implies shells require immense effort to design and fabricate. To address the challenges, this dissertation consists of three parts:...doctoral thesis 2022

Pađen, I. (author), Garcia Sanchez, C. (author), Ledoux, H. (author)In the computational fluid dynamics simulation workflow, the geometry preparation step is often regarded as a tedious, time-consuming task. Many practitioners consider it one of the main bottlenecks in the simulation process. The more complex the geometry, the longer the necessary work, meaning this issue is amplified for urban flow simulations...journal article 2022

Rist, C.B. (author), Emmerichs, David (author), Enzweiler, Markus (author), Gavrila, D. (author)Semantic scene completion is the task of jointly estimating 3D geometry and semantics of objects and surfaces within a given extent. This is a particularly challenging task on real-world data that is sparse and occluded. We propose a scene segmentation network based on local Deep Implicit Functions as a novel learning-based method for scene...journal article 2022

(author)Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a popular technology for inspecting railway ballast layer, mainly on the ballast fouling level. However, different GPR antennas with different frequencies are suitable for different inspection emphasis and diverse railway lines (weather and sub-structure). In addition, the full-scale track model (with...journal article 2022

Parakkat, A.D. (author), Memari, Pooran (author), Cani, Marie Paule (author)We introduce Delaunay Painting, a novel and easy-to-use method to flat-colour contour-sketches with gaps. Starting from a Delaunay triangulation of the input contours, triangles are iteratively filled with the appropriate colours, thanks to the dynamic update of flow values calculated from colour hints. Aesthetic finish is then achieved,...journal article 2022
