Elferink, Amber (author)Moving through immersive virtual reality (VR) is commonly achieved by physically walking in the real room or using other techniques like an omnidirectional treadmill or walk-in-place. Roomscale walking is most similar to normal walking but is limited by physical space. However, other techniques can cause user experience issues such as VR...master thesis 2024

Yang, W. (author), Chen, Tingshu (author), He, Renke (author), Goossens, R.H.M. (author), Huysmans, T. (author)Subjective scales are frequently used in the design process of head-related products to assess pressure discomfort. Nevertheless, some users lack fundamental cognitive and motor abilities (e.g., paralyzed patients). Therefore, it is vital to find non-verbal measurements of pressure discomfort and pressure pain. This study gathered the autonomic...journal article 2024

Oud, Michelle (author), Breedveld, Sebastiaan (author), Rojo-Santiago, Jesús (author), Giżyńska, Marta Krystyna (author), Kroesen, Michiel (author), Habraken, S.J.M. (author), Perko, Z. (author), Heijmen, Ben (author), Hoogeman, M.S. (author)Objective. In head-and-neck cancer intensity modulated proton therapy, adaptive radiotherapy is currently restricted to offline re-planning, mitigating the effect of slow changes in patient anatomies. Daily online adaptations can potentially improve dosimetry. Here, a new, fully automated online re-optimization strategy is presented. In a...journal article 2024

Jagadeesh, A. (author), Ong, G. P. (author), Su, Y. M. (author)Drainage capacity of pervious pavement mixtures is commonly measured using a falling head permeameter at hydraulic heads much higher than expected in the field. Recent advancements in computational fluid dynamics (CFD)- and X-ray computed tomography (XRCT)-based modeling eliminates the laboratory challenges of maintaining lower hydraulic...journal article 2024

(author)Inflicted shaking trauma can cause injury in infants, but exact injury mechanisms remain unclear. Controversy exists, particularly in courts, whether additional causes such as impact are required to produce injuries found in cases of (suspected) shaking. Publication rates of studies on animal and biomechanical models of inflicted head injury...review 2024

Aleva, T.K. (author), Tabone, W. (author), Dodou, D. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Introduction: Communication from automated vehicles (AVs) to pedestrians using augmented reality (AR) could positively contribute to traffic safety. However, previous AR research for pedestrians was mainly conducted through online questionnaires or experiments in virtual environments instead of real ones. Methods: In this study, 28...journal article 2024

Ronckers, Dennis (author)Accumulations of floating debris at culverts and inverted siphons cause partial blockage of the hydraulic structure’s inlet, leading to an increase in head loss that is also referred to as backwater rise. This effect is of high importance in flood management, because backwater rise associated with floating debris accumulations can cause or...master thesis 2023

Peppelman, Christian (author)Non-invasive head-worn sensors are an upcoming field of interest. Most commercial sensors and sensors presented in research papers are limited in their capabilities and require frequent user interaction. In this Thesis, we research the possibilities of overcoming some of these limitations and extending the capabilities of these sensors.master thesis 2023

Heijs, Floor (author)Background: Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is the predominant form of osteoarthritis, and its incidence is anticipated to rise due to an ageing and increasingly overweight population. Altering the Foot Progression Angle (FPA) has demonstrated potential in mitigating the progression of KOA. Wearable feedback methods, especially those utilising single...master thesis 2023

Chen, Linda (author)Background: Histopathological examination in the diagnostic workflow of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is essential. We aimed to develop a machine learning pipeline to predict human papillomavirus (HPV) status in OPSCC patients based on clinical variables and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). <br/>Methods: In a...master thesis 2023

Fadul Bonamusa, Mikel (author)Aiming to comply with the Paris Agreement, the reduction of Europe’s GHG emissions in the energy sector is a must. Due to the intermittency of renewable sources, energy storage technologies are essential to this plan. Offshore Low Head Pumped Hydro Storage (LH PHS) is presented as an alternative to partly solve this problem. Considering that its...master thesis 2023

van Zon, Manon (author)Intensity modulated proton therapy is an advanced radiotherapy technique that is used to treat cancer patients. In order to successfully treat a patient, sufficient dose to the tumor is required. However, during the fractionated treatment, multiple errors can cause a difference between the planned and actual dose delivery. To ensure adequate...master thesis 2023
