Mohamedhoesein, Majid (author)Recently machine learning (ML) has become increasingly popular, and has been shown to be a powerful predictive technique. The applications of ML cover a wide range of disciplines, including the natural sciences. Presently, the field of catalysis is still relatively unexposed to ML and other data-driven techniques. This can largely be attributed...master thesis 2021

den Hartog, Dylan (author)Background: Osseointegration is a relatively new alternative for a socket to attach an artificial limb to the stump of an amputee. In a surgical procedure, a metal implant is permanently anchored and integrated into the bone of the stump. Amputees with an osseointegrated prosthesis have indicated that they experience better physical control over...master thesis 2021

van der Meijden, Siri (author)Intensive Care Unit (ICU) readmission is a serious adverse event associated with high mortality rates and costs. Prediction of ICU readmission could support physicians in their decision to discharge patients from the ICU to lower care wards. Due to increasing ICU data availability, Artificial Intelligence (AI) models in the form of machine...master thesis 2021

Chotkan, Shaniel (author)During intense periods of drought, the development of cracks is observed in peat and clay dikes. Asset managers of the dikes increase the inspection frequency in times of drought to be able to monitor these cracks. Significant development of the cracks contributes to the development of different failure mechanisms. In this study, the occurrence...master thesis 2021

Vogiatzis, Anastasios (author)Everything around us is rapidly changing. Whole new blocks of buildings are built, huge infrastructural projects are constructed and so on. Hence, there is a need of a reliable and up-to-date inventory of the area and the objects of interest for mapping and monitoring assets and their changes. An answer of this upcoming need is an automated...master thesis 2021

Wirianto, Erik (author)Neonatal sepsis is a dangerous non-specific disease in babies, especially neonate/newborns. It is one of the leading causes of neonate mortality rate, because of the difficulty to diagnose, leading to late or false treatment. Previous research has found the promising feature of artificial intelligence or machine learning in solving the problem....master thesis 2021

Papalexiou, Annie (author)Although monitoring and maintenance of railways is important to ensure safety and avoid delays and financial losses, it is still mainly based on human inspection. The complexity of a railway along with the large area it extends makes manual monitoring difficult and time-consuming. The increasing availability of 3D acquisition technologies has...master thesis 2021

Vorage, Laurence (author)To ensure continuous operations at airports, operational schedules need to be able to cope with early and late arriving/departing flights. To optimize such schedules for these events, flight delay predictions are necessary. Till now, flight delay has been studied mainly from a binary and regression standpoint. These type of predictions lack a...master thesis 2021
