Cholera is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. Infections can occur directly via contact with infected people, but also indirectly via infected water. Because of these direct, but especially indirect infections, it is useful to investigate the spread of the disease using mathematical epidemic models. In this report a...

In this bachelor thesis we propose a spatial Markov Chain Cellular Automata<br/>model for the spread of the COVID-19 virus as well as two methods for parameter<br/>estimation. Network topologies are used to model the progression of the epidemic<br/>by considering each individual on a grid and using stochastic principles to determine the...

Estuaries have always been important for mankind and therefore it is essential to have a good understanding of the flow and sediment dynamics there. The goal of this thesis is twofold. One objective is to use an existing model to gain a more thorough understanding of the flow dynamics in an estuary. The second objective is to extend the model...

Background and aims: Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a common manifestation of abnormal blood pressure (BP) regulation. The relative contribution and interaction of the physiological systems that alter or maintain adequate BP is largely unknown. Developing a closed-loop model is necessary to investigate the complex physiological function and...

Ferrofluid bearings provide a cheap and passive alternative to contactless bearings such as magnetic bearings and fluid bearings. The absence of stick-slip and the low viscous friction make them interesting for high precision applications. Despite the theoretical models available in literature, the number of design rules for ferrofluid bearings...

<br/>Though the commercialisation of nanotechnology began only 30 years ago, it has developed into one of the fastest growing industries in terms of research and design, with an unlimited amount of possibilities that will transform industries from how we know them today. The advancement of nanotechnology relies on the actual production, control...

HER2+ breast cancer patients suffer from aggressive tumours that often respond well to treatment compared to HER2- patients. Currently, patients are all treated with the same number of anti-tumour treatments, although the required number to eradicate all tumour cells varies between patients. The goal is thus to have an individualised model based...

A distribution network design is of importance to systematically organize the flow of products from supply points to demand points. A distribution network is not only crucial before sales but also after sales because regardless of the initial quality of product, malfunctions occur. These malfunctions need to be repaired by replacing defective...

Burn injuries can lead to serious complications that have a large influence on someone’s quality of life. In order to help patients, we need to gain insight into the wound healing process and in the development of complications that come with serious burn injuries. The final goal would be to prevent or at least reduce these complications. With a...

Parcel delivery companies offer time-guaranteed transportation of parcels, letters and packages, picked up at one customer and delivered at another. The time in which this has to be done depends on the service level that the customer pays for. To transport the parcels, a network is used consisting of facilities and links, where the facilities...

A ferrofluid is a fluid with paramagnetic properties while having a colloidal stability. This can be used to obtain a hydrostatic type of bearing that distinguishes itself from other bearings by its compactness, inherent stability, low (viscous) friction, absence of pumps and absence of stick-slip. These properties, together with its low price,...

A big proportion of hospital-associated infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus can be attributed to Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Many countries take interventions to try and minimise the spread of MRSA. Interventions, such as a search-and-destroy policy and restrictive antibiotics use, have proven to be effective. Different...

Coal is certain to play a major role in the world’s energy future due to its low cost and widespread distribution around the world. At the same time, being the largest contributor to global CO2 emissions from energy use, coal faces significant environmental challenges in terms of air pollution and global warming. The study focuses on developing...

The competitiveness of the maritime sector together with energetic and environmental challenges have promoted a demand for more efficient marine vehicles. In response to this, research campaigns have been conducted, with the aim of developing new technologies. One of these technologies is the application of hydrofoils (e.g.: a Hull Vane) to...

In this study, a pressure filtration model for a slurry of milk fat crystal aggregates is developed, validated and used to investigate the effect of pressure-time profiles. The model focuses on the expression step and describes oil flow locally. The filter cake is modelled as a double porous non-linear elastic medium with permeabilities...

The specific issue researched in this thesis is correcting some inaccuracies that occur when the robot is polishing<br/>certain shapes. The biggest challenge is to mathematically describe this phenomenon in order to find<br/>an appropriate correction. Since there are a lot of influences in the process (friction, movement, impact, degrees<br/>of...

Within the electricity driven conversion methods, electrocatalysis has been assessed to be the closest to commercialisation. This can only be realised, if the system efficiency is increased in terms of the reaction rate, onset potential and/or selectivity. Current research has shown that, apart from the more widely investigated routes to improve...

As a promising technology, photocatalysis shows its unique advantages and potential in many disciplines, from hydrogen production, indoor and outdoor air purification, remediation of non-biodegradable molecular in the factory, to the organic synthesis with high selectivity. In recent years, photocatalytic semiconductor process has shown a high...

The hydrolysis of sludge solids especially for difficultly degradable sludges such as WAS is not fully understood, yet. The first-order hydrolysis rate was shown to function well for most easily degradable sludges and soluble substrates. This description for substrate hydrolysis in the context of anaerobic digestion has the benefit of being very...
