Vos, Geert (author)This research has aimed to investigate the possibility of applying a neural network algorithm into the structural design process of bascule bridge leaves, by creating a workflow in Grasshopper. The demand for this tool, originates from the fact that the current design process is experienced as linear and slow, and does not fit the dynamic design...master thesis 2024

Vermeer, Jort (author)The Random Finite Element Method (RFEM) is a robust stochastic method for slope reliability analysis that incorporates the spatial variability of soil properties. However, the extensive computational time associated with the direct Monte Carlo simulation limits its practical application. To overcome this problem, this study investigates the use...master thesis 2024

Adla, Soham (author), Bruckmaier, Felix (author), Arias-Rodriguez, Leonardo F. (author), Tripathi, Shivam (author), Pande, S. (author), Disse, Markus (author)Sensor data and agro-hydrological modeling have been combined to improve irrigation management. Crop water models simulating crop growth and production in response to the soil-water environment need to be parsimonious in terms of structure, inputs and parameters to be applied in data scarce regions. Irrigation management using soil moisture...journal article 2024

(author), Rutter, Guy A. (author), Ibberson, Mark (author)Aims/hypothesis: People with type 2 diabetes are heterogeneous in their disease trajectory, with some progressing more quickly to insulin initiation than others. Although classical biomarkers such as age, HbA<sub>1c</sub> and diabetes duration are associated with glycaemic progression, it is unclear how well such variables predict insulin...journal article 2024

(author), Kober, J. (author)Minimally Invasive Procedures (MIPs) emerged as an alternative to more invasive surgical approaches, offering patient benefits such as smaller incisions, less pain, and shorter hospital stay. In one class of MIPs, where natural body lumens or small incisions are used to access deeper anatomical locations, Flexible Surgical and Interventional...review 2024

Liu, Yuxuan (author), Eeltink, Debbie (author), van den Bremer, T.S. (author), Adcock, Thomas A.A. (author)Wave breaking is a complex physical process about which open questions remain. For some applications, it is critical to include breaking effects in phase-resolved envelope-based wave models such as the non-linear Schrödinger. A promising approach is to use machine learning to capture breaking effects. In the present paper we develop the...journal article 2024

Rang, Jugo (author)This paper presents a novel approach for the estimation of conditional multivariate cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) within a nonparametric framework. To achieve this, we introduce a binary random variable that indirectly represents conditional CDFs and construct a dataset by pairing input vectors with the binary variables. We developed...master thesis 2023

Vos, Gerard (author)The political interest in fish habitat suitability and, consequently, of fish populations has increased. The fish habitat suitability is a key factor for successful ecological restoration, for example via dam removal and implementation of fish passage. Furthermore, the fish population composition determines the ecological quality of water bodies...master thesis 2023
