van Oosterhoudt, Ruben (author)Introduction: Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a commonly used technique for the initial diagnosis of gliomas. T1, T2, T2-FLAIR, and post-contrast T1 with gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) can show tumor characteristics. However, using this contrast agent poses a risk to patients with kidney failures, has environmental impact, and increases...master thesis 2023

Lubbers, Rob (author)The aim of this paper is to find out which Machine Learning (ML) model predicts the concentration of Chlorophyll-a, in the Palmar lake in Uruguay best. Currently there are no such models to predict the growth in this lake. The algorithms which will be compared in this paper are a Linear Regression model and the U-Net model. We will compare the...bachelor thesis 2023

Pena Pereira, Simon (author)Transforming the global energy sector from fossil-fuel based to renewable energy sources is key to limiting global warming and efficiently achieving climate neutrality. The decentralized nature of the renewable energy system allows private households to install photovoltaic (PV) systems on their rooftops. In this context, planning an efficient...master thesis 2023

Khan, Umara (author), Zevenhoven, Ron (author), Stougie, L. (author), Tveit, Tor Martin (author)Heat pumps (HPs) which use low temperature (waste) heat and renewable energy sources to provide high temperature heat are widely regarded as a critical technology for reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the industrial sector. The HighLift technology considered here can provide high temperature output heat up to around 200 °C. This article...journal article 2023

Zhou, Jianfeng (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Cozzani, Valerio (author)Fire is one of the main accident scenarios occurring in chemical and process plants, and it can lead to domino effects due to thermal radiation. Emergency response is necessary to prevent fire escalation, in addition to safety barriers. In major industrial fire accidents, backup is usually required in emergency response, due to the lack of...journal article 2023

Sluijter, Judith (author)Wrong-level spine surgery (WLS) is a medical error with severe consequences for the patient and medical staff. The current golden standard to prevent WLS during spinal surgery is fluoroscopy images acquired by a C-arm. However, this approach uses ionising radiation and interrupts the standard surgical workflow. To overcome these disadvantages,...master thesis 2022

Kloppenburg, Mayke (author)Nowadays, software is an integral part of many companies. However, the codebase can grow large and complicated and is often insufficiently documented. To gain insight, tools have been made to infer state machines and process models from software logs. These tools produce different types of models such as automata and Petri nets. The main...master thesis 2022

Meluzzi, Matteo (author)Dependently typed languages such as Agda have the potential to revolutionize the way we write software because they allow the programmer to catch more bugs at compile time than classical languages. Nonetheless, dependently typed languages are hardly used in practice. One of the reasons is the lack of mature compilers for them.<br/>This paper...bachelor thesis 2022

Wang, Jinyang (author), Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), de Swart, Huib E. (author)Net water transport (NWT) in estuaries is important for, for example, salt intrusion and sediment dynamics. While NWT is only determined by river runoff in single channels, in estuarine networks, it results from a complex interplay between tides and residual flows. This study aims to disentangle the various contributions of these physical...journal article 2022

Steiner, J. (author), Dwight, R.P. (author), Viré, A.C. (author)The state-of-the-art in wind-farm flow-physics modeling is Large Eddy Simulation (LES) which makes accurate predictions of most relevant physics, but requires extensive computational resources. The next-fidelity model types are Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) which are two orders of magnitude cheaper, but resolve only mean quantities...journal article 2022

Pryce, David (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Memon, Fayyaz A. (author)In the plight for sustainable development and to support net zero ambitions for climate change mitigation, a broad range of aeration strategies have been developed with the hope of improving efficiency to minimize environmental and economic costs associated with the wastewater treatment processes. However, a balance is levied between reducing...journal article 2022

Zhao, Y. (author), Yang, C. (author), Schweidtmann, A.M. (author), Tao, Q. (author)The self-configuring nnU-Net has achieved leading performance in a large range of medical image segmentation challenges. It is widely considered as the model of choice and a strong baseline for medical image segmentation. However, despite its extraordinary performance, nnU-Net does not supply a measure of uncertainty to indicate its possible...conference paper 2022

(author)This paper discusses the design and optimization of electric vehicles’ fast-charging stations with on-site photovoltaic energy production and a battery energy storage system. Three scenarios, varying the number of chargers, distance from the main grid, and on-site photovoltaic generation potential, are investigated. Such scenarios are...conference paper 2022

Dahle, F. (author), Tanke, Julian (author), Wouters, B. (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author)A huge archive of historical images of the Antarctica taken by the US Navy between 1940 and 2000 is publicly available. These images have not yet been used for large-scale computer-driven analysis as they were captured with analog cameras. They were only later digitized and contain no semantic information. Most modern deep-learning based...journal article 2022

Zhou, Jianfeng (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)A fire accident is one the most dangerous accidents that may lead to knock-on effects, especially in the plants dealing with large quantities of hazardous substances. Different from other accidents, e.g., explosions, fires can last certain period of time and the thermal radiations emitted by them have a synergistic effect. At the same time, the...journal article 2022

Narayanappa, Karthik (author)Joining structural components in aircraft is generally performed through mechanical fastening. The interaction of bearing and bypass stresses in composite bolted joints causes a reduction in the static strength of the joint. The bearing-bypass diagram determines the bearing and net-section failure modes. This thesis work aims to provide a design...master thesis 2021
