Sauerbrey, M. (author)We construct solutions to the stochastic thin-film equation with quadratic mobility and Stratonovich gradient noise in the physically relevant dimension d = 2 and allow in particular for solutions with non-full support. The construction relies on a Trotter–Kato time-splitting scheme, which was recently employed in d = 1. The additional...journal article 2024

Pockelé, Josephine (author)Wind turbine noise is one of the grand challenges in the public acceptance of onshore wind farm projects. The field of psychoacoustics identifies the auralisation of wind turbine noise as a link between technical design and annoyance estimation. There is currently limited work on the auralisation of wind turbine noise, and none targets an...master thesis 2023

Markhorst, Thomas (author)In this paper, we combine image denoising and classification, aiming to enhance human perception of noisy images captured by edge devices, like security cameras. Since edge devices have little computational power, we also optimize for efficiency by proposing a novel architecture that integrates the two tasks. Additionally, we alter a Neural...master thesis 2023

Verhoog, Castor (author)Vibration attenuation in lightly damped blade-like systems such as cantilevers or end-effectors of robot manipulators can be dampened using Active Vibration Control (AVC). Piezoelectric patches in a collocated setup measure and control the bending modes of such a cantilever system using Positive Position Feedback (PPF). Tuning methods for PPF...master thesis 2023

Dessing, Jostijn (author)The Kuramoto model (KM) is a well known mathematical model of coupled oscillators that is frequently used to study synchronization phenomena. In this bachelor thesis we investigate the effects of noise on synchronization in Kuramoto-type networks.<br/><br/>In the first part we follow the methods of Maggi and Paoluzzi [1], but include detailed in...bachelor thesis 2023

de Wit, J.J. (author), Pieters, Wolter (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Professionals working in both the physical and cybersecurity domain need to assess and evaluate security risks. As information on risks in general and security risks in particular is often imperfect and intractable, these professionals are facing a challenge in judging both likelihood and consequences, but how much do their existing...journal article 2023

Costa, D.C. (author), Simoni, Mario (author), Piccinini, Gianluca (author), Graziano, Mariagrazia (author)The new quantum era is expected to have an unprecedented social impact, enabling the research of tomorrow in several pivotal fields. These perspectives require a physical system able to encode, process and store for a sufficiently long amount of time the quantum information. However, the optimal engineering of currently available quantum...journal article 2023

Perrenet, Joris (author)The goal of seismic imaging is to create a model of the subsurface from samples of a transmitted wavefield that is reflected in soil layers.<br/>The created model can be used to locate storage possibilities for CO2 or H2 or to find oil and gas reservoirs or other natural resources.<br/>Seismic imaging relies on the propagation of wavefields,...bachelor thesis 2022

Aalberse, Max (author)During the COVID-19 pandemic people living close to the airport got accustomed to less flights, and therefore less noise disturbance. Now the amount of traffic is increasing again and so is the noise disturbance. For this research specifically the optimizing task of distributing of arriving aircraft over the IAF is addressed, as often the...master thesis 2022

Bui, NAM THANG (author)Although there are many promising applications of a learning curve in machine learning, such as model selection, we still know very little about what factors influence their behaviours. The aim is to study the impact of the inherent characteristics of the datasets on the learning shapes, which are noise, discretized input and dimensionality. We...bachelor thesis 2022

Karaminis, Themis (author), Hintz, Florian (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)Oral communication often takes place in noisy environments, which challenge spoken-word recognition. Previous research has suggested that the presence of background noise extends the number of candidate words competing with the target word for recognition and that this extension affects the time course and accuracy of spoken-word recognition....journal article 2022

de Haan, Wouter (author)Due to the rising demand for short-range air travel and the desire for aircraft driven by electric propulsion, there has been a renewed interest in propeller research. Despite the high potential aerodynamic efficiency of propellers, their excessive noise emissions prevent a widespread use on aircraft. A gradient based optimization study is...master thesis 2021

Jin, J. (author), Duan, Yunling (author)The quality of the surrounding rock is crucial to the stability of underground caverns, thereby requiring an effective monitoring technology. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) can reconstruct the subterranean profile by electromagnetic waves, but two significant issues, called clutter and hyperbola tails, affect the signal quality. We propose an...journal article 2021

Balado Frías, J. (author), Arias, Pedro (author), Lorenzo, Henrique (author), Meijide-Rodríguez, Adrián (author)Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) systems have proven their usefulness in the rapid and accurate acquisition of the urban environment. From the generated point clouds, street furniture can be extracted and classified without manual intervention. However, this process of acquisition and classification is not error-free, caused mainly by disturbances...journal article 2021

Wei, Wei (author), Blacquière, G. (author)Focal beam analysis has built a bridge between the acquisition parameters on the surface and the image quality of underground targets. However, as a practical matter, it is still difficult to answer how to choose a proper acquisition geometry according to the complexity of medium, especially considering the contradictory effects of multiple...journal article 2021

Glasbergen, Govert Jan (author)Wind turbines are growing in size and therefore their foundations, become larger as well. Additionally, they are placed in deeper waters. This results in the industry being at the limit of underwater noise levels generated by impact piling during the installation phase of monopiles. The most common installation method for monopiles is impact...master thesis 2020

Kaandorp, Dennis (author)Temperature sensors are integrated into virtually all electronic devices. Unfortunately, the accuracy of commonly used temperature sensors greatly deteriorates in more advanced CMOS processes, thus requiring a certain amount of calibration. Thermal noise thermometry is a highly accurate niche temperature sensing method. It employs the thermal...master thesis 2020

Vlasblom, Nina (author)Skopje is city of architecture with a strong emphasis on their exterior. Looking at the image of the city, the variety of architecture present can seem a bit overwhelming; each type of architecture seems to claim that they are thé image of Skopje. Since Skopje is filled with these different types of 'loud speaking architecture', the image of the...master thesis 2020
