van Winden, Brian (author)Introduction<br/>Approximately 9 in 1000 children are born with congenital heart disease (CHD), of whom a quarter are classified as critical CHD (CCHD) and require an intervention within their first year. Monitoring these patients in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is crucial, yet with increasing amounts of data, detecting subtle...master thesis 2024

Meijs, Lester (author)With Schiphol Airport's flight numbers growing, working assets are essential to ensure on-time processes. The Passenger Boarding Bridge (PBB) is a critical asset in the airport's turnaround process. By ensuring that the asset is working properly, the operational processes can run efficiently. Currently, improving the reliability of the PBB when...master thesis 2024

Michielsen, L.C.M. (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author), Mahfouz, A.M.E.T.A. (author)Most regulatory elements, especially enhancer sequences, are cell population-specific. One could even argue that a distinct set of regulatory elements is what defines a cell population. However, discovering which non-coding regions of the DNA are essential in which context, and as a result, which genes are expressed, is a difficult task. Some...journal article 2024

Slieker, Roderick C. (author), Münch, Magnus (author), Donnelly, Louise A. (author), Bouland, G.A. (author), Dragan, Iulian (author), Kuznetsov, Dmitry (author), Elders, Petra J.M. (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

Kashifi, M.T.K. (author)Road traffic crash is a global tragedy that leads to economic loss, injury, and fatalities. Understanding the severity of a road crash at the early stages is vital to timely providing emergency medical services to crash victims. This study developed a crash emergency response management framework that requires basic crash information for...journal article 2024

Lafuente Arjona, Oscar (author)Military ground vehicles require protection against ballistic threats encountered in the battlefield. Traditionally used armour steel dramatically increases the weight of a vehicle, decreasing its mobility and hampering its capability of carrying payload. The development of new material and protection concepts, namely non-metallic armours, that...master thesis 2023

Lu, Jenny (author)Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a devastating disease with a high mortality rate, poor prognosis, and a mere 7.7% 5-year survival rate [1] compared to 65% for all cancer types [2]. Approximately 80% of patients are diagnosed at the advanced stage [3], for which only palliative chemo(radio)therapy remains as treatment option. However,...master thesis 2023

Kasteel, Max (author)The Bui Dam, the second-largest hydropower dam in Ghana, plays a significant role in the sustainable energy mix of the country. It is managed by the Bui Power Authority (BPA) and has a capacity of hydro-clean generation of 404MW, contributing to 17% of the country’s total electricity generation. However, decision-making at the dam lacks the use...master thesis 2023

Brunia, Stijn (author)Increasing runway capacity is a key objective for many airports worldwide, including Schiphol Airport. One of the restricting factors that has become more prevalent throughout the years lies in the task load of the Air Traffic Ground Controllers. To overcome this limiting factor, it becomes essential to mitigate this high task load. This study...master thesis 2023

van Deudekom, Thijs (author)Summary<br/>Introduction<br/>The increasing use of cardiac catheterisation procedures has raised concerns about occupational radiation exposure and its associated health risks for clinicians. Radiation exposure can lead to deterministic and stochastic effects, including cataract and various cancers. To minimise these risks, the ALARA (As Low As...master thesis 2023

Schouten, Janno (author)Patients who are admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are extremely ill and at high risk of organ failure and death. Being admitted to the ICU is known to cause long lasting physical, cognitive, and physiological symptoms, which is called Post-Intensive Care syndrome (PICS). To provide better management of PICS, early recognition and...master thesis 2023

Nedelchev, Hari (author)Recycled aggregate concrete is emphasized more and more nowadays due to its importance towards the construction industry and general welfare of our planet. Being such a significant feature with regard to universal sustainable development, every aspect of its properties should be evaluated, examined and optimized so that there is a well-known,...master thesis 2023

Mourragui, S.M.C. (author)Extensive efforts in cancer research over the past decades have markedly improved diagnosis and treatments, leading to better outcomes for cancer patients. Paradoxically, however, these discoveries have begun to shed light on a level of complexity that rules out the emergence of a universal cancer treatment. As any tumor is now known to be...doctoral thesis 2023

Xin, Jianbin (author), Wu, Xuwen (author), D'Ariano, Andrea (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Zhang, Fangfang (author)Most of the existing path planning methods of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are static. This paper proposes a new methodology for the path planning of a fleet of AGVs to improve the flexibility, robustness, and scalability of the AGV system. We mathematically describe the transport process as a dynamical system using an ad hoc mixed...journal article 2023

(author)Orbital driven climate control on sedimentation produces regional, stratigraphically repetitive characters and so cyclostratigraphic correlation can improve correlation and identify stratigraphic trends in borehole sections. This concept is commonly used to correlate marine and lacustrine strata. However, in the alluvial domain, its use is more...journal article 2023

Kola, I. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author), Riemsdijk, M. Birna van (author)Support agents that help users in their daily lives need to take into account not only the user’s characteristics, but also the social situation of the user. Existing work on including social context uses some type of situation cue as an input to information processing techniques in order to assess the expected behavior of the user. However,...journal article 2023

Marão Patrício, M.L. (author), Jamshidnejad, A. (author)Interactive machines should establish and maintain meaningful social interactions with humans. Thus, they need to understand and predict the mental states and actions of humans. Based on Theory of Mind (ToM), in order to understand and interact with each other, humans develop cognitive models of one another. Our main goal is to provide a...journal article 2023

Brunner, A.E. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Pascoe, J.A. (author)Quasi-static or cyclic loading of an artificial starter crack in unidirectionally fibre-reinforced composite test coupons yields fracture mechanics data—the toughness or strain-energy release rate (labelled G)—for characterising delamination initiation and propagation. Thus far, the reproducibility of these tests is typically between 10 and...journal article 2023

Yao, Liaojun (author), Liu, J. (author), Lyu, Zhangming (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Hao, Cui (author), Ren, Chuanxi (author), Guo, Licheng (author)Carbon-fibre reinforced composites are susceptible to delamination. Fibre bridging is an important shielding mechanism frequently observed in delamination. The presence of these bridging fibres can significantly increase interlaminar resistance, making it critical to represent this phenomenon for delamination characterization in composite...journal article 2023
