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

Weißhaar, Thaddäus (author)European cities are implementing diverse strategies to curtail car usage. Understanding the impact of these policies necessitates insights into mode choice behaviour. However, for conventional discrete choice models, utility specifications must be defined upfront, potentially leading to misleading policy recommendations. This problem is solved...student report 2023

van Marrewijk, Josine (author)In this research the possibilities of the application of machine learning models at ‘Hoogheemraadschap van Delfland’ are studied. A random forest (RF) and an LSTM model are used for the prediction of the sum of the discharge in the next 2, 8 and 12 hours from the polders to the boezem canals. This research has showed the potential of machine...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

Predictive Analysis of Anti-NMDA-Receptor Encephalitis: using a Random Forest Classifier on EEG DataLückerath, Femke (author)During the initial phase of diagnosis, patients with anti-NDMA-receptor encephalitis (anti-NMDARE) often experience severe symptoms that significantly impact their quality of life. Anti-NDMARE is an autoimmune disorder affecting the brain, with electroencephalography (EEG) playing a vital role in diagnosis and treatment. Identifying EEG patterns...master thesis 2023

de Boer, Adam (author)The following report will enlighten to which extent LiDAR data could enhance land cover classification. It focuses on the area Lemps (26510) in Southwest France where a land cover classification was made using Sentinel-2 spectral images during the fieldwork. Using the additional LiDAR data, the focus shifts to distinguish coniferous and...bachelor thesis 2023

(author), Rahimi, Mohammad (author), Elkamel, Ali (author)Porous carbons as solid adsorbent materials possess effective porosity characteristics that are the most important factors for gas storage. The chemical activating routes facilitate hydrogen storage by adsorbing on the high surface area and microporous features of porous carbon-based adsorbents. The present research proposed to predict H<sub...journal article 2023

Sun, Yubo (author), Cheng, H. (author), Zhang, Shizhe (author), Mohan, Manu K. (author), Ye, G. (author), De Schutter, Geert (author)Alkali-activated concrete (AAC) is regarded as a promising alternative construction material to reduce the CO<sub>2</sub> emission induced by Portland cement (PC) concrete. Due to the diversity in raw materials and complexity of reaction mechanisms, a commonly applied design code is still absent to date. This study attempts to directly...journal article 2023

Tepeli, Y.I. (author), Seale, C.F. (author), P. Gonçalves, Joana (author)Motivation<br/><br/>Anti-cancer therapies based on synthetic lethality (SL) exploit tumour vulnerabilities for treatment with reduced side effects, by targeting a gene that is jointly essential with another whose function is lost. Computational prediction is key to expedite SL screening, yet existing methods are vulnerable to prevalent selection...journal article 2023

Hernández, J.I. (author), van Cranenburgh, S. (author), Chorus, C.G. (author), Mouter, N. (author)We propose three procedures based on association rules (AR) learning and random forests (RF) to support the specification of a portfolio choice model applied in data from complex choice experiment data, specifically a Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE) choice experiment. In a PVE choice experiment, respondents choose a combination of...journal article 2023

Mensi, Antonella (author), Tax, D.M.J. (author), Bicego, Manuele (author)Because outliers are very different from the rest of the data, it is natural to represent outliers by their distances to other objects. Furthermore, there are many scenarios in which only pairwise distances are known, and feature-based outlier detection methods cannot directly be applied. Considering these observations, and given the success...journal article 2023

Labaar, Anna Lisa (author)For European Union member states, it is mandatory to assign Natura 2000 areas and regularly monitor them. Currently, vegetation mapping is done mainly manually, which is a time-consuming and expensive practise. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs or drones), manoeuvrable vehicles with which high-resolution measurements can be done, could increase...master thesis 2022
