Schroeder, Philippe (author)It is difficult for people to find strategies that fit their needs for changing behaviors. This project investigates how individuals can be supported to reflect on their health behaviors through the use of technology. Through various research and design methods, the project provides a comprehensive overview of the literature on reflections, how...master thesis 2023

Scholtens, Ekko (author)In this paper, we present a study to improve using neural networks for acoustic reflection localization. Our study focuses on the reimplementation of the proposed neural network model by Bologni et al. and investigates the effect of adding a third microphone to the microphone array. We reimplemented and trained the neural network using the same...bachelor thesis 2023

Ghose, R. (author), Carvalho, João (author), Alves, Daniela V. (author), Santos, Luiz Alberto (author), Ressurreição, Ricardo (author), Alves, Paulo Henrique Bastos (author), Leote, Jaime (author)The Azambuja fault is a NNE trending structure located 50 km north of Lisbon, the capital and most populous city of Portugal. The fault has been considered as a possible source for the historical, large earthquakes. Understanding this fault is a priority in seismic hazard evaluation of this region. The fault has a clear morphological...journal article 2023

Kernan Freire, S. (author), Wang, C.W. (author), Ruiz Arenas, S. (author), Niforatos, E. (author)Many industries face the challenge of capturing workers' knowledge to share it, particularly tacit knowledge. The operation of complex systems such as a manufacturing line is knowledge-intensive. Considering this knowledge's breadth and dynamic nature, existing knowledge-sharing solutions are inefficient and resource intensive. Conversational...conference paper 2023

van Onselen, L. (author)Junior designers may experience struggles with collaborative partners (e.g clients, managers, and stakeholders) who may prioritise values differently and which may yield frustration, conflict, and stress. Particularly, junior designers may find coping with value-based conflicts challenging as support is lacking. Senior designers can develop...doctoral thesis 2022

Boomaars, Kay (author)Sea level rise causes more difficulties for coastal maintenance. Although hard structures were built in the past to prevent for flooding, nature based solutions are preferred more recently. For the application of nature based solutions, a better understanding of the coastal processes is desired. Dry sand is transported towards the dunes by...master thesis 2022

Buwalda, Joran (author)Transdisciplinary research can be a powerful means to achieve a change in society. This participatory form of research is becoming increasingly common in climate and energy research. However, transdisciplinary research can be challenging. Which role should a researcher adopt when collaborating with societal actors? This master thesis focuses on...master thesis 2022

Molenkamp, Auke (author)With the advance of urbanisation in coastal regions comes an increase in armoured shorelines and the destruction of coastal marine habitats. To combat this, ECOncrete Tech Ltd has developed a new eco-friendly armour unit, the CoastaLock. With its ecological advantages proven, its hydraulic performance is still largely unknown. This thesis aims...master thesis 2022

Kardux, Famke (author)Spinal fusion is a surgical treatment involving stiffening parts of the spinal column to eliminate any relative motion and improve spine stability. A critical part of spinal fusion surgery is the placement of pedicle screws because it is highly complex and can damage the vascular structures and nerves near the vertebrae. To prevent complications...master thesis 2022

Dijksman, Rick (author)With the introduction of machine learning algorithms in industry came a new improvement to excising production line. Image recognisance can now be used to detect defects of the product made by these production lines. However these kinds of flaw detection can be fooled by mirror-like specular light effect on these products, which can reduce the...bachelor thesis 2022

Li, N.L. (author)With the growing concerns over energy depletion and environmental protection all over the world, more and more attention is being paid to energy transition towards renewable energy sources (RESs), energy efficiency improvement, and CO$_2$ emission reduction. Integrated community energy systems (ICESs) emerge in the development of local energy...doctoral thesis 2022

Zijlstra, Maarten (author)The dolmens erected in the province of Drenthe between 3350-2700 BC are the most ancient monuments of the Netherlands. They consist of a long assemblage of rocks capped with boulders which served as burial chambers for the Funnel Beaker population. Despite their robust look, dolmens are vulnerable. For example, one of the caprocks of dolmen D14...master thesis 2022

van Pelt, Tess (author)Introduction: Although being the most advanced spinal stabilization method, pedicle screw fixation has an increased number of complications compared to other surgical procedures, due to the complex spinal anatomy, large inter-patient anatomical variability, and the highly vulnerable surrounding tissue of the spine. Screw fixation strength can be...master thesis 2022

(author)A logical next step for achieving a cost price reduction per Watt peak of photovoltaics (PV) is multijunction PV devices. In two-terminal multijunction PV devices, the photo-current generated in each subcell should be matched. Intermediate reflective layers (IRLs) are widely employed in multijunction devices to increase reflection at the...journal article 2022

MačEk, Nejc (author), Usta, B. (author), Eisemann, E. (author), Marroquim, Ricardo (author)Video-streaming services usually feature post-processing effects to replace the background. However, these often yield inconsistent lighting. Machine-learning-based relighting methods can address this problem, but, at real-time rates, are restricted to a low resolution and can result in an unrealistic skin appearance. Physically-based...journal article 2022
