Pene, Cosmin (author)Multi-label learning is an emerging extension of the multi-class classification where an image contains multiple labels. Not only acquiring a clean and fully labeled dataset in multi-label learning is extremely expensive, but also many of the actual labels are corrupted or missing due to the automated or non-expert annotation techniques. Noisy...bachelor thesis 2021

Marinov, Atanas (author)Multi-label learning is one of the hot problems in the field of machine learning. The deep neural networks used to solve it could be quite complex and have a huge capacity. This enormous capacity, however, could also be a negative, as they tend to eventually overfit the undesirable features of the data. One such feature presented in the real...bachelor thesis 2021

Pretelt Duque, Manuela (author)COVID-19 has highlighted the importance of the healthcare systems in society. The pandemic overwhelmed hospitals and forced rapid and radical changes in healthcare organizations' working practices and management structures (MASS Design Group, 2020; Ramboll, 2021; Capolongo et al., 2020). The virus led to unfamiliar environments, new spatial...master thesis 2021

Schepers, Job (author)Due to an increase demand for renewable and sustainable forms of energy, the offshore wind industry is growing rapidly. To make wind energy more cost-effective, new wind turbines are becoming larger in size and are placed further offshore. This results in deeper waters, making the installation more difficult. The current methodology uses a jack...master thesis 2021

Schoemaker, Benjamin (author)Following the Paris Agreement, the national government of the Netherlands reached the Climate Agreement together with more than 100 organizations. As part of this agreement, the industry sector is faced with the ambitious goal of 59% CO2 reduction in 2030 with respect to 1990 levels. Since the naphtha cracking industry is one of the most...master thesis 2021

Bons, Wouther (author)Currently, trained machine learning models are readily available, but their training data might not be (for example due to privacy reasons). This thesis investigates how pre-trained models can be combined for performance on all their source domains, without access to data. This problem is formulated as a Multiple-Source Domain Adaptation (MSA)...master thesis 2021

van den Ouden, Florian (author)Applications for thermoelastic metamaterials, in which extremely positive, zero or negative thermal expansion is desired, are plentiful. Nevertheless they are rarely applied, due to their poor manufacturability. To enhance their applicability, a topology optimization framework is proposed and verified, able to generate finite thermoelastic...master thesis 2021

El Uamari, Hamza (author)Stand capacity assessment is an essential factor in airport planning and design due to the large investments associated with airport development. Fulfilling anticipated demand while still considering future growth is key in airport master planning. In this paper, a mixed-integer linear programming optimisation model is proposed, which determines...master thesis 2021

Rapp, S. (author)Airborne wind energy (AWE) is a novel technology that aims at accessing wind resources at higher altitudes which cannot be reached with conventional wind turbines. This technological challenge is accomplished using tethered aircraft or kites in combination with either onboard or ground-based generators. In the former case, the kinetic energy of...doctoral thesis 2021

van der Pluijm, Ricardo (author)The Flying V is an innovative new aircraft concept currently being developed by the faculty of Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology. This aircraft is a flying wing having a large sweep on the inner section, and a small sweep angle at the outer, giving the aircraft its characteristic V shape. The objective of this research is...master thesis 2021

Sripathy, Kiran (author)Commercial FSI solvers employ partitioned FSI, wherein CFD and CSM solvers are used sequentially to resolve the coupling of interface displacement and stress/force. For strongly coupled problems, multiple sub-iterations of both the solvers are required for a stable and accurate solution. IQN-ILS framework requires fewer sub-iterations for...master thesis 2021

Straathof, Robin (author)Brachytherapy (BT) is an essential component in the treatment of cervical cancer as it allows for locally delivering a high dose to the tumour with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues and organs at risk (OARs). However, in advanced cervical cancer patients commercially available BT applicators are particularly ill-adapted and therefore result...master thesis 2021

Chakraborty, S.S. (author)Robustness of a concurrent program ensures that its behaviors on a weak concurrency model are indistinguishable from those on a stronger model. Enforcing robustness is particularly useful when porting or migrating applications between architectures. Existing tools mostly focus on ensuring sequential consistency (SC) robustness which is a...conference paper 2021

Frey, Daniel D. (author), Lin, Yiben (author), Heijnen, P.W. (author)This paper develops theoretical foundations for extending Gauss-Hermite quadrature to robust design with computer experiments. When the proposed method is applied with m noise variables, the method requires 4m + 1 function evaluations. For situations in which the polynomial response is separable, this paper proves that the method gives exact...journal article 2021
