WANG, NIAN RU (author)This thesis presents LightLetter, a system that is designed for recognizing fingertip air-writing of both numbers and letters. This provides a cost-effective and privacy-conscious method for interacting with public devices, such as touchscreens. The current iteration of LightLetter allows for the input of letters and numbers to public devices...master thesis 2023

Kloppenburg, Jeroen (author)The behaviour of software is intrinsically linked to the hardware it runs on. As hardware innovations continuously change the landscape of computing, software has to adapt to these changes. Running legacy software on new hardware requires either the old hardware to be emulated, or a very time-consuming and error-prone process of reverse...master thesis 2023

Bokel, Emma (author)The Artificial Social Agent(ASA) questionnaire serves as a tool to assess the interaction between humans and ASA\cite{OGQuestionnaire}. In an effort to increase the number of people who can make use of the questionnaire, previous work has been done to translate this questionnaire to Mandarin Chinese\cite{Chinese}. To increase the number of...bachelor thesis 2023

Hensman, Johan (author)Artificial social agents (ASAs) are systems designed to interact with humans in a socially intelligent manner. As the field of robotics is rapidly advancing, some studies focused on creating more effective agents by analysing how people perceive them. However, culture affects people’s perception of ASAs. So, cultural aspects must be examined in...bachelor thesis 2023

Ilieva, Mira (author)This research delves into the exploration of translation methods between affect representation schemes within the domain of text content analysis. We assess their performance on various affect analysis tasks while concurrently developing a robust evaluation framework. Furthermore, we collect annotated datasets and take into account crucial...bachelor thesis 2023

Elbertse, Mitchel (author)Autonomous vehicles are becoming increasingly prevalent in society, but the transition from active driver to passive passenger is known to increase the risk and severity of motion sickness. Motion anticipation is a critical factor in this difference, and visual information is known to be a major contributor to motion anticipation. However, the...master thesis 2023

Moerman, Marco (author)Compliant mechanisms are a popular alternative to conventional mechanisms because of their advantages on mass reduction, friction, backlash and lubrication. However, the major drawback in the use of compliant mechanisms is the stiffness is the desired direction of motion. The advantages of conventional and compliant mechanisms can be combined if...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

Edixhoven, Tom (author)In this work we show how Group Equivariant Convolutional Neural Networks use subsampling to learn to break equivariance to their symmetries. We focus on the 2D roto-translation group and investigate the impact of broken equivariance on network performance. We show that changing the input dimension of a network by as little as a single pixel can...master thesis 2023

Hädrich Silva, R. (author), Stead, D. (author), Zwarteveen, Margreet (author), Kuzniecow Bacchin, T. (author)The Netherlands has initiated a process of ‘policy boosterism’ that attempts to make Dutch urban water culture and its associated imaginary of water sensitivity fit for global export. This strategic shift depends on the collaboration of a mosaic of actors, private and non-private to promote knowledge sharing between countries. As this new...conference paper 2023

(author), Pijnappels, Daniël A. (author)Background: Optogenetics could offer a solution to the current lack of an ambulatory method for the rapid automated cardioversion of atrial fibrillation (AF), but key translational aspects remain to be studied. Objective: To investigate whether optogenetic cardioversion of AF is effective in the aged heart and whether sufficient light...journal article 2023

Chen, Yunjie (author), Staring, M. (author), Wolterink, Jelmer M. (author), Tao, Q. (author)In radiological practice, multi-sequence MRI is routinely acquired to characterize anatomy and tissue. However, due to the heterogeneity of imaging protocols and contraindications to contrast agents, some MRI sequences, e.g. contrast-enhanced T1-weighted image (T1ce), may not be acquired. This creates difficulties for large-scale clinical...conference paper 2023

Godino, E. (author), Restrepo Sierra, A.M. (author), Danelon, C.J.A. (author)The reconstitution of basic cellular functions in micrometer-sized liposomes has led to a surge of interest in the construction of synthetic cells. Microscopy and flow cytometry are powerful tools for characterizing biological processes in liposomes with fluorescence readouts. However, applying each method separately leads to a compromise...journal article 2023

Zhang, Y. (author)Multi-stable beam-type metastructures exhibiting snap-through behavior have been extensively studied in recent years , as their stable states can be maintained without the need of external power supply. By arranging a series of beams exhibiting bi-stability, multi-stable metastructures can be constructed. However, current designs of multi-stable...doctoral thesis 2022

Voorintholt, Derk (author), Minkman, E. (author), Gverdtsiteli, Gvantsa (author)Based on a qualitative case study in An Giang province, Vietnam, we mapped the understanding of the ‘Living with Floods’ (LWF) concept and the implementation of three projects to explain the effectiveness of water governance in Vietnam. We have demonstrated how perceptions on the LWF concept differ per government level and the limits of water...journal article 2022

Chazottes, Jean-René (author), Redig, F.H.J. (author)For a general class of lattice spin systems, we prove that an abstract Gaussian concentration bound implies positivity of the lower relative entropy density. As a consequence, we obtain uniqueness of translation-invariant Gibbs measures from the Gaussian concentration bound in this general setting. This extends earlier results with a different...journal article 2022

de Pagter, B. (author), Ricker, Werner J. (author)Let E be a translation invariant Banach function space over an infinite compact abelian group G and M<sub>φ</sub> be a Fourier multiplier operator (with symbol φ) acting on E. It is assumed that E has order continuous norm and that E is reflection invariant (which ensures that φ̄ is also a multiplier symbol for E). The following Fuglede type...journal article 2022

Zhang, H. (author), Nijhuis, S. (author), Newton, C.E.L. (author)Water is a critical element of human existence and has shaped cities for centuries. In urban environments, water provides multiple ecosystem services and is an important element in the design of urban environments. Next to the many qualities and services provided by water, recent research indicates that exposure to freshwater blue space also...review 2022

Rocha, Rodrigo C.O. (author), Sprokholt, D.G. (author), Fink, Martin (author), Gouicem, Redha (author), Spink, Tom (author), Chakraborty, S.S. (author), Bhatotia, Pramod (author)The emergence of new architectures create a recurring challenge to ensure that existing programs still work on them. Manually porting legacy code is often impractical. Static binary translation (SBT) is a process where a program's binary is automatically translated from one architecture to another, while preserving their original semantics....conference paper 2022

As a matter of fact, we report several translation errors in QEMU,...conference paper 2022
