Schouten, A.M. (author), Flipse, S.M. (author), van Nieuwenhuizen, Kim E. (author), Jansen, F.W. (author), van der Eijk, A.C. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, J.J. (author)Literature proposes numerous initiatives for optimization of the Operating Room (OR). Despite multiple suggested strategies for the optimization of workflow on the OR, its patients and (medical) staff, no uniform description of ‘optimization’ has been adopted. This makes it difficult to evaluate the proposed optimization strategies. In...review 2023

Calis, Ilse (author)Fabricating custom-made ocular prostheses is currently a highly-skilled, labour-intense and non-reproducible process performed by an ocularist. Custom-fit prostheses are made from acrylic using a plaster mould, the iris is hand-painted, and veins are mimicked by adding red embroidery threads. Digital production techniques provide opportunities...master thesis 2022

Mulder, Jelmer (author)In the Netherlands roughly 20.000 people wear an ocular prosthetic as a consequence of losing their eye due to an accident or disease. An ocular prosthetic is a type of facial prosthesis that replaces an absent natural eye. The main goal of an ocular prosthetic is to provide an aesthetic replacement of a real eye. It does not restore the ability...master thesis 2022

Kilkiş, San (author)Present Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE) applications do not facilitate collaborative processes due to lack of process formalization and orchestration capabilities, leading to ad-hoc solutions. This increases application development time, reduces re-usability, and increases the cognitive burden of users leading to decreased design efficiency....master thesis 2022

van der Zwaag, Marco (author)The transition to a circular economy requires reducing waste and rework in construction projects. Thereby, the evaluation of building circularity in the early design phase is of great importance. However, due to the current design workflow, such practice is hindered because there is not enough information to evaluate building circularity in...master thesis 2022

Ruijs, Laura (author)Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest types of cancer and generally has a 5-year survival rate of 5%. Surgery (pancreatoduodenectomy) is the only form of curative treatment for patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. If the tumour is operable, the resectability of the tumour depends on the level of tumour-vessel contact. Based on CT scans...master thesis 2022

Heezen, Mark (author)Many drugs cannot be made without homogeneous catalysis. To increase the yield of drug synthesis, the search for new catalysts continues. Computational catalysis is becoming a more prominent tool since it en- ables to screen many catalysts without performing (m)any laboratory experiments. In this research a com- putational workflow has been...bachelor thesis 2022

TSIFOUTIS KAZOLIS, Kostas (author)Mechanical metamaterials are materials that appear to have unusual elastic mechanical properties, with the most prominent being a negative Poisson’s ratio. The key to their unique properties lies in the microarchitecture of the material rather than the material itself. For advanced applications in the realm of prosthetics, such as form matching,...master thesis 2022
