Radionuclide therapy is an important cancer treatment modality that makes use of the local irradiation from radionuclides at the tumor sites. Radiopharmaceuticals are normally composed of three components: radionuclide, carrier and tumor targeting agent. In terms of the radionuclide carriers, macrocyclic and acyclic chelators are commonly used...

The effect of creating parallel welds in a single overlap using continuous ultrasonic welding on the weld quality has been investigated, with the goal of creating three high-quality parallel welds. To achieve this, multiple aspects were examined to understand the creation of high-quality parallel welds. The weld quality is highly influenced by a...

The reimbursement scheme in geriatric rehabilitation (GR) contains stepwise tariffs depending on both the length of stay and treatment intensity: after a pre-determined number of inpatient days or treatment hours, the total reimbursement jumps to a higher level and then stays constant until the next threshold is reached. These discontinuous...

Recognition justice is a form of justice that is achieved when people from different backgrounds can participate in society as peers, without having to assimilate to a dominant party. It is currently not being represented in climate change or conflict models.<br/><br/>This research aims to conceptualise recognition justice for use in agent-based...

Manss, C. (author)
The operation of robotic systems on extraterrestrial missions involves long distance communications, which have large delays and make the control of any agent complicated. This problem becomes even more dominant if multiple robotic systems are used. One solution to this problem is to increase the autonomy of each robotic system such that each...

Pelka, S. (author)
The potential of households to adapt their energy use to the conditions of the energy system remains largely untapped due to shortcomings in consumer governance (i.e., the organization of household energy use). A lack of price signals and services leads to uncoordinated household energy use. Various proposals exist for updating consumer...

Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials have attracted the interest of the scientific community following the discovery of graphene and its extraordinary properties. Of particular interest is a class of materials called transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). The materials within this class were discovered to show similarly...

Malnutrition is worsening, affecting every country and over 3 billion people. There is evidence that rising CO<sub>2</sub> levels will not only indirectly increase malnutrition through climate change effects, but also directly through a downshift in the plant ionome, reducing nutritional quality and increasing hidden hunger. Attempts to...

Spiking neural networks implemented for sensing and control of robots have the potential to achieve lower latency and power consumption by processing information sparsely and asynchronously. They have been used on neuromorphic devices to estimate optical flow for micro air vehicles navigation, however robotic implementations have been limited to...

The transport sector needs to change to meet some of the global challenges we face: climate change, population growth and urbanisation. It needs to become more sustainable, which is why the Netherlands wants to introduce more high-quality bus systems. However, there are some barriers to implementing these systems.<br/><br/>In this thesis,...

For some, smart home living is a sign of the future, and provides an opportunity to solve major societal problems. For others, it is just a vague buzzword. This thesis project sought to explore the potential implications of living with smart and connected technologies in our most private spaces and to engage non-experts in a conversation about...

Considering that the IoT is giving rise to new sensing infrastructures with stringent requirements, we are posed with new trade-offs. On one hand, there is a need to develop systems that have a low cost, complexity, and ecological footprint, while being privacy-aware. On the other hand, despite these constraints, there is a need to still...

This study addresses the revenue losses from network congestion of an Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) resulting from the implementation of an Offshore Bidding Zone (OBZ) and explores potential measures to mitigate these effects. The quantitative analysis involves a model that simulates a hypothetical OWF located in the North Sea between Norway and the...

Supercritical CO<sub>2</sub> (SCO<sub>2</sub>) is a promising alternative to traditional working fluids in heat pumps and power cycles due to its high density, thermal efficiency, and stability. These properties allow for the design of more compact and efficient equipment. However, accurately modeling supercritical heat transfer, especially near...

The introduction of Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) is set to change the operation on all levels of Air Traffic Control (ATC), including aerodrome control. Here, adherence to a planned four-dimensional trajectory is important to achieve a stable operation. At the same time, this concept provides possibilities for support tools to be used in...
