Plan Quality Assurance for a 1.5 T MR-linac
(2024)Quality assurance in radiotherapy involves a process of verification to ensure that each patient receives treatment as specifically prescribed by their radiation oncologist. Currently, various 3D quality assurance systems ... -
Predicting Failures in Simulated Turbulence Data with Machine Learning Techniques
(2024)Earthquake prediction has long been thought to be nearly impossible. However, machine learning gives us new possibilities to investigate. Machine learning has already been successfully applied to "lab-quakes", but these ... -
Sparks of life: The shocking role of bioelectricity in pattern formation
(2024)The role of bioelectricity in living systems has been studied for a long time. Now, with the development of novel molecular tools, advancements in fields such as machine learning, and the ever-increasing computing power, ... -
Assessing the impact of stony coral tissue loss disease on coral cover in Bonaire's reef ecosystems
(2024)This MSc thesis presents a comprehensive investigation into the effects of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) on Bonaire's coral reefs following its first sighting in March 2023. Through a series of surveys over the ... -
Component recommendation system
(2024)The choice of software components is a crucial task in software engineering that has a big impact on the output and success of a project. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the use of knowledge-based recommendation ... -
Evaluating Clicker Training as a Novel Refinement Method for Reducing Stress in Laboratory Mice During and After Subcutaneous Injection
(2024)The main aim of this study was to investigate if clicker training laboratory mice to stand still during a subcutaneous (SC) injection with minimal restraint could effectively reduce stress both during and after the injection, ... -
Refinement is but a Click Away: Exploring Clicker Training as a Stress-Reduction Method for Mice Undergoing Minimal-Restraint Intraperitoneal Injections
(2024)This study investigated the effectiveness of clicker training as a refinement method to reduce stress in mice undergoing minimal-restraint intraperitoneal injections. This minimal-restraint injection method required only ... -
Decoding visual working memory in a dynamic context
(2024)Visual working memory (VWM) is the brain’s mechanism for briefly retaining visual information for imminent goal-directed behavior. Existing research has pointed to different brain areas for VWM storage, prompting a discussion. ... -
In Pursuit of Sustainable Road Construction
(2024)Abstract The Dutch road construction sector is seeking environmental impact reduction for asphalt and in particularly asphalt binders. Within the CIRCUROAD project, three prototype circular and bio-based asphalt binders ... -
Diaspora sine fine: Archaeological, epigraphical, and papyrological evidence for Jewish settlement evidence in the first six centuries CE
(2024)In this thesis the dataset compiled of Jewish archaeological, epigraphical, and papyrological evidence is central to the research. All of the evidence that make up the dataset are coming from the Mediterranean basin in the ... -
Combining nature based design and ecosystem services within urban development planning
(2024)Rapid urbanisation in cities like Eindhoven have caused the nature around the river Dommel to become less present. The coming years the cities plans to reintroduce more nature back into the city in one of the neighbourhoods ... -
Intraseasonal atmospheric variability under different climate trends
(2024)Low order climate models can play an impor- tant role in understanding low frequency vari- ability in the atmospheric circulation and how it can be affected by trends in the forcing consistent with climate change. A ... -
Histological analysis of Static Cold Storage vs Hypothermic Machine Perfusion in porcine hearts
(2024)Heart failure is a growing health issue and a frequent cause of mortality worldwide. Heart transplantation is the current gold standard to treat people that suffer from end-stage heart disease. Even though there has been ... -
