Estimating the distribution of SOH and RUL of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL) batteries using Machine Learning algorithms
(2023)Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) involves a thorough analysis of the health condition of a machine and its components. In the field of battery management and PHM, the State of Health (SOH) and the Remaining Useful ... -
Generic Numerical Representations as Ornaments
(2023)The concept of numerical representations as defined by Okasaki [Oka98] explains how certain datastructures resemble number systems, and motivates how number sys- tems can be used as a basis to design datastructures. Using ... -
A Microfluidic Approach To Personalized Drug Sensitivity Profiling In High-Risk Neuroblastoma
(2023)In Neuroblastoma (NB), treatment burden reaches its limit, especially in high-risk (HR) patients with poor prognoses. Molecular characterization may help to identify new predictive biomarkers. Study MAPPYACTS showed that ... -
Statistical Downscaling of Snow Cover Fraction in Svalbard
(2023)The Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic is one of the fastest warming areas on the planet, with important consequences for birds that migrate to the region. Resultant changes in the timing of the spring snow melt have an ... -
A Group Recommender System for Avatars in Exergames to Increase Physical Activity
(2023)This research investigates the potential effect of a group recommender system for avatars on users’ physical activity during the gameplay of an exergame. This study aims to counteract the effects of the increase in sedentary ... -
RECOGNIZING IRREGULARITIES IN STACKED NANOPORE SIGNALS FROM IN SILICO PERMUTED SEQUENCING DATA
(2023)We present results of two attempts to improve irregularity (epigenetic modifications or damage) recognition in nanopore sequenced DNA signals. This was done on a limited dataset for proof of concept purposes. The first ... -
Nanopore methylation detection in the non-model organism Verticillium dahliae
(2023)The DNA of an organism encodes the blueprint necessary for all cellular functions. However, the expression of this code varies in each cell. This variation is, in part, attributed to DNA methylation. Which is a modification ... -
Governance & Value chain Upgrading in circular food collaborations in the Netherlands
(2023)Food production is a primary cause of biodiversity loss and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This paper emphasises the need for a more sustainable food value chain through circular economy principles. The existing research ... -
Operationalising intergenerational justice for long-term geological storage and disposal
(2023)Intergenerational justice concerns itself with the just distribution of risks and benefits across generations, including people thousands of years into the future, and is inherent in the concept of sustainability. For two ... -
Love and Rage: How Extinction Rebellion's approach to navigating tensions can advance the co-creation of sustainability transitions
(2023)Sustainability transitions require stakeholders of all areas to collaborate and co-create. Doing so, they are faced with tensions through conflicting ideas. While previous research has highlighted the productive and ... -
MOLECULAR MECHANISMS AND INTERACTIONS AT THE NODE OF RANVIER: A STRUCTURAL PERSPECTIVE
(2023)Action potentials are conducted along axons in a saltatory fashion, being reinforced periodically at the nodes of Ranvier (NOR), where there is a gap in the myelin sheath that covers the axon. The NOR is organized into ... -
Building for longevity: the potential of biophilic design in creating healthier living environments.
(2023)Cartesius is a neighborhood that will arise in Utrecht, with the goal of establishing a neighborhood where residents can enjoy healthier and longer lives. It draws inspiration from principles found in the Blue Zones, regions ... -
A Formalization of the Algebraic Small Object Argument in UniMath
(2023)Model categories, introduced by Quillen in 1967, form the cornerstone of modern homotopy theory, providing a language and tools for this branch of mathematics. They consist of two interacting weak factorization systems. ... -
Vision Transformers for Pain Recognition on Thermal Image Frames
(2023)Pain remains a phenomenon that is not fully understood scientifically, even though poorly managed pain severely impacts the individuals involved. Therefore, a valid and reliable pain assessment is necessary to manage pain ... -
Bioprinting of liver cells for whole tissue engineering: An overview
(2023)The liver is often affected by diseases requiring liver transplantation. However, the shortage of donor livers poses a significant challenge, exacerbating morbidity and mortality among liver disease patients. The unmet ... -
Value-Oriented Approach to Socially Assistive Robots Design for Young Adults’ Mental Health
(2023)This thesis aims to explore the potential of Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) for mental health support of young adults with emotional complaints by initiating a value-oriented design process. In line with the AI4SG-VSD ... -
The Health Impacts of Zoning Designations In Chicago
(2023)This research inquires about the extent of the impact of zoning on the health of neighborhood residents, utilizing Chicago as a focus. More specifically it seeks to answer to what extent and through what mechanisms do ... -
Upscaling soil and vegetation measurements in an alpine catchment using remote sensing and statistical modelling
(2023)Soil texture is an important soil physical property that determines water availability, nutrient availability and growth of vegetation. The growth of plant species and development of high-alpine soils are shifting in alpine ... -
Quantification of sediment deposition in the Mekong Delta: an assessment of sedimentation in integrated Mangrove-Shrimp farms in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam
(2023)The Mekong Delta is under threat from natural and anthropogenic disruptions. With no action taken, the coastal parts of the delta could almost disappear by the end of this century due to relative sea level rise (RSLR). ...
