Learn your way: How User Autonomy Shapes Intrinsic Motivation in Gamified Learning 
(2025)This research will investigate how providing users with autonomy, a core psychological need in Self-Determination Theory (SDT) alongside competence and relatedness, can enhance intrinsic motivation and engagement. For the ... - 
Gamifying Neural Network Training: A VR-Based Learning Experience for Beginners 
(2025)Learning how neural networks work is challenging for beginners due to their abstract and mathematical nature. We present a gamified Virtual Reality (VR) system that teaches forward and backward propagation through embodied ... - 
High-resolution groundwater modelling in complex terrain: Coupling PCR-GLOBWB and MODFLOW at 1 km resolution for the Piave and Tagliamento basins in Northern Italy 
(2025)Hydrological models are increasingly advancing towards hyper-resolution to capture fine-scale processes that govern groundwater–surface water interactions. Yet, it remains unclear whether increasing model resolution or ... - 
Comparing Alignment and Morphing Methods for Generating Intermediate Fonts 
(2025)Deze thesis richt zich op het toepassen van morphing algoritmes op lettertypes. Het doel is om verschillende combinaties van alignment en morphing methodes met elkaar te vergelijken om de beste 'intermediate fonts' ... - 
Characterizing kinetochore size in the spatial organization of chromosomes during metaphase alignment 
(2025)To maintain genomic integrity, cells rely on accurate chromosome segregation during mitosis, which in turn depends on faithful progression through the mitotic phases. Proper attachment of microtubules to chromosomes is ... - 
Richer Life Histories: A Realist Synthesis of History Taking in Homelessness Care 
(2025)Objective: To examine how interventions support history taking for people experiencing homelessness, and to identify the contexts and mechanisms that enable fuller life histories to be shared in healthcare encounters. Design: ... -
