Digital Heritage in Transit: An Investigation into Online Heritage Narratives about Underground Metropolitan Transportation Networks
(2025)This thesis explores how metro systems and social media platforms function as infrastructures in the production, diffusion, and deliberation of cultural heritage narratives. By analyzing digital content produced about the ... -
TEC IT OR LEAVE IT: SITE-SPECIFIC FLUORESCENT LABELLING OF ALKENES
(2025)The ability to selectively label proteins with fluorescent tags is essential for studying biological processes in real time. This project explored thiol–ene click (TEC) chemistry as a site-specific, bioorthogonal protein ... -
Electrode Selection for an Electrochemical Sensor for Perfluorooctanoic Acid using Molecularly Imprinted Polymers
(2025)An electrochemical PFAS-sensor for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) using moleculary imprinted polymer (MIP) is made. Electropolymerization is used for the synthesis of a MIP layer for PFOA on top of an electrode. The MIP ... -
Limitations of Azide-Alkyne Chemistry in Genetic Code Expansion
(2025)Genetic code expansion (GCE) has enabled the incorporation of non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) into proteins, offering powerful opportunities for site-specific labelling and functionalization. Among these, azide- and ... -
Solving the Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem with Alternative Process Plans
(2025)This thesis addresses the Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) with three extensions: Sequence-Dependent Setup Times (SDST), Blocking tasks and Alternative Process Plans (APPs). The research evaluates the efficacy ... -
Generalized Lotka Volterra equations and maximal independent sets
(2025)In applied mathematics and theoretical biology pattern formation is often modelled by partial differential equations, especially of the reaction-diffusion type. In this thesis however we will study pattern formation on ... -
Model's Self-adaptability for prescriptive process monitoring in drifting environment: A comparative study between Reinforcement Learning techniques
(2025)This study investigates the self-adaptive capabilities of various reinforcement learn- ing (RL) models—including Q-learning, Deep Q-Networks (DQN), Action Pickup RL, Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), and Meta-RL—in ... -
Temporal Variability in Ultra-weak Photon Emission: A Time Series Analysis of Photon Count Data
(2025)This study examined the temporal dynamics of ultra-weak photon emission (UPE) from the hands and the effect of transient blood flow restriction on emission patterns. Photon counts from dorsal and palmar surfaces were ... -
Cross-team comparison in agile methods
(2025)This study investigates which Agile metrics are most effective for tracking team performance and whether they can be applied for performance comparison across different teams. While Agile methodologies are widely used in ... -
On & Off Time: Navigating Digital Use and Mental Health Through Play.
(2025)Due to the simultaneous increase of mental health problems and digital use, there has been a rising concern for the possible influence of screen time on mental health. Prior research has identified links between increased ... -
Rooted in Regeneration: Comparative Insights from Plant Root Regeneration and Plant Embryogenesis to Hydra Regeneration.
(2025)Regeneration is a biological process observed across diverse organ- isms, however sparingly. This review explores the mechanisms gov- erning root tip regeneration in plants, drawing parallels with plant embryogenesis and ... -
Does ESG increase the probability that a company will emerge from zombie status successfully? Evidence from European Companies
(2025)Based on the panel data of European listed companies from 2015 to 2023, this study adopts a combination of theoretical and empirical methods to investigate the mechanism of ESG and sub-dimension performance on the probability ... -
Improving Data Quality: A Review on DataCentric AI and AI-Actionable Data
(2025)Artificial Intelligence (AI) has shown remarkable potential in recent years, particularly in fields such as cancer diagnostics. These systems are increasingly being used for tasks like tumor identification, cancer type ... -
Modeling Lexical Access in Comprehension
(2025)This thesis investigates lexical access by applying information-theoretic measures to quantify the complexity of verb processing in comprehension. It examines the effects of two key factors: Information (I), representing ... -
Chaos under a New Roof: Voices from Inside the Beijing Tongwen Guan (1862–1900)
(2025)This thesis reexamines the Beijing Tongwen Guan (1862–1900), the Qing dynasty’s first state school for foreign languages and sciences. Moving beyond the conventional narrative of modernization, it combines the perspectives ...
