Vehicle Routing Problem with Wind and Load dependent Travel Times (VRPWLTT)
(2024)With increased e-commerce, the planning of last mile delivery has gained importance over the years. In light of dense urban areas and sustainability concerns, electric cargo bikes are well fit for this task. Due to constraints ... -
Monthly hurdles at work: investigating the relationship between period pain and contextual performance and the role of presenteeism and workaholism
(2024)Drawing from the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between period pain and contextual performance through workaholism. The relationship between period pain ... -
Homogeneous complex fractional Gaussian fields
(2024)Where local boundary value problems are related to classical derivatives, non-local problems are stated in terms of fractional derivatives. We focus on the fractional Laplacian and its domain, which is a complex Hilbert ... -
The phononic Klein paradox using magneto-elastic coupling
(2024)In this Thesis we will investigate how phonons and magnons interact with each other. Using the Klein paradox, where matter-antimatter interactions can cause interesting phenomena in scattering theory. In this thesis we ... -
