Intelligent unit testing: how reasoning can improve automated testing
(2023)The thesis provides an alternative approach to automated software testing. This novel ap- proach is based on an intelligent BDI agent that is later extended in a multi-agent environment consisting on custom and third-party ... -
A discrete Ginzburg-Landau functional for regularised tomographic image reconstruction
(2023)Tomographic imaging has a wide range of applications including in medicine and in industry because of its non-destructive nature. Ideally, accurate images can be retrieved using high-quality fully sampled computed tomography ... -
Understanding heterochromatin redistribution in mouse retina by designing and implementing a novel reporter cell-line in retinal organoids
(2023)In eukaryotic cells, DNA is packed in the form of chromatin distributed three-dimensionally. This allows for the control of gene expression based on the location of chromatin. Euchromatin is transcriptionally active and ... -
“How can SEE niche systems influence sustainable socio-technical transitions?” – the case of the European renovation sector
(2023)The construction sector contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, with materials like cement accounting for 8% of global CO2 emissions. To reduce its environmental impact, experts propose building renovations ... -
Quantum dissipative systems coupled fractionally to a bath
(2023)Quantum diffusion is a major topic in condensed-matter physics, and the Caldeira-Leggett model has been one of the most successful approaches to study this phenomenon. Here, we generalize this model by coupling the bath ... -

Analysis of Sustainable and Green Urbanism Discourses: Cases study of New Smart-forest City Kalimantan Indonesia
(2023)The green and sustainable urbanism discussion has become more crucial due to many new cities constructed. Moreover, “green” and “sustainable” cities have been promoted by many governments, developers, and intergovernmental ... -
Downscaling Forcing for Lake Garda using Neural Networks: Present & Future
(2023)Deep mixing events (DMEs) are an important aspect of the ecosystem in Lake Garda. To predict when DMEs will happen in the future, especially when considering climate change, a hydrodynamical model is used (such as Delft3D). ... -
Automating stress detection in a vertical farming environment using an autoencoder for anomaly detection
(2023)Feeding the world is becoming more challenging as the world’s population increases and many people are suffering from hunger. Vertical farming could be a way out, because it can improve the amount of food we can produce ... -
Proving What? On the Structure of Proof of Concept Research
(2023)In his Representing and Intervening, Hacking (1983) argues that, contrary to common belief, many phenomena which the natural sciences investigate do not exist as such in nature. Rather, they only exist in highly specific, ... -
The Influence of Perceived Gender on Robot Abuse
(2023)A growing interest in social robotics underscores the need for comprehensive research on human-robot interaction to inform responsible robot design and application. Gender dynamics is a contentious topic in human-robot ... -
Green space and academic success
(2023)The Dutch system of education has been praised for its high quality for years, and Dutch students are one of the highest educated in the world. However, it has been reported that Dutch school performances have been declining ... -
MEV in the Ethereum ecosystem and its implications for crypto venture capital investors
(2023)MEV presents itself as a particularly stubborn problem that is a unique emergent property introduced by blockchain-based DeFi systems. The semi-fixed block times within these networks generate a novel asynchronous system, ... -
The influence of patient-reported shared decision-making on the deprescribing of fall-risk-increasing drugs in older adults
(2023)Background - Falls in older adults are a common problem with major consequences. The use of fall-risk- increasing drugs (FRIDs) is one of the risk factors and deprescribing could therefore, hypothetically, reduce the risk ... -
Exploring Interactive Experiences to Browse Extensive 360° Video Libraries in Virtual Reality
(2023)The goal of this master’s thesis is to investigate the differences in experience and effectiveness among various three-dimensional visualizations of extensive libraries to access 360° videos in virtual reality (VR) with ... -
Klimaatzorgen in een onzekere toekomt
