Risk-Averse Predictive Maintenance Scheduling with Distributional Reinforcement Learning using Data-Driven Probabilistic Prognostics
(2024)Maintenance scheduling for complex industrial systems, such as turbo jet engines, is critical for ensuring operational efficiency and safety. While data-driven prognostics have shown potential for improving predictive ... -
Tiny Object Detection in Video with Transformers using Temporal Context
(2024)Tiny object detection in video footage using computer vision models has a wide range of applications. Following an overview of relevant deep learning methods and related work done in this field, this paper explores the ... -
How can the application of fungi enhance sustainable agricultural practices, and what are the potential benefits for crop yields, soil health, and ecosystem resilience?
(2024)This review explores the potential of fungi to enhance sustainable agricultural practices, through increasing crop yield, improving soil health, and providing ecosystem resilience. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi play a pivotal ... -
Structural Similarity in Inverse Problems
(2024)This thesis provides a theoretical basis for applying structural similarity to joint inverse problems with gradient-based variational regularization. This study develops an over-arching formulation for these types of ... -
Petit Buëch River Dynamics and Bank Erosion
(2024)This study investigates river morphology dynamics and bank erosion along the floodplain of the Buëch River in the Hautes-Alpes province of south-eastern France using multi-temporal images acquired from Unmanned Airborne ... -
Extraterrestrial Mass Wasting: Comparing Landslides Across the Solar System
(2024)In this review, mass wasting processes on rocky celestial bodies in our Solar System are investigated. Their occurance is explored on the selected moons, planets, asteroids and comets: the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Ceres, Vesta, ... -
Patients’ experiences and needs on the pharmacotherapeutic care during admission and transmural care after hospital discharge: A qualitative research.
(2024)Background: Patients with polypharmacy have an increased risk of medication related hospital admissions. These admissions have a potential preventability. Studies regarding interventions to improve the transitional ... -
Computational analysis of water shortage mitigation measures in the IJsselmeer region
(2024)The increased frequency of droughts due to climate change has prompted national initiatives in the Netherlands to enhance resilience against water-related challenges, with the IJsselmeer region being crucial. To address ... -
The impact of visual imagery vividness in learning dynamic biological processes using visualizations
(2024)This study focused on the educational impact of displaying kinematic changes in visualizations when learning dynamic biological processes, exploring the influence of vividness of visual imagery and visual cognitive style ... -
Supporting reasoning skills with heuristic trees in pre-university mathematics
(2024)This research investigates the design of heuristic trees in supporting pre-university students in mathematical reasoning, as well as finding and formulating proofs within Dutch secondary education. The study addresses the ... -
Flip and rule - Exploring ways to test novel Pseudomonas bacteriophage-derived integrases
(2024)In recent years, reducing the environmental impact of various industries has become increasingly important. The genetic engineering* of bacteria can help to meet this need. Engineered bacteria have many sustainable ... -
The Effect of Hyaluronic Acid Coating on Transfection Efficiency and Cytotoxicity of mRNA-Delivering Lipid Nanoparticles on Primary T-cells for CAR T-cell Generation
(2024)Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a cancer therapy in which a patient’s own T-cells are engineered to express the chimeric antigen receptor, with which they can recognise and kill cancer cells. The therapy ... -
Flow around faults of the West Netherlands Basin in the context of geothermal energy
(2024)Over the past fifteen years, geothermal energy development has increased in the West Netherlands Basin (WNB), both onshore and offshore in the southwest of The Netherlands. Main target reservoirs here for geothermal energy ... -
Activation of Glycolytic Enzymes in Red Blood Cells for Therapeutic Purposes
(2024)Background: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a crucial enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway and pivotal for maintaining redox balance in red blood cells (RBCs). Deficiency in G6PD can lead to hemolytic anemia, ... -
Guiding macrophages to resolution: insights into the transcriptional pro-resolving mechanisms
(2024)The inflammatory response is a tightly regulated process, which is essential for maintaining immune homeostasis. When this regulation is out of balance, persistence of the inflammatory response can lead to the development ... -
Using a Mouse Model to Study the Role of PBRM1 Loss in the Development of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
(2024)A fundamental challenge when studying the evolution and origin of cancer is understanding the early events following oncogenic mutations. In the case of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the truncal event is the ... -
Calibration of a Landscape Evolution Model in an Alpine Region: on the value of in-situ observations and transferability
(2024)Landscape evolution models (LEMs) are physics-based simulations that evaluate the influence of geomorphic processes on regional landscape development over longer time periods. These processes are represented in a simplified ...
