Spatial distribution of bed level changes and responsible sediment exchanges across the Dutch shoreface
(2022)The lower shoreface is an important part of the coast because it is the foundation of the beach and dunes that prevent the hinterland from flooding. The lower shoreface has been under reviewed and sediment transport and ... -
A Disease Mapping for Elithia
(2022)There are plenty of medical conditions, each of them with its own unmet medical needs. NLC is a health-tech venture builder that aims to tackle these unmet medical needs by building startups. NLC builds startups through ... -
Investigating reflective food tracking and the effect of domain knowledge on personal information system users
(2022)Global malnutrition is one of the worlds greatest health challenges. Various human computer interaction approaches to aid people in achieving healthier eating behaviour have been developed over the time. These approaches ... -
Levels of Relationality: Understanding relational quantum mechanics through Nāgārjuna
(2022)Carlo Rovelli explores aspects of the relational and non-foundational character of his relational interpretation of quantum mechanics (RQM) through ancient Indian thinker Nāgārjuna (ca. 150 C.E.–250 C.E.). This study aims ... -
Explainable Online Reinforcement Learning Using Abstract Argumentation
(2022)The democratisation of deep learning (DL) in recent years has led to an increasing presence of DL algorithms influencing our everyday lives, from recommending us our next book to deciding whether we are granted a loan or ... -
A Single-Cell Approach To Gene Regulatory Network Analysis of The Human Cornea
(2022)The outmost layer of the cornea, the corneal epithelium, is maintained by stem cells in the limbus called limbal stem cells. Cells in the cornea shift their cell type in a process called stratification. For cells involved ... -
The long-term bio-geomorphic development of foredune blowouts quantified from PlanetScope imagery and Airborne LiDAR data
(2022)Nowadays the Dutch coastal dune management is focussing more on ‘dynamic preservation’ of the foredunes whereby it is the objective to enhance dune biodiversity and elevate the hinterland to keep up with the sea level rise. ... -
The Impact of Virtual Reality on Social Processes in Escape Rooms
(2022)Educational escape rooms have been used for a while, but almost all require the players to be in the same room. This is still true when looking at most digital escape rooms. A way to have people experience the same escape ... -
Online weighted throughput maximization scheduling with a busy-time budget
(2022)In this paper, we consider an online scheduling problem, weighted throughput maximization scheduling with a busy-time budget. In this problem, jobs are released with released times rj , processing times pj , and deadlines ... -
Equitable transformation, transforming equality: A grounded theory study on the role of equality and equity in research and policies for transformative change
(2022)This study aimed to explore the role that equality and equity plays in transformations research, and how it can be integrated further by asking the research question: How are the issues of equality and equity incorporated ... -
A viewpoint-driven comparison of 3D vs 2D projections of high-dimensional data
(2022)Dimensionality reduction is a popular data visualization technique that projects high-dimensional data to a low-dimensional space (2D or 3D) while preserving distance and/or neighborhood relations between points. The ... -
To the standard model and beyond, A theoretical and experimental study of Leptoquark phenomenology and its traces in LFV $B \rightarrow \tau\mu$ decays in theory and with LHCb
(2022)In recent years a number of experimental measurements in the field of flavour physics have showed hints towards a source of physics beyond the Standard Model. Theoretical studies have been performed to understand how new ... -
Difference in User Types of User-Generated Playlist Creation on Music Streaming Platforms
(2022)Music streaming heavily influenced the way we listen to music. Research has shown that nowadays music is perceived mainly in the background accompanying other activities. Many streaming users therefore create playlists to ... -
The Effect of Deep Learning-based Source Separation on Predominant Instrument Classification in Polyphonic Music
(2022)Music instrument classification is the task of detecting individual music instruments in music tracks. It remains a challenging task, particularly in polyphonic music. Prior research has shown that analytical-based music ... -
Predicting diagnoses of patients in the Emergency Room: a multi-label text classification approach
(2022)Artificial Intelligence (AI) models have big potential in the medical domain because there is so much data available. Previous research shows promising implementations of AI in the medical domain. This thesis aims to build ... -
Skewed Selective Acquisition: Sampling Bias in Active Learning and its Influence on Operational Classification Performance
(2022)Active learning aims to provide supervised learning models with highly informative and succinct data, but can also introduce sampling bias as the resulting labelled dataset often no longer follows the original data ... -
Accepting the complexity: advance in denaturing top-down proteomics in complex biological systems
(2022)Proteins act as central players in molecular events and are subject to variations at the DNA, RNA and PTM levels. These variations result in highly complex and dynamic proteoforms that form the human proteome. Since the ... -
Shaping the changing landscape of clinical evidence: a multi-stakeholder perspective on the feasibility of a pay-for-proof pricing model for improved access to innovative drugs in the Netherlands
(2022)After a novel drug has obtained market authorization in the EU, decisions must be made on a national level regarding the reimbursement of the treatment. This process is often informed by Health Technology Assessment (HTA) ...
