Estimating the remaining useful life (RUL) of an asset lies at the heart of prognostics and health management (PHM) of many operations-critical industries such as aviation. Mod- ern methods of RUL estimation adopt techniques from deep learning (DL). However, most of these contemporary tech- niques deliver …

This report is the result of my internship at the research group Energy in Transition at The Hague University of Applied Sciences. The report shows the process and results from the development of a method to produce design and control advice to increase building energy flexibility based on open source …

The brand image of Tilburg as Textile City has faded with the downfall of the industry and the subsequent loss of most of the factory buildings in the city fabric. To commemorate this past and to make it part again of the DNA of Tilburg, the typical textile mill is taken up again and studied, to find …

The lingual papillae in the mouth hold taste buds with taste receptors for the five gustatory taste qualities. Each taste bud contains three distinct cell types, of which Type II cells …

The seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings with cavity walls is a relevant issue in many countries, such as in Central and Northern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, China and several other countries. A cavity wall consists of two separate parallel masonry walls (called leaves) connected …

In wheelchair sports, the use of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) has proven to be one of the most accessible ways for ambulatory measurement of wheelchair kinematics. A three-IMU configuration, with one IMU attached to the wheelchair frame and two IMUs on each wheel axle, has previously shown accurate …

Using AI to Prioritize Static Analysis FindingsIntroducing static code analysis tools into the development process can be difficult, with an overwhelming number of standards, rules, and practices to navigate. This can make the adoption of static analysis challenging, as unoptimized configurations can …

Background and purpose: Automatic approaches are widely implemented to automate dose optimization in radiotherapy treatment planning. This study systematically investigates how to configure automatic planning in order to create the best possible plans. Materials and methods: Automatic plans were generated …

Sense City is based on a study of environmental factors that could benefit people in the autistic spectrum to live on their own, in their own house or neighborhood, with their family or partner, individually or in a group. The project features several case studies houses, in different configurations, …
