‘Makers Block, from craft to consumer in M4H district.’ The design of Makers Block connects the makers workplace with housing along three lines: living adjacent to making, living with making and living next to making. This happens on top of a double high plinth with studios in an ensemble of buildings, …

This thesis explores how column placement in a semi-sunken parking garage can be optimised to enhance traffic flow, maximise parking capacity, and reliably transfer structural loads from four residential floors above. The project is based on the Sea & City development in Vlissingen, the Netherlands—a …

In this work, in situ measurements of the radio frequency electromagnetic field exposure have been conducted for an indoor massive MIMO 5G base station operating at 26–28 GHz. Measurements were performed at six different positions (at distances between 9.94 and 14.32 m from the base station), of which …

This paper aims to present a comprehensive investigation to obtain the structural calculations needed to design a rigid panel of aluminum alloy for the wing box beam of an ATR 72–500 aircraft. For this design process, several types of materials, including composites like CFRP, are considered so it is …

We describe here the design and implementation of the Fashion Tech Farm (FTF), which aims to drive sustainable innovation in garments and fashion. We describe our goals, design principles, and the implementation. The design principles are rooted in an understanding of the fashion system, open networks, …

While writing this report, the construction is ongoing of the Oosterweel Connection project of the ring of Antwerp ongoing. This project is about completing the ring of Antwerp from West to North around the city. This project aims to improve the connectivity around the city and the port of Antwerp. A …

Study objective: The three-dimensional shape of the ultrasound beam produces a thicker scan plane than most users assume. Viewed longitudinally, a needle placed lateral to a vessel just outside the central scanning plane can be displayed incorrectly in the ultrasound image as if placed intravascularly. …

The goal of this thesis is achieving saturation intensity of 76.5 mW/cm2for 2S1/2F=1 - 2P1/2F = 2 transition in singly-ionized beryllium ions (Be+). By enlarging the optical power of a laser diode at 626.266 nm via a bow-tie cavity and converting to 313.133 nm using Second Harmonic Generation in a nonlinear …

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 …

Cone beam CT scanners use much less radiation than to normal CT scans. However, compared to normal CT scans the images are noisy, showing several artifacts. The UNet Convolutional Neural Network may provide a way to reconstruct the a CT image from cone beam scans.
