This thesis discusses the progress made on the development of superficial hyperthermia treatment planning. For superficial hyperthermia treatment, contact flexible microstrip applicators (CFMA) are used. These applicators are bent along the body curvature of the patient. A software tool, written in …

Côte d’Ivoire produces about 42 percent of the world’s total Cocoa but processes only a very few amount of the production. A big part of the country depends on the commercial benefits of the Cocoa production and supply chain of it. For that reason, the World Bank asked the simulation group of the Amsterdam …

An important issue in the field of motion control of wheeled mobile robots is that the design of most controllers is based only on the robot’s kinematics. However, when high-speed movements and/or heavy load transportation are required, it becomes essential to consider the robot dynamics as well. The …

Het doel van dit onderzoek is te onderzoeken onder welke omstandigheden en onder welke condities relatief moderne modelleringstechnieken zoals support vector machines, neural networks en random forests voordelen zouden kunnen hebben in medisch-wetenschappelijk onderzoek en in de medische praktijk in …

In certain conditions, (part of) an oil spill can disappear from the water surface through a process called natural dispersion. One available oil spill response option is to enhance this process by addition of dispersants (chemical dispersion). An informed decision for such response requires insight …

Simulation transparency is becoming more crucial in the decision making process when quantitative computer tools are used to justify some strategies.

Glucocorticoids (GCs) such as prednisolone are potent immunosuppressive drugs but suffer from severe adverse effects, including the induction of insulin resistance. Therefore, development of so-called Selective Glucocorticoid Receptor Modulators (SGRM) is highly desirable. Here we describe a non-steroidal …
