Sleeping is an important part of human life as multiple sleep restriction studies have shown. However, its function is not yet completely understood even though researchers have been performing sleep experiments for years. These experiments require sleep stage scoring, which as of this moment is done …

The following paper presents an innovative approach for dealing with complex capacity problems in aviation. We introduce a sliding window framework composed by an optimization method with a simulation component. By applying this framework in diverse problems that are dependent on time it is possible …

A few years ago the Dutch government set goals for sustainability. These goals include switching to fully sustainable energy production by 2050. Using only conventional sustainable energy production methods like solar panels and wind turbines will not result in achieving the set goals, so alternative …

With sufficient electrical energy CO2 from the atmosphere, combined with water, can be converted to hydrocarbons. The first step in converting CO2 into a carbon based fuel is the dissociation of CO2 into CO and O. DIFFER explores the possibilities of this process by using a microwave plasma. This project …
