This graduation project focuses on improving the understanding and analysis of complex business processes that are difficult to manage due to inconsistencies, lack of standardisation, and poor interoperability between systems. The project is situated in the domain of business process modelling and simulation, …

This study compares three farm-scale biogas utilization pathways—combined heat and power (CHP), biogas upgrading, and bio-methanation—using process simulation and life cycle assessment to identify the most suitable option for on-farm application. Bio-methanation showed the highest practical energy efficiency, …

Power-to-X technologies play a crucial role in accelerating the energy and material transition. A key opportunity lies in integrating these systems with existing bio-based infrastructures such as anaerobic digesters, providing a reliable source of biogenic carbon. Developing effective Power-to-Methanol …

Traditional non-linear models offer Dutch municipalities limited insight into the social behaviour of local stakeholders, even though this behaviour largely determines the success of policies in complex sociotechnical systems. This study addresses the following research question: “How can an agent-based …

Simulation-based assessment is an effective method for evaluating the competence of individuals in emergency situations. Certain skills are challenging to assess since they cannot be simulated. Consequently, participants need to engage in discursive work to facilitate practice and assessment of unsimulable …

A modified genetic algorithm (MGA) optimization procedure, alongside time series machine learning (ML) classifiers, is proposed to minimize handovers in a digital twin-based visible light communication (VLC) system. Frequent handovers have a direct impact on the overall performance of the VLC system …

This research aims to evaluate the usability, efficiency, user satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness of different augmented reality hardware in the quality control process within a manufacturing environment. The study focuses on the application of AR technologies to enhance industrial practices, particularly …

To model individuals' experience of urban spaces, this study integrates knowledge from environmental psychology and artificial intelligence to propose a framework for individuals' perceptions and emotion by incorporating individual characteristics and cognitive appraisal together with environment attributes …

Background: Shared decision-making is one key element of interprofessional collaboration. Communication is often considered to be the main reason for inefficient or ineffective collaboration. Little is known about group dynamics in the process of shared decision-making in a team with professionals, including …

Introduction: Nursing students will come across stressful situations during their internships and will continue to do so in future practice. Because of the impact stress can have on performance, nursing students need to be equipped to work and collaborate in such situations. Careful consideration of …
