More content has been created in the past few years than in the entire history of humankind. With the exponential growth of user-contributed content, it becomes increasingly important to develop systems capable to intelligently process both language and images.
While understanding language appears effortless for humans from a young age, for computers, this is quite a challenging task. Inherently, languages are ambiguous and rich. Many ...
The ornamental plant production sector produces high quality products, but faces challenges in times of increasing environmental constraints.
Growth patterns and nitrogen uptake dynamics of five ornamental crops were determined during three growing seasons (2016-2018). This resulted in nitrogen uptake quantities sufficient for optimum plant quality.
Open field production of herbaceous and woody ornamentals is characterized by a ...
Amylose (AM) is an almost linear glucose polymer. Together with amylopectin (AP), it makes up the bulk of granular starch. The AM content in regular starches ranges from 20 to 35%. It greatly influences the functionality of starch in aqueous systems. In fully gelatinized starch dispersions, AM crystallization plays a major role in gelation. In many food preparation protocols, AM network formation starts immediately after starch ...
The main aim of this thesis is to study quantum dynamics, with a focus on irreversible, dissipative dynamics, by collecting repeated observations and arranging them to form a process. This leads to quantum states of extended models with some simplifying features. The models explored here are quantum spins on Fermionic lattices and chains of quantum spins. We focus in particular on the randomising properties of the dynamics.
The thesis ...
The idea behind hybrid micromachining is to combine different machining processes/material removal mechanisms to enhance the capability/performance of state of the art manufacturing processes while still reaching economic feasibility. Hybrid laser-electrochemical micromachining involves coaxial and concurrent application of electrochemical and laser processes in the same machining zone. This project will conduct in-depth research into the ...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) emerge as organelles supporting cell-to-cell communication over short or long distances. They contribute to various physiological and pathological processes. They contribute to various systemic diseases, in particular cancer, neurodegeneration and pathogen invasion. EVs are limited by a lipid bilayer, and can be released by any type of cell. They have the same topology as the cell and contain a mixture of genetic ...
