Joksimović, Aleksandar (author), Brazier, F.M. (author), Carbonneau, Xavier (author), Vingerhoeds, Rob (author)An overwhelming abundance of innovative civil aeroplane concepts has been presented by the research community in recent decades. Their development has been motivated mainly by need for better operating energy, or in particular the fuel efficiency - the common objective variable for economic and environmental optimisation. This paper focuses on...conference paper 2024

Joksimović, Aleksandar (author), Carbonneau, Xavier (author), Brazier, F.M. (author), Vingerhoeds, Rob (author)This paper presents development of an innovative method for aeroplane system architecture design, based on the principles of causal networks. In light of the environmental crisis that the world faces, it is argued that the new design method should be motivated by sustainability values in the first place. This implies the necessity for a method...conference paper 2024

Vermeulen, A.C.J. (author), Papic, Alvaro (author), Nikolic, I. (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)Bioregenerative life support systems (BLSS) are vital for long-duration and remote space missions to increase mission sustainability. These systems break down human waste materials into nutrients and CO2 for plants and other edible organisms, which in turn provide food, fresh water, and oxygen for astronauts. The central idea is to create a...journal article 2023

Kniestedt, I. (author), Lefter, I. (author), Lukosch, Stephan (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)Although games are frequently described as ‘engaging’, what this means exactly continues to be subject of debate in game literature. Engagement is often defined through related concepts like immersion and positive emotions. However, this neglects the fact that applied games aim to provide more than an entertaining experience, and that engagement...journal article 2022
