Hejderup, J.I. (author)Developers strategically reuse code to expedite project development and lower maintenance costs. With the advent of software supply chains, integrating open-source libraries into projects has transitioned from a cumbersome, manual task to an automated, streamlined process. However, this ease of integration has downsides; adding just one library...doctoral thesis 2024

Maggioli, Filippo (author)Finite Element Methods (FEMs) are widely employed for damage simulation in composites, with the Cohesive Zone Model (CZM) being particularly favored for its robustness and scalability. Despite the CZM's mesh-dependent nature, the Discontinuous Galerkin Cohesive Zone Model (DG/CZM) formulation allows for relatively arbitrary crack propagation...master thesis 2024

Taberna, A. (author)Amid the Anthropocene, the escalating threat of flooding, driven by extreme rainfall and sea-level rise, challenges societies worldwide. In the last two decades, floods have impacted billions and inflicted colossal economic losses. Concurrently, the global trend towards urbanization predicts that by 2050, about 70\% of the global population will...doctoral thesis 2024

Sandifort, Jelle (author)This paper presents a comprehensive experimental study on the use and impact of external repositories in the Maven ecosystem. For this research the prevalence, naming patterns, and potential risks associated with external repositories were analyzed. We analyzed 199,188 packages and found that 3.29% of projects employ external repositories. Our...bachelor thesis 2024

Kuļikovskis, Gints (author)This study conducts an investigation of the challenges faced by aging projects in Maven Central, focusing on the issue of missing dependencies. Using the Maven Explorer indexer, we systematically examine the correlation between the age of a project and the frequency of dependency resolution failures. Our analysis reveals a notable trend: older...bachelor thesis 2024

van der Schoot, Mathijs (author)The Maven ecosystem, with an emphasis on Maven Central, contains a plethora of toy-projects. This paper addresses this problem by formulating a core containing the pillars of the Maven ecosystem, such that it can be exploited for research concerning li- brary quality. The construction of said core is done by analyzing the availability, relevance...bachelor thesis 2024

Rębacz, Mateusz (author)Open Source developers typically use Git repositories to transparently store the source code of projects and contribute to the code of others. There are millions of repositories actively hosted on platforms such as GitHub. This presents an opportunity for sharing knowledge between related projects – the so-called digital siblings. Finding...bachelor thesis 2024

Parolya, N. (author), Heiny, Johannes (author), Kurowicka, D. (author)Consider a random vector y = Σ <sup>1/2</sup> x, where the p elements of the vector x are i.i.d. real-valued random variables with zero mean and finite fourth moment, and Σ <sup>1/2</sup> is a deterministic p × p matrix such that the eigenvalues of the population correlation matrix R of y are uniformly bounded away from zero and infinity. In...journal article 2024

Munro, D.P. (author)This note communicates a simple modification of the optimality criteria (OC) design update—as found in well-known Matlab implementations of the classical topology design problem—to an update based on a quadratic program (QP) with a single linear constraint. This QP update is a special case of the dual of Falk, which in general accommodates...journal article 2024

Mares Nasarre, P. (author), van Gent, M.R.A. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author)Rising sea levels caused by climate change are increasing the risk of overtopping on coastal structures. Moreover, there is a growing societal concern about the visual impact of these structures, which leads to the lowering of their crest freeboards. In previous studies, safety during overtopping events was assessed considering the...journal article 2024

De Martino, P. (author)Over time, a large number of stakeholders have affected the Italian port city of Naples. The millenary history of Naples reveals a port that has been strongly intertwined with the city. Yet, recent history shows a different story. The historical investigation analysed in this article points out a conflict between several different authorities...journal article 2024

Ihsan, A.F. (author), van Horssen, W.T. (author), Tuwankotta, J.M. (author)In this paper, a classical Stefan problem with a prescribed and small time-dependent temperature at the boundary is studied. By using a multiple time-scales perturbation method, it is shown analytically how the moving boundary profile is influenced by the prescribed temperature at the boundary and the initial conditions. Only a few exact...journal article 2024

Bozhidarova, Malvina (author), Ball, Frank (author), van Gennip, Y. (author), O’Dea, Reuben D. (author), Stupfler, Gilles (author)This paper proposes a novel framework for modelling the spread of financial crises in complex networks, combining financial data, Extreme Value Theory and an epidemiological transmission model. We accommodate two key aspects of contagion modelling: fundamentals-based contagion, where the transmission is due to direct financial linkages, and...journal article 2024

Centeio Jorge, C. (author), van Zoelen, E.M. (author), Verhagen, R.S. (author), Mehrotra, S. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author), Tielman, M.L. (author)As human-machine teams become a more common scenario, we need to ensure mutual trust between humans and machines. More important than having trust, we need all teammates to trust each other appropriately. This means that they should not overtrust or undertrust each other, avoiding risks and inefficiencies, respectively. We usually think of...book chapter 2024

Xia, Dongyang (author), Ma, Jihui (author), Sharif Azadeh, S. (author)Integrating emerging shared mobility with traditional fixed-line public transport is a promising solution to the mismatch between supply and demand in urban transportation systems. The advent of modular vehicles (MVs) provides opportunities for more flexible and seamless intermodal transit. The MVs, which have been implemented, are comprised...journal article 2024

Ramousse, B.R. (author), Mendoza Lugo, M.A. (author), Rongen, G.W.F. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author)Constructing Bayesian networks (BN) for practical applications presents significant challenges, especially in domains with limited empirical data available. In such situations, field experts are often consulted to estimate the model’s parameters, for instance, rank correlations in Gaussian copula-based Bayesian networks (GCBN). Because there is...journal article 2024

Li, J. (author), Vollebregt, S. (author), Zhang, Y. (author), Shekhar, A. (author), May, Alexander (author), van Driel, W.D. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)Due to the deficient passivation of the interface between silicon carbide and silicon dioxide, the defect-induced capture and release of trapped charges triggered by external Bias Temperature Stress (BTS) leads to parameter shifts and degraded device performance. This study models the trap-induced transient current in silicon carbide metal-oxide...conference paper 2024

Andrade Borges, Emilia (author)This thesis addresses the topic of ongoing (excessive) deformations observed in balanced cantilever prestressed concrete bridges all over the world. Many authors attribute this behavior to the time-dependent phenomena of creep and shrinkage. Balanced cantilever bridges are classified as creep-sensitive structures, and for that reason, a detailed...master thesis 2023

Lagemann, Luca (author)Mechanical metamaterials are architected materials with unique properties derived from their internal structure, rather than the material they consist of. Introducing distinct stable states into the material architecture allows the creation of mechanical metamaterials with multiple effective properties that can be altered post-fabrication. So...master thesis 2023

Pouliasis, George (author)Wave overtopping of coastal structures is generally expressed in terms of average discharge and maximum overtopping volume. While substantial research can be found on the relationship of such variables with incident spectral characteristics and other geometrical dimensions, limited research has been done to identify the conditions for which...master thesis 2023
