Rieger, A. (author), Bredius, Frank (author), Theune, Mariët (author), Pera, M.S. (author)An essential characteristic for unbiased and diligent information-seeking that can enable informed opinion formation and decision-making is intellectual humility (IH), the awareness of the limitations of one's knowledge and opinions. While researchers have recognized the potential to boost IH in individuals, the effect of such interventions...conference paper 2024

Rieger, A. (author), Draws, T.A. (author), Theune, Mariët (author), Tintarev, N. (author)When people use web search engines to find information on debated topics, the search results they encounter can influence opinion formation and practical decision-making with potentially far-reaching consequences for the individual and society. However, current web search engines lack support for information-seeking strategies that enable...journal article 2024

Hutiri, Wiebke (author)From smart phones to speakers and watches, Edge Al is deployed on billions of devices to process large volumes of personal data efficiently, privately and in real-time. While Edge Al applications are promising, many recent incidents of bias in Al systems caution that Edge Al too, may systematically discriminate against groups of people based on...doctoral thesis 2023

Saccher, M. (author), Kawasaki, S. (author), Klootwijk, Johan (author), van Schaijk, Rob (author), Dekker, R. (author)Recently, the applications of ultrasound transducers expanded from high-end diagnostic tools to point of care diagnostic devices and wireless power receivers for implantable devices. These new applications additionally require that the transducer technology must comply to biocompatibility and manufacturing scalability. In this respect,...journal article 2023

Naeije, M.C. (author), Di Bella, Alessandro (author), Geminale, Teresa (author), Visser, P.N.A.M. (author)ESA’s Earth explorer mission CryoSat-2 has an ice-monitoring objective, but it has proven to also be a valuable source of observations for measuring impacts of climate change over oceans. In this paper, we report on our long-term ocean data analysis and validation and give our final words on CryoSat-2’s Geophysical Ocean Products (GOP)...journal article 2023

Yue, X. (author), Du, S. (author)Synchronized ac-dc rectifiers are widely used for energy rectification in piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH), which have to employ a bulky inductor or some dedicated flying capacitors for high energy conversion efficiency. This article proposes a synchronized switch harvesting on shared capacitors (SSHSC) rectifier achieving synchronized...journal article 2023

Conde Santos Borba, P. (author), Sousa, Wilson C. (author), Shadman, Milad (author), Pfenninger, Stefan (author)During atypical droughts, power systems with a heavy reliance on hydropower risk increased greenhouse gas emissions if they are balanced with fossil-fired generation. This work investigates the role of offshore wind energy in reducing the vulnerability of power systems dependent on such hydrological patterns, thereby eliminating this emission...journal article 2023

Liu, S. (author), Sinke, J. (author), Dransfeld, C.A. (author)The bias-extension test is one of the test methods to characterise the intra-ply shear behaviour of continuous fibre reinforced composites including fabrics and unidirectional (UD) materials. For the determination of the major mechanical properties of metals, often a uniaxial tensile test is used. Combination of these two methods for the...journal article 2023

(author)Aims: Implicit gender biases (IGBs) are unconscious evaluations about a person based on gender. IGBs of healthcare providers may affect medical decision making. This study investigated whether IGBs and genders of patients and general practitioners (GPs) influence diagnostics and treatment decisions in the context of diabetes type 2.

(author)One way to help users navigate debated topics online is to apply stance detection in web search. Automatically identifying whether search results are against, neutral, or in favor could facilitate diversification efforts and support interventions that aim to mitigate cognitive biases. To be truly useful in this context, however, stance...conference paper 2023

Gonçalves, Joana (author)Motivation<br/><br/>Anti-cancer therapies based on synthetic lethality (SL) exploit tumour vulnerabilities for treatment with reduced side effects, by targeting a gene that is jointly essential with another whose function is lost. Computational prediction is key to expedite SL screening, yet existing methods are vulnerable to prevalent selection...journal article 2023

(author)In the view of climate change, understanding and managing effects on coastal areas and adjacent cities is essential. Permanent Laser Scanning (PLS) is a successful technique to not only observe notably sandy coasts incidentally or once every year, but (nearly) continuously over extended periods of time. The collected point cloud observations...journal article 2023

(author), Theelen, Mirjam (author)Nonequal current generation in the cells of a photovoltaic module, e.g., due to partial shading, leads to operation in reverse bias. This quickly causes a significant efficiency loss in perovskite solar cells. We report a more quantitative investigation of the reverse bias degradation. Various small reverse biases (negative voltages) were...journal article 2023

Zaminpardaz, Safoora (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author)It is common practice to use the well-known concept of the minimal detectable bias (MDB) to assess the performance of statistical testing procedures. However, such procedures are usually applied to a null and a set of multiple alternative hypotheses with the aim of selecting the most likely one. Therefore, in the DIA method for the detection,...journal article 2023
