Vermaas, P.E. (author)In this contribution it is argued that in responsible design engineers should be transparent towards stakeholders about the goals they intend to realise with their designs. The emergence of responsible design in, e.g., value-sensitive design, design for values, social design, nudging and positive design, is to be welcomed. It has however the...conference paper 2019

Truong, Han (author)This thesis will focus on an 24 GHz indoor human presence detection radar with an optically transparent dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) applied in an enclosed light source. The DRA was studied extensively by simulations and measurements and demonstrated to suffer from blind spots for radar implementation because of the light bulb housing. To...master thesis 2018

Barou, L. (author), Oikonomopoulou, F. (author), Bristogianni, T. (author), Veer, F.A. (author), Nijsse, R. (author)This research investigates the potential of glass as a new design tool to highlight and safeguard our historic structures. Current restoration and conservation treatments with traditional materials bear the risk of conjecture between the original and new elements, whereas the high consolidation demands often result in visually invasive and...journal article 2018

Turcios Rodriguez, Elsa (author)Tracking is a pervasive mechanism across the web which is capable to trace and collect users’ online data. One of the most widely used mechanisms for tracking are cookies, and they are used to deliver online behavioral advertisement. Since these mechanisms pose a threat to privacy, the E-Privacy Directive was created as the regional legal...master thesis 2018

Szabó, Ákos (author)Glass is one of the most remarkable building material in modern architecture. It has become more and more valued as a major construction material. It does not only provide continuous transparency but it can be applied as a main structural element due to its high load-bearing capacity. The structural system has already been realized in several...master thesis 2018

Weihs, Benjamin (author)The building industry is characterized by the creation of organizational silos. These silos are causing frictions and inefficiencies on an operational, financial and managerial level. The following research is approaching these silos within the case of X-Decks, a temporary and circular parking project, and the means of blockchain technology.<br/...master thesis 2018

van Nes, Kevin (author)Volumetric light scattering caused by participating media has been and still is a complicated, but visually pleasing lighting effect that increases the sense of realism of digital scenes tremendously. Various solutions to rendering these effects in real-time exist, basing themselves upon the single scattering approximation. Transparency is...master thesis 2018

Goossen, Levar (author)<br/>Nanocatalysis has received considerable attention in the scientific community due to their superior reactivity compared to their macro-sized counterparts. MEMS nanoreactors allow scientists to view these reactions in-situ. This opens up doors to finally understanding the underlying mechanisms of the nanocatalyst's effectiveness, which may...master thesis 2018

Matheus, R. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Maheshwari, D. (author)Dashboards visualize a consolidated set data for a certain purpose which enables users to see what is happening and to initiate actions. Dashboards can be used by governments to support their decision-making and policy processes or to communicate and interact with the public. The objective of this paper is to understand and to support the...journal article 2018

Krousti, Alkistis (author), Snijder, A.H. (author), Turrin, M. (author)The purpose of this paper, as part of a MSc graduation project, has been to explore to which extent the kinematic potential of folded geometries can benefit from the structural and architectural properties of glass plates. Using as a case study the covering in an adjustable way an outdoor swimming pool area, the course of this paper consists of...conference paper 2018

Fu, W. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Wave-variable transformation is a means to maintain stability of haptic teleoperation in the presence of communication time delays. Its drawback is that it affects haptic perception of remote properties and thereby degrades transparency. This paper studies the effect of wave-variable transformation on human haptic perception. Based on a...conference paper 2018

Westin, C.A.L. (author)LIKE many complex and time-critical domains, air traffic control (ATC) is facing a fundamental modernization that builds on the use of more advanced automation (represented by SESAR in Europe and NextGen in the United States). The current function allocation-based relationship between controller and machine is envisioned to evolve to a more...doctoral thesis 2017

Eid, C. (author)The European policy focus on smart grids implies their development as an indispensable part of the future power system. However, the definition of a smart grid is broad and vague, and the actual implementation of a smart grid can differ significantly depending on the stakeholders involved. Smart electricity grids can be defined as electricity...doctoral thesis 2017

Ge, H. (author)To improve the conversion efficiency of c-Si solar cells, it is crucial to quench the recombination losses at c-Si/metal interface. Such recombination losses are able to be reduced by using carrier-selective passivating contacts by means of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and poly-crystalline silicon (poly-Si)/tunneling silicon oxide ...master thesis 2017

Jans, M.G.M. (author)As air traffic controller workload is a bottleneck on air traffic growth, automation solutions have been proposed. This study investigates the effect of transparency on the acceptance of resolution advisories generated by an adaptive automation tool and the frustration experienced by controllers when using this tool. Two different kinds of...master thesis 2017

Van den Broek, E.A.M. (author)The long and slender structural member, the elastic column, fails due to buckling. Buckling is a predictable, and visible, mode of failure allowing for timely repairs or replacement. This is no longer true when we look at long and slender columns made out of glass as glass is a brittle material. At the moment the critical buckling force is...master thesis 2017
