Scalable Photochromic Film for Solar Heat and Daylight Management

Meng, Weihao (author), Kragt, A.J.J. (author), Gao, Yingtao (author), Brembilla, E. (author), van der Burgt, Julia S. (author), Schenning, Albertus P.H.J. (author), Klein, T. (author), van den Ham, E.R. (author), Wang, Jingxia (author)

The adaptive control of sunlight through photochromic smart windows could have a huge impact on the energy efficiency and daylight comfort in buildings. However, the fabrication of inorganic nanoparticle and polymer composite photochromic films with a high contrast ratio and high transparency/low haze remains a challenge. Here, a solution...

The influence of interdependence and a transparent or explainable communication style on human-robot teamwork

Verhagen, R.S. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Tielman, M.L. (author)

Humans and robots are increasingly working together in human-robot teams. Teamwork requires communication, especially when interdependence between team members is high. In previous work, we identified a conceptual difference between sharing what you are doing (i.e., being transparent) and why you are doing it (i.e., being explainable). Although...

Trust in Institutions, Not in Political Leaders, Determines Compliance in COVID-19 Prevention Measures within Societies across the Globe

Badman, Ryan P. (author), Wang, Ace X. (author), Skrodzki, M. (author), Cho, Heng-Chin (author), Aguilar-Lleyda, David (author), Shiono, Naoko (author), Yoo, Seng Bum Michael (author), Chiang, Yen-Sheng (author), Akaishi, Rei (author)

A core assumption often heard in public health discourse is that increasing trust in national political leaders is essential for securing public health compliance during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic (2019–ongoing). However, studies of national government trust are typically too coarse-grained to differentiate between trust in...

Identification of Hip and Knee Joint Impedance During the Swing Phase of Walking

van der Kooij, H. (author), Fricke, Simone S. (author), Van 't Veld, Ronald C. (author), Prieto, Ander Vallinas (author), Keemink, Arvid Q.L. (author), Schouten, A.C. (author), Van Asseldonk, Edwin H.F. (author)

Knowledge on joint impedance during walking in various conditions is relevant for clinical decision-making and the development of robotic gait trainers, leg prostheses, leg orthotics and wearable exoskeletons. Whereas ankle impedance during walking has been experimentally assessed, knee and hip joint impedance during walking have not been...

Seeing is believing: investigating the influence of transparency on consumers’ product perceptions and attitude

Cheng, Peiyao (author), Mugge, R. (author)

Transparency is a design characteristic enabling consumers to see the technical details underneath the product cover to create a unique visual effect. However, involving transparency in product design increases costs; it is thus essential to investigate the effects of transparency to help designers and manufacturers to determine the cost...

Choosing the wrong integrated research approach and how to correct it: reflections on developing a shared information management system’

Wever, Mark (author), Shah, Munir (author), Wognum, Nel (author), Sharifi, Mostafa (author), O'Leary, Niall (author)

Researchers often lack critical information to decide what type of integrated research approach - multi-, inter- or transdisciplinary - is needed at the start of a project. In the present paper, we aim to contribute insights regarding these difficulties by discussing the case study of the ongoing development of shared information management...

Establishing Auditing Intermediaries to Verify Platform Data

Wagner, Ben (author), Kuklis, Lubos (author)

This chapter provides an overview of the main problems associated with basing public regulatory decisions on unverified data, before sketching out some ideas of what a solution might look like. In order to do this, the chapter develops the concept of auditing intermediaries. After discussing which problems the concept of auditing intermediaries...

A Novel Clinical-Driven Design for Robotic Hand Rehabilitation: Combining Sensory Training, Effortless Setup, and Large Range of Motion in a Palmar Device

Ratz, Raphael (author), Conti, François (author), Müri, René M. (author), Marchal Crespo, L. (author)

Neurorehabilitation research suggests that not only high training intensity, but also somatosensory information plays a fundamental role in the recovery of stroke patients. Yet, there is currently a lack of easy-to-use robotic solutions for sensorimotor hand rehabilitation. We addressed this shortcoming by developing a novel clinical-driven...

Whose Politics? Whose Rights? Transparency, Capture and Dual-Use Export Controls

Wagner, Ben (author)

What kinds of politics do export controls entail and whose rights do they enable? The following article will take a critical perspective on the governance challenges associated with export controls of dual-use technologies. After discussing challenges around transparency, the performance of human rights and export control havens, this article...

Will Algorithms Blind People? The Effect of Explainable AI and Decision-Makers’ Experience on AI-supported Decision-Making in Government

Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Hartog, M.W. (author), Matheus, R. (author), Ding, Aaron Yi (author), Kuk, George (author)

Computational artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are increasingly used to support decision making by governments. Yet algorithms often remain opaque to the decision makers and devoid of clear explanations for the decisions made. In this study, we used an experimental approach to compare decision making in three situations: humans making...

A Systematic Literature Study to Unravel Transparency Enabled by Open Government Data: The Window Theory

Matheus, R. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)

The opening of data has been credited for improving transparency and for providing a window on government functioning. Although this relationship is intuitively apparent, it is in fact complex and the mere opening of data might not actually yield transparency. In this paper, a comprehensive model of determinants that enable or impede...

Structural glass: A new remedial tool for the consolidation of historic structures

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...

Trust transparency and PPP

Lousberg, L.H.M.J. (author), Noorderhaven, N. (author)

This paper argues how transparency can increase trust and therefore indirectly enhances the results of Public Private Partnerships in complex construction projects. Complex construction projects, e.g. large infrastructure or urban development projects, with public client organizations and private contractors, frequently run into problems. Public...

Special Issue on Transparency and Open Data Policies: Guest Editors’ Introduction

Zuiderwijk, A.M.G. (author), Gascó, M. (author), Parycek, P. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)

Literature and policy reports suggest that open data can be used as a tool to enhance transparency. However, several researchers have challenged the idea that the release of government data will result in increased transparency and the idea that transparency automatically leads to more trust in the government. Moreover, transparency may have...

A Packing Approach for the Early Stage Design of Service Vessels

Van Oers, B.J. (author)

Naval architects often say that every ship is a compromise between many conflicting requirements. This widely-held belief immediately raises the question as to what kind of ship and, therefore, what kind of compromise, would suit the ship owner’s interest best. The approach presented in this thesis aims to improve the early stage design process...

Perceptual effects of overlapping curved glass

Cruz, P.J.S. (author), Veer, F.A. (author), Carvalho, P.L.L. (author)

The application of glass in contemporary architecture explores perceptual phenomenon that intentionally change the way we experience space. SANAA'S recent work uses glass in a radical way, proposing a renewed approach to transparency. The Toledo Glass Pavilion, with most spaces defined by glass walls, presents an intense visual experience. The...
