von Zitzewitz, J (author), Asboth, L (author), Fumeaux, N (author), Hasse, N (author), Baud, L (author), Vallery, H. (author), Courtine, G (author)Objectives. We aimed to develop a robotic interface capable of providing finely-tuned, multidirectional trunk assistance adjusted in real-time during unconstrained locomotion in rats and mice. Approach. We interfaced a large-scale robotic structure actuated in four degrees of freedom to exchangeable attachment modules exhibiting selective...journal article 2016

Fan, Z. (author), Lin, L. (author), Buijs, W. (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author), van Huis, MA (author)Cation exchange is a powerful tool for the synthesis of nanostructures such as core–shell nanocrystals, however, the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. Interactions of cations with ligands and solvent molecules are systematically ignored in simulations. Here, we introduce the concept of pseudoligands to incorporate cation-ligand-solvent...journal article 2016

Hedayati, R. (author), Sadighi, M. (author), Mohammadi-Aghdam, M (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Honeycombs resemble the structure of a number of natural and biological materials such as cancellous bone, wood, and cork. Thick honeycomb could be also used for energy absorption applications. Moreover, studying the mechanical behavior of honeycombs under in-plane loading could help understanding the mechanical behavior of more complex 3D...journal article 2016

Khuntia, S.R. (author), Rueda, José L. (author), van der Meijden, M.A.M.M. (author)Load forecasting has always been an important part in the planning and operation of electric utilities, i.e., both transmission and distribution companies. With technological advancement, change in economic condition and many other factors (to be discussed in this work), load forecasting is becoming more important. The forecast affects as well...journal article 2016

Bhagwat, P.C. (author), Richstein, J.C. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)To ensure sufficient investment in electricity generation capacity, mechanisms such as strategic reserves are being considered or already implemented. We analyze the effectiveness of a strategic reserve in the presence of a growing portfolio share of renewable energy sources (RES) with EMLab-Generation, an agent-based electricity market model...journal article 2016

Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), van der Voort, H.G. (author)Organizations are expected to adapt within a short time to deal with changes that might become disruptive if not adequately dealt with. Yet many organizations are unable to adapt effectively or quickly due to the established institutional arrangements and patterns of decision-making and governance. Adaptive governance should enhance the...journal article 2016

Gawehn, M. (author), van Dongeren, AR (author), van Rooijen, A.A. (author), Storlazzi, C.D. (author), Cheriton, O.M. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author)Very low frequency (VLF, 0.001–0.005 Hz) waves are important drivers of flooding of low-lying coral reef-islands. In particular, VLF wave resonance is known to drive large wave runup and subsequent overwash. Using a 5 month data set of water levels and waves collected along a cross-reef transect on Roi-Namur Island in the Republic of the...journal article 2016

Ciftcioglu, O. (author), Bittermann, M.S. (author)Comprehension of aesthetical color characteristics based on a computational model of visual perception and color cognition are presented. The computational comprehension is manifested by the machine’s capability of instantly assigning appropriate colors to the objects perceived. They form a scene with aesthetically pleasing characteristics. The...conference paper 2016

Bittermann, M.S. (author), Ciftcioglu, O. (author)Demonstrative results of a probabilistic constraint handling approach that is exclusively using evolutionary computation are presented. In contrast to other works involving the same probabilistic considerations, in this study local search has been omitted, in order to assess the necessity of this deterministic local search procedure in...conference paper 2016

Schnaubelt, Roland (author), Veraar, M.C. (author)We establish pathwise continuity properties of solutions to a stochastic Volterra equation with an additive noise term given by a local martingale. The deterministic part is governed by an operator with an H∞-calculus and a scalar kernel. The proof relies on the dilation theorem for positive definite operator families on a Hilbert space.journal article 2016

de Klerk, E. (author), Glineur, François (author), Taylor, Adrien B. (author)We consider the gradient (or steepest) descent method with exact line search applied to a strongly convex function with Lipschitz continuous gradient. We establish the exact worst-case rate of convergence of this scheme, and show that this worst-case behavior is exhibited by a certain convex quadratic function. We also give the tight worst-case...journal article 2016

Veraar, M.C. (author), Yaroslavtsev, I.S. (author)In this paper we define a new type of quadratic variation for cylindrical continuous local martingales on an infinite dimensional spaces. It is shown that a large class of cylindrical continuous local martingales has such a quadratic variation. For this new class of cylindrical continuous local martingales we develop a stochastic integration...journal article 2016

Sedighi, M. (author), Lukosch, S.G. (author), van Splunter, S. (author), Brazier, F.M. (author), van Beers, Cees (author)The importance of knowledge sharing within most organisations is well recognised. While abundant KM systems have been matured to encourage individual engagement in knowledge sharing, practical evidences show a low success rate of KM systems. This paper reports on a qualitative exploratory multi-case study to explore level participants’...conference paper 2016

(author)The production of compound adhesives using disparate ingredients is seen as some of the best evidence of advanced cognition outside of the use of symbolism. Previous field and laboratory testing of adhesives has shown the complexities involved in creating an effective Middle Stone Age glue using Acacia gum. However, it is currently unclear how...journal article 2016
