Kouwenhoven, K. (author), Elwakil, I. (author), van Wingerden, J. (author), Murugesan, V. (author), Thoen, David (author), Baselmans, J.J.A. (author), de Visser, P.J. (author)Typical materials for optical Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detetectors (MKIDs) are metals with a natural absorption of ∼ 30–50% in the visible and near-infrared. To reach high absorption efficiencies (90–100%) the KID must be embedded in an optical stack. We show an optical stack design for a 60 nm TiN film. The optical stack is modeled as...journal article 2022

Wang, Xingkai (author), Cao, Zhenfu (author), LIU, Z. (author), Liang, K. (author)Gordon et al. (TCC 2015) systematically studied the security of Multi-client Verifiable Computation (MVC), in which a set of computationally-weak clients outsource the computation of a general function f over their private inputs to an untrusted server. They introduced the universally composable (UC) security of MVC and proposed a scheme...conference paper 2022

Rikkert, S.J.H. (author), Kok, M. (author), Lendering, K.T. (author), Jongejan, R.B. (author)Flood prone areas are often protected against flooding by an extensive network of flood defenses. To ensure their structural integrity, these flood defenses are periodically assessed. Many levees have been functioning well for decades, and have survived several relatively high hydraulic loads within their lifetime. However, information on...journal article 2022

(author)The electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is a promising alternative to the current greenhouse gas emission intensive process to produce ammonia (NH<sub>3</sub>) from nitrogen (N<sub>2</sub>). However, finding an electrocatalyst that promotes NRR over the competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has proven to be difficult. This...journal article 2022

Pothaar, M.R.J. (author), Geertsma, R.D. (author), Reurings, J.W. (author)Progressing targets on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission reduction urge the Netherlands Ministry of Defense (NL MoD) to reduce GHG emissions, without sacrificing striking power. The Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) is investigating the replacement of the Air Defense and Command Frigate (LCF) between 2030 and 2040 by a Large Surface Combatant. As it...journal article 2022

Shah, Tirth (author), Patel, Nirmal (author), Lomas, J.D. (author), Sharma, Aditya (author)Technology aided learning is becoming increasingly popular. In some of the countries, online learning has taken over for traditional classroom-based learning. With this, educational data is being generated in vast amounts. Knowing the potential of this data, many education stakeholders have turned to evidence-based decision making to improve the...conference paper 2022

Bastan, Mohaddeseh (author), Shankar, N. (author), Surdeanu, Mihai (author), Balasubramanian, Niranjan (author)Can language models read biomedical texts and explain the biomedical mechanisms discussed? In this work we introduce a biomedical mechanism summarization task. Biomedical studies often investigate the mechanisms behind how one entity (e.g., a protein or a chemical) affects another in a biological context. The abstracts of these publications...conference paper 2022

Nüßlein, Jonas (author), Gabor, Thomas (author), Linnhoff-Popien, Claudia (author), Feld, S. (author)Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) can be seen as a generic language for optimization problems. QUBOs attract particular attention since they can be solved with quantum hardware, like quantum annealers or quantum gate computers running QAOA. In this paper, we present two novel QUBO formulations for k-SAT and Hamiltonian Cycles...conference paper 2022

Hosseini-Asl, M. (author), Amiri Simkooei, A. (author), Safari, A. (author)The performance of the gravimetric geoid models is usually evaluated by comparison of geoid heights with the GNSS/levelling derived geoid. But the GNSS/levelling network can be infected by significant systematic biases and random errors, especially in large and uneven areas. This contribution addresses the challenging problem of the corrector...journal article 2022

Liang, F. (author), Brunelli, Matteo (author), Rezaei, J. (author)This study aims to develop a Multi-Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) method, the Best-Worst Tradeoff method, which draws on the underlying principles of two popular MADM methods (the Best-Worst Method (BWM) and the Tradeoff). The traditional Tradeoff procedure, which is based on the axiomatic foundation of multi-attribute value theory, considers...journal article 2022

Raghavan, V. (author), Lavidas, G. (author), Metrikine, A. (author), Mantadakis, Nikolaos (author), Loukogeorgaki, Eva (author)Wave Energy Converters (WECs) are expected to significantly contribute to the energy transition; however, this depends on their interactions with the resource. Calculating the power generated by WECs depends heavily on the accurate modelling of wave-structure interactions. The Boundary Element Method (BEM) based on the potential flow theory has...conference paper 2022

Araya Day, I.M. (author), Akhmerov, A.R. (author), Varjas, Dániel (author)We show that topological defects in quadrupole insulators do not host quantized fractional charges, contrary to what their Wannier representation indicates. In particular, we test the charge quantization hypothesis based on the Wannier representation of a disclination and a parametric defect. Since disclinations necessarily strain the lattice...journal article 2022
