De ontwikkeling van de bollenschuur: tussen 1850 en 1965

De bloembollencultuur speelt al anderhalve eeuw een belangrijke rol in het landschap van de Bollenstreek. Zo heeft deze bloembollencultuur van 1850 tot 1965 ook in gebouwde erfgoed haar sporen nagelaten. Na 1965 is de herkenbare bloembollenschuur haar karakteristieke eigenschappen verloren en zijn ze nog moeilijk te onderscheiden van andere...

How tsunami transmission is influenced by floating city design parameters

For both developed and developing nations, coastal zones form an attractive location for urban settlements. With the expected increase in the earth’s population, coastal areas will experience a further increase of inhabitants. Floating city development could therefore be an interesting alternative for land-based urban expansion on land [41]....

The CERTIFIED approach to Human-Centered AI adoption: A framework for agile policymaking to regulate technology

Policymaking regarding Artificial Intelligence is threatened to lag behind, and the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security stated its desire to catch up. The longer we wait, the wider the ‘gap’ will become between regulation and market development. In order to keep AI technology beneficial, a human-centered design approach should be key not only...

Design of a high-level control layer and wheel contact estimation and compensation for the pipe inspection robot PIRATE

Automation of pipe inspections by using robots has many advantages over manual pipe inspection, such as faster, more consistent and more accurate inspection. For this reason the pipe inspection robot PIRATE is being developped by the University of Twente.<br/><br/>In this project the first goal is to design a high-level control layer, which...

The Effect of Abstract and Specific Mindsets on Energy Tariff Selection

This research investigated the effect of different cognitive styles on decision making. Knowing how someone’s mindset influences choice is important for the development of decision support and guidance tools, and algorithms modelled after the human brain. We conducted two online experiments on first choice in an energy tariff ranking task which...

A decision model on grid replacement strategies for an energy distribution system operator

Dutch gas infrastructures are aged and need to be replaced in the next decades. Uncertainties surrounding the gas sector make it difficult to determine future requirements of the gas infrastructure. A decision model that analyses the performance of different replacement strategies under different scenarios of demand and supply is constructed....
