Kolen, M. (author), Antoniadis, Grigorios (author), Schreuders, H. (author), Boshuizen, B. (author), van Noordenne, D.D. (author), Ripepi, D. (author), Smith, W.A. (author), Mulder, F.M. (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

Diab, I. (author), Chandra Mouli, G.R. (author), Bauer, P. (author)The transport sector has been increasing rather than decreasing its CO2 emissions, and its sustainable electrification faces a number of technical and non-technical challenges. This paper investigates these challenges, namely those of the grid load demand modelling, renewables integration, the present infrastructure limitations, and the...conference paper 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

Veviurko, G. (author), Böhmer, J.W. (author), Mackay, Laurens (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author)Many electric vehicles (EVs) are using today’s distribution grids, and their flexibility can be highly beneficial for the grid operators. This flexibility can be best exploited by DC power networks, as they allow charging and discharging without extra power electronics and transformation losses. From the grid control perspective, algorithms for...journal article 2022

Bellizio, Federica (author), Bugaje, Al Amin B. (author), Cremer, Jochen (author), Strbac, Goran (author)Machine Learning (ML) for real-time Dynamic Security Assessment (DSA) promises a probabilistic approach to secure lower safety margins and costs. However, future systems with a high share of renewables have low inertia and converter-interfaced devices resulting in faster dynamics. Past research on ML-based DSA used high inertia systems to...journal article 2022
