Pan, J. (author), Ferreira, Carlos (author), van Zuijlen, A.H. (author)To investigate the effect of force distributions of each turbine component on the power performance of the Darrieus–Savonius combined vertical axis wind turbine (hybrid VAWT), the hybrid VAWT is modeled as idealized turbine under various force distributions. The goal of idealization is to simplify the intricate interactions between the...journal article 2024

Naghibi, M. (author), Farrokhi, Ashkan (author), Faizi, Mohsen (author)In metropolitan areas worldwide, abandoned properties are prevalent, prompting a need for small urban green spaces (SUGS) to meet the growing demand. Understanding residents’ preferences and perceptions of transformed spaces is vital for effective urban design. This study delves into residents’ preferences and perceptions regarding the...journal article 2024

Yu, C. (author), Van Zuijlen, Mitchell J.P. (author), Spoiala, C. (author), Pont, S.C. (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), Hurlbert, Anya (author)The spectral shape, irradiance, direction, and diffuseness of daylight vary regularly throughout the day. The variations in illumination and their effect on the light reflected from objects may in turn provide visual information as to the time of day. We suggest that artists' color choices for paintings of outdoor scenes might convey this...journal article 2024

The book is organized into three distinct parts. The first part focuses on data-driven digital technologies and delves into how their capabilities can facilitate the transition to a circular built environment. Essential aspects such as building information modeling (BIM), digital twins, geographical information systems (GIS), scanning...book 2024

Tišma, M. (author), Kaljević, Jovana (author), Gruber, Stephan (author), Le, Tung B.K. (author), Dekker, C. (author)Bacterial cells require DNA segregation machinery to properly distribute a genome to both daughter cells upon division. The most common system involved in chromosome and plasmid segregation in bacteria is the ParABS system. A core protein of this system - partition protein B (ParB) - regulates chromosome organization and chromosome...review 2024

Liu, J. (author), Borja, Pablo (author), Della Santina, C. (author)This work concerns the application of physics-informed neural networks to the modeling and control of complex robotic systems. Achieving this goal requires extending physics-informed neural networks to handle nonconservative effects. These learned models are proposed to combine with model-based controllers originally developed with first...journal article 2024

de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Dodou, D. (author), Eisma, Y.B. (author)Within a year of its launch, ChatGPT has seen a surge in popularity. While many are drawn to its effectiveness and user-friendly interface, ChatGPT also introduces moral concerns, such as the temptation to present generated text as one’s own. This led us to theorize that personality traits such as Machiavellianism and sensation-seeking may be...journal article 2024

Miller, S.R.M. (author), Bossomaier, Terry (author)The advent of the Internet, exponential growth in computing power, and rapid developments in artificial intelligence have raised numerous cybersecurity-related ethical questions in various domains. The dual use character of cybertechnology-that it can be used to provide great benefits to humankind but can also do great harm-means that business ...book 2024

Yu, C. (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), Eisemann, E. (author), Pont, S.C. (author)We present a method to capture the 7-dimensional light field structure, and translate it into perceptually-relevant information. Our spectral cubic illumination method quantifies objective correlates of perceptually relevant diffuse and directed light components, including their variations over time, space, in color and direction, and the...journal article 2023

(author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Individual cells and multicellular systems respond to cell-scale curvatures in their environments, guiding migration, orientation, and tissue formation. However, it remains largely unclear how cells collectively explore and pattern complex landscapes with curvature gradients across the Euclidean and non-Euclidean spectra. Here, we show that...journal article 2023

Menzel, Miriam (author), Gräßel, David (author), Rajkovic, Ivan (author), Zeineh, Michael M. (author), Georgiadis, Marios (author)Disentangling human brain connectivity requires an accurate description of nerve fiber trajectories, unveiled via detailed mapping of axonal orientations. However, this is challenging because axons can cross one another on a micrometer scale. Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) can be used to infer axonal connectivity because it is...journal article 2023

Keukeleire, P. (author), Makrodimitris, S. (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author)Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) are DNA fragments originating from dying cells that are detectable in bodily fluids, such as the plasma. Accelerated cell death, for example caused by disease, induces an elevated concentration of cfDNA. As a result, determining the cell type origins of cfDNA molecules can provide information about an individual's health...journal article 2023
