Leclercq, E.M. (author), Smit, M.J. (author)In Circular Communities, pioneering, collectively supported initiatives that are aimed at closing resource cycles at neighbourhood level take a central position. They are all examples of initiatives that contribute to the transition to a circular economy. For the analysis of these different circular initiatives, the researchers – urban designer...book 2023

(author), Smit, Sander (author), McLoughlin, Eilish (author)Schools are complex physical and social institutions within national education systems. They account for significant energy consumption and like other buildings can demonstrate inefficient patterns of energy use. Poor energy performance of educational facilities is an intricate issue driven by complex causality of interconnected and dynamic...journal article 2023

Smit, Thijs (author), Koppen, S. (author), Ferguson, Stephen J. (author), Helgason, Benedikt (author)A promising new treatment for large and complex bone defects is to implant specifically designed and additively manufactured synthetic bone scaffolds. Optimizing the scaffold design can potentially improve bone in-growth and prevent under- and over-loading of the adjacent tissue. This study aims to optimize synthetic bone scaffolds over...journal article 2023

Ebrecht, Ana C. (author), Mofokeng, Thato M. (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Smit, Martha S. (author), Opperman, Diederik J. (author)γ- and δ-lactones are valuable flavor and fragrance compounds. Their synthesis depends on the availability of suitable hydroxy fatty acid precursors. Three short unspecific peroxygenases were identified that selectively hydroxylate the C4 and C5 positions of C8-C12 fatty acids to yield after lactonization the corresponding γ- and δ-lactones....journal article 2023

(author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author)Artificial intelligence (AI) research in the intensive care unit (ICU) mainly focuses on developing models (from linear regression to deep learning) to predict out-<br/>comes, such as mortality or sepsis [1, 2]. However, there is another important aspect of AI that is typically not framed as AI (although it may be more worthy of the name), which...journal article 2023

FinFix: A Soft Gripper With Contact-Reactive Reflex for High-Speed Pick and Place of Fragile ObjectsHeeringa, W.M. (author), Della Santina, C. (author), Smit, G. (author)Industrial automation calls for precise tasks with cycle times reduced to the minimum. At the same time, when handling delicate products such as fruits and vegetables, accelerations must be kept low to keep interaction forces under a certain threshold to avoid damage. This trade-off hinders the penetration of automation in many relevant...conference paper 2023

(author)Weyl rule of association, proposed by Hermann Weyl for quantum mechanics applications (Weyl, 1931), can be used to associate between the dispersion relation of water waves and a non-local pseudo-differential operator. The central result of this study is that this operator correctly approximates the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator derived for...journal article 2023

Iterative learning control (ILC) allows determining the necessary control command by using a very rough system model to speed up the process. Functional iterative learning control is a novel technique that promises to solve several limitations of classic...conference paper 2023
