Koosheh, Ali (author), Etemad-Shahidi, Amir (author), Cartwright, Nick (author), Tomlinson, Rodger (author), van Gent, M.R.A. (author)For a safe design of a rubble mound seawall, overtopping characteristics such as the mean overtopping discharge (q) and the maximum individual overtopping volume (V<sub>max</sub>) should be limited. Unlike q, the estimation of V<sub>max</sub> is more complex and requires a wave-by-wave analysis of overtopping as well as a statistical analysis...journal article 2022

Cunillera, A. (author), Bešinović, Nikola (author), van Oort, N. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)Train movement dynamics are usually modelled by means of Newton's second law. The resulting dynamic equation can be very precise if the parameters that it depends on are determined accurately. However, these parameters may vary in time and show wide variations, making the calibration task nontrivial and jeopardizing the performance of a broad...journal article 2022

(author), Boukany, P. (author)A functional vascular system is a prerequisite for bone repair as disturbed angiogenesis often causes non-union. Paracrine factors released from human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) have angiogenic effects on endothelial cells. However, whether these paracrine factors participate in blood flow dynamics within bone...journal article 2022

Klemke, Roland (author), Antonaci, Alessandra (author), Limbu, B.H. (author)Gamification aims at addressing problems in various fields such as the high dropout rates, the lack of engagement, isolation, or the lack of personalisation faced by Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC). Even though gamification is widely applied, not only in MOOCs, only few cases are meaningfully designed and empirically tested. The...journal article 2020

Nijemeisland, M. (author), Meteleva-Fischer, Y. (author), Garcia, Santiago J. (author)The most widely accepted test for bond durability analysis in aerospace metal-bonded structures is the bondline corrosion test introduced in the late 90s. Little progress has been made however on non-destructive testing methods that allow determining the bond quality after years of use. Here, a non-destructive method based on dielectric...journal article 2022

Quin, T. (author), Limbu, B.H. (author), Beerens, M.J.J. (author), Specht, M.M. (author)Traditional online communications tools used in education are limited in terms of fostering naturalistic or life-like interaction. Such limited interactions in classrooms can negatively impact learning. Holograms are promising tools that show potential to overcome such limitations by affording more life-like interactions in virtual classrooms...journal article 2021

Zhao, Zhijun (author), Yan, Gaowei (author), Ren, Mifeng (author), Cheng, Lan (author), Zhu, Zhujun (author), Pang, Y. (author)The traditional soft sensor models are based on the independent and identical distribution assumption, which are difficult to adapt to changes in data distribution under multiple operating conditions, resulting in model performance deterioration. The domain adaptive transfer learning methods learn knowledge in different domains by means of...journal article 2022

(author)For all industrial applications, predicting system characteristics and behavior plays a vital role before constructing costly and complex multi-physic systems. Correct and reliable predictions become even more important once the aim is to go from small- to large-scale processes to establish an industrial demonstrations. In this study, a CFD...journal article 2022

Suau, M. (author), He, J. (author), Congeduti, E. (author), Starre, R.A.N. (author), Czechowski, A.T. (author), Oliehoek, F.A. (author)Due to its perceptual limitations, an agent may have too little information about the environment to act optimally. In such cases, it is important to keep track of the action-observation history to uncover hidden state information. Recent deep reinforcement learning methods use recurrent neural networks (RNN) to memorize past observations....journal article 2022
