Zuiderwijk-van Eijk, A.M.G. (author), Volten, C.J. (author), Kroesen, M. (author), Gill, Mark (author)National governments often expect municipalities to develop toward open cities and be equally motivated to open up municipal data, yet municipalities have different characteristics influencing their motivations. This paper aims to reveal how municipality size influences municipalities' motivation perspectives on opening up municipality data....journal article 2018

(author), Kouwenhoven, Leo P. (author), Watson, J.D. (author)Parity control of superconducting islands hosting Majorana zero modes (MZMs) is required to operate topological qubits made from proximitized semiconductor nanowires. We test this control by studying parity effects in hybrid InAs-Al single-Cooper-pair transistors (SCPTs) to evaluate the feasibility of this material system. In particular, we...journal article 2018

Granneman, S.J.C. (author), Lubelli, B. (author), van Hees, R.P.J. (author)Weathering of porous building materials caused by the crystallization of soluble salts is a ubiquitous problem in the built cultural heritage. Especially lime-based mortars are susceptible to salt decay, due to both their bimodal pore size distribution and low mechanical strength. The addition of crystallization modifiers to mortars during...journal article 2019

Stevsic, Stefan (author), Nägeli, Tobias (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author), Hilliges, Otmar (author)In this letter, we propose an algorithm for the training of neural network control policies for quadrotors. The learned control policy computes control commands directly from sensor inputs and is, hence, computationally efficient. An imitation learning algorithm produces a policy that reproduces the behavior of a supervisor. The supervisor...journal article 2018

Oonk, S. (author), Schuurmans, T.F. (author), Pabst, Martin (author), de Smet, L.C.P.M. (author), de Puit, M. (author)Fingermarks are trace evidence of great forensic importance, and their omnipresence makes them pivotal in crime investigation. Police and law enforcement authorities have exploited fingermarks primarily for personal identification, but crucial knowledge on when fingermarks were deposited is often lacking, thereby hindering crime...journal article 2018

Beyrend, Guillaume (author), Stam, Koen (author), Höllt, T. (author), Ossendorp, Ferry (author), Arens, Ramon (author)Multi-parametric flow and mass cytometry allows exceptional high-resolution exploration of the cellular composition of the immune system. A large panel of computational tools have been developed to analyze the high-dimensional landscape of the data generated. Analysis frameworks such as FlowSOM or Cytosplore incorporate clustering and...journal article 2018

Groenevelt, W.G.M. (author)We obtain stochastic duality functions for specific Markov processes using representation theory of Lie algebras. The duality functions come from the kernel of a unitary intertwiner between ∗-representations, which provides (generalized) orthogonality relations for the duality functions. In particular, we consider representations of the...journal article 2019

Yin, J. (author), Unal, C.M.H. (author), Russchenberg, H.W.J. (author)Aiming at removing stationary and moving clutter while retaining precipitation for dual-polarization weather radar, a new clutter suppression method, named the object-orientated spectral polarimetric (OBSpol) filter, is put forward in this paper. Based on the spectral polarimetric feature and the range-Doppler continuity of precipitation, the...journal article 2018

Akkaya, T. (author), van Horssen, W.T. (author)In this paper, a model will be derived to describe the rain–wind-induced oscillations of an inclined cable. Water rivulets running along the cable and aerodynamics forces acting on the cable are taken into account to describe these oscillations. A boundary damper is assumed to be present near the lower endpoint of the cable. For a linearly...journal article 2018

Ward, Philip J. (author), Couasnon, Anais (author), Eilander, Dirk (author), Haigh, Ivan D (author), Hendry, Alistair (author), Muis, Sanne (author), Veldkamp, Ted I.E. (author), Winsemius, H.C. (author), Wahl, Thomas (author)When river and coastal floods coincide, their impacts are often worse than when they occur in isolation; such floods are examples of ‘compound events’. To better understand the impacts of these compound events, we require an improved understanding of the dependence between coastal and river flooding on a global scale. Therefore, in this letter,...journal article 2018

Haridas, M. (author), Abdelraheem, E.M.M. (author), Hanefeld, U. (author)© 2018, The Author(s). 2-Deoxy-d-ribose-5-phosphate aldolase (DERA) is a class I aldolase that offers access to several building blocks for organic synthesis. It catalyzes the stereoselective C–C bond formation between acetaldehyde and numerous other aldehydes. However, the practical application of DERA as a biocatalyst is limited by its poor...journal article 2018

Shelat, S. (author), Huisman, Raymond (author), van Oort, N. (author)Several cities around the world are facing mobility related problems such as traffic congestion and air pollution. Although limited individually, the combination of bicycle and transit offers speed and accessibility that can compete with automobiles by complementing each other's characteristics. Recognising the potential benefits with regard...journal article 2018

Zhang, R. (author), Zijlema, Marcel (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)In this paper, the ability of the numerical phase resolving model SWASH (Simulating WAves till SHore) to hindcast wave-induced longshore currents is evaluated. Using default settings for all processes modelled, highly accurate results are found for wave heights, mean water levels and longshore currents. While wave current interaction is...journal article 2018
