The number of activities in city logistics is growing rapidly causing an increase in emissions, and a decline in accessibility and safety in cities. Therefore, the Dutch government has introduced GreenDeal Zero-emission city logistics. The goal of this deal is to have 30-40 of the biggest municipalities in the Netherlands have zero-emission city...

From fault-tolerant control to failure detection, blade damage simulation is integral for developing and testing failure-resilient modern unmanned aerial vehicles. Existing approaches assume partial loss of rotor effectiveness or reduce the problem to centrifugal forces resulting from the shift in the propeller centre of gravity. In this study,...

Online fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) enables Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to take informed decisions upon actuator failure during flight, adapting their control strategy or deploying emergency systems. Despite the camera being a ubiquitous sensor on-board of most commercial UAVs, it has not been used within FDD systems before, mainly...

Most people interact with digital technologies that collect personal data about their behavior and experiences, leaving behind a data trail. The data within this trail is abstract and difficult to interpret; still, people often need to decide about its collection and distribution. Hence, it is paramount to support personal data literacy, for...

Design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA) is an engineering methodology which aims to increase ease of manufacture and efficiency of assembly by considering manufacturing and assembly constraints in the design process. However, current DfMA approaches in the construction sector are not automated enough to identify the design features that...

In this paper, the full calibration chain of FMCW radar with simultaneous transmission of two orthogonally polarized orthogonal waveforms is considered. Specifically for this type of polarimetric radar, compensation of signals’ biases and equalization of the amplification gains of the parallel polarimetric channels in the receiver are jointly...

The challenge of reconstructing the Doppler spectrum of a precipitation-like event observed by a fast-scanning weather radar is addressed. A novel method is proposed where the echo sequence in time is assumed to be a complex Gaussian process with a known covariance structure. It is a two-step approach where the first step is the estimation of...

We present a formalization of different categorical structures used to interpret linear logic. Our formalization takes place in UniMath, a library of univalent mathematics based on the Coq proof assistant. All the categorical structures we formalize are based on monoidal categories. As such, one of our contributions is a practical, usable...

Category theory is a branch of mathematics that provides a formal framework for understanding the relationship between mathematical structures. To this end, a category not only incorporates the data of the desired objects, but also "morphisms", which capture how different objects interact with each other. Category theory has found many...

This study aims to evaluate the impact of different urban building geometries (six courtyards, two canyons, two slabs) on heat mitigation and aircraft noise attenuation, in order to support an evidence-based retrofit plan for future airport neighborhoods. Using ’Pachyderm + ENVI-met simulations + field measurements’, we found that the slanted...

3D modeling of indoor spaces is a prerequisite for daylight simulation, and the accuracy of the 3D models has a significant impact on the simulation. The goal of this study was to quantify the errors caused by modeling indoor spaces at different accuracy levels to find the optimal balance between the reliability of the results and labor...

Hydrogen carriers are attractive alternative fuels for the shipping sectors. They are zero-emission, have high energy densities, and are safe, available, and easy to handle. Sodium borohydride, potassium borohydride, dibenzyltoluene, n-ethylcarbazole, and ammoniaborane are interesting hydrogen carriers, with high theoretical energy densities....

Analyzing the impact of aircraft noise on urban areas requires specific consideration of sound propagation over long distances, which is not typically covered by tools designed for indoor acoustics. Although it is unclear to what extent existing parametric tools that combine 3D modeling and acoustic simulation can accurately replicate these...

The presence of sensor networks to monitor environmental conditions and the automation of blinds and lighting systems controls is now commonplace in buildings, especially public ones with a high number of occupants. However, implementing control algorithms that are sufficiently reactive to variable sky conditions and that actually meet...

The recent spate of natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods destroyed buildings and caused loss of lives. Many times, the loss of life is attributed to slow response and not being able to reach the survivors. In such scenarios, the staggering number of deaths in the aftermath of a disaster can be reduced if information about survivors...

In recent years, flexible strain sensors based on metal cracks have garnered significant interest for their exceptional sensitivity. However, striking a balance between sensitivity and detection range remains a significant challenge, which often limits its wider application. Herein, we introduce an innovative laser transmission pyrolysis...

This paper reports on the creation of a novel 3D Hall-effect sensor based on an anisotropically etched, inverted pyramid structure. Specific biasing and sensing contact configurations are employed to extract the in-plane or out-of-plane components of the magnetic field, eliminating cross-sensitivity by symmetry. Simulations were performed to...

Silicon carbide (SiC) coated vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNT) are attractive material for fabricating MEMS devices as an alternative for bulk micromachining of SiC. In order to examine the mechanical properties of SiC-CNT composites at high temperatures, we fabricated VACNT micro-pillars with different amounts of SiC coating and...

We developed a shape-changing constructive kit, named Mimosa1. A key component of the toolkit is the modular hinges, each of which is equipped with two antagonistic shape memory alloy (SMA) wires. One wire deforms the hinge to approach its predetermined angle at high temperature, and another wire drives the hinge back when it cools down....
