van Bilsen, Daniël (author), Huang, Yilin (author), Li, Fen (author)China is undergoing large changes to tackle carbon dioxide emissions and air pollution. While the top-down governance allows for clear setting of emission reduction targets for industrial sectors and major cities, reducing emissions in residential sectors in smaller (the so-called low-tier) cities remain challenging and often unaddressed. This...conference paper 2020

Aarnoudse, Leontine (author), Kon, Johan (author), Classens, Koen (author), van Meer, Max (author), Poot, Maurice (author), Tacx, Paul (author), Strijbosch, Nard (author), Oomen, T.A.E. (author)Cross-coupled iterative learning control (ILC) can achieve high performance for manufacturing applications in which tracking a contour is essential for the quality of a product. The aim of this paper is to develop a framework for norm-optimal cross-coupled ILC that enables the use of exact contour errors that are calculated offline, and...conference paper 2022

Urbano, Julián (author), Nagler, Thomas (author)Part of Information Retrieval evaluation research is limited by the fact that we do not know the distributions of system effectiveness over the populations of topics and, by extension, their true mean scores. The workaround usually consists in resampling topics from an existing collection and approximating the statistics of interest with the...conference paper 2018

van der Vegte, Wilhelm Frederik (author), Kurt, Fatih (author), Şengöz, Oğuz Kerem (author)Today’s connected products increasingly allow us to collect and analyze information on how they are actually used. An engineering activity where usage data can prove particularly useful, and be converted to actionable engineering knowledge, is simulation: user behavior is often hard to model, and collected data representing real user...conference paper 2018

Lu, Z. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author), Boulkroune, Boulaid (author), Van Aalst, Sebastiaan (author), Happee, R. (author)Although extensive research has been conducted to design path-following algorithms for automated vehicles, the cross comparison between different path-following controllers is still weakly-analyzed. Therefore, we benchmarked five path-following algorithms to evaluate their performance according to various disturbances like gust wind, drop of...conference paper 2018

Urbano, Julián (author), De Lima, H.A. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author)Statistical significance testing is widely accepted as a means to assess how well a difference in effectiveness reflects an actual difference between systems, as opposed to random noise because of the selection of topics. According to recent surveys on SIGIR, CIKM, ECIR and TOIS papers, the t-test is the most popular choice among IR researchers....conference paper 2019

Urbano, Julián (author), De Lima, H.A. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author)In test collection based evaluation of IR systems, score standardization has been proposed to compare systems across collections and minimize the effect of outlier runs on specific topics. The underlying idea is to account for the difficulty of topics, so that systems are scored relative to it. Webber et al. first proposed standardization...conference paper 2019

Ekstrand, Michael D. (author), Chaney, Allison (author), Castells, Pablo (author), Burke, Robin (author), Rohde, David (author), Slokom, M. (author)There is significant interest lately in using synthetic data and simulation infrastructures for various types of recommender systems research. However, there are not currently any clear best practices around how best to apply these methods. We proposed a workshop to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in simulating...conference paper 2021

Van Wijngaarden-van Rossum, W.K. (author)Biogrout is a method to reinforce sand and gravel by the production of calcium carbonate. This calcium carbonate is produced using micro-organisms that are either present in the subsoil or injected into it. The micro-organisms are supplied with urea and calcium. Subsequently, they catalyse the hydrolysis of urea, by which carbonate is formed. In...doctoral thesis 2016

Heru Utomo, B.D. (author)Dyneema (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene – UHMW PE) is a high performance material that is used in many applications. These applications vary from leisure articles such as sails and kite wires to surgical wires and personal protection products. The reason that Dyneema outperforms many other materials is that it possesses a combination...doctoral thesis 2011

Rahman, R. (author)It has gradually become clear that Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems should not be conceived in the manner of conventional computing systems. Consequently, over the years, ideas from social science in general and economics in particular have made their way to P2P systems to deal with the novel challenges that such systems throw up. In Chapter 2 of this...doctoral thesis 2011

Saanen, Y.A. (author)International transportation is rapidly growing. Even during the recent recession, trade growth percentages world-wide exceeded 5-10%. As a consequence, container handling capacity is rapidly growing as well. Larger vessels, bigger container terminals: it appears to be an on-going process of which the limits have not yet been reached. At the...doctoral thesis 2004

Merkx, E.P.J. (author)A luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) is a concept from the 1970s that can find novel application as an electricity-generating window. An LSC converts sunlight to light of a different color by a process called luminescence. This light is transported to the edges of the LSC, where photovoltaic cells convert this incoming light to electricity....doctoral thesis 2020

Landman, H.M. (author)After several recent flight safety events, such as the accident of Air France flight 447 in 2009, investigators determined that surprise and startle can severely disrupt pilot responses. They concluded that pilots need to be better prepared for unexpected and potentially startling situations. In response, aviation safety authorities have...doctoral thesis 2019
