Van Dael, Mathyn (author), Witvoet, Gert (author), Swinkels, Bas (author), Pinto, Manuel (author), Casanueva, Julia (author), Bersanetti, Diego (author), Mantovani, Maddalena (author), Vardaro, Marco (author), Oomen, T.A.E. (author)Gravitational Wave detectors require feedback control to control the length between the sensitive components of the detector. The degrees of freedom in the control system are inherently coupled and the level of interaction furthermore varies over time. A systematic control design approach for the feedback controllers is presented which...journal article 2022

Eijkelenboom, A.M. (author), Ortiz, Marco A. (author), Bluyssen, P.M. (author)While the pressure on hospital workers keeps growing, they are generally more dissatisfied with their comfort than other occupants in hospitals or offices. To better understand the comfort of outpatient workers in hospitals, clusters for preferences and perceptions of the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and social comfort were identified in a...journal article 2021

Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author), Oldenhave, M.M. (author)The aesthetic of our built environment is perceived as an important aspect to consider for the design of human-centred cities, but a problem quickly arises in the presence of clashing conceptions of what we understand to be aesthetically pleasing. This paper adds to this discussion, by exploring architects' aesthetic preferences in façade design...journal article 2021

(author)BACKGROUND: Anthropometrics is very important when ensuring a physical match between end users and product or workstations. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study are twofold, to provide anthropometric data for the design of products and to examine the secular changes in the adult Chilean workers in a period of more than 20 years. METHODS:...journal article 2021

Brinkman, Geert (author), van Buuren, Arwin (author), Voorberg, William (author), van der Bijl-Brouwer, M. (author)Public organizations are increasingly turning to design thinking to address wicked societal issues, enhance innovation, and improve services. However, in general, public organizations do not provide the most receptive context for design thinking. To be applied effectively, design thinking requires sufficient tolerance for uncertainty,...journal article 2023

Frouws, J.W. (author)The Energy Emission Design Index (EEDI) is an index indicating the CO2 emission per transportation effort, for example the emitted tons CO2 per ton mile, to be calculated for each new design. The required index for new designs will be gradually lowered in the coming years resulting in either improved energy efficiencies or speed reductions.<br/>...journal article 2016

Iwamoto, Rikako (author), Rodrigues Santos, A.L. (author), Chavannes, Niels (author), Reis, Ria (author), Diehl, J.C. (author)Background: The lack of adequate information about fever in low-resource settings, its unreliable self-assessment, and poor diagnostic practices may result in delayed care and under-or-overdiagnosis of diseases such as malaria. The mismatches of existing fever thermometers in the context of use imply that the diagnostic tools and connected...journal article 2017

Keusters, A.C.A.M. (author), Batelaan, F.G.M. (author), Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author), Houwing, E.J. (author), Bakker, H.L.M. (author)Purpose:<br/>The increasing complexity of civil engineering projects necessitates focusing on new competencies of project participants. Based on the research on team performance and design processes that are more closely linked to the relevance of the project context, it is hypothesised that empathic abilities could play an important role in...journal article 2023

Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Gil-Pérez, Ignacio (author)This research investigates how consumers evaluate returnable packaging for fast-moving consumer goods. Through three online studies, we analysed how returnable packaging influences consumer behavioural intentions (intention to recommend and repurchase intention), overall attitudes and product perceptions (attitude towards the product,...journal article 2023

van Bergeijk, H.D. (author), Lu, L. (author)This article examines the development of Dutch modern architecture from the perspective of the changing role of form in architectural creation. The fields of ‘building’ and ‘design’ were not inherently connected. The relationship between the two was installed and intensified in the first decennia of the 20th century. But at a certain moment...journal article 2023

Rooij, R.M. (author), van Dorst, M.J. (author)The aim of this commentary is to present the position that a pattern language approach facilitates, even catalyzes (comparative) learning in planning for young professionals. This position builds on literature and is supported by the research work of six MSc Urbanism graduation projects, in which the students adopted a pattern language approach....journal article 2020

Joustra, J.J. (author), Flipsen, Bas (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Composite materials are an attractive material choice as they enable lightweight, low-maintenance products with a long lifespan. Recycling these materials, however, remains a chal-lenge. Homogeneous material composition and the use of thermoset matrices complicate repro-cessing, and result in low-grade recyclate. This means that closing the...journal article 2021

Ummels, R. (author), Castro, Saullo G.P. (author)Recent research on variable stiffness laminates have shown both numerically and experimentally that further improvement on the buckling performance is possible by incorporating overlaps that result in variable thickness profiles. We present the concept of overlap-stiffened designs that take advantage of the non-linear coupling between the tow...journal article 2021

Esnaf-Uslu, P. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author), Schifferstein, Hendrik N.J. (author)This article introduces the concept of mood sensitivity: a service agent's ability to detect mood during service encounters and customize their interaction style accordingly, with the purpose of improving service encounters as a whole. We report on an experience sampling study that explored the role that mood plays in service provision....journal article 2022

Miao, X. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Reusable packaging systems (RPSs) can significantly reduce single-use packaging waste. However, knowledge about consumers’ adoption of this kind of packaging is scarce. We adopted a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews with consumers (n = 27) who had actually used an RPS and follow-up phone interviews to capture consumer behaviour...journal article 2023

Sheoratan, Sathyam (author), Henze, Ineke (author), de Vries, M.J. (author), Barendsen, Erik (author)Design activities are gaining interest as rich contexts for learning science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects. STEM teachers may find this challenging however, as designing requires support that they are not used to providing. In a subject like chemistry, teachers would have to balance creativity and responsibility for...journal article 2023

Joustra, J.J. (author), Flipsen, Bas (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Composite materials offer many advantages during the use phase, but recovery at the end of a lifecycle remains a challenge. Structural reuse, where an end of life product is segmented into construction elements, may be a promising alternative. However, composites are often used in large, complex shaped products with optimised material...journal article 2021
