Kuipers, T. (author), Elkhuizen, W.S. (author), Verlinden, J.C. (author), Doubrovski, E.L. (author)This work presents a halftoning technique to manufacture 3D objects with the appearance of continuous grayscale imagery for Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printers. While droplet-based dithering is a common halftoning technique, this is not applicable to FDM printing, since FDM builds up objects by extruding material in semi-continuous paths....journal article 2018

van Gent, I. (author), la Rocca, G. (author), Hoogreef, M.F.M. (author)This paper proposes a new format to store and exchange multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) systems. Here, the generic term MDO system refers to the set of disciplinary tools, their exchanged data and process connections that, all together, define an MDO computational setup. In the process leading to the formal specification of such a...journal article 2018

STAPP: SpatioTemporal Analysis of Plantar Pressure Measurements using Statistical Parametric MappingBooth, Brian G. (author), Keijsers, Noël L.W. (author), Sijbers, Jan (author), Huysmans, T. (author)<br/>Background<br/><br/>Pedobarography produces large sets of plantar pressure samples that are routinely subsampled (e.g. using regions of interest) or aggregated (e.g. center of pressure trajectories, peak pressure images) in order to simplify statistical analysis and provide intuitive clinical measures.<br/><br/>Research Question<br/><br/>We...journal article 2018

(author), Verweij, M.D. (author), de Jong, N. (author), Pertijs, M.A.P. (author)This paper presents an area- and power-efficient application-specified integrated circuit (ASIC) for 3-D forward-looking intravascular ultrasound imaging. The ASIC is intended to be mounted at the tip of a catheter, and has a circular active area with a diameter of 1.5 mm on the top of which a 2-D array of piezoelectric transducer elements is...journal article 2018

Ayala Valenzuela, M.A. (author), Carinci, G. (author), Redig, F.H.J. (author)We study fluctuation fields of orthogonal polynomials in the context of particle systems with duality. We thereby obtain a systematic orthogonal decomposition of the fluctuation fields of local functions, where the order of every term can be quantified. This implies a quantitative generalization of the Boltzmann–Gibbs principle. In the...journal article 2018

Taghvafard, Hadi (author), Proskurnikov, A.V. (author), Cao, Ming (author)To understand the sophisticated control mechanisms of the human's endocrine system is a challenging task that is a crucial step towards precise medical treatment of many dysfunctions and diseases. Although mathematical models describing the endocrine system as a whole are still elusive, recently some substantial progress has been made in...journal article 2018

Pasma, J.H. (author), Assländer, Lorenz (author), van Kordelaar, J. (author), de Kam, Digna (author), Mergner, Thomas (author), Schouten, A.C. (author)The Independent Channel (IC) model is a commonly used linear balance control model in the frequency domain to analyze human balance control using system identification and parameter estimation. The IC model is a rudimentary and noise-free description of balance behavior in the frequency domain, where a stable model representation is not...journal article 2018

Bullée, Jan Willem (author), Montoya Morales, A.L. (author), Junger, M. (author), Hartel, P.H. (author)Purpose – When security managers choose to deploy a smart lock activation system, the number of units needed and their location needs to be established. This study presents the results of a penetration test involving smart locks in the context of building security. We investigated how the amount of effort an employee has to invest in complying...journal article 2018

Farahani, H. (author), Xu, W. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author)Formation of the microstructural ferrite/pearlite bands in medium Mn steels is an undesirable phenomenon commonly addressed through fast cooling treatments. In this study, a novel approach using the cyclic partial phase transformation concept is applied successfully to prevent microstructural band formation in a micro-chemically banded Fe-C...journal article 2018

(author), Weinans, Harrie (author)An important aspect in cartilage ageing is accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) after exposure to sugars. Advanced glycation results in cross-links formation between the collagen fibrils in articular cartilage, hampering their flexibility and making cartilage more brittle. In the current study, we investigate whether...journal article 2018

Sun, Junzi (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Aircraft mass is a crucial piece of information for studies on aircraft performance, trajectory prediction, and many other topics of aircraft traffic management. However, It is a common challenge for researchers, as well as air traffic control, to access this proprietary information. Previously, several studies have proposed methods to estimate...journal article 2018

(author)Background: The use of motion tracking has been proved to provide an objective assessment in surgical skills training. Current systems, however, require the use of additional equipment or specialised laparoscopic instruments and cameras to extract the data. The aim of this study was to determine the possibility of using a software-based...journal article 2018

van Bijnen, J.A.C. (author), Korving, J.L. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Due to a variety of contaminants in floodwater, exposure to urban pluvial flooding may pose a health risk to humans. In-sewer defects may cause increased pluvial flooding, possibly increasing health risks. This paper addresses the impact of in-sewer defects on urban pluvial flooding and, subsequently, on infection probabilities for humans. As...journal article 2018

However, current research shows the incentives for adopting CI may differ in different regions. While the promotion of CI in China is still at the initial stage, a systematical analysis of the driving factors would help decision makers get a...journal article 2018

Treude, Christoph (author), Aniche, Maurício (author)The documentation of popular APIs is spread across many formats, from vendor-curated reference documentation to Stack Overflow threads. For developers, it is often not obvious from where a particular piece of information can be retrieved. To understand this documentation landscape, we systematically conducted Google searches for the elements of...conference paper 2018

Hermans, F.F.J. (author), Swidan, A.A.S. (author), Aivaloglou, E.A. (author)When children learn to read, they almost invariably start with oral reading: reading the words and sentences out loud. Experiments have shown that when novices read text aloud, their comprehension is better then when reading in silence. This is attributed to the fact that reading aloud focuses the child’s attention to the text. We hypothesize...conference paper 2018

Heerema, S.J. (author), Vicarelli, L. (author), Pud, S. (author), Schouten, R.N. (author), Zandbergen, H.W. (author), Dekker, C. (author)Many theoretical studies predict that DNA sequencing should be feasible by monitoring the transverse current through a graphene nanoribbon while a DNA molecule translocates through a nanopore in that ribbon. Such a readout would benefit from the special transport properties of graphene, provide ultimate spatial resolution because of the single...journal article 2018
