Onstein, A.T.C. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), van Damme, Dick (author)Distribution structures, as studied in this paper, involve the spatial layout of the freight transport and storage system used to move goods between production and consumption locations. Decisions on this layout are important to companies as they allow them to balance customer service levels and logistics costs. Until now there has been very...journal article 2018

van Gemert, J.H.F. (author), Brink, W.M. (author), Webb, A. (author), Remis, R.F. (author)Inhomogeneities in the transmit radio frequency magnetic field ( {\text{B}}-{1}^{+} ) reduce the quality of magnetic resonance (MR) images. This quality can be improved by using high-permittivity pads that tailor the {\text{B}}-{1}^{+} fields. The design of an optimal pad is application-specific and not straightforward and would therefore...journal article 2018

Baumgarten, K. (author), Tighe, B.P. (author)When elastic solids are sheared, a nonlinear effect named after Poynting gives rise to normal stresses or changes in volume. We provide a novel relation between the Poynting effect and the microscopic Grüneisen parameter, which quantifies how stretching shifts vibrational modes. By applying this relation to random spring networks, a minimal...journal article 2018

Yadati, N.K. (author), Larson, M.A. (author), Liem, C.C.S. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author)In this paper, we focus on event detection over the timeline of a music track. Such technology is motivated by the need for innovative applications such as searching, non-linearaccess and recommendation. Event detection over the timeline requires time-code level labels in order to train machine learning dels. We use timed comments from...journal article 2018

Baumann, M.M. (author), van Gijzen, M.B. (author)In this paper we present a comparison study of three different frameworks of iterative Krylov methods that we have recently developed for the simultaneous numerical solution of frequency-domain wave propagation problems when multiple wave frequencies are present. The three approaches have in common that they require the application of a...journal article 2018

Gandini, E. (author), Tamminen, Aleksi (author), Luukanen, Arttu (author), Llombart, Nuria (author)A wide field of view (FOV) inversely magnified dual-lens system for submillimeter wavelength imagers is presented in this paper. The antenna is designed for near-field focusing, at a range of 2.1 m from the primary aperture and to work in the frequency range from 200 to 600 GHz. The half-power beamwidth (HPBW) is 0.27° (1 cm in the image...journal article 2018

Isufi, E. (author), Mahabir, Ashvant S.U. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)This letter investigates methods to detect graph topological changes without making any assumption on the nature of the change itself. To accomplish this, we merge recently developed tools in graph signal processing with matched subspace detection theory and propose two blind topology change detectors. The first detector exploits the prior...journal article 2018

Prisacaru, Alexandru (author), Palczynska, Alicja (author), Theissler, Andreas (author), Gromala, Przemyslaw (author), Han, Bongtae (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)Recent advancements in automotive technologies, most notably autonomous driving, demand electronic systems much more complex than those realized in the past. The automotive industry has been forced to adopt advanced consumer electronics to satisfy the demand, and thus it becomes more challenging to assess system reliability while adopting the...journal article 2018

(author)Wildfires are a growing concern in the Mediterranean area. Prescribed burning (PB) is often used to reduce fire risk, through fine fuel reduction. However, the monitoring of PB effects on ecosystem processes is mandatory before its spread. This study aims to assess hydrological effects of PB on the topsoil by controlled laboratory experiments...journal article 2018

Eker, S. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author)Many-Objective Robust Decision Making (MORDM) is a prominent model-based approach for dealing with deep uncertainty. MORDM has four phases: a systems analytical problem formulation, a search phase to generate candidate solutions, a trade-off analysis where different strategies are compared across many objectives, and a scenario discovery...journal article 2018

(author)For absorption refrigeration, it has been shown that ionic liquids have the potential to replace conventional working pairs. Due to the huge number of possibilities, conducting lab experiments to find the optimal ionic liquid is infeasible. Here, we provide a proof-of-principle study of an alternative computational approach. The required...journal article 2018

Zhang, H. (author), Šavija, B. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)The aim of this paper is to investigate the fracture performance of cement paste at micro scale by both experimental and numerical methods. Micro cubic specimens with length of 100 µm were fabricated by precision cutting, grinding and micro-dicing, and tested by splitting with a wedge tip mounted on a nano-indenter. A nominal splitting...journal article 2018

(author), Marin, F. (author)According to quantum mechanics, if we keep observing a continuous variable we generally disturb its evolution. For a class of observables, however, it is possible to implement a so-called quantum nondemolition measurement: by confining the perturbation to the conjugate variable, the observable is estimated with arbitrary accuracy, or prepared...journal article 2018
