Walraven, E.M.P. (author), Spaan, M.T.J. (author)In several real-world domains it is required to plan ahead while there are finite resources available for executing the plan. The limited availability of resources imposes constraints on the plans that can be executed, which need to be taken into account while computing a plan. A Constrained Partially Observable Markov Decision Process ...journal article 2018

Forbes, P.A. (author), Fice, Jason B. (author), Siegmund, Gunter P. (author), Blouin, Jean Sébastien (author)Neck muscle activity evoked by vestibular stimuli is a clinical measure for evaluating the function of the vestibular apparatus. Cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) are most commonly measured in the sternocleidomastoid muscle (and more recently the splenius capitis muscle) in response to air-conducted sound, bone-conducted...journal article 2018

Roijers, Diederik M. (author), Walraven, E.M.P. (author), Spaan, M.T.J. (author)Iteratively solving a set of linear programs (LPs) is a common strategy for solving various decision-making problems in Artificial Intelligence, such as planning in multi-objective or partially observable Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). A prevalent feature is that the solutions to these LPs become increasingly similar as the solving algorithm...conference paper 2018

Sun, S. (author), Kooij, B.J. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)Cross-correlated contrast source inversion (CC-CSI) is a nonlinear iterative inversion method that is proposed recently for solving the inverse scattering problems. In CC-CSI, a cross-correlated error is constructed and introduced to the cost functional, which improves the inversion ability when compared to the classical design of the cost...journal article 2018

Elzas, A. (author), Klaver, T.P.C. (author), Thijsse, B.J. (author)The behaviour of 11 differently oriented iron-precipitate interfaces under a shear load is studied with molecular dynamics simulations. We find that the behaviour depends not only on the interface orientation but also on the shear direction. Furthermore, for many interfaces the presence of a dislocation at the interface triggers a structure...journal article 2018

Schröder, E. (author)The article uses a demand-constrained small-open-economy model in the tradition of Keynes and Kalecki to study the effects of offshoring on aggregate demand and domestic employment. Offshoring is represented as labor-saving import-using technical change. The results depend on the behavior of the markup on unit costs. If higher markups absorb...journal article 2018

(author)In this study, a new self-healing shape memory polymer (SMP) coating was prepared to protect the aluminum alloy 2024-T3 from corrosion by the incorporation of dual-function microspheres containing polycaprolactone and the corrosion inhibitor 8-hydroxyquinoline (8HQ). The self-healing properties of the coatings were investigated via scanning...journal article 2018

van der Kruk, E. (author), Reijne, M.M. (author)Objective: Sport research often requires human motion capture of an athlete. It can, however, be labour-intensive and difficult to select the right system, while manufacturers report on specifications which are determined in set-ups that largely differ from sport research in terms of volume, environment and motion. The aim of this review is...review 2018

Cavallo, D. (author), Syed, W.H. (author), Neto, A. (author)In this work we report on the design, manufacturing and testing of a dual-polarized array of connected slots radiating in the presence of an artificial dielectric superstrate. The prototype array consists of 512 elements, i.e. 16×16 connected slots for each of the two polarizations. The antenna array is realized with a single multi-layer printed...conference paper 2018

(author), Koenderink, Gijsje (author), Masereeuw, Rosalinde (author), Hennink, Wim E. (author), Vermonden, Tina (author)Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are of interest for biomedical applications because of their ability to retain proteins (e.g. growth factors) involved in cell-to-cell signaling processes. In this study, the potential of GAG-based microgels for protein delivery and their protein release kinetics upon encapsulation in hydrogel scaffolds were...journal article 2018

van Wegberg, R.S. (author), Oerlemans, Jan-Jaap (author), van Deventer, Oskar (author)Purpose: This paper aims to shed light into money laundering using bitcoin. Digital payment methods are increasingly used by criminals to launder money obtained through cybercrime. As many forms of cybercrime are motivated by profit, a solid cash-out strategy is required to ensure that crime proceeds end up with the criminals themselves without...journal article 2018

Cortico-cortical connectivity generally increases, whereas subcortico-cortical connections often decrease. Little is known about connectivity changes amongst different subcortical regions in typical development. Methods: This...journal article 2018

van Dokkum, J.S. (author), Khajeh Salehani, M. (author), Irani, N. (author), Nicola, L. (author)The relative contact area of rough surface contacts is known to increase linearly with reduced pressure, with proportionality factor κ. In its common definition, the reduced pressure contains the root-mean-square gradient (RMSG) of the surface. Although easy to measure, the RMSG of the entire surface does not coincide, at small loads, with...journal article 2018

Kumar, V. (author), Savenije, F.J. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)Increasing demands in decentralized power plants have focused attention on Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs). However, accessing high range of power from VAWTs is an impediment due to increased loads on the turbine blades. Here, we derive an optimal pitching action that reduces the periodic disturbance on turbine blades of VAWTs without...conference paper 2018
