Weijers, Robert J. (author), de Koning, Björn B. (author), Scholten, Ester (author), Wong, L.Y.J. (author), Paas, Fred (author)Asking questions is vital for learning, yet students seldom exhibit this behavior. Given the increasing presence of online classrooms in tertiary education, it is much needed to examine ways to encourage students to ask questions and increase their engagement. Despite the critical role of asking questions to enhance learning, little is known...journal article 2024

Corbera Rubio, F. (author), Stouten, G.R. (author), Bruins, Jantinus (author), Dost, Simon F. (author), Merkel, Alexander Y. (author), Müller, S. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), van Halem, D. (author), Laureni, M. (author)Nitrate leaching from agricultural soils is increasingly found in groundwater, a primary source of drinking water worldwide. This nitrate influx can potentially stimulate the biological oxidation of iron in anoxic groundwater reservoirs. Nitrate-dependent iron-oxidizing (NDFO) bacteria have been extensively studied in laboratory settings, yet...journal article 2024

(author), de Visser, P.J. (author)Parallel-plate capacitors (PPC) significantly reduce the size of superconducting microwave resonators, reducing the pixel pitch for arrays of single-photon energy-resolving kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs). The frequency noise of KIDs is typically limited by tunneling two-level systems (TLS), which originate from lattice defects in the...journal article 2024

Pelka, S. (author), Preuß, Sabine (author), Stute, Judith (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)Households equipped with flexible technologies, such as electric vehicles, can support the energy transition by shifting electricity consumption to times of high renewable supply and by preventing consumption peaks that cannot be covered by existing grid and generation infrastructure. Demand response services support households in performing...journal article 2024

Horvath, I. (author), Abou Eddahab-Burke, F. (author)There are many large-scale, transdisciplinary research problematics associated with next-generation cyber-physical systems, which are difficult to capture, analyze, and transfer into sharable research models. This two-part paper is intended to contribute to a better understanding and to provide a systematic approach to describing, scoping, and...journal article 2024

Shao, X. (author), Pustina, P. (author), Stölzle, Maximilian (author), Sun, Guanghui (author), De Luca, Alessandro (author), Wu, Ligang (author), Della Santina, C. (author)Model-based strategies are a promising solution to the grand challenge of equipping continuum soft robots with motor intelligence. However, finite-dimensional models of these systems are inherently inaccurate, thus posing pressing robustness concerns. Moreover, the actuation space of soft robots is usually limited. This article aims at solving...journal article 2024

Zhou, Jianfeng (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)When a major chemical accident occurs, emergency response is an important measure to reduce accident losses. Some actions in an emergency response may be more important than others in reducing accident losses, so they need to be carried out as a matter of priority. The impact of the number of emergency personnel on the relationship between...journal article 2024

Blom, H.A.P. (author)The transition kernel of an ℝ <sup>n</sup>-valued diffusion or jump diffusion process {X <sub>t</sub>} is known to satisfy the Feller property if {X <sub>t</sub>} is the solution of an SDE whose coefficients are Lipschitz continuous. This Lipschitz route to Feller falls short if {X <sub>t</sub>} is the solution of an SDE whose coefficients...journal article 2024

Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), van Middelkoop, C. (author)We present a framework that connects ideas from the visual arts and visual perception. It adapts two existing frameworks for the analysis of form and content so that it can be used in an educational context for teaching perception through visual arts. The basis is the formal analysis of texture, colour, light, space, and material. This...journal article 2024

Stumpel, J.F.H.J. (author), Volcic, Robert (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author)In European painting, a transition took place where artists started to consciously introduce blurred or soft contours in their works. There may have been several reasons for this. One suggestion in art historical literature is that this may have been done to create a stronger sense of volume in the depicted figures or objects. Here we...journal article 2024

Keshvari, Shaiyan (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author)Humans can rapidly identify materials, such as wood or leather, even within a complex visual scene. Given a single image, one can easily identify the underlying "stuff," even though a given material can have highly variable appearance; fabric comes in unlimited variations of shape, pattern, color, and smoothness, yet we have little trouble...journal article 2024

Liu, Bin (author), Wang, Q. (author), Pollin, Sofie (author)This paper presents a novel transparent amplifying intelligent surface (TAIS) architecture for uplink enhancement in indoor-To-outdoor mmWave communications. The TAIS is an amplifier-based transmissive intelligent surface that can refract and amplify the incident signal, instead of only refracting it with adjustable phase shift by most...journal article 2024

(author)Compliant mechanisms (CMs), along with soft robotics devices formed therewith, may be defined as engineering systems achieving force and motion transmission via the deflection of flexible members. CMs have increasingly gained a strong foothold in the scientific arena owing to their hinge-less nature, shock resistance, potential single-piece...contribution to periodical 2024

Vos, G.M. (author)This thesis deals with multipliers and transference on noncommutative Lp-spaces. It falls within the realm of noncommutative harmonic analysis, i.e. harmonic analysis on noncommutative spaces. Such spaces appear in several areas of mathematics, such as non-abelian groups, quantum groups, noncommutative geometry and the general theory of operator...doctoral thesis 2024
