The issue of transients in leakage-based model reference adaptive control of switched linear systemsTao, T. (author), Roy, S. (author), Baldi, S. (author)The literature has proven that attaining good transient behavior in leakage-based robust adaptive control of uncertain switched systems is intrinsically challenging. In fact, because the gains of the inactive subsystems must exponentially vanish during inactive times as an effect of leakage action, new learning transients will repeatedly...journal article 2020

Barrio, J. Fernández (author), Mertens, C. (author), Ragni, D. (author), Sciacchitano, A. (author), van Oudheusden, B.W. (author)A proportionate controller is investigated experimentally for unsteady load alleviation purposes on a 2D wing model with a trailing-edge flap. The controller acts on the velocity of the flaps, and pressure sensors are used to detect the unsteady loads, which are generated by actuating the wing model in a sinusoidal motion. Two different...journal article 2020

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Soana, M. (author), Arensman, C. E.C. (author), Swart, F. (author)The tools available to translate climate targets into abatement actions are mainly based on costs and technical feasibility. Options for greenhouse gas abatement span all sectors, all countries, and involve a huge variety of technologies. The reasons for abatement to be realized, or not, are diverse and complex. In particular, the political...journal article 2020

Kammouh, O. (author), Gardoni, Paolo (author), Cimellaro, Gian Paolo (author)Resilience indicators are a convenient tool to assess the resilience of engineering systems. They are often used in preliminary designs or in the assessment of complex systems. This paper introduces a novel approach to assess the time-dependent resilience of engineering systems using resilience indicators. A Bayesian network (BN) approach is...journal article 2020

Knegtmans, Mariëtte F. (author), Wauben, L.S.G.L. (author), Wagemans, Michel F.M. (author), Oldenmenger, Wendy H. (author)Introduction: For adequate pain treatment in patients with cancer, it is important to monitor and evaluate pain regularly. Although the numeric rating scale (NRS) is implemented in hospitals in the Netherlands, pain is still not systematically registered during outpatient consultations. The aim of this study was to assess whether home...journal article 2020

Faragau, Andrei B. (author), de Oliveira Barbosa, J.M. (author), Keijdener, C. (author), Metrikine, A. (author), van Dalen, K.N. (author)Transition radiation is emitted when a source moves along a straight line with constant velocity and acts on or near an inhomogeneous medium [1]. It occurs, for example, when trains cross areas with substantial variation of track properties (e.g., foundation stiffness) encountered near rigid structures such as bridges; these areas are called...abstract 2020

Majid, A.Y. (author), Schilder, Patrick (author), Langendoen, K.G. (author)The main obstacles to achieve truly ubiquitous sensing are (i) the limitations of battery technology - batteries are short-lived, hazardous, bulky, and costly - and (ii) the unpredictability of ambient power. The latter causes sensors to operate intermittently, violating the availability requirements of many real-world applications. In this...conference paper 2020

(author)Inhomogeneities in the refractive index of a biological microscopy sample can introduce phase aberrations, severely impairing the quality of images. Adaptive optics can be employed to correct for phase aberrations and improve image quality. However, conventional adaptive optics can only correct a single phase aberration for the whole field of...journal article 2020

van Veldhuizen, B.N. (author), Hekkenberg, R.G. (author), Codiglia, Luca (author)Global endeavors to reduce emissions in the shipping industry are accelerating the interest in fuel cell system. This paper explores the application of different fuel cell types (LT-PEMFC, HT-PEMFC and SOFC) in combination with different fuels (LH2, LNG, MeOH and NH3) in expedition cruise ships. The goal of this paper is to evaluate the impact...conference paper 2020

(author), Beirle, S. (author), Krol, M. C. (author)Nitrogen dioxide (NO<sub>2</sub>) is a regulated air pollutant that is of particular concern in many cities, where concentrations are high. Emissions of nitrogen oxides to the atmosphere lead to the formation of ozone and particulate matter, with adverse impacts on human health and ecosystems. The effects of emissions are often assessed...journal article 2019

(author)A monocular augmented reality device allows the user to see information that is superimposed on the environment. As it does not stimulate both eyes in the same way, it creates a phenomenon known as binocular rivalry. The question therefore arises as to whether monocular information should be displayed to a particular eye and if an ocular...conference paper 2019

(author)Surfactant alternating gas (SAG) is often the injection strategy used for injecting foam into a reservoir. However, liquid injectivity can be very poor in SAG, and fracturing of the well can occur. Coreflood studies of liquid injectivity directly following foam injection have been reported. We conducted a series of coreflood experiments to study...journal article 2019

At a national level, different parts of a country (e.g. provinces) can be seen as alternatives that can be assessed based on a set of criteria, and ranking them to identify the best location. The focus in this paper is on...journal article 2019
