van Dongen, Elize (author), Houben, Tom (author), Kwa, Cecile (author), de Man, Max (author), Meinema, Guus (author), van Vliet, Juwe (author)This research addresses how Ricanau Mofo, a low-lying village in Surinam, can become a more water-adaptive and sustainable village, while it faces land erosion, river bank erosion, changing rainfall patterns and sea level rise. It is urgent to intervene, as these issues are expected to increase in occurrence due to climate change. Constraints...student report 2023

Houben, Jort (author)A common problem in wireless communication is the existence of multipath propagation. This means that a transmitted signal is received multiple times because of reflections caused by the environment. We present two ways of modeling multipath propagation of an acoustic underwater signal. We discretise these models to solve them numerically....bachelor thesis 2023

Houben, A.L. (author), Soleymani Shishvan, M. (author)Mineral resource modelling (MRM) requires enough geological information to define the geological model. The success of a mining project is supported by the accuracy of this model and its interpretation. Major failures can occur as a result of an incorrect degree of uncertainty quantification in the geological/geometallurgical models. There are...abstract 2023

Houben, Aafje (author)Mineral Resource Modeling (MRM) is used to predict the properties of an orebody, however it does not come without uncertainties. Multiple approaches can be used to reduce the latter. Due to limited knowledge about the subsurface, predictions are difficult to be made. In this thesis the application of Bayesian Evidential Learning (BEL), in order...bachelor thesis 2022

(author)How can humans remain in control of artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems designed to perform tasks autonomously? Such systems are increasingly ubiquitous, creating benefits - but also undesirable situations where moral responsibility for their actions cannot be properly attributed to any particular person or group. The concept of...journal article 2022

Pradena, Mauricio (author), Houben, L.J.M. (author), César, Andrés (author)Generally, joint performance in concrete pavements is evaluated in laboratory by applying dynamic loads that require large scale experimental setups. In order to propose a simplified laboratory test, a comprehensive literary review of the fundamentals of load transfer at joints is made, and the load transfer efficiency obtained via a reduced...journal article 2022

Landman, H.M. (author), Kalogeras, Dimitrios (author), Houben, Mark (author), Groen, Eric L. (author)Background: Previous research has shown that experiencing motion stimuli negatively impacts cognitive performance. Objective: In the current study, we investigate whether this impact relates to Type-II spatial disorientation (SD), to motion stimulus magnitude, or to an interaction of these factors. Method: Stimuli for participants (n = 23)...journal article 2022

Houben, Georg J. (author), Collins, Sarah (author), Bakker, M. (author), Daffner, Thomas (author), Triller, Falk (author), Kacimov, Anvar (author)Horizontal wells play an often overlooked role in hydrogeology and aquifer remediation but can be an interesting option for many applications. This study reviews the constructional and hydraulic aspects that distinguish them from vertical wells. Flow patterns towards them are much more complicated than those for vertical wells, which makes their...journal article 2022

Ionescu, A. (author), Katsifodimos, A (author), Houben, G.J.P.M. (author)As data is produced at an unprecedented rate, the need and ex- pectation to make it easily available for the end-users is growing. Dataset Discovery has become an important subject in the data management community, as it represents the means of providing the data to the user and fulfilling an information need. Since the end-user is the one that...conference paper 2021

Siachamis, G. (author), Houben, G.J.P.M. (author), van Deursen, A. (author), Katsifodimos, A (author)Data Integration has been a long-standing and challenging problem for enterprises and researchers. Data residing in multiple heterogeneous sources must be integrated and prepared such that the valuable information that it carries, can be extracted and analysed. However, the volume and the velocity of the produced data in addition to the modern...conference paper 2021

Balayn, A.M.A. (author), Lofi, C. (author), Houben, G.J.P.M. (author)The increasing use of data-driven decision support systems in industry and governments is accompanied by the discovery of a plethora of bias and unfairness issues in the outputs of these systems. Multiple computer science communities, and especially machine learning, have started to tackle this problem, often developing algorithmic solutions to...journal article 2021

van Alphen, G.A. (author), Qiu, S. (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Houben, G.J.P.M. (author)In online crowd mapping, crowd workers recruited through crowdsourcing marketplaces collect geographic data. Compared to traditional mapping methods, where workers physically explore the area, the benefit of using online crowd mapping is the potential to be cost-effective and time-efficient. Previous studies have focused on mapping urban objects...conference paper 2020

Ren, D. (author), Houben, L.J.M. (author)Unlike the notched specimens for conventional concrete fracture tests, this paper introduces a deformation-controlled uniaxial tensile test on an un-notched specimen. The surface of the dog bone-shaped specimen is a second order parabolic curve, and the gradual change in the specimen shape does not lead to extreme stress concentrations....journal article 2020
