ROCK and the actomyosin network control biomineral growth and morphology during sea urchin skeletogenesis

Hijaze, Eman (author), Gildor, Tsvia (author), Seidel, Ronald (author), Layous, Majed (author), Winter, M.R. (author), Bertinetti, Luca (author), Politi, Yael (author), Ben-Tabou de-Leon, Smadar (author)

Biomineralization had apparently evolved independently in different phyla, using distinct minerals, organic scaffolds, and gene regulatory networks (GRNs). However, diverse eukaryotes from unicellular organisms, through echinoderms to vertebrates, use the actomyosin network during biomineralization. Specifically, the actomyosin remodeling...

Randomized Testing of Byzantine Fault Tolerant Algorithms

Winter, Levin N. (author), Buşe, Florena (author), de Graaf, Daan (author), von Gleissenthall, Klaus (author), Kulahcioglu Ozkan, Burcu (author)

Byzantine fault-tolerant algorithms promise agreement on a correct value, even if a subset of processes can deviate from the algorithm arbitrarily. While these algorithms provide strong guarantees in theory, in practice, protocol bugs and implementation mistakes may still cause them to go wrong. This paper introduces ByzzFuzz, a simple yet...

Post DC Fault Circulating Current Suppression Control

Kamat Tarcar, R. (author), Shetgaonkar, A.D. (author), Popov, M. (author), van der Meijden, M.A.M.M. (author), Winter, Wilhelm (author), Ndreko, M. (author), Dimitrovski, R. (author), Burkhardt, Matthias (author), Lekić, A. (author)

The radial topology of the Multi-terminal High Voltage Direct Current (MTDC) power system is a preferred connection for the gigawatt- renewable power due to its scalability and reliability. However, a radial topology with a metallic return bipolar converter configuration MTDC network possesses technical challenges regarding DC fault current...

Parking space for shared automated vehicles: How less can be more

Winter, M.K.E. (author), Cats, O. (author), Martens, Karel (author), van Arem, B. (author)

With the anticipated introduction of self-driving vehicles, new challenges arise for urban transport- and planning authorities. This study contributes to the efforts of formulating the potential opportunities and threats stemming from the introduction of larger fleets of self-driving vehicles to our cities, and what action could be taken by...

Providing Public Transport by Self-Driving Vehicles: User Preferences, Fleet Operation, and Parking Management

Winter, M.K.E. (author)

Self-driving vehicles could make the operation of public transport services in a more flexible manner more affordable. Introducing shared automated vehicles would al¬low operating a fleet of smaller vehicles in a demand responsive manner. This could potentially impact the way we use and operate public transport services, which could eventually...

Relocating shared automated vehicles under parking constraints: assessing the impact of different strategies for on-street parking

Winter, M.K.E. (author), Cats, O. (author), Martens, Karel (author), van Arem, B. (author)

With shared mobility services becoming increasingly popular and vehicle automation technology advancing fast, there is an increasing interest in analysing the impacts of large-scale deployment of shared automated vehicles. In this study, a large fleet of shared automated vehicles providing private rides to passengers is introduced to an agent...

Identifying user classes for shared and automated mobility services

Winter, M.K.E. (author), Cats, O. (author), Martens, Karel (author), van Arem, B. (author)

New forms of shared mobility such as free-floating car-sharing services and shared automated vehicles have the potential to change urban travel behaviour. In this paper, we identify potential user classes for these new modes. For this, a stated choice experiment on mode choice among a sample of the Dutch urban population has been conducted,...

The Impact of User Location on Cookie Notices: (Inside and Outside of the European Union)

Van Eijk, Rob (author), Asghari, H. (author), Winter, Philipp (author), Narayanan, Arvind (author)

The web is global, but privacy laws differ by country. Which set of privacy rules do websites follow? We empirically study this question by detecting and analyzing cookie notices in an automated way. We crawl 1,500 European, American,and Canadian websites from each of 18 countries. We detect cookie notices on 40% of websites in our sample. We...

Taking the self-driving bus: A passenger choice experiment

Winter, M.K.E. (author), Wien, Joost (author), Molin, E.J.E. (author), Cats, O. (author), Morsink, Peter (author), van Arem, B. (author)

At the brink of the introduction of self-driving vehicles, only little is known about how potential users perceive them. This is especially true for self-driving vehicles deployed in public transport services. In this study, the relative preferences for a trip with a self-driving bus is assessed compared to a trip with a regular bus, based on...

Monitoring-aware IDEs

Winter, J. (author), Aniche, Maurício (author), Cito, Jürgen (author), van Deursen, A. (author)

Engineering modern large-scale software requires software developers to not solely focus on writing code, but also to continuously examine monitoring data to reason about the dynamic behavior of their systems. These additional monitoring responsibilities for developers have only emerged recently, in the light of DevOps culture. Interestingly,...

Measuring imperfections of water quality sensors in water distribution networks

Winter, Casper de (author), Palleti, Venkata Reddy (author), Worm, Daniel (author), Kooij, Robert (author)

Water distribution networks (WDNs) are critical to provide safe, clean drinking water around the globe. However, they are susceptible to accidental or deliberate contamination, potentially resulting in poisoned water, many fatalities and large economic consequences. In order to protect against such intrusions, an efficient sensor network...

Performance Analysis and Fleet Requirements of Automated Demand-Responsive Transport Systems as an Urban Public Transport Service

Winter, M.K.E. (author), Cats, O. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), van Arem, B. (author)

The introduction of public transport services by fully automated vehicles can potentially change the way public transit services will be operated, as they allow shifting from rigid scheduled and route-bound services towards flexible, demand-responsive services. This study examines the potential performance of an Automated Demand Responsive...

Roy, S. (author), Hermans, F.F.J. (author), Aivaloglou, E.A. (author), Winter, J. (author), van Deursen, A. (author)

Spreadsheets are popular end-user computing applications and one reason behind their popularity is that they offer a large degree of freedom to their users regarding the way they can structure their data. However, this flexibility also makes spreadsheets difficult to understand. Textual documentation can address this issue, yet for supporting...

Transport is a key enabler of economic and social activity, but also the source of environmental concerns and other negative externalities. The efficiency of a transport system affects the costs and environmental impacts of the growing volumes of passengers and freight. According to the White Paper (2011), innovation is essential for the...

A field numerical study into rip currents in wind-sea dominated environments

Winter, G. (author), van Dongeren, A. (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), van Thiel de Vries, J.S.M. (author)

Rip currents are wave-induced and off-shore directed flows which occur frequently in the surf zone and can pose a serious threat to swimmers. While the behaviour of rip currents has been studied in swell-dominated environments, less is known about their characteristics in wind-sea dominated environments. This study aims to improve the knowledge...
