Sauerbrey, M. (author)We construct solutions to the stochastic thin-film equation with quadratic mobility and Stratonovich gradient noise in the physically relevant dimension d = 2 and allow in particular for solutions with non-full support. The construction relies on a Trotter–Kato time-splitting scheme, which was recently employed in d = 1. The additional...journal article 2024

de Wit, J.J. (author), Pieters, Wolter (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Professionals working in both the physical and cybersecurity domain need to assess and evaluate security risks. As information on risks in general and security risks in particular is often imperfect and intractable, these professionals are facing a challenge in judging both likelihood and consequences, but how much do their existing...journal article 2023

Costa, D.C. (author), Simoni, Mario (author), Piccinini, Gianluca (author), Graziano, Mariagrazia (author)The new quantum era is expected to have an unprecedented social impact, enabling the research of tomorrow in several pivotal fields. These perspectives require a physical system able to encode, process and store for a sufficiently long amount of time the quantum information. However, the optimal engineering of currently available quantum...journal article 2023

Karaminis, Themis (author), Hintz, Florian (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)Oral communication often takes place in noisy environments, which challenge spoken-word recognition. Previous research has suggested that the presence of background noise extends the number of candidate words competing with the target word for recognition and that this extension affects the time course and accuracy of spoken-word recognition....journal article 2022

Jin, J. (author), Duan, Yunling (author)The quality of the surrounding rock is crucial to the stability of underground caverns, thereby requiring an effective monitoring technology. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) can reconstruct the subterranean profile by electromagnetic waves, but two significant issues, called clutter and hyperbola tails, affect the signal quality. We propose an...journal article 2021

Balado Frías, J. (author), Arias, Pedro (author), Lorenzo, Henrique (author), Meijide-Rodríguez, Adrián (author)Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) systems have proven their usefulness in the rapid and accurate acquisition of the urban environment. From the generated point clouds, street furniture can be extracted and classified without manual intervention. However, this process of acquisition and classification is not error-free, caused mainly by disturbances...journal article 2021

Wei, Wei (author), Blacquière, G. (author)Focal beam analysis has built a bridge between the acquisition parameters on the surface and the image quality of underground targets. However, as a practical matter, it is still difficult to answer how to choose a proper acquisition geometry according to the complexity of medium, especially considering the contradictory effects of multiple...journal article 2021

Wu, L. (author), Picek, S. (author)In the profiled side-channel analysis, deep learning-based techniques proved to be very successful even when attacking targets protected with countermeasures. Still, there is no guarantee that deep learning attacks will always succeed. Various countermeasures make attacks significantly more complex, and such countermeasures can be further...journal article 2020

Ho-Huu, V. (author), Hartjes, S. (author), Visser, H.G. (author), Curran, R. (author)At many airports, ground track segments may be shared by different departure routes, and the population living underneath these segments is exposed to all aircraft movements which are sent to these routes. This may cause negative community reaction to authorities and policymakers, leading to objections against the expansion of airport and...conference paper 2019

Zhang, D. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Bluyssen, P.M. (author)The acoustic conditions of classrooms received a lot of attention in the last decades because of its important role in school children's comfort and performance. In a previous field study of 54 classrooms from 21 schools in the Netherlands, more than 85% of the 1145 primary school children reported that they were bothered by noise in the...journal article 2019

Drozdova, Polina (author), van Hout, Roeland (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)Native listeners benefit from talker familiarity in recognition memory and word identification, especially in adverse listening conditions. The present study addresses the talker familiarity benefit in non-native listening, and the role of listening conditions and listeners’ lexical proficiency in the emergence of this benefit. Dutch non-native...journal article 2019

Mouter, N. (author), Cabral, Manuel Ojeda (author), Dekker, T. (author), van Cranenburgh, S. (author)Environmental effects of transport projects have a weak position in Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) which might be rooted in the valuation approach adopted in the dominant style of CBA. This conventional valuation approach has been criticized for not valuing positive and negative impacts of transport projects in relation to each other and for not...journal article 2019

Wu, S. (author), Blacquière, G. (author), Adriaan Van Groenestijn, Gert Jan (author)In blended seismic acquisition, or simultaneous source seismic acquisition, source encoding is essential at the acquisition stage to allow for separation of the blended sources at the processing stage. In land seismic surveys, the vibroseis sources may be encoded with near-orthogonal sweeps for blending. In marine seismic surveys, the sweep...journal article 2018

Pieren, R.D. (author)Environmental noise caused by traffic and industrial facilities is a relevant health factor in urban areas, along major traffic routes and in the vicinity of airports. The technique of auralization helps exploring the relationships between sound and its impact on people under fully controlled conditions. Further, by directly addressing the...doctoral thesis 2018

Yang, Yang (author), Li, Diquan (author), Tong, Tiegang (author), Zhang, D. (author), Zhou, Yatong (author), Chen, Yangkang (author)Strong noise is one of the toughest problems in the controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) method, which highly affects the quality of recorded data. The three main types of noise existing in CSEM data are periodic noise, Gaussian white noise, and nonperiodic noise, among which the nonperiodic noise is thought to be the most difficult to...journal article 2018

(author), Rajan, Jeny (author)A phase map can be obtained from the real and imaginary components of a complex valued magnetic resonance (MR) image. Many applications, such as MR phase velocity mapping and susceptibility mapping, make use of the information contained in the MR phase maps. Unfortunately, noise in the complex MR signal affects the measurement of parameters...journal article 2017

Heblij, S.J. (author)Airports around the world continue to face issues related to the environmental impact of aviation. Mitigation measures have therefore been implemented at many of these airports. Attaining an optimal combination of these mitigation measures is a complex process and because of these complexities, this process does not always result in the most...doctoral thesis 2016

Ishiyama, T. (author), Blacquière, G. (author), Verschuur, D.J. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author)Surface waves in seismic data are often dominant in a land or shallow-water environment. Separating them from primaries is of great importance either for removing them as noise for reservoir imaging and characterization or for extracting them as signal for near-surface characterization. However, their complex properties make the surface-wave...journal article 2016

Chen, C. (author), Chen, Z. (author), Chang, Z.Y. (author), Pertijs, M.A.P. (author)This paper presents a power- and area-efficient 9-channel LNA array for piezoelectric ultrasound transducers to enable real-time 3D imaging with miniature endoscopic and catheter-based probes. In view of the relatively low impedance of piezoelectric transducers, the LNA is implemented as a capacitive feedback voltage amplifier, rather than a...conference paper 2015
