Kortenbout, A.J. (author), Costerus, Sophie (author), Dudink, Jeroen (author), de Jong, N. (author), de Graaff, Jurgen C. (author), Vos, H.J. (author), Bosch, Johan G. (author)Objective: Post-operative brain injury in neonates may result from disturbed cerebral perfusion, but accurate peri-operative monitoring is lacking. High-frame-rate (HFR) cerebral ultrasound could visualize and quantify flow in all detectable vessels using spectral Doppler; however, automated quantification in small vessels is challenging...journal article 2024

Grosfeld, J. J. (author), Schoor, M. M. (author), Taormina, R. (author), Luxemburg, W.M.J. (author), Collas, F. P.L. (author)Current research on riverine macrolitter does not yet provide a theoretic framework on the dynamics behind its accumulation and distribution along riverbanks. In an attempt to better understand these dynamics a detailed field survey of three months was conducted in which location of macrolitter items within a single groyne field along the...journal article 2024

Mulder, K.B. (author), Lubelli, B. (author), Dijkhuis, Edwin (author)Walls overgrown with plants can have a positive impact on urban comfort and contribute to biodiversity in the city. In particular, quay walls, thanks to their close contact with water, have the potential to be ecologically engineered to encourage the growth of herbaceous plants. Different factors can affect growth of vegetation on walls. This...journal article 2023

Raju, Narayana (author), Arkatkar, Shriniwas (author), Easa, Said (author)This paper presents a framework for monitoring highway traffic-stream measures using quality trajectory data of mixed (heterogeneous) traffic. The framework includes a new measure that reflects the attentiveness of the follower driver, called receptiveness angle, in the vehicle-following process. This measure is integrated with the traditional...journal article 2023

Pek, Christian (author), Schuppe, Georg Friedrich (author), Esposito, Francesco (author), Tumova, Jana (author), Kragic, Danica (author)Many tasks require robots to manipulate objects while satisfying a complex interplay of spatial and temporal constraints. For instance, a table setting robot first needs to place a mug and then fill it with coffee, while satisfying spatial relations such as forks need to placed left of plates. We propose the spatio-temporal framework SpaTiaL...journal article 2023

Kueffner, Konstantin (author), Lukina, A. (author), Schilling, Christian (author), Henzinger, Thomas A. (author)Neural-network classifiers achieve high accuracy when predicting the class of an input that they were trained to identify. Maintaining this accuracy in dynamic environments, where inputs frequently fall outside the fixed set of initially known classes, remains a challenge. We consider the problem of monitoring the classification decisions of...journal article 2023

Reinders, K.J. (author), Giardina, Giorgia (author), Zurfluh, Florian (author), Ryser, Jurg (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author)In the planning stage of new infrastructure or when designing renovation of existing infrastructure, information about existing slope movements or settlements is essential to make informed design decisions. Interferometric<br/>Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) techniques can be of value to identify these risks in an early stage of a project....journal article 2022

Fu, J. (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Natural disasters pose a tremendous risk to the reliability of distribution networks. In this paper, a novel real-time UAV routing strategy for coordination between monitoring and inspection for post-disaster restoration in distribution networks is proposed. With our proposed real-time UAV routing strategy, damages can be inspected by UAVs...journal article 2022

(author)Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) are referred to the quasi-DC current flows in power networks, driven by complex space weather-related phenomena. Such currents are a potential threat to the power delivery capability of electrical grids. To mitigate the detrimental impacts of GICs on critical infrastructures, the GICs should be monitored...journal article 2022

Wijsman, Jeroen W.M. (author), Craeymeersch, Johan A. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author)Epifauna and infauna are often sampled by different types of sampling devices including grabs, and dredges, depending on various factors such as local environmental conditions, research questions and available budget. Because grabs and dredges have a different species-specific selectivity, both methods could be complementary but for some...journal article 2022
