Braakenburg, M.L. (author), Hartjes, S. (author), Visser, H.G. (author), Hebly, S.J. (author)This paper presents preliminary results from an ongoing research effort towards the development of a multi-event trajectory optimization methodology that allows to synthesize RNAV approach routes that minimize a cumulative measure of noise, taking into account the total noise effect aggregated for all inbound flight movements taking place within...conference paper 2011

(author)Low-temperature magnetic susceptibility and heat-capacity measurements on nanoparticles (d? 2.6 nm) of the antiferromagnetic compounds DyPO4 (TN=3.4 K) and GdPO4 (TN=0.77 K) provide clear demonstrations of finite-size effects, which limit the divergence of the magnetic correlation lengths, thereby suppressing the bulk long-range magnetic...journal article 2011

Visser, W.M. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)Preferences are derived in part from knowledge. Knowledge, however, may be defeasible. We present an argumentation framework for deriving qualitative, multi-attribute preferences and incorporate defeasible reasoning about knowledge. Intuitively, preferences based on defeasible conclusions are not as strong as preferences based on certain...conference paper 2011

Peeters, P. (author), Van Hoestenberghe, T. (author), Vincke, L. (author), Visser, P.J. (author)The use of breach models includes two tasks: predicting breach characteristics and estimating flow through the breach. Strengths and weaknesses as well as opportunities and threats of different simplified and detailed physically-based breach models are listed following theoretical and practical criteria. According to the theoretical criteria,...conference paper 2011

Pang, X. (author), Gbur, G. (author), Visser, T.D. (author)The phase behavior of Airy beams is studied, and their Gouy phase is defined. Analytic expressions for the idealized, infinite-energy type beam are derived. They are shown to be excellent approximations for finite-energy beams generated under typical experimental conditions.journal article 2011

Bouwers, E.M. (author), Correia, J.P. (author), Van Deursen, A. (author), Visser, J. (author)The decomposition of a software system into components is a major decision in any software architecture, having a strong influence on many of its quality aspects. A system’s analyzability, in particular, is influenced by its decomposition into components. But into how many components should a system be decomposed to achieve optimal analyzability...report 2011

Bench-Capon, T. (author), Prakken, H. (author), Visser, W. (author)A formal two-phase model of democratic policy deliberation is presented, in which in the first phase sufficient and necessary criteria for proposals to be accepted are determined (the ‘acceptable’ criteria) and in the second phase proposals are made and evaluated in light of the acceptable criteria resulting from the first phase. Such a...conference paper 2011

Gruber, T. (author), Visser, P.N.A.M. (author), Ackermann, C. (author), Hosse, M. (author)Three GOCE-based gravity field solutions have been computed by ESA’s high-level processing facility and were released to the user community. All models are accompanied by variance-covariance information resulting either from the least squares procedure or a Monte-Carlo approach. In order to obtain independent external quality parameters and to...journal article 2011

Arntzen, M. (author), Van Veen, T.A. (author), Visser, H.G. (author), Simons, D.G. (author)Aircraft noise annoyance predictions based on traditional tools lack fidelity when modelling a single aircraft flyover. For evaluating annoyance of new procedures, different aircraft types or changing atmospheric conditions, a new modelling approach is necessary. A research effort has been initiated to develop a toolchain that links each of the...conference paper 2011

(author)We performed an empirical study of the relation between technical quality of software products and the issue resolution performance of their maintainers. In particular, we tested the hypothesis that ratings for source code maintainability, as employed by the Software Improvement Group (SIG) quality model, are correlated with ratings for issue...journal article 2011

(author)Large earthquakes do not only heavily deform the crust in the vicinity of the fault, they also change the gravity field of the area affected by the earthquake due to mass redistribution in the upper layers of the Earth. Besides that, for sub-oceanic earthquakes deformation of the ocean floor causes relative sea-level changes and mass...conference paper 2011

(author)Two of the GOCE Level 2 products are the gravity gradients (GGs) in the Gradiometer Reference Frame (GRF) and the GGs in the Local North-Oriented Frame (LNOF). The GRF is an instrument frame and the GGs are derived from the L1b GGs. The L1b to L2 GG processing involves corrections for temporal gravity variations, outlier detection and data gap...conference paper 2011

Bouwers, E. (author), Lilienthal, C. (author), Visser, J. (author), Van Deursen, A. (author)Evaluating the complexity of the architecture of a softwaresystem is a difficult task. Many aspects have to be considered to come to a balanced assessment. Several architecture evaluation methods have been proposed, but very few define a quality model to be used during the evaluation process. In addition, those methods that do introduce a...report 2010
