Roscoe, K. (author), Diermanse, F. (author), Vrouwenvelder, T. (author)Computing system reliability when system components are correlated presents a challenge because it usually requires solving multi-fold integrals numerically, which is generally infeasible due to the computational cost. In Dutch flood defense reliability modeling, an efficient method for computing the failure probability of a system of correlated...journal article 2015

Gourdin-Bertin, S. (author), Chassagne, C. (author), Bernard, O. (author), Jardat, M. (author)In the framework of irreversible thermodynamics, we show that the sedimentation current in electrolyte solutions is mathematically equivalent to the low frequency limit of the ionic vibration current, appearing in the presence of an acoustic wave. This non-trivial result is obtained thanks to a careful choice of the reference frame used to...journal article 2015

Chen, C. (author), Gross, H.G. (author), Zaidman, A.E. (author)Due to their loosely coupled and highly dynamic nature, service-oriented systems offer many benefits for realizing fault tolerance and supporting trustworthy computing. They enable automatic system reconfiguration when a faulty service is detected. Spectrum-based fault localization (SFL) is a statistics-based diagnosis technique that can be...journal article 2015

Steenhuisen, B.M. (author), De Bruijne, M.L.C. (author)Background Energy network companies are commonly attributed the public task to help society in becoming greener in the domain of energy. This extra public task has high costs and comes with high uncertainties. It may also compete with existing public tasks of network companies. When network companies are involved in local green initiatives, they...journal article 2015

Singerling, T. (author), Klievink, A.J. (author), De Reuver, G.A. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)Organizations do not just decide on whether or not to exchange information digitally. In many cases, there are multiple alternative configurations of inter-organizational systems (IOS) that facilitate such information sharing. Although a lot is known about the factors that influence whether organizations do or do not adopt IOS, little is known...conference paper 2015

Pungas, E. (author), Täht, K. (author), Realo, A. (author), Tammaru, T. (author)This paper examines factors that shape intentions to study abroad. Previous research highlights the importance of various forms of capital - human, economic, social, cultural and mobility capital - as well as of personality traits in the formation of the intention to complete education in foreign countries. Our specific focus is on ethnic...journal article 2015

Roy, P.N.S. (author), Gupta, D.K. (author)Earthquakes are seismic phenomena caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust. Their effects range from ground shaking to faulting. Geological and geophysical studies, especially in light of plate tectonic theory have been used to explain the occurrence of earthquakes. Thus from the point of view of statistical fractals,...journal article 2015

Nieuwenhuis, J.G. (author), Yu, R. (author), Branje, S. (author), Meeus, W. (author), Hooimeijer, P. (author)We studied how personality moderates the effect of neighbourhood disadvantage on work commitment and unemployment in early adulthood. Using a personality typolo-gy of resilients, overcontrollers, and undercontrollers, we hypothesised that the association between neighbourhood poverty and both work commitment and unemployment would be stronger...report 2015

Xu, J. (author), Broekens, D.J. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)The aim of our work is to design bodily mood expressions of humanoid robots for interactive settings that can be recognized by users and have (positive) effects on people who interact with the robots. To this end, we develop a parameterized behavior model for humanoid robots to express mood through body language. Different settings of the...journal article 2015

(author)Purpose In orthopaedics, minimally invasive injection of bone cement is an established technique. We present HipRFX, a software tool for planning and guiding a cement injection procedure for stabilizing a loosening hip prosthesis. HipRFX works by analysing a pre-operative CT and intraoperative C-arm fluoroscopic images. Methods HipRFX simulates...journal article 2015

Farahani, H. (author), Xu, W. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author)In this research, the effects of Mn and Si concentration and that of the isothermal intercritical holding temperature on the austenite-to-ferrite (? ? ?) and the martensite-to-austenite (?? ? ?) phase transformations are studied for a series of Fe-C-Mn-Si steels with up to 7 wt pct Mn. The model is based on the local equilibrium (LE) concept....journal article 2015

Yao, Y. (author), Docter, M. (author), De Ridder, D. (author), Joo, C. (author)Proteins are vital in all biological systems as they constitute the main structural and functional components of cells. Recent advances in mass spectrometry have brought the promise of complete proteomics by helping draft the human proteome. Yet, this commonly used protein sequencing technique has fundamental limitations in sensitivity. Here we...journal article 2015
