Michailidis, IT (author), Baldi, S. (author), Pichler, MF (author), Kosmatopoulos, EB (author), Santiago, JR (author)Energy efficient passive designs and constructions have been extensively studied in the last decades as a way to improve the ability of a building to store thermal energy, increase its thermal mass, increase passive insulation and reduce heat losses. However, many studies show that passive thermal designs alone are not enough to fully exploit...journal article 2015

Dodou, D. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)This random‐effects meta‐analysis investigates the accuracy of self‐reported colorectal cancer screening history as a function of screening mode (colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, faecal occult blood testing – FOBT, double‐contrast barium enema – DCBE) and survey mode (written, telephone, face‐to‐face). Summary estimates of sensitivity,...journal article 2015

Huang, Yilin (author), Warnier, Martijn (author), Brazier, F.M. (author), Miorandi, Daniele (author)Emerging smart grids have promising potentials to make energy management more efficient than currently possible in today’s power grids. Integration of small scale renewables, distributed charging of electrical vehicles and virtual power stations are some of the technological innovations made possible by smart grids. Besides these technological...conference paper 2015

Negeri, E.O. (author), Kuipers, F.A. (author), Baken, N.H.G. (author)The electric power grid is a critical infrastructure that delivers electricity from power generation sources to consumers. At this time, renewable and distributed sources of electricity as well as new technologies that introduce large loads are significantly changing load profiles in low-voltage grids. This trend calls for reassessing the...journal article 2015

de Weerdt, M.M. (author), Stein, Sebastian (author), Gerding, Enrico (author), Robu, Valentin (author), Jennings, Nick (author)This paper introduces a novel intention-aware routing system (IARS) for electric vehicles. This system enables vehicles to compute a routing policy that minimizes their expected journey time while considering the policies, or intentions, of other vehicles. Considering such intentions is critical for electric vehicles, which may need to recharge...journal article 2015

Visser, Eelco (author)In this essay, I argue that linguistic abstraction should be used systematically as a tool to capture our emerging understanding of domains of computation. Moreover, to enable that systematic application, we need to capture our understanding of the domain of linguistic abstraction itself in higher-level meta languages. The argument is...journal article 2015

Pargar, F. (author), Koleva, D.A. (author), van Breugel, K. (author)Free chloride ions are the main cause of steel corrosion in reinforced concrete structures. Ag/AgCl electrodes, as chloride sensors, are predominantly sensitive to chloride ions and respond electrochemically to the chloride ion activity in the environment. This is reflected by changes of the open circuit potential (OCP) of the sensors. To...conference paper 2015

Brous, P.A. (author), Herder, P.M. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)More and more asset management organizations are relying on trusted data to drive their decision making process. Yet little systematic research has been performed regarding the generation of trusted data. Trusted data has a clear, defined and consistent quality which meets the expectations of the user. The aim of the research presented in this...journal article 2015

(author)Magmatic settings involving active volcanism are potential locations for economic geothermal systems due to the occurrence of high temperature and steam pressures. Indonesia, located along active plate margins, hosts more than 100 volcanoes and, therefore, belongs to the regions with the greatest geothermal potential worldwide. However, tropical...journal article 2015

Saffarian, M (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Senders, J.W. (author)It is commonly accepted that vision plays an important role in car braking, but it is unknown how people brake in the absence of visual information. In this simulator study, we measured drivers’ braking behaviour while they had to stop their car at designated positions on the road. The access to visual information was manipulated by occluding...journal article 2015

Bakker, D.L. (author), Matsuura, D. (author), Takeda, Y (author), Herder, J.L. (author)Continuum manipulators are high degree of freedom structures that can use their increased degrees of freedom to navigate through an environment with obstacles. This type of manipulator is underactuated, which make them promising for adapting to their environments. However, current research is mainly focused on accurate positioning and obstacle...conference paper 2015

Keyvani Janbahan, A. (author), Sadeghian Marnani, H. (author), Goosen, J.F.L. (author), van Keulen, A. (author)The maximum amount of repulsive force applied to the surface plays a very important role in damage of tip or sample in Atomic Force Microscopy(AFM). So far, many investigations have focused on peak repulsive forces in tapping mode AFM in steady state conditions. However, it is known that AFM could be more damaging in transient conditions. In...conference paper 2015

Herder, J.L. (author), Lustig, M.P. (author), Dunning, A.G. (author)A statically balanced system is in equilibrium in every pose. In classical balancing solutions for serial linkages, each DOF is balanced by an independent element. Disadvantages are increased mass and inertia for counter-mass, and auxiliary links for spring solutions. Recent literature presents a method for balancing serial linkages without...conference paper 2015

Radaelli, G. (author), Herder, J.L. (author)A new monolithic fully compliant gravity balancer is designed with help of a design approach based on shape optimization. The balancer consists of one single complex-shaped beam on which the weight is attached. The beam is modeled as a planar isogeometric Bernoulli beam. The goal function of the optimization consists of an energy based...conference paper 2015

Lager, I.E. (author)The pulsed-field excited array antenna performance is studied via full time-domain instruments. The directional distribution of radiated energy and the directional (system) fidelity factor are employed as performance metrics. Illustrative numerical experiments highlight the expedient radiation features that are specific to pulse-train excited,...conference paper 2015

Stumpf, M. (author), Lager, I.E. (author)A special form of the time-domain optical theorem related to a general receiving antenna system is rigorously derived. It is shown that the total energies dissipated in the antenna load and in the antenna system itself can be directly related to the electromagnetic energy of the scattered field and its time-domain far-field<br/>characteristics....journal article 2015
