Dulin, D. (author), Berghuis, B.A. (author), Depken, S.M. (author), Dekker, N.H. (author)Single-molecule experiments provide a unique means for real-time observation of the activity of individual biomolecular machines. Through such techniques, insights into the mechanics of for example, polymerases, helicases, and packaging motors have been gleaned. Here we describe the recent advances in single-molecule force spectroscopy...journal article 2015

Petermeijer, SM (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Objective: The aim of this study was to compare continuous versus bandwidth haptic steering guidance in terms of lane-keeping behavior, aftereffects, and satisfaction. Background: An important human factors question is whether operators should be supported continuously or only when tolerance limits are exceeded. We aimed to clarify this issue...journal article 2015

Zuiderwijk-van Eijk, A.M.G. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)The disclosure of open government data is a complex activity that may create public value yet might also encounter risks, such as the misinterpretation and misuse of data. While politicians support data release and assume that the positive value of open data will dominate, many governmental organizations are reluctant to open their data, as they...journal article 2015

Alfano, M (author)According to Nietzsche, drives are the ultimate constituents of virtues and vices. I argue that Nietzsche identifies two blueprints for character construction: a slavish, interpersonal blueprint, and a masterly, reflexive blueprint. When the interpersonal blueprint is implemented, a person becomes what he is called: his drives are shaped by the...journal article 2015

Bakker, I.C. (author), van der Voordt, Theo (author), Vink, P. (author), de Boon, J (author), Bazley, C (author)Studies on color preferences are dependent on the topic and the relationships with personal characteristics, particularly personality, but these are seldom studied in one population. Therefore a questionnaire was collected from 1095 Dutch people asking for color preferences about different topics and relating them to personal characteristics.<br...journal article 2015

Broere, W. (author), Achterhuis, EJ (author)The position and alignment of existing cables and ducts, previously installed by trenchless technologies, has not always been recorded with sufficient accuracy for new works to be safely conducted close to existing installations. Inaccurate or missing registration in the past, manual data entry, previous activities in the same areas, can all...conference paper 2015

van der Zwart, J (author), van der Voordt, Theo (author)Only when a building has been built it becomes clear if the building works as expected and if the objectives of the clients, customers, end users and other stakeholders are attained. If not, it is difficult and costly to adapt a building-in-use to fit with the needs and interests of the stakeholders. This paper explores how some of the pre-set...journal article 2015

de Groot, T.H. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author), Woudenberg, E (author)This paper proposes feature extraction methods for object classification with passive acoustic sensor networks deployed in suburban environments. We analyzed the emitted acoustic signals of three object classes: 1) guns (muzzle blast); 2) vehicles (running piston engine); and 3) pedestrians (several footsteps). Based on the conducted analysis,...journal article 2015

Closed-form solutions for the analysis of artificial dielectric layers under generic field incidenceCavallo, D. (author), Syed, W.H. (author), Neto, A. (author)We present an analytical method to model artificial dielectric layers (ADLs) of finite height. Starting from the closed-form solution for the scattering from a single layer under plane wave illumination, the formulation is extended to the multi-layer case, by including the higher-order interaction between parallel layers in analytical form. The...conference paper 2015

(author), Smadja, C. (author)DeepWind has been presented as a novel floating offshore wind turbine concept with cost reduction potentials. Twelve international partners developed a Darrieus type floating turbine with new materials and technologies for deep-sea offshore environment. This paper summarizes results of the 5 MW DeepWind conceptual design. The concept was...journal article 2015

(author)We examined whether expertise effects are present in cutaneous wind perception. To this end, we presented wind stimuli consisting of different wind directions and speeds in a wind simulator. The wind simulator generated wind stimuli from 16 directions and with three speeds by means of eight automotive wind fans. Participants were asked to...journal article 2015

Based on the results of two workshops, we provide a list of 47 success factors for open data publication and 18 success factors for open data use. We further use three case studies (ENGAGE, Open NY, and Open Vienna) to examine how the...journal article 2015

Balkenende, R. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author)Sustainability of electronic products until recently mainly focused on improving the energy efficiency. Recently, resource efficiency has become of growing importance. Due to the use of relatively small amounts of many valuable and scarce materials, often intimately mixed, the design of electronic products deserves specific attention. From a...conference paper 2015

Hoogland, J. (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author), la Poutré, J.A. (author)Motivated by the energy domain, we examine a risk-averse buyer that has to purchase a fixed quantity of a continuous good. The buyer has two opportunities to buy: now or later. The buyer can spread the quantity over the two timeslots in any way, as long as the total quantity remains the same. The current price is known, but the future price...conference paper 2015
