Kuipers, Derek A. (author), Terlouw, Gijs (author), Wartena, B.O. (author), Prins, Jelle T. (author), Pierie, Jean Pierrre E.N. (author)High fidelity is regarded as a hallmark of educational games and simulations for health education. Mainly physical and functional fidelity are associated with authenticity, resulting in the pursuit of a true-to-life simulation and suggesting the imposition of a generally accepted and often unintentional design rationale that assumes that the...journal article 2019

Urbano, Julián (author), De Lima, H.A. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author)Statistical significance testing is widely accepted as a means to assess how well a difference in effectiveness reflects an actual difference between systems, as opposed to random noise because of the selection of topics. According to recent surveys on SIGIR, CIKM, ECIR and TOIS papers, the t-test is the most popular choice among IR researchers....conference paper 2019

Urbano, Julián (author), De Lima, H.A. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author)In test collection based evaluation of IR systems, score standardization has been proposed to compare systems across collections and minimize the effect of outlier runs on specific topics. The underlying idea is to account for the difficulty of topics, so that systems are scored relative to it. Webber et al. first proposed standardization...conference paper 2019

Tang, J. (author), Vincent-Bonnieu, S.Y.F. (author), Rossen, W.R. (author)We present a CT coreflood study of foam, both pre-generated and generated in-situ, displacing oil, as a function of oil type and saturation. Foam generation and propagation are reflected through sectional pressure measurements. Dual-energy CT imaging monitors in-time phase saturations. With an oil less harmful to foam (hexadecane), injection...journal article 2019

(author)Background: Laparoscopic suturing can be technically challenging and requires extensive training to achieve competency. To date no specific and objective assessment method for laparoscopic suturing and knot tying is available that can guide training and monitor performance in these complex surgical skills. In this study we aimed to develop a...journal article 2019

Gao, P. (author), Ye, G. (author), Wei, J. (author), Yu, Q. (author)The HYMOSTRUC3D model has been used successfully to predict hydration and microstructure development of pure Portland cement paste. In recent years, a number of numerical models were proposed for optimizing the use of supplementary cementitious materials. Also HYMOSTRUC3D was extended for simulating the hydration and microstructure development...journal article 2019

Garcia-Nieto, Sergio (author), Velasco-Carrau, Jesus (author), Paredes-Vallés, Federico (author), Salcedo, Jose Vicente (author), Simarro, Raul (author)This paper gathers the design and implementation of the control system that allows an unmanned Flying-wing to perform a Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) maneuver using two tilting rotors (Bi-Rotor). Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) operating in this configuration are also categorized as Hybrid UAVs due to their ability of having a dual...journal article 2019

Landman, H.M. (author)After several recent flight safety events, such as the accident of Air France flight 447 in 2009, investigators determined that surprise and startle can severely disrupt pilot responses. They concluded that pilots need to be better prepared for unexpected and potentially startling situations. In response, aviation safety authorities have...doctoral thesis 2019

(author), de Lima Marcolin, Marcelo (author), Joshi, Darshan (author)Aircraft structural analysis is a process that involves several engineers working concurrently to analyze in detail all structural elements of an airframe, as well as the behavior of the aircraft structure as a whole. The airframe has to be decomposed in its major components such as fuselage sections, wings and control surfaces to allow the...journal article 2019

Papachristos, George (author), van de Kaa, G. (author)Standards competition is a complicated process influenced by a large number of factors and mechanisms. This article develops a simulation model that draws on current theory of standards competition dynamics and represents the interplay of strategic factors that firms can use to gain a competitive advantage. The model is used to reproduce four...review 2020

Zhang, Wenjuan (author), Diab, Waleeb (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author), Al Kobaisi, Mohammed (author)Modeling flow and transport in fractured porous media has been a topic of intensive research for a number of energy- and environment-related industries. The presence of multiscale fractures makes it an extremely challenging task to resolve accurately and efficiently the flow dynamics at both the local and global scales. To tackle this challenge,...journal article 2020

(author)Superconducting resonators and transmission lines are fundamental building blocks of integrated circuits for millimeter-submillimeter astronomy. Accurate simulation of radiation loss from the circuit is crucial for the design of these circuits because radiation loss increases with frequency, and can thereby deteriorate the system performance....conference paper 2020
