Ye, M. (author), Lofi, C. (author), Tintarev, N. (author)This paper evaluates whether semantic grouping of reviews helps users make better decisions. Reviews rated as helpful were compared with semantically grouped reviews. While participants did not perceive a reduced effort (using NASA-TLX), they needed less time and performed better on answering questions about the strong,<br/>weak and...conference paper 2017

Vergu, V.A. (author), Haisma, M.A. (author), Visser, Eelco (author)Grace is a dynamic object oriented programming language<br/>designed to aid programming education. We present a formal<br/>model of and give an operational semantics for its object<br/>model and name resolution algorithm. Our main contributions <br/>are a systematic model of Grace’s name resolution using<br/>scope graphs, relating linguistic...conference paper 2017

(author)For a better understanding of how different diseases (e.g. neurovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and musculoskeletal pain conditions) affect human motor function, a uniform, standardized and objective evaluation is a desirable goal expressed within the clinical community. We explore the capabilities of an augmented reality (AR)...conference paper 2017

Mouri Sardarabadi, A. (author), Leshem, A. (author), Van der Veen, A.J. (author)Aims. Image formation for radio astronomy can be defined as estimating the spatial intensity distribution of celestial sources throughout the sky, given an array of antennas. One of the challenges with image formation is that the problem becomes ill-posed as the number of pixels becomes large. The introduction of constraints that incorporate a...journal article 2016

Petrocco, R.P. (author)Video Streaming is nowadays the Internet’s biggest source of consumer traffic. Traditional content providers rely on centralised client-server model for distributing their video streaming content. The current generation is moving from being passive viewers, or content consumers, to active content producers, and the traditional content...doctoral thesis 2016

(author), de Jong, M (author)We present a method for the formation of an epitaxial surface layer involving B, N, and Si atoms on a ZrB<sub>2</sub>(0001) thin film on Si(111). It has the potential to be an insulating growth template for 2D semiconductors. The chemical reaction of NH<sub>3</sub> molecules with the silicene-terminated ZrB<sub>2</sub> surface was...journal article 2016

Bookholt, F.D. (author), Monsuur, H.N. (author), Gibbs, S. (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author)In this work, we develop a mathematical formalism based on a 3D in vitro model that is used to simulate the early stages of angiogenesis. The model treats cells as individual entities that are migrating as a result of chemotaxis and durotaxis. The phenotypes used here are endothelial cells that can be distinguished into stalk and tip (leading)...journal article 2016

(author)Thermal material properties play a fundamental role in the thermal management of microelectronic systems. The porous nature of carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays results in a very high surface area to volume ratio, which makes the material attractive for surface driven heat transfer mechanisms. Here, we report on the heat transfer performance of...journal article 2016

Hermans, F. (author), Aivaloglou, E. (author)Recently, block-based programming languages like Alice, Scratch and Blockly have become popular tools for programming education. There is substantial research showing that block-based languages are suitable for early programming education. But can block-based programs be smelly too? And does that matter to learners? In this paper we explore the...report 2016

(author), Baselmans, J.J.A. (author)We show the first experimental results which prove that superconducting NbTiN coplanar–waveguide resonators can achieve a loaded Q factor in excess of 800 in the 350 GHz band. These resonators can be used as narrow band pass filters for on-chip filter bank spectrometers for astronomy. Moreover, the low-loss coplanar waveguide technology provides...journal article 2016

Katsimerou, C. (author)Affect-adaptive systems have the potential to assist users that experience systematically negative moods. This thesis aims at building a platform for predicting automatically a person’s mood from his/her visual expressions. The key word is mood, namely a relatively long-term, stable and diffused affective state, as opposed to the short-term,...doctoral thesis 2016

In this study, we have created an OpenDA-NEMO framework unlocking the data assimilation tools available in OpenDA for use with NEMO models. This includes data assimilation methods, automatic parallelization, and a recently...journal article 2016

Dintzner, N.J.R. (author), Van Deursen, A. (author), Pinzger, M. (author)The study of the evolution of highly configurable systems requires a thorough understanding of thee core ingredients of such systems: (1) the underlying variability model; (2) the assets that together implement the configurable features; and (3) the mapping from variable features to actual assets. Unfortunately, to date no systematic way to...conference paper 2016

Heck, P.M. (author)The goal of this thesis was to obtain a deeper understanding of the notion of quality for Just-in-Time (JIT) Requirements. JIT requirements are the opposite of up-front requirements. JIT requirements are not analyzed or defined until they are needed meaning that development is allowed to begin with incomplete requirements. We started our...doctoral thesis 2016
