Wassenaar, Arjen (author)The use of geometric anti-springs (GASs) in MEMS accelerometers can not only boost the sensitivity through the static balancing effect, it also introduces the capability to tune the stiffness post-manufacturing by adjusting the balancing force. This paper addresses the challenge of mechanically fine-tuning the stiffness to create the potential...master thesis 2024

Firdous, Sana (author)The Dutch construction industry mainly operates on a linear economy model. However, <br/>transitioning to a circular economy (CE) is seen as essential for meeting climate change <br/>objectives and adhering to the Paris Agreement. However, the industry has been slow to <br/>adopt CE principles, primarily due to its inherent aversion to risk and...master thesis 2024

Bekkers, Sam (author)The generation of a 3D map of an unseen environment, obtained through solving the SLAM problem, is a popular topic currently in the robotics domain. The Lunar Rover Mini (LRM) at the German Aerospace Center solves this problem using a RGB-D camera system, which is favourable in space applications due to its lightweight characteristics and energy...master thesis 2024

Yue, X. (author), Mo, J. (author), Chen, Zhiyuan (author), Vollebregt, S. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Du, S. (author)Synchronized rectifiers offer promising solutions for piezoelectric energy harvesting; however, achieving the promised energy extraction performance necessitates using either a bulky inductor or multiple large capacitors, which cannot be on-chip integrated and increase the system form factor. This article introduces a fully integrated...journal article 2024

Rieger, A. (author), Draws, T.A. (author), Theune, Mariët (author), Tintarev, N. (author)When people use web search engines to find information on debated topics, the search results they encounter can influence opinion formation and practical decision-making with potentially far-reaching consequences for the individual and society. However, current web search engines lack support for information-seeking strategies that enable...journal article 2024

Rieger, A. (author), Bredius, Frank (author), Theune, Mariët (author), Pera, M.S. (author)An essential characteristic for unbiased and diligent information-seeking that can enable informed opinion formation and decision-making is intellectual humility (IH), the awareness of the limitations of one's knowledge and opinions. While researchers have recognized the potential to boost IH in individuals, the effect of such interventions...conference paper 2024

Khodabandeh, A. (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author)To accommodate the presence of bounded biases in mixed-integer models, Khodabandeh (2022) extended integer estimation theory by introducing a new admissible integer estimator. The estimator follows the principle of integer least squares estimation and is computed via the integer search method of BEAT. In this contribution, we present the...journal article 2024

Teunissen, P.J.G. (author)In this contribution, we introduce, in analogy to penalized ambiguity resolution, the concept of penalized misclosure space partitioning, with the goal of directing the performance of the DIA-estimator towards its application-dependent tolerable risk objectives. We assign penalty functions to each of the decision regions in misclosure space...journal article 2024

Yue, X. (author), Javvaji, L.S. (author), Tang, Z. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author), Du, S. (author)Bias-flip rectifiers are commonly employed for piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH). This article proposes a synchronized switch harvesting on an inductor (SSHI) rectifier with a duty-cycle-based (DCB) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. The proposed DCB MPPT algorithm is based on the mathematically derived relation between the...journal article 2024

Zaminpardaz, S. (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author)Statistical testing procedures employed in geodetic quality control often consist of two steps: detection and identification. In the detection step, the null hypothesis (working model) ℋ<sub>0</sub> undergoes a validity check. If the outcome of the detection step is the rejection of ℋ<sub>0</sub>, identification of potential source of model...conference paper 2024

Putu Gandhi Padma, Padma (author)This thesis investigates the role of uniqueness bias in the acceptance of innovation based on standardization within construction programs, using the Programma Bruggen en Kademuren (PBK) as a case study. The research aims to bridge the gap in the literature regarding uniqueness bias and the acceptance of standardized innovation in the...master thesis 2023

Hutiri, Wiebke (author)From smart phones to speakers and watches, Edge Al is deployed on billions of devices to process large volumes of personal data efficiently, privately and in real-time. While Edge Al applications are promising, many recent incidents of bias in Al systems caution that Edge Al too, may systematically discriminate against groups of people based on...doctoral thesis 2023

Ayaydin, Suzan (author)Food safety inspections play an important role in the safety of consumers of food products. Even though food safety regulations have disciplinary power over food-related businesses, inspections are needed to ensure that regulations are followed for the well-being of consumers. Traditionally inspections did not have a goal of targeting higher...master thesis 2023

Li, Zirui (author)End-to-end Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems improved drastically in recent years and they work extremely well on many large datasets. However, research shows that these models failed to capture the variability in speech production and have biases against the variant caused by the regional accented speech. Moreover, ASR research on...master thesis 2023

Bredius, Frank (author)Searching the web on debated topics, which are issues under active discussion and where individual opinions diverge, can be highly challenging. It requires users to approach their queries objectively, browse many resources, and accept a certain level of uncertainty, even if it conflicts with personal values. In particular, confirmation bias, the...master thesis 2023

Timmerman, Kirsten (author)When making decisions, people are automatically guided by their moral compass. However, AI agents need to be conditioned in order to be steered towards moral behaviour. An environment that can be used to train and test agents is the Jiminy Cricket environment. The Jiminy Cricket environment consists of a set of text-based narrative games, where...bachelor thesis 2023

van Hoorn, Timo (author)Sample selection bias occurs when the selected samples in a subset of the original data set follow a different distribution than the samples from the original data set. This type of bias in the training set could result in a classifier being unable to predict samples from a testing data set optimally. Domain adaptation techniques try to adapt...bachelor thesis 2023

Witting, Emiel (author)Domain adaptation allows machine learning models to perform well in a domain that is different from the available train data. This non-trivial task is approached in many ways and often relies on assumptions about the source (train) and target (test) domains. Unsupervised domain adaptation uses unlabeled target data to mitigate a shift or bias...bachelor thesis 2023
