Alhaddad, S.M.S. (author), Keetels, G.H. (author), Mastbergen, Dick (author), van Rhee, C. (author), Lee, Cheng-Hsien (author), Montellà, Eduard Puig (author), Chauchat, Julien (author)This article presents the current state-of-the-art understanding of underwater dilative slope failure (breaching). Experimental investigations are reviewed, providing critical insights into the underlying physics of breaching and pointing out knowledge gaps, which underscore the need for further research. Besides, field observations at several...review 2024

Wang, J. (author), Li, Runlong (author), Zhang, Xinqi (author), He, Yuan (author)As one of the crucial sensors for environment sensing, frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radars are widely used in modern vehicles for driving assistance/autonomous driving. However, the limited frequency bandwidth and the increasing number of equipped radar sensors would inevitably cause mutual interference, degrading target...journal article 2024

Montellà, E. P. (author), Chauchat, J. (author), Bonamy, C. (author), Weij, D. (author), Keetels, G.H. (author), Hsu, T. J. (author)In submerged sandy slopes, soil is frequently eroded as a combination of two main mechanisms: breaching, which refers to the retrogressive failure of a steep slope forming a turbidity current, and instantaneous sliding wedges, known as shear failure, that also contribute to shape the morphology of the soil deposit. Although there are several...journal article 2023

Shetty, Siddhy Ganesh (author)With the advancement in technology, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been able to safely maneuver in risky environments. During landing, the UAV should be able to slow down while not affecting its physical design. Currently, multiple sensors are being used to increase the accuracy while landing which might weigh down some of the smaller UAVs...master thesis 2022

Nipius, Teun (author)The goal of this Thesis is to reduce the patient's discomfort during hemodialysis by achieving improved vascular access using a novel insertion device with a dilating diameter. High measures of discomfort are associated during achieving vascular access during hemodialysis therapy. The vascular access devices require large gauge sizes (14/15G)...master thesis 2022

He, X. (author), Stapel, J.C.J. (author), Wang, M. (author), Happee, R. (author)Perceived risk and trust are crucial for user acceptance of driving automation. In this study, we identify important predictors of perceived risk and trust in a driving simulator experiment and develop models through stepwise regression to predict event-based changes in perceived risk and trust. 25 participants were tasked to monitor SAE...journal article 2022

St. Pierre, Sarah R. (author), Peirlinck, M. (author), Kuhl, Ellen (author)Cardiovascular disease in women remains under-diagnosed and under-treated. Recent studies suggest that this is caused, at least in part, by the lack of sex-specific diagnostic criteria. While it is widely recognized that the female heart is smaller than the male heart, it has long been ignored that it also has a different microstructural...review 2022

Yousefi, Sahar (author), Sokooti, Hessam (author), Elmahdy, Mohamed S. (author), Lips, Irene M. (author), Shalmani, Mohammad T.Manzuri (author), Zinkstok, Roel T. (author), Dankers, Frank J.W.M. (author), Staring, M. (author)Manual or automatic delineation of the esophageal tumor in CT images is known to be very challenging. This is due to the low contrast between the tumor and adjacent tissues, the anatomical variation of the esophagus, as well as the occasional presence of foreign bodies (e.g. feeding tubes). Physicians therefore usually exploit additional...journal article 2021

de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Petermeijer, S.M. (author), Kooijman, L. (author), Dodou, D. (author)Several papers by Eckhard Hess from the 1960s and 1970s report that the pupils dilate or constrict according to the interest value, arousing content, or mental demands of visual stimuli. However, Hess mostly used small sample sizes and undocumented luminance control. In a first experiment (N = 182) and a second preregistered experiment (N =...journal article 2021

(author), Neubert, D. S. (author), Vos, M. J.C. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Much psychological research uses pupil diameter measurements to investigate the cognitive and emotional effects of visual stimuli. A potential problem is that accommodating at a nearby point causes the pupil to constrict. This study examined to what extent accommodation is a confounder in pupillometry research. Participants solved...journal article 2021

Musso, Guido (author), Azizi, Arash (author), Jommi, C. (author)The paper focuses on the hydromechanical behaviour of an unsaturated compacted clayey silt, accounting for fabric changes induced by drying–wetting cycles occurring at low stress levels. The response along isotropic compression and triaxial compression (shear) at constant water content was investigated by laboratory tests on both as-compacted...journal article 2020

van Damme, M. (author)When soil surfaces are exposed to high shear stresses induced by high-velocity water flows, they erode. Erosion consists of the detachment, entrainment and transport of soil particles. When exposed to high shear stresses the process of soil detachment is no longer given by the pick-up of individual particles but by the continuous shear failure...journal article 2020

Schreurs, K. W.A. (author), Radaelli, G. (author), Alijani, F. (author)Compliant shape-preserving mechanisms fill a small niche within the established research field of compliant mechanisms. To date no report exists on a compliant shape-preserving ring, even though these mechanisms can give rise to a multitude of practical applications. They can essentially act as novel sealing mechanisms, compliant grippers or...journal article 2020

van Velzen, M.H.N. (author), Niehof, S.P. (author), Mik, E.G. (author), Loeve, A.J. (author)Objective: The speed of pressure pulses traveling through the blood, the pulse wave velocity (PWV), is a metric that provides substantial information about the passive and active elasticity of the blood vessels. Therefore, PWV is a valuable parameter in the diagnosis of cardiovascular and vessel-related neurological diseases. The purpose of...journal article 2019

Qin, Xiaoqiong (author), Zhang, Lu (author), Yang, M. (author), Luo, Heng (author), Liao, Mingsheng (author), Ding, Xiaoli (author)Arch bridges are important transportation infrastructures widely distributed in China, but they are prone to structural defects due to aging without routine inspection and maintenance. Therefore, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of these bridges is urgently needed by civil engineers to effectively reduce the risk of bridge damage or...journal article 2018

Liu, Jinyi (author)The prosthetic eye is created to help people who have lost an eye. The eye itself can only improve the appearance but without any optic function. In order to optimize the appearance, a prosthetic eye with a pupil that can dilate and contract according to the light level, just like the natural eye, is desired. The primary goal of this work is to...master thesis 2018

Qin, Xiaoqiong (author), Liao, Mingsheng (author), Zhang, L (author), Yang, M. (author)Thermal dilation is a vital component of deformation along the extensive railway network infrastructure. To monitor subtle deformation, the synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) technique has been adopted as a space-borne geodetic tool. However, InSAR applications in railway stability surveillance have been largely limited by the...journal article 2017
