Hopster, J. (author), Brey, P. (author), Klenk, M.B.O.T. (author), Löhr, G. (author), Marchiori, S. (author), Lundgren, B. (author), Scharp, K. (author)This chapter provides a theoretical lens on conceptual disruption. It offers a typology of conceptual disruption, discusses its relation to conceptual engineering, and sketches a programmatic view of the implications of conceptual disruption for the ethics of technology. We begin by distinguishing between three different kinds of conceptual...book chapter 2023

Eigbe, E. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Nasri, Mitra (author), Yorke-Smith, N. (author)Industrial and academic interest converge on scheduling flow shops with sequence- and time-dependent maintenance. We posit that anticipatory, integrated scheduling of operational and maintenance tasks leads to superior performance to purely 'wait-then-fix' handling of the maintenance tasks. Motivated by an industrial problem with (sequence...journal article 2023

Milton, Ashlee (author), Pera, M.S. (author)Researchers worldwide have explored the behavioral nuances that emerge from interactions of individuals afflicted by mental health disorders (MHD) with persuasive technologies, mainly social media. Yet, there is a gap in the analysis pertaining to a persuasive technology that is part of their everyday lives: web search engines (SE). Each day,...journal article 2023

(author), Aubin-Tam, M.E. (author)Engineered living materials (ELMs) are a novel class of functional materials that typically feature spatial confinement of living components within an inert polymer matrix to recreate biological functions. Understanding the growth and spatial configuration of cellular populations within a matrix is crucial to predicting and improving their...journal article 2023

Portero, Vincent (author), Deng, Shanliang (author), Boink, Gerard J.J. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), de Vries, Antoine (author), Pijnappels, Daniël A. (author)Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia, progressive in nature, and known to have a negative impact on mortality, morbidity, and quality of life. Patients requiring acute termination of AF to restore sinus rhythm are subjected to electrical cardioversion, which requires sedation and therefore hospitalization due to...review 2023

(author), van der Meer, Marijn (author), Long, David (author), Wouters, B. (author)While the influence of surface melt on Antarctic ice shelf stability can be large, the duration and affected area of melt events are often small. Therefore, melt events are difficult to capture with remote sensing, as satellite sensors always face the trade-off between spatial and temporal resolution. To overcome this limitation, we developed...journal article 2023

(author)Technologies shape who we are, how we organize our societies and how we relate to nature. For example, social media challenges democracy; artificial intelligence raises the question of what is unique to humans; and the possibility to create artificial wombs may affect notions of motherhood and birth. Some have suggested that we address global...book 2023

Roldan Montero, I. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)A novel framework to enhance the angular resolution of automotive radars is proposed. An approach to enlarge the antenna aperture using artificial neural networks is developed using a self-supervised learning scheme. Data from a high angular resolution radar, i.e., a radar with a large antenna aperture, is used to train a deep neural network...journal article 2023

(author)This paper presents a research on the chloride penetration behavior of engineered cementitious composites (ECC) under sustained flexural loads. Three load levels, i.e. 30 %, 60 % and 75 % of the ultimate flexural load were used. Chloride diffusion depth and concentration profile were measured 30, 60 and 150 days after the specimen was exposed...journal article 2023

(author), Waajen, Guido (author), Lürling, Miquel (author)The eutrophic Bouvigne pond (Breda, The Netherlands) regularly suffers from cyanobacterial blooms. To improve the water quality, the external nutrient loading and the nutrient release from the pond sediment have to be reduced. An enclosure experiment was performed in the pond between March 9 and July 29, 2020 to compare the efficiency of...journal article 2023

Montagne, A.J.M. (author)Many people consider analog electronic circuit design complex. This is because designers can achieve the desired performance of a circuit in many ways. Together, theoretical concepts, circuit topologies, electronic devices, their operating conditions, and the system's physical construction constitute an enormous design space in which it is easy...book 2023

(author)The recent increase of interest in photocatalysis spread to biocatalysis and triggered a rush for the development of light-dependent enzyme-mediated or enzyme-coupled processes. After several years of intense research on photobiocatalysis, it is time to evaluate the state of the field in a structured manner. In this Perspective, we suggest to...journal article 2023

van der Heijden, M. (author)In the next decades, Rijkswaterstaat will renovate many existing immersed tunnels so they can meet their intended lifespan in a good condition. Ongoing settlements could be a threat to the tunnel structural performance, as deformation may cause structural damage. Currently, immersed tunnels are subjected to greater and more uneven settlements...report 2023

(author)Living organisms use functional gradients (FGs) to interface hard and soft materials (e.g., bone and tendon), a strategy with engineering potential. Past attempts involving hard (or soft) phase ratio variation have led to mechanical property inaccuracies because of microscale-material macroscale-property nonlinearity.

Veluwenkamp, H.M. (author), van den Hoven, M.J. (author)Politicians and engineers are increasingly realizing that values are important in the development of technological artefacts. What is often overlooked is that different conceptualizations of these abstract values lead to different design-requirements. For example, designing social media platforms for deliberative democracy sets us up for...journal article 2023
