Verkade, W.J. (author)In the Netherlands, the pension regulation consists of three pillars. The first pillar consists of the basic state pension called AOW (algemene ouderdomswet), which is meant to provide a financial foundation for every person. At the moment, the yearly AOW contribution for a retired person is somewhere between 10.000 and 15.000, depending on...bachelor thesis 2014

ter Hoeven, R.S. (author)The Kernel Polynomial Method (KPM) is a method to approximate any function as a polynomial of finite order. In this research the KPM will be used to approximate the density of states and expectation values of physical observables in a tight binding system. To be able to use the KPM a tight binding Hamiltonian is obtained by using the python...bachelor thesis 2016

den Hertog, Hanna (author)<i><b>Background </b></i>Dynamic SPECT scanning provides a non-invasive way to image the time-dependent distribution of radio-labelled tracers inside living tissue. Beside human medicine, dynamic SPECT also finds its applications in pre-clinical research on small animals. In pre-clinical research, multi-pinhole collimators are used to enable...bachelor thesis 2023

Liu, Anxian (author)Out-of-domain (OOD) generalization refers to learning a model from one or more different but related domain(s) that can be used in an unknown test domain. It is challenging for existing machine learning models. Several methods have been proposed to solve this problem, and multi-domain calibration is one of these methods. Model selection with the...bachelor thesis 2022

Kirana, M. (author)How disastrous would it be if a flood occurred in your country? Or a Tsunami, earthquake etc... The events above are considered to be 'extreme'. When such phenomena happen the results are usually very destructive, but the probability that such an extreme event occurs is of course very small and might not even occur in an entire lifetime. The...bachelor thesis 2016

Budde, B. (author), Weber, M. (author)Innovation at several levels is necessary in order to transform the current automotive based transportation system into a more sustainable one. Alternative propulsion systems, like fuelcell, battery-electric or hybrid vehicles were proposed, as green alternatives to the dominant fossil fuel based mobility system. In particular the technological...conference paper 2010

Van Rijnsoever, F.J. (author), Welle, L. (author), Bakker, S. (author)The aim of this paper is to empirically examine the influence of different types of credibility on the legitimacy to grant individual actors within consortia an innovation subsidy. Theorizing from the resource dependence view and the sociology of expectations, we hypothesize that four types of credibility are related to legitimacy: scientific...conference paper 2012

Basdogan, Serhat (author), Remøy, H.T. (author), Binnekamp, R. (author)With the rapid development of real estate markets under globalization and exponential competitive market conditions, risk evaluation has been one of the most important tasks in the process of real estate investment valuation. This paper describes the relationship between construction permit uncertainties and real estate development projects by...conference paper 2018

Ardies, Jan (author), de Vries, M.J. (author)In 2020 an article about USA experts’ opinions on the future of technology education was published. Several concerns were expressed by the experts in the Delphi study that had been conducted, such as a shortage of teachers and funding. From the start of the study in USA the idea was to conduct similar studies in other countries. In Finland such...conference paper 2022

Zhang, Feiran (author), Broz, F. (author), Ferrari, Oriana (author), Barakova, Emilia (author)There is a growing interest in implementing robotics applications for children in healthcare to provide companionship, comfort, education, and therapy. Parental expectations regarding robotics for young children play a critical role in influencing its development and acceptance. However, parental expectations are widely overlooked in HRI....conference paper 2023

Rodríguez Palmeiro, A. (author), van der Kint, Sander (author), Hagenzieker, Marjan (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)In the future, cyclists will be sharing the roads with automated and traditional vehicles [1]. Interactions between cyclists and automated vehicles (AVs) may differ from interactions with traditional vehicles, because cyclists may hold incorrect expectations about how AVs will react to their presence, leading to confusing and risky situations....conference paper 2018

Houtenbos, M. (author)Given the high number of encounters in traffic and the low number of accidents in which these result, it can be concluded that road users are quite good at interacting safely. To achieve a better understanding of this interactive behaviour, this thesis focused on road users' expectancies. In an explorative study, the aspects road users mention...doctoral thesis 2008

Chen, B. (author)One purpose of exotic derivative pricing models is to enable financial institutions to quantify and manage their financial risk, arising from large books of portfolios. These portfolios consist of many non-standard exotic financial products. Risk is managed by means of the evaluation of sensitivity parameters, i.e. the so-called Greeks, the...doctoral thesis 2012

Dong, C. (author)Uncertainty is an unavoidable part of decision making. Decisions always have to be made before perfect knowledge on their consequences is known. However, there is no ‘perfect knowledge’ in hindsight. To research uncertainty and take actions proactively becomes the challenge to scientists and decision makers. In water resources planning and...doctoral thesis 2014

van Erp, H.R.N. (author)We present here a Bayesian framework of risk perception. This framework encompasses plausibility judgments, decision making, and question asking. Plausibility judgments are modeled by way of Bayesian probability theory, decision making is modeled by way of a Bayesian decision theory, and relevancy judgments are modeled by way of a Bayesian...doctoral thesis 2017

ur Rehman, S. (author), Langelaar, M. (author)A novel technique for efficient global robust optimization of problems affected by parametric uncertainties is proposed. The method is especially relevant to problems that are based on expensive computer simulations. The globally robust optimal design is obtained by searching for the best worst-case cost, which involves a nested min-max...journal article 2015

Coulter, R. (author), Van Ham, M. (author), Feijten, P. (author)Residential mobility theory proposes that moves are often preceded by the expression of moving desires and expectations. Much research has investigated how individuals form these pre-move thoughts, with a largely separate literature examining actual mobility. Although a growing number of studies link premove thoughts to subsequent moving...journal article 2011
