Kimhur, Boram (author)An ongoing question in capability research is how to incorporate the value of freedom into the measurement of inequality. This article proposes an approach to answering this question in the housing domain and its operationalisation. The approach places an evaluation focus to the conditions constraining or expanding housing choices in the...journal article 2024

Rainey, S. (author)This paper argues that calls for neuro- rights propose an overcomplicated approach. It does this through analysis of ‘rights’ using the influential framework provided by Wesley Hohfeld, whose ana- lytic jurisprudence is still well regarded in its clar- ificatory approach to discussions of rights. Having disentangled some unclarities in talk...journal article 2023

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

Miller, S.R.M. (author)This article characterises the nature of cognitive warfare and its use of disinformation and computational propaganda and its political and military purposes in war and in conflict short of war. It discusses both defensive and offensive measures to counter cognitive warfare and, in particular, measures that comply with relevant moral principles.journal article 2023

LIU, RUOBING (author)In this thesis I investigate possibilities for expanding freedom of choice in the development and use of digital education technologies. This thesis may be of interest to university policy-makers, students, professors, software-developers, or anyone interested in expanding freedom of choice in the development and use of digital education...master thesis 2022

Martinez Dominguez, Oscar Mateo (author)<br/>The thesis proposes an education system that have the potential to safeguard freedom of education. Freedom of education is found to be essential for human flourishing after discussing Aristotle's Eudaimonia and different definitions of freedom. The thesis proposes that the social spheres (cultural, economic, and political) need to have an...master thesis 2022

(author), Wang, Xiu Jie (author)Despite the recent advances in artificial tissue and organ engineering, how to generate large size viable and functional complex organs still remains as a grand challenge for regenerative medicine. Three-dimensional bioprinting has demonstrated its advantages as one of the major methods in fabricating simple tissues, yet it still faces...journal article 2022

Zhang, Boyang (author), Sun, Xiuxia (author), Lv, Maolong (author), Liu, Shuguang (author), Li, Le (author)In contrast with most existing results concerning unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) wherein material points or only attitude/longitudinal dynamics are considered, this article proposes a distributed fixed-time fault-tolerant control methodology for networked fixed-wing UAVs whose dynamics are six-degree-of-freedom with twelf-state-variables...journal article 2022

Marino, Luca (author), Cicirello, A. (author)This paper aims at assessing the effect of dry friction on the dynamic behaviour of a damped mechanical system subject to harmonic forcing. Previous work on friction damped systems highlighted that not including other forms of damping in the dynamic analysis can lead to unrealistic results such as the presence of infinite resonances. In this...journal article 2022

Veluwenkamp, H.M. (author), Capasso, M. (author), Maas, J.J.C. (author), Marin, L. (author)New technologies are the source of uncertainties about the applicability of moral and morally connotated concepts. These uncertainties sometimes call for conceptual engineering, but it is not often recognized when this is the case. We take this to be a missed opportunity, as a recognition that different researchers are working on the same kind...journal article 2022

Marino, Luca (author), Cicirello, A. (author)This paper proposes an approach for the determination of the analytical boundaries of continuous, stick-slip and no motion regimes for the steady-state response of a multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) system with a single Coulomb contact to harmonic excitation. While these boundaries have been previously investigated for single-degree-of-freedom ...journal article 2021

Liu, J. (author), Möller, M. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author)In finite element methods, the accuracy of the solution cannot increase indefinitely since the round-off error related to limited computer precision increases when the number of degrees of freedom (DoFs) is large enough. Because a priori information of the highest attainable accuracy is of great interest, we construct an innovative method to...journal article 2021

Hwang, Han-Sol (author)The population of the Netherlands is aging. This well-known characteristic of the present-day’s society is caused by multiple factors like low birth rate and improvement of healthcare. Dementia is one of the most common diseases that occurs to aged people. Most people with severe dementia are usually situated in a nursing home where they are...master thesis 2020

Meisel, Leonie (author)The graduation project is a playground in and around the former Post Office of Skopje which is composed of three main elements. Firstly, the terrain of the complex is divided into four main fields, which vary from their immediate surroundings towards the city. Furthermore, the element of the bridge, which grows with its tentacles into these...master thesis 2020

Belet, Tom (author)Background: While new prosthetic hands are developed to increase functionality and allow more complex movements, prosthetic wrists are researched less. Although there are wrists available, primarily featuring 1 degree of freedom (DoF), only a few prototype 3 DoF wrists are currently known. These 3 DoF wrists usually have sufficient range of...master thesis 2020

de Zeeuw, Anne (author)The relations between us and food have become distorted, deviated from their origin and meaning in our daily lives. Where solutions are sought in consciousness, this research focuses on the subconscious level of our relation with food. By changing our perception of food, using architecture as a medium between us, the subject, and food, the...master thesis 2020

However, civil servants find it challenging to comply with open data policies. Gaming can help civil servants to practise opening data and can change their behaviour to support the opening of more data. In this article, the effect of playing a game is evaluated in an experiment...journal article 2020

Steinert, S. (author), Bublitz, Christoph (author), Jox, Ralf (author), Friedrich, Orsolya (author)Connecting human minds to various technological devices and applications through brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) affords intriguingly novel ways for humans to engage and interact with the world. Not only do BCIs play an important role in restorative medicine, they are also increasingly used outside of medical or therapeutic contexts (e.g.,...journal article 2019
