(author), El Ali, Abdallah (author), Lushnikova, Alina (author), Alavi, Hamed (author)The COVID-19 pandemic led to a sudden shift to virtual work and events, with the last two years enabling an appropriated and rather simulated togetherness - the hybrid mode. As we return to in-person events, it is important to reflect on not only what we learned about technologies and social justice, but about the types of events we desire,...conference paper 2023

Forouzandeh Shahraki, N. (author), Brembilla, E. (author), Jakubiec, John Alstan (author)A key aspect of daylight modeling is the definition of material optical properties. Characterization of such properties in existing indoor spaces with current methods is a labour-intensive and time-consuming task, especially in surfaces with considerable visual complexity. Faster and more accurate estimations of such properties will lead to more...conference paper 2022

des Tombe, B.F. (author)The pressure on groundwater systems, especially in coastal regions, increases as the population rapidly grows. In these regions, management of water tables and fluxes is important to minimize droughts, salt-water intrusion, and flooding. Proper management of such groundwater systems requires knowledge of how groundwater responds to water...doctoral thesis 2021

Pletinckx, S.R.G. (author), Borgolte, K. (author), Fiebig, T. (author)Security misconfigurations and neglected updates commonly lead to systems being vulnerable. Especially in the context of websites, we often find pages that were forgotten, that is, they were left online after they served their purpose and never updated thereafter. In this paper, we introduce new methodology to detect such forgotten or...conference paper 2021

(author), Grasso, Domenico (author)Nature-based solutions for water-resource challenges require advances in the science of ecohydrology. Current understanding is limited by a shortage of observations and theories that can further our capability to synthesize complex processes across scales ranging from submillimetres to tens of kilometres. Recent developments in environmental...review 2020

Jin, J. (author)Severe dust storms present great threats to the environment, property and human health over the areas in the downwind of arid regions. Several dynamical dust models have been developed to predict the dust concentrations in the atmosphere. Currently, the accuracy of these models is limited mainly due to the imperfect modeling of dust emissions....doctoral thesis 2019

Kramers, Katja (author)This thesis analyzes the occurence of the quantum Zeno effect in a qubit in different situations. A system with a particle with spin 1/2, which represents a qubit, and detector is considered. The detector is modeled by a coordinate q, which has a Gaussian distribution with dispersion σ. There is the free evolution of the qubit and the...bachelor thesis 2019

van der Kruk, E. (author), Reijne, M.M. (author)Objective: Sport research often requires human motion capture of an athlete. It can, however, be labour-intensive and difficult to select the right system, while manufacturers report on specifications which are determined in set-ups that largely differ from sport research in terms of volume, environment and motion. The aim of this review is...review 2018

Hauzer, Lili Maxime (author)Biomechanics of cells have been identified as an important factor relating to their functionalities. Consequently, the need for sensitive measurement methods for mechanical analysis on the nano- and microscale is high. Micro-cantilever resonators can have a large impact in material determination at the nanoscale. When adding a material, the...master thesis 2017

van der Enden, Kian (author)Majorana zero modes have been proposed as building blocks of intrinsically fault-tolerant quantum computers. Currently, externally applied magnetic fields are necessary to induce Majorana zero modes in carefully engineered systems. Topological qubit state readout is realized by parity sensing of Majorana islands. However, fast and high fidelity...master thesis 2017

Yang, L. (author), Li, Pengdeng (author), Yang, Xiaofan (author), Tang, Yuan Yan (author)Advanced persistent threats (APTs) pose a grave threat to cyberspace, because they deactivate all the conventional cyber defense mechanisms. This paper addresses the issue of evaluating the security of the cyber networks under APTs. For this purpose, a dynamic model capturing the APT-based cyber-attack-defense processes is proposed....journal article 2017

Wang, Haoyu (author), Markine, V.L. (author), Liu, X. (author)Transition zones in railway tracks are the locations with considerable changes in the vertical support structures. Due to the differential stiffness and settlement in the open track and the engineering structure resulting in the dynamic amplification of the wheel forces, track settlement is usually observed in the approaching zones. The...journal article 2017
