Casakin, Hernan (author), Badke-Schaub, P.G. (author)This study deals with the role of mental models in the coordination of team activities during design problem-solving. The work centers on the sharedness of mental models in a design team setting, mainly on the interaction between an architect and two clients. A major goal is to gain insight into how modifications in mental models affect...journal article 2017

Santbergen, R. (author), Meguro, Tomomi (author), Suezaki, Takashi (author), Koizumi, Gensuke (author), Yamamoto, Kenji (author), Zeman, M. (author)We present a new version of our optical model for solar cell simulation: GenPro4. Its working principles are briefly explained. The model is suitable for quickly and accurately simulating a wide range of wafer-based and thin-film solar cells. Especially adjusting layer thicknesses to match the currents in multijunction devices can be done...journal article 2017

Boeije, M.F.J. (author), Delczeg-Czirjak, E. K. (author), van Dijk, N.H. (author), Eriksson, O. (author), Brück, E.H. (author)We present a hybrid method to inspect the phase stability of compounds having a CaCu<sub>5</sub>-type crystal structure. This is done using 2D stability plots using the Miedema parameters that are based on the work function and electron density of the constituent elements. Stable compounds are separated from unstable binary compounds, with a...journal article 2017

Oosterholt, R.I. (author), Simonse, LWL (author), Boess, S.U. (author), Vehmeijer, S.B.W. (author)Introduction: Although the clinical attributes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) care pathways have been thoroughly researched, a detailed understanding of the equally important organisational attributes is still lacking. The aim of this article is to contribute with a model of the outpatient THA care pathway that depicts how the care team...journal article 2017

Guo, Xuqi (author), Pang, Y. (author), Yan, Gaowei (author), Qiao, Tiezhu (author)Multi-layer Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) has caught widespread attention as a new method for time series forecasting due to the ability of approximating any nonlinear function. In this paper, a new local time series prediction model is established with the nearest neighbor domain theory, in which the hybrid Euclidean distance is used as...conference paper 2017

Blom, H.A.P. (author), Bakker, GJ (author)Effective collaboration between planning controller, tactical controller and pilots in handling various uncertainties and hazards is the result of decades of evolutionary development. The forthcoming paradigm shift to Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) requires a similarly effective collaboration between the TBO layer and a tactical layer....conference paper 2017

Wambeke, T. (author), Benndorf, J. (author)One of the main challenges of the mining industry is to ensure that produced tonnages and grades are aligned with targets derived from model-based expectations. Unexpected deviations, resulting from large uncertainties in the grade control model, often occur and strongly impact resource recovery and process efficiency. During operation, local...journal article 2017

Santbergen, R. (author), Muthukumar, V.A. (author), Valckenborg, R.M.E. (author), van de Wall, W.J.A. (author), Smets, A.H.M. (author), Zeman, M. (author)Photovoltaic (PV) modules receive both direct light from the sun and scattered light from the sky, ground and nearby objects. The calculation of incident irradiance becomes complex when nearby objects cast shadows or reflect sunlight onto the PV modules. In this paper a flexible irradiance model is presented that takes all these effects into...journal article 2017

Voulis, N. (author), Warnier, Martijn (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)Urban areas consist of a mix of households and services, such as offices, shops and schools. Yet most urban energy models only consider household load profiles, omitting the service sector. Realistic assessment of the potential for renewable resource integration in cities requires models that include detailed demand and generation profiles....journal article 2017

Geertsma, R.D. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Visser, K. (author), Loonstijn, M.A. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author)Ships, in particular service vessels, need to reduce fuel consumption, emissions and cavitation noise while maintaining manoeuvrability and preventing engine overloading. Diesel mechanical propulsion with controllable pitch propellers can provide high fuel efficiency with good manoeuvrability. However, the conventional control strategy with...journal article 2017

Tra, M.A.P. (author), Sunil, E. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author), Maas, J.B. (author)Previous research relating airspace structure and ca-pacity has shown that a decentralized layered airspace concept, in which each altitude band limited horizontal travel to within a prede?ned heading range, improved safety when compared to unstructured airspace. However, the extent of the safety bene?ts of such layered airspace designs were not...conference paper 2017

Yang, L. (author), Padding, J.T. (author), Buist, K. A. (author), Kuipers, J.R. (author)Two fluid model simulations based on our recently introduced kinetic theory of granular flow (KTGF) for rough spheres and rough walls, are validated for the first time for full three-dimensional (3D) bubbling fluidized beds. The validation is performed by comparing with experimental data from Magnetic Particle Tracking and more detailed...journal article 2017

van der Meulen, F.H. (author), Schauer, M.R. (author)Estimation of parameters of a diffusion based on discrete time observations poses a difficult problem due to the lack of a closed form expression for the likelihood. From a Bayesian computational perspective it can be casted as a missing data problem where the diffusion bridges in between discrete-time observations are missing. The...journal article 2017

Labunets, K. (author), Massacci, Fabio (author), Tedeschi, Alessandra (author)Security risk assessment methods in industry mostly use a tabular notation to represent the assessment results whilst academic works advocate graphical methods. Experiments with MSc students showed that the tabular notation is better than an iconic graphical notation for the comprehension of security risks. [Aim] We investigate whether the...conference paper 2017

Urata, Junji (author), Pel, A.J. (author)Evacuation planning and management involves estimating the travel demand in the event that such action is required. This is usually done as a function of people's decision to evacuate, which we show is strongly linked to their risk awareness. We use an empirical data set, which shows tsunami evacuation behavior, to demonstrate that risk...journal article 2017

van Erp, H.R.N. (author), Linger, R.O. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)It is a relatively well-known fact that in problems of Bayesian model selection, improper priors should, in general, be avoided. In this paper we will derive and discuss a collection of four proper uniform priors which lie on an ascending scale of informativeness. It will turn out that these priors lead us to evidences that are closely...journal article 2017
