Koch, Joel (author)This thesis studies companies which developed open source software but adopted cloud protection licenses, a novel type of software licenses which protect their business from competitors but potentially affect their open source communities. It addresses the practical problem of executives of the companies who miss information about the effects of...master thesis 2023

Westfalewicz, Andrzej (author)Software security plays a crucial role in the modern world governed by software. And while closed source projects can enjoy a sense of confidentiality when addressing security issues, open source projects undertake them publicly even though just as many projects rely on them. In 50% of documented cases, the vulnerabilities could have been...master thesis 2023

Imhoff, Ruben O. (author), De Cruz, Lesley (author), Dewettinck, Wout (author), Brauer, Claudia C. (author), Uijlenhoet, R. (author), van Heeringen, Klaas Jan (author), Velasco-Forero, Carlos (author), Nerini, Daniele (author), Van Ginderachter, Michiel (author), Weerts, Albrecht H. (author)Flash flood early warning requires accurate rainfall forecasts with a high spatial and temporal resolution. As the first few hours ahead are already not sufficiently well captured by the rainfall forecasts of numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, radar rainfall nowcasting can provide an alternative. Because this observation-based method...journal article 2023

(author)Purpose: To describe the construction and testing of a portable point-of-care low-field MRI system on site in Africa. Methods: All of the components to assemble a 50 mT Halbach magnet-based system, together with the necessary tools, were air-freighted from the Netherlands to Uganda. The construction steps included individual magnet sorting,...journal article 2023

Dommisse, Joost (author)At this moment, the problem of plastic pollution does not need an introduction. Although recycling rates are slowly rising, plastic pollution remains one of the biggest threads to the global ecosystem. Especially in low-to-middle-income countries, industrial recycling systems are sparse due to their required investment.<br/><br/>Precious Plastic...master thesis 2022

Wilkens, Laurent (author)This work sets out the creation, verification and demonstration of an automated end-to-end tool for the multi-point fluid-dynamic optimization of turbomachinery. Taking into account multiple operating conditions during optimization aims to benefit the overall performance of turbomachines which are characterized by off-design operation and to...master thesis 2022

Matheus Hernandez, David (author)The transition towards greener mobility will play a significant role in decarbonizing the economy. Hence, policy makers need tools that allow them to test alternatives towards that goal. This drive has led to the development of increasingly accurate transport models, with the latest generation being activity-based transport demand models. These...master thesis 2022

Reukers, Matthijs (author)Tydi is an open specification for streaming dataflow designs in digital circuits, allowing designers to express how composite and variable-length data structures are transferred over streams using clear, data-centric types. This provides a higher-level method for defining interfaces between components as opposed to existing bit- and byte-based...master thesis 2022

(author), Habib, Ayman (author), Ong, Carmichael (author), Hicks, Jennifer (author), Uhlrich, Scott (author), Delp, Scott (author)Background: The ability to measure joint kinematics in natural environments over long durations using inertial measurement units (IMUs) could enable at-home monitoring and personalized treatment of neurological and musculoskeletal disorders. However, drift, or the accumulation of error over time, inhibits the accurate measurement of movement...journal article 2022

Hartel, P.H. (author), van Wegberg, R.S. (author), van Staalduinen, Mark (author)Open data promotes transparency and accountability as everyone can analyse it. Law enforcement and the judiciary are increasingly making data available, to increase trust and confidence in the criminal justice system. Due to privacy legislation, judicial open data — like court judgements — in Europe is usually anonymized. And even if the...journal article 2022

Süsser, Diana (author), Pickering, Bryn (author), Hülk, Ludwig (author), Pfenninger, Stefan (author)Energy models are used to explore decarbonisation pathways and potential future energy systems. In this editorial, we comment on the importance of energy system modelling and open tools to inform policymaking in the context of the European Green Deal. We also summarise the seven contributions to the special collection on Energy Systems...contribution to periodical 2022

van Buren, L. (author), Koenderink, G.H. (author), Martinez Torres, C.E. (author)Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are cell-sized aqueous compartments enclosed by a phospholipid bilayer. Due to their cell-mimicking properties, GUVs have become a widespread experimental tool in synthetic biology to study membrane properties and cellular processes. In stark contrast to the experimental progress, quantitative analysis of GUV...journal article 2022

However, their interactions can be disruptive and noisy and lead to information overload (“the bad”). To identify strategies to overcome such problems, we applied Design Fiction as a participatory method with 32...conference paper 2022

Nicoletti, L.A. (author), Sirenko, M. (author), Verma, T. (author)Disparity in spatial accessibility is strongly associated with growing inequalities among urban communities. Since improving levels of accessibility for certain communities can provide them with upward social mobility and address social exclusion and inequalities in cities, it is important to understand the nature and distribution of spatial...journal article 2022

Wessel, Mairieli (author), Gerosa, Marco Aurélio (author), Shihab, Emad (author)Software bots are becoming increasingly popular in software engineering (SE). In this tutorial, we define what a bot is and present several examples. We also discuss the many benefits bots provide to the SE community, including helping in development tasks (such as pull request review and integration) and onboarding newcomers to a project....conference paper 2022

Bosnić, I. (author), Čavrak, I. (author), van Loenen, B. (author)Various “open” concepts in Computing, such as open standards, open data, open licenses or system interoperability are becoming more important in the professional lives of software engineers. However, students usually do not receive a systematic education about these concepts; rather they sporadically learn about a subset of these topics. This...journal article 2022
