van Nistelrooij, Maarten (author)Small solar system bodies have received increasing scientific attention over the past decades. Studying their primitive origins can reveal important insights on the formation of planets, as well as the general evolution of the Solar System. Also their potential threat to life on Earth upon collision and their potential to act as stepping stones...master thesis 2023

Kramer, Melissa (author)We live in an increasingly complex world in which policy regulations and system development must balance technology, existing regulations and all the people participating in the system. Currently, digital identities facilitate multiple verification processes in multiple contexts. For example, to give the ability to prove their own identity to...master thesis 2023

van Suijlen, Quint (author)The increased consciousness of the negative impact of human-induced climate change has resulted in rapid developments within the offshore wind industry. With Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) becoming increasingly larger and available shallow water sites becoming scarcer, new offshore wind solutions must be developed to accomplish the goals set by...master thesis 2023

Kisoensingh, Arvind (author)Flexural shear failure is a brittle failure mode that can occur in reinforced concrete (RC) beams without stirrups due to the combination of flexural and shear stresses. The failure mode begins with vertical flexural cracks at the bottom of the RC beam central span area due to flexural tensile stresses, followed by diagonal cracks. During...master thesis 2023

Rensman, Cynthia (author)Although not widely known, The Hague emerged as one of the most impaired cities in the Netherlands after World War II (Mellink, Saal & Van Schuppen, 2017). Bombings on Statenkwartier and Bezuidenhout left part of the city in ashes (Van Der Boom, 1995; Verbaan, 2011), but also the construction of the Atlantikwall left its marks on the urban...master thesis 2023

Lieftinck, Joris (author)The inner-city of Amsterdam contains a large network of vulnerable, historic quay walls. Most of these quay walls consist out of masonry gravity walls placed on wooden relieving floors and wooden foundation piles. Due to the changing surface loading conditions behind the wall and the degradation of the masonry and wooden structures over the last...master thesis 2023

Huang, Man (author), Su, Dongchao (author), Zhao, Zhirui (author), Wu, Lianghong (author), Fang, B. (author), Ning, Fulong (author)The trial production of natural gas hydrate reservoirs remains poor. Reasonable reservoir reconstruction, which can improve formation permeability, is an important approach to increasing the efficiency and enhancing production. In this work, water jet slotting is proposed to reconstruct an natural gas hydrate reservoir near a wellbore. The...journal article 2023

Saccher, M. (author), Kawasaki, S. (author), Klootwijk, Johan (author), van Schaijk, Rob (author), Dekker, R. (author)Recently, the applications of ultrasound transducers expanded from high-end diagnostic tools to point of care diagnostic devices and wireless power receivers for implantable devices. These new applications additionally require that the transducer technology must comply to biocompatibility and manufacturing scalability. In this respect,...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

Fernandes, Maria (author), Decouchant, J.E.A.P. (author), Couto, Francisco M. (author)DNA computing is an emerging field that aims at enabling more efficient data storage and processing. One principle of DNA computing is to encode some information (e.g., image, video, programming scripts) into a digital DNA-like sequence and then synthesize the corresponding DNA molecule. Synthesizing this molecule using digital or real human...book chapter 2023

Peters, Luka (author), Serhat, Gokhan (author), Vardar, Y. (author)Thermal feedback has been proven to enhance user experience in human-machine interactions. Yet state-of-the-art thermal technology has focused on the single finger or palm in static contact, overlooking dynamic and multi-finger interactions. The underlying challenges include incompatible designs of conventional interfaces for providing...journal article 2023

To begin with sufficient conditions for the existence of the steady-state response for a closed-loop system with a reset element and driven by periodic references are provided. It is then shown that, under specific conditions, such a steady-state response...journal article 2023

Gomez Ortega, A. (author), Bourgeois, J. (author), Kortuem, G.W. (author)Digital technologies have increasingly integrated into people's lives, continuously capturing their behavior through potentially sensitive data. In the context of voice assistants, there is a misalignment between experts, regulators, and users on whether and what data is `sensitive', partly due to how data is presented to users; as single...conference paper 2023
