Zwartveld, Stef (author)Subjective tinnitus is a sensation of sound without an external source. There is no clear understanding of the cause and pathology of tinnitus.<br/><br/>Literature suggests a combination of deafferentation of the tonotopic map , the Bayesian brain model, and the triple mode network, creating one combined hypothesis for tinnitus pathology. Based...master thesis 2024

(author), Rogers, Colin (author), Harman, Stephen (author), Dale, Holly (author), Jahangir, Mohammed (author), Antoniou, Michael (author), Baker, Chris (author), Newman, Mike (author), Fioranelli, F. (author)Automatic target classification or recognition is a critical capability in noncooperative surveillance with radar in several defence and civilian applications. It is a well-established research field and numerous techniques exist for recognizing targets, including miniature unmanned air systems or drones (i.e., small, mini, micro, and nano...journal article 2024

(author), McNabola, Aonghus (author), Smith, William (author), Timoney, David (author), Ekhtiari, Ali (author), Fowler, Ben (author), Willis, Paul (author), Rose, Rebecca (author)Assessing real-world emissions from buses and taxis is vital to comprehend their impact on urban air quality. Such vehicles differ significantly from the majority of the fleet owing to their higher mileage rates. However, few studies have focused on specifically assessing the emissions from this segment of the vehicle fleet. In this context,...journal article 2024

SUN, Hanchu (author)Surveillance cameras have become increasingly prevalent in public areas worldwide, including in Amsterdam. In Amsterdam, the number and intensity of surveillance cameras in public spaces, such as streets, parks, and plazas, have reportedly increased, even in locations where they were already well-established. In addition to the growing number of...master thesis 2023

van Herpen, Maarten M.J.W. (author), Saadah, Nicholas H. (author), Otieno, Pieter (author), Kiara, Lemmy (author), Diehl, J.C. (author)Disease surveillance is essential to enable adequate detection and response to disease outbreaks. Syndromic surveillance is used to augment traditional approaches, especially in community-based surveillance. Here we demonstrate that Community Healthcare Workers (CHWs) supported by a mobile phone application can provide community-based syndromic...journal article 2023

Roosenbrand, E.J. (author), Sun, Junzi (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Contrails contribute to global warming by trapping outgoing terrestrial radiation, exerting an immediate warming influence on the climate. The climatic impact of contrails is potentially comparable to that of aviation’s carbon emissions. This underlines the importance of minimizing contrail formation to mitigate the climate effects of aviation,...conference paper 2023

(author)Over the course of the Corona Virus Disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020–2022, monitoring of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ribonucleic acid (SARS-CoV-2 RNA) in wastewater has rapidly evolved into a supplementary surveillance instrument for public health. Short term trends (2 weeks) are used as a basis for policy and...journal article 2023

(author)Despite high vaccination rates in the Netherlands, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to circulate. Longitudinal sewage surveillance was implemented along with the notification of cases as two parts of the surveillance pyramid to validate the use of sewage for surveillance, as an early warning tool, and to...journal article 2023

Roosenbrand, E.J. (author), Sun, Junzi (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)As global flight volume rises, the aviation industry is facing increasing climate challenges. One major factor is the impact of contrails, which trap outgoing terrestrial radiation and counteract emission reduction benefits from emission-optimized flight routes. Our study quantifies contrail-forming flights globally and assesses altitude...journal article 2023

Haifawi, Hani (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author), van der Meer, Rob (author)A new method to jointly detect and classify drones using a moving surveillance radar system (‘radar on-the-move’) and computer vision is presented. While most conventional counter-drone radar-based techniques focus on time-frequency distributions to obtain classification features, such approaches are limited in volumetric spatial coverage. To...conference paper 2023

Zheng, Feifei (author), Yin, Hang (author), Ma, Yiyi (author), Duan, Huan Feng (author), Gupta, Hoshin (author), Savic, Dragan (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)Under global climate change, urban flooding occurs frequently, leading to huge economic losses and human casualties. Extreme rainfall is one of the direct and key causes of urban flooding, and accurate rainfall estimates at high spatiotemporal resolution are of great significance for real-time urban flood forecasting. Using existing rainfall...journal article 2023

van Asten, T. (author), Milias, V. (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Psyllidis, A. (author)Neighborhood safety and its perception are important determinants of citizens’ health and well-being. Contemporary urban design guidelines often advocate urban forms that encourage natural surveillance or “eyes on the street” to promote community safety. However, assessing a neighborhood’s level of natural surveillance is challenging due to its...book chapter 2023

Sharma, Suryansh (author), Venkata T., Prabhakar (author), Singhal, Shalakha (author), Kuma, Gogineni Gopi Sunanth (author), Venkatesha Prasad, Ranga Rao (author)Surveillance and monitoring are highly critical in many application scenarios like wildlife conservation, restricted areas such as nuclear spillover, and border security. Moreover, in these scenarios, intrusions do not happen frequently thus, conventional surveillance is overkill and expensive that also requires extensive human involvement which...conference paper 2023

Engineers and ecologists are fascinated by this sheepdog herding because of the potential it provides for ‘bio-herding’: a biologically inspired herding of animal groups by robots. Although many herding algorithms have been proposed, most are...journal article 2023
