van Opstal, Doris (author)Interest in driving simulators has risen due to new technologies that better resemble real-world driving and the cost reduction of driving simulator development. In recent years, safety researchers commonly use driving simulators to examine complex driving behaviors in a controlled and safe environment. However, the question remains whether or...master thesis 2023

Trotta, Luca (author)High-frequency combustion instabilities represent the main technical risk faced by design engineers when developing new chemical rocket propulsion systems. Such instabilities are driven by the coupling between the flames’ heat release rate and the combustion chamber’s acoustic field. As such, they can only be assessed during detailed design...master thesis 2023

Lovato, S. (author)The increasing size of today's ships is a major concern for navigation in confined waters. In order to ensure safe manoeuvres, port authorities prescribe, among others, a minimum under-keel clearance that must be maintained by the ships during navigation.<br/>However, the seabed of ports situated at the estuaries or along rivers is often covered...doctoral thesis 2023

Meijer, Iris (author)Abstract—Background: Vacuum extraction is a way to prevent unnecessary maternal deaths, by using a vacuum extractor to help deliver the baby in the second stage of labour. Vacuum extraction is still little-used in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) compared to high-income countries, due to the lack of sufficient devices on the market that...master thesis 2023

Talsma, Tessa M.W. (author), Hassanain, Omar (author), Happee, R. (author), de Winkel, K.N. (author)Increasing levels of vehicle automation are envisioned to allow drivers to engage in other activities but are also likely to increase the incidence of Carsickness or Motion Sickness (MS). Ideally, MS is studied in a safe and controlled environment, such as a driving simulator. However, only few studies address the suitability of driving...journal article 2023

(author), Le, Quang Bao (author), Lippe, Melvin (author), Niamir, Leila (author), Polhill, J. Gareth (author), Sun, Zhanli (author), Berger, Thomas (author)There has so far been no shared understanding of validity in agent-based simulation. We here conceptualise validation as systematically substantiating the premises on which conclusions from simulation analysis for a particular modelling context are built. Given such a systematic perspective, validity of agent-based models cannot be ensured if...journal article 2023

Mishra, V. (author), Babu, A. (author), Schreurs, R. (author), Wu, K. (author), Hermans, M.J.M. (author), Ayas, C. (author)Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) emerged as a manufacturing process for large scale structures with extensive form and design freedom. WAAM can be fully exploited once the relation between the transient thermal history and its relation to microstructure development and resultant mechanical properties is established. This relation...journal article 2023

Lu, Jing (author), Zhang, Min (author), Feng, Jianlin (author), Gao, Y. (author), Yang, Ye (author), Li, Yuanyuan (author), Li, Linglin (author)The special environment conditions in high altitude areas leads to serious cracking and peeling of road hot-melt marking coatings. In order to improve the durability of marking paint, a durable hot-melt marking paint was designed by modifying the paint with toughening-agent, rheological agent, and anti-aging agent. The modification mechanism...journal article 2023

Perin, G. (author), Wu, L. (author), Picek, S. (author)The adoption of deep neural networks for profiling side-channel attacks opened new perspectives for leakage detection. Recent publications showed that cryptographic implementations featuring different countermeasures could be broken without feature selection or trace preprocessing. This success comes with a high price: an extensive...journal article 2023

Fransen, M.P. (author), Langelaar, M. (author), Schott, D.L. (author)In design optimization of bulk handling equipment (BHE) we generally focus on the mean performance of the equipment. However, granular materials behave stochastic due to irregularities in particle shape and size which leads to stochastic performance of the equipment. To include the stochastic performance we propose robust metamodel-based...journal article 2023
