Meister, S. (author), Wermes, Mahdieu A.M. (author), Stüve, Jan (author), Groves, R.M. (author)The aerospace industry has established the Automated Fiber Placement process as a common technique for manufacturing fibre reinforced components. In this process multiple composite tows are placed simultaneously onto a tool. Currently in such processes manual testing requires often up to 50% of the manufacturing duration. Moreover, the...review 2021

Böke, J. (author), Knaack, U. (author), Hemmerling, Marco (author)The high and increasing requirements concerning energy consumption and the interior comfort of buildings result in a demand for more efficient façade constructions. In its role as a mediator between the exterior and interior of a building, the façade takes on a multitude of functions with effect on the building’s performance. Intelligent...review 2019

Horvath, I. (author), Tavčar, Jože (author)Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) represent practical examples of the integration of bits and atoms in human and social contexts and contribute to the integration of neurons and genes into system implementation. Many experts believe that a deeper theoretical understanding of system adaptation will lead to the development of autonomous systems and...review 2021

Kouba, V. (author), Bachmannová, Ch (author), Podzimek, T. (author), Lipovová, P. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author)The adaptation of bacteria involved in the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) to low temperatures in the mainstream of WWTP will unlock substantial treatment savings. However, their adaptation mechanisms have begun to be revealed only very recently. This study reviewed the state-of-the-art knowledge on these mechanisms from -omics studies...review 2022

Palin, Erika J. (author), Stipanovic Oslakovic, Irina (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Quinn, Andrew (author)Weather phenomena can result in severe impacts on railway infrastructure. In future, projected changes to the frequency and/or intensity of extreme weather events could change weather–infrastructure risk profiles. Infrastructure owners and operators need to manage current weather impacts and put in place adequate plans to anticipate and adapt...review 2021

Jafino, B.A. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Taebi, B. (author)Models for supporting climate adaptation and mitigation planning, mostly in the form of Integrated Assessment Models, are poorly equipped for aiding questions related to fairness of adaptation and mitigation strategies, because they often disregard distributional outcomes. When evaluating policies using such models, the costs and benefits are...review 2021

Koyaz, Mine (author), Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author), Ünlü, Aslıhan (author), Knaack, U. (author)Adaptive façades are multifunctional systems that are able to change their functions, features, or behaviour over time in response to changing boundary conditions or performance requirements. As one of the significant developments in the façade industry over the last decade, the adaptive façade offers an intelligent solution that can decrease...review 2022

Diepeveen, E.T. (author), Iñigo de la Cruz, L.M. (author), Laan, L. (author)Polarity establishment underlies proper cell cycle completion across virtually all organisms. Much progress has been made in generating an understanding of the structural and functional components of this process, especially in model species. Here we focus on the evolutionary dynamics of the fungal polarization protein network in order to...review 2017

Maat (student), B.B. (author), Smit, G. (author), Plettenburg, D.H. (author), Breedveld, P. (author)The group of passive prostheses consists of prosthetic hands and prosthetic tools. These can either be static or adjustable. Limited research and development on passive prostheses has been performed although many people use these prosthesis types. Although some publications describe passive prostheses, no recent review of the peer-reviewed...review 2017

Egido, Julia (author), Martins Costa, A.R. (author), Aparicio Maldonado, C. (author)We are in the midst of a golden age of uncovering defense systems against bacteriophages. Apart from the fundamentalinterest in these defense systems, and revolutionary applications that have been derived from them (e.g. CRISPR-Cas9 andrestriction endonucleases), it is unknown how defense systems contribute to resistance formation against...review 2022

Taebi, B. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Kermisch, C.F.N. (author)Governing risks is not only a technical matter, but also a matter of ethical and societal considerations. In this article, we argue that in addition to scientific and technical uncertainties, we need to also address normative uncertainties of risk decisions. We define normative uncertainties as situations where there are different partially...review 2020

Toimil, Alexandra (author), Losada, Iñigo J. (author), Nicholls, Robert J. (author), Dalrymple, Robert A. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)Climate change is and will continue altering the world's coasts, which are the most densely populated and economically active areas on earth and home for highly valuable ecosystems. While there is considerable relevant research, in the authors' experience this problem remains challenging for coastal engineering. This paper reviews important...review 2020

Buşoniu, Lucian (author), de Bruin, T.D. (author), Tolić, Domagoj (author), Kober, J. (author), Palunko, Ivana (author)Reinforcement learning (RL) offers powerful algorithms to search for optimal controllers of systems with nonlinear, possibly stochastic dynamics that are unknown or highly uncertain. This review mainly covers artificial-intelligence approaches to RL, from the viewpoint of the control engineer. We explain how approximate representations of the...review 2018

Reda, Abel Kebede (author), Gebresenbet, Girma (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Ljungberg, David (author)Urban logistics policies have become instrumental in achieving sustainable transport systems. Developing and emerging countries still lag far behind in the implementation of such policies when compared with developed countries. This exposure gap provides an opportunity for policy transfer, but this is a complex process requiring knowledge of...review 2020
