Callejon Cantero, M. (author), Pastor-Rodriguez, A. (author), Siemes, C. (author)The uncertainty on Thermospheric Mass Density (TMD), as derived from atmospheric models, can reach extremely high values. This effect is noteworthy in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), where atmospheric drag is the main perturbing force, as well as the most uncertain. LEO harbours almost 18,000 space objects at the end of 2021, around 60% of the total...conference paper 2023

Langbroek, M. (author), Bassa, Cees (author), Molczan, Ted (author)Meaningful SSA work on earth-orbiting satellites can be done on a shoe-string budget, with modest, off the shelf equipment. This has been shown by an informal group of self-funded Independent Space Observers (“ISO’s”) organized around the Seesat-L mailing list. Literally from their backyards, they track some 200 “classified” objects – objects...conference paper 2023

Haleem Medattil Ibrahim, M.I. (author), Sharma, Madhu (author), Subramaniam Rajkumar, Vetrivel (author)Monitoring, protection, and control processes are becoming more complex as distributed energy resources (DERs) penetrate distribution networks (DNs). This is due to the inherent nature of power DNs and the bi-directional flow of current from various sources to the loads. To improve the system’s situational awareness, the grid dynamics of the...journal article 2023

Kola, I. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author), Riemsdijk, M. Birna van (author)Support agents that help users in their daily lives need to take into account not only the user’s characteristics, but also the social situation of the user. Existing work on including social context uses some type of situation cue as an input to information processing techniques in order to assess the expected behavior of the user. However,...journal article 2023

(author)Sharing breathing signals has the capacity to provide insights into hidden experiences and enhance interpersonal communication. However, it remains unclear how the modality of breath signals (visual, haptic) is socially interpreted during collaborative tasks. In this mixed-methods study, we design and evaluate BreatheWithMe, a prototype for...conference paper 2023
