Valentine, David Callisto (author), Smit, I.R. (author), Kim, E.D.H. (author)Trust is an important factor in building acceptance of autonomous vehicles within our society, but the complex nature of trust makes it challenging to design for an appropriate level of trust. This can lead to instances of mistrust and/or distrust between users and AV’s. Designing for calibrated trust is a possible option to address this...journal article 2021

(author), Jones, Christopher K. (author), Vossepoel, F.C. (author)This work demonstrates the efficiency of using iterative ensemble smoothers to estimate the parameters of an SEIR model. We have extended a standard SEIR model with age-classes and compartments of sick, hospitalized, and dead. The data conditioned on are the daily numbers of accumulated deaths and the number of hospitalized. Also, it is possible...journal article 2021

Petrov, N. (author), Krasnov, O.A. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)This paper presents an analysis of a new method of automotive radar self-calibration which uses targets of opportunity. While conventional offline calibration of a phased array antenna requires accurate knowledge of the positions of calibration targets relative to the radar, such information is not available in a dynamic scenario. To...journal article 2021

Mey, A. (author), Loog, M. (author)We investigate to which extent one can recover class probabilities within the empirical risk minimization (ERM) paradigm. We extend existing results and emphasize the tight relations between empirical risk minimization and class probability estimation. Following previous literature on excess risk bounds and proper scoring rules, we derive a...conference paper 2021

Pan, S. (author), Angevare, J. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)This article describes a hybrid temperature sensor in which an accurate, but energy-inefficient, thermal diffusivity (TD) sensor is used to calibrate an inaccurate, but efficient, resistor-based sensor. The latter is based on silicided polysilicon resistors embedded in a Wien-bridge (WB) filter, while the former is based on an electrothermal...journal article 2021

(author)In this paper, a fully-synthesizable digital-to-time (DTC)-based fractional-N multiplying delay-locked loop,(MDLL) is presented. Noise and linearity of synthesizable DTCs are analyzed, and a two-stage synthesizable DTC is proposed in which a path-selection DTC is used as the coarse stage and a variable-slope DTC is used as the fine stage. To...journal article 2021

Gharari, Shervan (author), Gupta, Hoshin V. (author), Clark, Martyn P. (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author), Fenicia, Fabrizio (author), Matgen, Patrick (author), Savenije, Hubert (author)Process-based hydrological models seek to represent the dominant hydrological processes in a catchment. However, due to unavoidable incompleteness of knowledge, the construction of “fidelius” process-based models depends largely on expert judgment. We present a systematic approach that treats models as hierarchical assemblages of hypotheses ...journal article 2021

Maria, M. (author), d'Hont, Lieve (author), Anisimov, A. (author), Stols-Witlox, Maartje (author), Groves, R.M. (author)In this study, we describe a method for measuring the spectral reflectance of a paint layer at both the surface and in the volume of the paint layers. We first present a fringes model which illustrates the possibilities for spectral reconstruction using a Short-Time-Fourier-Transform algorithm. We investigate the remaing percentage errors and...conference paper 2021

Guo, Y. (author), Jia, W. (author), Markine, V.L. (author), Jing, Guoqing (author)Ballast rheology is a phenomenon that describes movements of ballast particles due to the discrete nature, which eventually leads to the ballast bed fluid deformation after a long-time service. In most cases, ballast rheology is the main reason of track irregularity that leads to some track defects, e.g., hanging sleeper and mud spots....journal article 2021

Wang, X. (author), Verlaan, M. (author), Apecechea, Maialen Irazoqui (author), Lin, H.X. (author)In this study, a computation-efficient parameter estimation scheme for high-resolution global tide models is developed. The method is applied to Global Tide and Surge Model with an unstructured grid with a resolution of about 2.5 km in the coastal area and about 4.9 million cells. The estimation algorithm uses an iterative least squares...journal article 2021

Mohajeri, M. (author), van Rhee, C. (author), Schott, D.L. (author)This paper presents a multi-step DEM calibration procedure for cohesive solid materials, incorporating feasibility in finding a non-empty solution space and definiteness in capturing bulk responses independently of calibration targets. Our procedure follows four steps: (I) feasibility; (II) screening of DEM variables; (III) surrogate modeling...journal article 2021

Mohammed, Safa A. (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author), Hamouda, Mohamed A. (author)Many calibrated hydrological models are inconsistent with the behavioral functions of catchments and do not fully represent the catchments’ underlying processes despite their seemingly adequate performance, if measured by traditional statistical error metrics. Using such metrics for calibration is hindered if only short-term data are...journal article 2021

(author)We are developing a kilo-pixels Ti/Au TES array as a backup option for Athena X-IFU. Here we report on single-pixel performance of a 32 × 32 array operated in a Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) readout system, with bias frequencies in the range 1-5 MHz. We have tested the pixels response at several photon energies, by means of a 55Fe...journal article 2021

Yan, Y. (author), Helmons, R.L.J. (author), Wheeler, Craig (author), Schott, D.L. (author)A previous study revealed that a convex pattern surface can reduce sliding wear of a transfer chute. A convex pattern surface is a flat surface outfitted with a pattern of convexes defined by five parameters. A three-level definitive screening design (DSD) method combined with discrete element method (DEM) is used to investigate the influence...journal article 2021

One such investigation is the blood flow or perfusion of the heart muscle, expressed as the (blood) flow rate normalized by the mass of the volume of interest. Currently there is no...journal article 2021

Xie, S. (author), Theuwissen, A.J.P.A.M. (author)This brief proposes a successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) whose readout speed is improved by 33%, through applying a digital error correction (DEC) method, compared to an alternative without using the DEC technique. The proposed addition-only DEC alleviates the ADC's incomplete settling errors, hence...journal article 2020
