(author)With the emergence of remote education and work in universi- ties due to COVID-19, the ‘zoomification’ of higher education, i.e., the migration of universities to the clouds, reached the public dis- course. Ongoing discussions reason about how this shift will take control over students’ data away from universities, and may ulti- mately harm the...book chapter 2023

Gauthier, S.S. (author), Vardoyan, G.S. (author), Wehner, S.D.C. (author)Entanglement between quantum network nodes is often produced using intermediary devices - such as heralding stations - as a resource. When scaling quantum networks to many nodes, requiring a dedicated intermediary device for every pair of nodes introduces high costs. Here, we propose a cost-effective architecture to connect many quantum...journal article 2023

Liao, D.L. (author), Cheng, L. (author), Correia, J.H.G. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author), Zhu, Shun Peng (author), Winkes, Jasper (author), Creusen, Koen (author), Berto, Filippo (author)Hole patterns are common in engineering design for connections and/or assembly purposes. Geometrical discontinuities can cause stress concentration in localized areas, making them more prone to fatigue crack initiation and influencing the fatigue life of the overall unit. In the past, much effort has been exerted on fatigue modelling of holed...journal article 2023

Derumigny, Alexis (author), Girard, Lucas (author), Guyonvarch, Yannick (author)In this article, we study bounds on the uniform distance between the cumulative distribution function of a standardized sum of independent centered random variables with moments of order four and its first-order Edgeworth expansion. Existing bounds are sharpened in two frameworks: when the variables are independent but not identically...journal article 2023

Sitzenfrei, Robert (author), Qiu, Mengning (author), Ostfeld, Avi (author), Savic, Dragan (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)Water distribution networks (WDNs) are a vital component of urban water infrastructure. They transport water from production sites (sources) to spatially distributed consumers (sinks). Multiobjective optimization procedures are often used to minimize construction costs and at the same time maximize the resilience of such systems, which is...conference paper 2023

Keshani, M. (author), Vos, Simcha (author), Proksch, S. (author)Software reuse is a common practice in modern software engineering to save time and energy while accelerating software delivery. Dependency managers like MAVEN offer a large ecosystem of reusable libraries that build the backbone of software reuse. Breaking changes, i.e., when an update to a library introduces incompatible changes that break...journal article 2023

(author)Nanoparticles are ultrafine particulate matter having considerable potential for treatment of central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Despite their tiny size, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) restricts their access to the CNS. Their direct cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) administration bypasses the BBB endothelium, but still fails to give adequate...journal article 2023

De Vos, Els (author), Spoormans, L.G.K. (author)Collective housing (CH) is undergoing a revival in Belgium. Since 2009, the Flemish Government Architect and his team have been advocating CH, stressing its importance as a task for architects given the demand for affordable housing and the need to reduce the environmental impact of housing. This support for CH has converged with the work of the...journal article 2022

(author)Saccharomyces cerevisiae, whose evolutionary past includes a whole-genome duplication event, is characterized by a mosaic genome configuration with substantial apparent genetic redundancy. This apparent redundancy raises questions about the evolutionary driving force for genomic fixation of “minor” paralogs and complicates modular and...journal article 2022

Di Curzio, Diego (author), Di Giovanni, Alessia (author), Lidori, Raffaele (author), Montopoli, Mario (author), Rusi, Sergio (author)Accurate knowledge of the rain amount is a crucial driver in several hydrometeorological applications. This is especially true in complex orography territories, which are typically impervious, thus, leaving most mountain areas ungauged. Due to their spatial and temporal coverage, weather radars can potentially overcome such an issue. However,...journal article 2022
