van Vliet, Sjoerd (author)Different paradigms can be used to evoke brainwaves. These brainwaves can be interpreted as commands that can be used to control different applications. These frameworks that interpret the brainwaves are called brain-computer interfaces. Steady-state visually evoked potentials is one of these paradigms that uses external stimuli flickering at...master thesis 2023

Chemical fingerprinting of volatile organic compounds from asphalt binder for quantitative detectionChang, Xiwen (author), Long, Yongshuang (author), Wang, C. (author), Xiao, Yue (author)Asphalt material is an irreplaceable material in road construction. However, it releases VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), which do cause pollution to the surrounding environment, during its full life cycle, especially in high-temperature paving stage and summer service time. Asphalt VOCs release mechanism and effective emission reduction...journal article 2023

Verlinde, Lander (author)This thesis uses the method of interlacing polynomials to study the behaviour of eigenvalues of a matrix after a rank-one update. Specifically, interlacing polynomials, common interlacing and interlacing families are exhaustively studied. These are excellent tools to find bounds on the eigenvalues of updated matrices by keeping track of how they...bachelor thesis 2022

Jaring, Tom (author)It is well known that materials in architecture are essential for structural purposes. The use of materials is not only about meeting constructive criteria. It is also about creating a look and feel to a design or space. This article examines the relationship between the physical and spiritual realms in architecture. The results of interviews...master thesis 2022

Chen, Bei (author), Dong, Fuqiang (author), Yu, Xin (author), Ren, S. (author), Zheng, Changjiang (author)Today, high-viscosity modified asphalt (HVMA) is widely used in drainage asphalt pavements. However, due to its high construction temperature, HVMA is prone to thermal oxidative aging, which reduces its life cycle and increases the maintenance costs of asphalt pavements. In this study, the effects of warm-mix additives on the physical,...journal article 2022

Saeidtehrani, S. (author), Lavidas, G. (author)Generally, it is expected that the total power of N energy converters in an array will be less than N times the power of a single operative converter. The goal of this paper is to enhance the oscillation of the flap-type WEC and consequently the energy extraction of the whole array in front of a coastal structure. Flaps in an array show...conference paper 2022

Knoop, V.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Traffic jams are caused by a traffic demand that exceeds road capacity. Road capacity, therefore, is an important road feature. This capacity might change as function of time, even for the same road stretch, owing to changing driving behaviors or vehicle characteristics. In this study, we empirically analyzed the changes in road capacity over a...journal article 2022
