Della Corte, S. (author), Kraaij, R.C. (author)We consider the context of molecular motors modelled by a diffusion process driven by the gradient of a weakly periodic potential that depends on an internal degree of freedom. The switch of the internal state, that can freely be interpreted as a molecular switch, is modelled as a Markov jump process that depends on the location of the motor....journal article 2024

Song, Dongdong (author), Yang, Xiaobao (author), Ch. Anastasopoulos, Panagiotis (author), Zu, Xingshui (author), Yue, Xianfei (author), Yang, Y. (author)Traffic barrier crashes have been a major concern in many prior studies in traffic safety literature, especially in the crash-prone sections of mountainous regions. However, the effect of factors affecting the injury-severities resulting from crashes involving different types of traffic barriers may be different. This paper provides an...journal article 2023

Kremer, Lotte (author)In this thesis, we evaluate the statistical procedure based on the similarity index proposed by Ypma and Ross in 'Determing the similarity between expected and observed ageing behavior'. The function for the similarity index is defined based on the inner product of two probability density functions, assumed to be related to the Weibull...bachelor thesis 2023

Katz, Roy (author)Federated learning enables the construction of machine learning models, while adhering to privacy constraints and without sharing data between different devices. It is achieved by creating a machine learning model on each device that contains data, and then combining these models through an aggregation algorithm without sharing the data....bachelor thesis 2023

Hypothesis Testing in Contingency Tables: A Discussion, and Exact Unconditional Tests for r×c TablesKeer, Pim (author)Every time one counts the number of occurrences of a pair of values for two categorical variables, one obtains a contingency table. These tables are one of the simplest representations of data in order to statistically test for the presence of some association between the two variables under consideration. Although naturally occurring in so many...master thesis 2023

Huang, Ketong (author)Hierarchy is a network property that identifies the organisation and importance of network elements. Public transport systems consist of stops organised by connections, which can be regarded as networks. In a Public Transport Network (PTN) with a high hierarchy, the number of elements gradually decreases as their importance increases, where the...master thesis 2023

de Gruijter Eguiluz, Álvaro (author)The purpose of this thesis research was to perform a photovoltaic (PV) performance assessment and comparison between a small-scale land-based PV system and an off-shore off-grid floating PV system. Also from this research design guidelines for off-grid off-shore floating PV systems were developed. The research experiment was carried out in The...master thesis 2023

Arumugam, AMIRTHA VARSHINY (author)Input qubit control signals from an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) operating at room temperature undergo linear dynamical distortions as it traverses various electrical components on the control line connecting to the quantum device. <br/>If uncompensated for, such distortions can have detrimental effects on gate performance, affecting...master thesis 2023

Simons, Annabel (author)In today's society, claims are everywhere, in the online and offline world. Fact-checking models can check these claims and predict if a claim is true or false, but how can these models be checked? Post-hoc XAI feature attribution methods can be used for this. These methods give scores indicating the influence of the individual tokens on the...bachelor thesis 2023

On the use of common random numbers in activity-based travel demand modeling for scenario comparisonZhou, H. (author), Dorsman, J. L. (author), Mandjes, M. (author), Snelder, M. (author)Activity-based travel demand models provide a high level of detail when modeling complex travel behavior. Since stochastic simulation is used, however, this high level may induce large random fluctuations in the output, necessitating many model reruns to produce reliable output. This may become prohibitive in terms of computation time when...journal article 2023

Maruhashi, J. (author), Mertens, Mariano (author), Grewe, V. (author), Dedoussi, I.C. (author)Aviation’s contribution to anthropogenic global warming is estimated to be between 3 – 5% [1]. This assessment comprises two contributions: the well understood atmospheric impact of carbon dioxide (CO2) and the more uncertain non-CO2 effects. The latter pertain to persistent contrails and pollutants like nitrogen oxides (NOx), water vapor (H2O),...abstract 2023

Kolff, M.J.C. (author), Venrooij, Joost (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)In driving simulation, the choice of a simulator, motion cueing algorithm, and associated set of tuning parameters for an experiment is typically made with an exclusive focus on the quality of the motion. In practice, many other metrics could affect this choice as well, such as tuning complexity, algorithm stability, or the financial costs of...conference paper 2023

Jansen, B. (author), Duijghuisen, J.A.K. (author), van Bortel, G.A. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author)The built environment can become more sustainable by gradually replacing building components with circular ones. Kitchens are a logical component to be made circular, given their relatively short lifespan, product-based nature, and affordable prototypes. Since various designs for circular kitchens can be developed, understanding the feasibility...journal article 2023

Pryce, David (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Memon, Fayyaz A. (author)Limiting the introduction of excess nitrogen to natural water sources is a growing priority for water security and environmental health. This poses particular difficulties in urban environments where available land for potential solutions is limited. A promising option is the integrated fixed-film activated sludge (IFAS) process that requires...journal article 2023

Although global high-resolution LULC data sets are booming, their regional performances were still evaluated in limited regions. To demonstrate the local applicability of global LULC data products, six emerging LULC...journal article 2023

De Vries, Roelof A.J. (author), Lemke, M. (author), Ludden, Geke D.S. (author)To improve people's lives, human-computer interaction researchers are increasingly designing technological solutions based on behavior change theory, such as social comparison theory (SCT). However, how researchers operationalize such a theory as a design remains largely unclear. One way to clarify this methodological step is to clearly state...journal article 2023

Sun, Zhu (author), Fang, Hui (author), Yang, J. (author), Qu, Xinghua (author), Liu, Hongyang (author), Yu, Di (author), Ong, Yew Soon (author), Zhang, Jie (author)Recently, one critical issue looms large in the field of recommender systems - there are no effective benchmarks for rigorous evaluation - which consequently leads to unreproducible evaluation and unfair comparison. We, therefore, conduct studies from the perspectives of practical theory and experiments, aiming at benchmarking recommendation...journal article 2023

Sergeeva, Natalya (author), Ninan, Johan (author)The mobilization of narratives is essential in integrating people and constructing identities that help in navigating complexity, uncertainty, and conflictuality. This paper explores how comparisons are used as a discursive tool to shape narratives and bring about changes in policy and society, using the High Speed Two megaproject in the UK as a...journal article 2023
