Bekius, Annike (author), Bach, Margit M. (author), van de Pol, Laura A. (author), Harlaar, J. (author), Daffertshofer, Andreas (author), Dominici, Nadia (author), Buizer, Annemieke I. (author)The first years of life might be critical for encouraging independent walking in children with cerebral palsy (CP). We sought to identify mechanisms that may underlie the impaired development of walking in three young children with early brain lesions, at high risk of CP, via comprehensive instrumented longitudinal assessments of locomotor...journal article 2021

Li, Yuanli (author), Xiang, Pengcheng (author), You, Kairui (author), Guo, Jin (author), Liu, Z. (author), Ren, Hong (author)Mega infrastructure projects (MIPs) have become increasingly important to the realization of sustainable development in China. Sustainable development is a process of dynamic balance, and coordinating the triple bottom line (the environmental, social, and economic dimensions) will enable more sustainable development of MIPs. However, previous...journal article 2021

Pourmohammad-Zia, Nadia (author), Karimi, Behrooz (author), Rezaei, J. (author)The accurate operation of a Food Supply Chain (FSC) is a critical issue as it directly interfaces with health and safety matters. This study addresses coordination and conflict management in a three-level FSC that embraces a new inventory type known as growing items like poultry and livestock. The chain involves a rearing farm as the supplier...journal article 2021

Laskaris, G. (author), Cats, O. (author), Jenelius, Erik (author), Rinaldi, M. (author), Viti, Francesco (author)Holding has been extensively used as control strategy to regulate public transport operations, especially to maintain even headways and prevent buses of the same line to bunch up. Applying holding to multiple lines requires however to deal with the transition between corridor and branching segments. In this study, we introduce a holding...journal article 2021

Gkiotsalitis, Konstantinos (author), Eikenbroek, Oskar A.L. (author), Cats, O. (author)Travel time and demand disturbances lead to unreliable bus operations and missed passenger transfers. This study formulates the multi-line synchronization problem as a robust min(i)max problem that considers the fluctuations of the travel and dwell times of bus trips. Given the infeasibility of the multi-line synchronization problem in...journal article 2020

Souravlias, D. (author), Dafnomilis, I. (author), Ley, Jens (author), Assbrock, Gerrit (author), Duinkerken, M.B. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Schott, D.L. (author)The design and development of an offshore port terminal is a complex task that involves distinctive design and decision challenges. In this paper, we propose the implementation of a floating, modular, platform that can act as an additional terminal of a port, with the aim of expanding its current container handling capacity. To this end, we...journal article 2020

Chen, Zhiyang (author), Dong, Xichao (author), Li, Y. (author), Hu, Cheng (author)The single-pass geosynchronous synthetic aperture radar interferometry (GEO InSAR) adopts the formation of a slave satellite accompanying the master satellite, which can reduce the temporal decorrelation caused by atmospheric disturbance and observation time gap between repeated tracks. Current formation design methods for spaceborne SAR are...journal article 2020

Comes, M. (author), van de Walle, B.A. (author), Van Wassenhove, Luk (author)Humanitarian disasters are highly dynamic and uncertain. The shifting situation, volatility of information, and the emergence of decision processes and coordination structures require humanitarian organizations to continuously adapt their operations. In this study, we aim to make headway in understanding adaptive decision-making in a dynamic...journal article 2020

Mäs, Michael (author), Helbing, D. (author)Many sociological theories make critically different macropredictions when their microassumptions are implemented stochastically rather than deterministically. Deviations from individuals’ behavioral patterns described by microtheories can spark cascades that change macrooutcomes, even when deviations are rare and random. With two experiments...journal article 2020

Nespeca, V. (author), Comes, M. (author), Meesters, Kenny (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)Traditionally, disaster management information systems have been designed to facilitate communication and coordination along stable hierarchical lines and roles. However, to support coordination in disaster response, disaster management information systems need to cater for the emerging roles, responsibilities and information needs of the...journal article 2020

Klingbeil, Knut (author), Becherer, Johannes (author), Schulz, Elisabeth (author), de Swart, Huib E. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author), Valle-Levinson, Arnoldo (author), Burchard, Hans (author)This paper presents thickness-weighted averaging (TWA) in generalized vertical coordinates as a unified framework for a variety of existing tidal-averaging concepts in seas and estuaries. Vertical profiles of resulting residual quantities depend on the specific vertical coordinate, which is held fixed during the averaging process. This...journal article 2019

Meng, M. (author), Dabrowski, M.M. (author), Stead, D. (author)The paper examines the development of different spatial plans to address flood resilience in the Chinese city of Guangzhou, one of the most vulnerable cities to flooding and climate change. The analysis focuses on the differences in planning procedures and planning mandates (determined by different plans in authority) before and after the launch...journal article 2019

This enabled us to achieve a mean reduction of RTs for athletes eye-hand coordination of more than 10%, with high statistical significance. We explain how such an observed effect of Sensorimotor systems’ plasticity...journal article 2019

Li, S. (author), Liu, J. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Over the past two decades, a number of methods have been proposed for solving maritime collision avoidance problems. Most of these works take a single ship's perspective and focus on one-to-one or one-to-many situations. To more complicated many-to-many situations, less attention has been paid. To deal with the many-to-many collision...journal article 2019

Causevic, S. (author), Saxena, K. (author), Warnier, Martijn (author), Abhyankar, AR (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)Resilience of power systems is highly impacted by factors such as increasing severity and frequency of weather events, but also smart grid advances that introduce major operational changes in power systems. Rapidly adapting to these changing circumstances and harnessing the potential of technolo- gical advances is the key to ensuring that power...journal article 2019

Bouarfa, S. (author), Müller, Jasper (author), Blom, H.A.P. (author)Each day, airlines face disturbances that disrupt their carefully planned operations. Events like adverse weather conditions, sick crew members, or damaged aircraft often result in delays in the airline's schedule. An airline recovers from such disruptions through the role played by its Airline Operations Control (AOC). A Multi-Agent System ...journal article 2018

van de Weg, Goof Sterk (author), Vu, Hai L. (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)In this paper, we develop a hierarchical approach to optimize the signal timings in an urban traffic network taking into account the different dynamics in all traffic regimes. The proposed hierarchical control framework consists of two layers. The first layer--the network coordination layer--uses a model predictive control strategy based on a...journal article 2018

Vermolen, F.J. (author), Segal, A. (author)In finite-element computations, one often needs to calculate integrals of products of powers of monomials over simplexes. In this manuscript, we prove a generalisation of the exact integration formula that was reported and proved for two-dimensional simplexes by Holand & Bell in 1969. We extend the proof to n-dimensional simplexes and to...journal article 2018
