Bishnoi, A. (author), Boyadzhiyska, Simona (author), Clemens, Dennis (author), Gupta, Pranshu (author), Lesgourgues, Thomas (author), Liebenau, Anita (author)A graph G is said to be q-Ramsey for a q-tuple of graphs (H<sub>1</sub>,..., H<sub>q</sub>), denoted by G →q (H<sub>1</sub>,..., H<sub>q</sub>), if every q-edge-coloring of G contains a monochromatic copy of Hi in color i for some i ε [q]. Let sq(H1,..., Hq) denote the smallest minimum degree of G over all graphs G that are minimal q-Ramsey...journal article 2023

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

(author), Van Ham, J. (author)Metropolis II aims to provide insights in what is needed to enable high-density urban air operations. It does this by investigating the foundation for U-space U3/U4 services. The final goal is to provide a unified approach for strategic deconfliction, tactical deconfliction, and dynamic capacity management. Highly-dense operations in...conference paper 2022

Marynets, K. (author), Pantova, D.H. (author)We use a numerical-analytic technique to construct a sequence of successive approximations to the solution of a system of fractional differential equations, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove the uniform convergence of the sequence of approximations to a limit function, which is the unique solution to the boundary value...journal article 2022

Kim, Munyung (author), Borst, C. (author), Mulder, Max (author)To meet increasing safety and performance demands in air traffic control (ATC), more advanced automated systems will be introduced to assist human air traffic controllers. Some even foresee complete automation, with the human as a supervisor only to step-in when automation fails. Literature and empirical evidence suggest that supervising...journal article 2022

de Jong, T. P. (author), Borst, C. (author)Air traffic control (ATC) is a complex and demanding job reserved for highly-trained professionals. Training ATC candidates is challenging as trainees are subjectively assessed by instructors who are biased by their own ways of working. As an effort to determine control expertise objectively, this study employed clustering techniques on an...journal article 2022

Marino, Luca (author), Cicirello, A. (author)This paper aims at assessing the effect of dry friction on the dynamic behaviour of a damped mechanical system subject to harmonic forcing. Previous work on friction damped systems highlighted that not including other forms of damping in the dynamic analysis can lead to unrealistic results such as the presence of infinite resonances. In this...journal article 2022

Liu, C. (author), Yang, Lu (author), Li, Z. (author), Nie, Shuai (author), Hu, Chuanlin (author), Wang, Fazhou (author)Due to the satisfactory property and high productivity, heat-cured concretes have been widely used in engineering practice. However, heat curing process also brings some drawbacks that are detrimental to the long-term property of this material. To address this issue, lightweight fine aggregate (LWFA) was employed to provide internal curing ...journal article 2022

van der Linde, Stan (author)Recent developments in quantum annealing have shown promising results in logistics, life sciences, machine learning and more. However, in the field of geophysical sciences the applications have been limited. A quantum annealing application was developed for residual statics estimation. Residual statics estimation is a highly non-linear problem...master thesis 2021

Jiang, Peiyue (author)The environmental impact of our current consumption pattern on the earth is growing. The linear economy is accelerating the environment pollution and increasing the use of resources. If we want to be able to gradually move towards a circular system it is vital to include in this strategy the way products are being cared for, which is Product...master thesis 2021

Bussink, Tom (author)L-AFP is able to place composite tapes in very precise directions, thereby allowing tailored stiffness designs. The laser is used to heat the thermoplastic matrix material to temperatures above its melting point. CF/PEEK is a popular choice for aerospace grade structures due to the high structural performance and high glass transition and...master thesis 2021

Buijtenweg, Abel (author), Verma, T. (author), Cats, O. (author), Donners, Barth (author), Wang, H. (author)Public transport networks constitute critical infrastructure in urban systems. Public transport networks are characterised by their hierarchical structure, yet methods to quantify their underlying hierarchy are lacking. We propose a metric for quantifying the hierarchy in public transport networks which incorporates topological as well as...conference paper 2021

Liu, J. (author), Möller, M. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author)In finite element methods, the accuracy of the solution cannot increase indefinitely since the round-off error related to limited computer precision increases when the number of degrees of freedom (DoFs) is large enough. Because a priori information of the highest attainable accuracy is of great interest, we construct an innovative method to...journal article 2021

Polynomial spline spaces of non-uniform bi-degree on T-meshes: combinatorial bounds on the dimensionToshniwal, D. (author), Mourrain, Bernard (author), Hughes, Thomas J. R. (author)Polynomial splines are ubiquitous in the fields of computer-aided geometric design and computational analysis. Splines on T-meshes, especially, have the potential to be incredibly versatile since local mesh adaptivity enables efficient modeling and approximation of local features. Meaningful use of such splines for modeling and approximation...journal article 2021
