Karaiskou, Antigoni (author), Turrin, M. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author)Speech intelligibility is crucial in many spaces, yet designers often fail to predict the acoustic shortcomings of certain design choices. This paper builds on the potential of hybrid surface treatments showcasing low-frequency absorption to control background noise levels and high-frequency diffusion to improve speech-in-noise perception to...conference paper 2020

Zaccà, V.G. (author), Martínez-Nuevo, Pablo (author), Møller, Martin Bo (author), Martinez, Jorge (author), Heusdens, R. (author)Accurate sound field reproduction in rooms is often limited by the lack of knowledge of the room characteristics. Information about the room shape or nearby reflecting boundaries can, in principle, be used to improve the accuracy of the reproduction. In this paper, we propose a method to infer the location of nearby reflecting boundaries from...conference paper 2020

Gijswijt, Dion (author), Smit, Harry J. (author), van der Wegen, Marieke (author)There are several notions of gonality for graphs. The divisorial gonality dgon(G) of a graph G is the smallest degree of a divisor of positive rank in the sense of Baker-Norine. The stable gonality sgon(G) of a graph G is the minimum degree of a finite harmonic morphism from a refinement of G to a tree, as defined by Cornelissen, Kato and Kool....journal article 2020

Fokkema, J.T. (author), van den Berg, Peter M. (author)Maxwell's equations are transformed from a Cartesian geometry to a Riemannian geometry. A geodetic path in the Riemannian geometry is defined as the raypath on which the electromagnetic energy efficiently travels through the medium. Consistent with the spatial behavior of the Poynting vector, the metric tensor is required to be functionally...journal article 2020

Zhang, Qian (author), Su, Min (author), Yao, Peng (author), Chen, Yongping (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Tidal currents belong to the main driving forces shaping the bathymetry of marginal seas. A globally unique radial sand ridge field exists in the South Yellow Sea off the central Jiangsu coast, China. Its formation is related to the distinctive “radial tidal current” pattern at that location. A generally accepted hypothesis is that the ...journal article 2020

Zhu, Z. (author), la Rocca, G. (author), Zheng, Yao (author), Chen, Jianjun (author)Routing design of aircraft Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS) is time-consuming and error-prone. A solution, which automatically routes the EWIS inside the aircraft Digital MockUp (DMU), has been proposed and presented in the previous publications. The DMU, however, includes over-detailed features, which hardly influence the...journal article 2020

(author)The complete surface temperature (T<sub>c</sub>) in urban areas, defined as the mean temperature of the total active surface area, is an important variable in urban micro-climate research, specifically for assessment of the urban surface energy balance. Since most vertically-oriented building facets are not observed by a nadir-viewing remote...journal article 2020

Echaroj, Snunkhaem (author), Ong, Hwai Chyuan (author), Chen, X. (author)Bioethanol synthesis techniques have been studied intensively due to the energy crisis and various environmental concerns. A two-step bioethanol production process was carried out multiple times in an unbaffled agitator tank. The parameters varied, including the fermentation temperature, the pH level, the amount of yeast, and the impeller type....journal article 2020

Luttun, Johan (author), Krijnen, T.F. (author)The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) cover a wide variety of subdomains in the construction industry. Model View Definitions (MVD) enable to specify a subset of the IFC schema to assess the content of a model for specific use cases and information exchanges. However, IFC and MVD paradoxically complexify the workflow since it requires a deep...conference paper 2020

Devriendt, Karel (author), Van Mieghem, P.F.A. (author)Graphs are a central object of study in various scientific fields, such as discrete mathematics, theoretical computer science and network science. These graphs are typically studied using combinatorial, algebraic or probabilistic methods, each of which highlights the properties of graphs in a uniqueway. Here, we discuss a novel approach to study...review 2019

(author)Purpose: In the last decades, the demand and use of renewable energies have been increasing. The increase in renewable energies, particularly wind energy, leads to the development and innovation of powerful wind energy converters as well as increased production requirements. Hence, a higher supporting structure is required to achieve higher wind...journal article 2019

(author)An engineered alluvial river (i.e., a fixed-width channel) has constrained planform but is free to adjust channel slope and bed surface texture. These features are subject to controls: the hydrograph, sediment flux, and downstream base level. If the controls are sustained (or change slowly relative to the timescale of channel response), the...journal article 2019
