Daniel, A.M. (author), Mouter, N. (author), Chorus, C.G. (author)Objectives: Research efforts evaluating the role of altruistic motivations behind health policy support are usually based on direct preference elicitation procedures, which may be biased. We propose an indirect measurement approach to approximate self-protection–related and altruistic motivations underlying preferences for public health policies...journal article 2022

van Nispen, K. (author), Sekine, Kazuki (author), van der Meulen, Ineke (author), Preisig, Basil C. (author)Co-speech hand gestures are an ubiquitous form of nonverbal communication, which can express additional information that is not present in speech. Hand gestures may become more relevant when verbal production is impaired, as in speakers with post-stroke aphasia. In fact, speakers with aphasia produce more gestures than non-brain damaged speakers...journal article 2022

Schmidt, H.S. (author), de Vries, G. (author), Schmehl, R. (author), Renes, Reint Jan (author)Airborne wind energy (AWE) systems use tethered flying devices to harvest higher-altitude winds to produce electricity. For the success of the technology, it is crucial to understand how people perceive and respond to it. If concerns about the technology are not taken seriously, it could delay or prevent implementation, resulting in increased...journal article 2022

Brands, T. (author), Dixit, M. (author), Zúñiga, Edgard (author), van Oort, N. (author)Perceived travel times of travelers are usually longer than actually realized travel times, implying that passengers’ experience of travel time savings is different from objectively calculated savings. This study provides additional empirical evidence on this topic, by comparing the passengers’ perceived travel times reported in an (online)...journal article 2022

Cheng, Peiyao (author), Mugge, R. (author)Transparency is a design characteristic enabling consumers to see the technical details underneath the product cover to create a unique visual effect. However, involving transparency in product design increases costs; it is thus essential to investigate the effects of transparency to help designers and manufacturers to determine the cost...journal article 2022

Singh, Shirish (author), Ibrahim, Mohammed Ali (author), Pawar, Sumeet (author), Brdjanovic, Damir (author)Although faecal sludge (FS) co-compost contains vital nutrients, there are several barriers limiting adoption and reuse of FS co-compost in agriculture. This study in Bhubaneswar found that health risk and bad odour were the two topmost negative perceptions of FS co-compost reuse. The main factors influencing farmers’ negative perceptions of...journal article 2022

Maghsoudi Nia, E. (author), Qian, QK (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Buildings are the main sector in energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Retrofitting of existing building has been identified as one of the significant strategies for reducing the impacts of buildings on energy and environment. However, recent studies have shown that low energy buildings mostly do not perform as expected. These differences are...journal article 2022

Rijlaarsdam, D.D.W. (author), Zwick, Martin (author), Kuiper, J.M. (author)Pose estimation in robotics is often achieved using images from known and purposefully applied markers or fiducials taken by a monocular camera. This low-cost system architecture can provide accurate and precise pose estimation measurements. However, to prevent the restriction of robotic movement and occlusions of features, the fiducial markers...journal article 2022

Di Cicco, F. (author)Dutch Golden Age painters could convincingly depict all sorts of materials. How did they do it and how do we perceive them as such, are questions that only recently have started to be addressed by art historians and vision scientists, respectively. This paper aims to discuss how a booklet of pictorial recipes written by the Dutch painter...journal article 2022

Vardar, Y. (author), Kuchenbecker, Katherine J. (author)Electrovibration holds great potential for creating vivid and realistic haptic sensations on touchscreens. Ideally, a designer should be able to control what users feel independent of the number of fingers they use, the movements they make, and how hard they press. We sought to understand the perception and physics of such interactions by...journal article 2021
