Polder, R.B. (author), Boutz, M.M.R. (author), Ottelé, M. (author)Asset managers would benefit from knowing when to expect corrosion initiation in a particular reinforced concrete structure. However, accepted approaches to test existing structures for the remaining time to corrosion initiation are lacking. This paper proposes such an approach, based on experience in the field and additional considerations....conference paper 2017

van der Aa, P. (author), Manie, J. (author)Finite element analysis (FEA) can be used to design structures. Methods for linear and nonlinear FEA are applied to all kinds of geometries. A simplified geometry structure, or basic element type, sometimes does take into account all the necessary effects for the design purposes. In other analyses more advanced modelling is absolutely necessary....conference paper 2017

Veugen, T. (author), Doumen, J. (author), Erkin, Z. (author), Pellegrino, G. (author), Verwer, S. (author), Weber, J. (author)We consider dynamic group services, where outputs based on small samples of privacy-sensitive user inputs are repetitively computed. The leakage of user input data is analysed, caused by producing multiple outputs, resulting from inputs of frequently changing sets of users. A cryptographic technique, known as random user selection, is...article 2017

Holthuizen, P.E. (author), Çopuroglu, O. (author), Polder, R.B. (author)In the Netherlands civil engineering structures, such as overpasses, bridges and tunnels are generally built using blast furnace slag cement (BFSC, CEM III/B) concrete, because of its high resistance against chloride penetration. Although the Dutch experience regarding durability performance of BFSC concrete has been remarkably good, its...conference paper 2017

Setola, R. (author), Luiijf, H.A.M. (author), Theocharidou, M. (author)This chapter introduces the concept of Critical Infrastructure (CI). Although old civilisations had CI, the protection and resilience of CI has come to the fore again in the last two decades. The risk to society due to inadvertent and deliberate CI disruptions has largely increased due to interrelation, complexity, and dependencies of these...conference paper 2016

Meiland, F. (author), van der Leeuw, J. (author), Karkowski, I. (author), Dröes, R.M. (author)To support the growing number of community-dwelling persons with dementia, alternative solutions, such as assistive technologies, are needed. In the European Rosetta Project, three separate ICT systems were improved, integrated, and evaluated with the objective to create one modular system that helps community-dwelling people with mild cognitive...bookPart 2016

Meinen, N.E. (author), Steenbergen, R.D.J.M. (author), Geurts, C.P.W. (author), van Bentum, C.A. (author)Façade elements are themost vulnerable parts of buildings with respect to wind loading. In this paper it is assessed to what extent wind-loaded façade elements fulfill the minimum reliability requirements as set in the Eurocodes. The reliability analysis needed for this assessment should account for the uncertainties in each of the parameters...conference paper 2016

Willemen, P. (author), Laselva, D. (author), Wang, Y. (author), Kovács, I. (author), Djapic, R. (author), Moerman, I. (author)Mobile network operators (MNOs) are deploying carrier-grade Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) as an important complementary system to cellular networks. Access network selection (ANS) between cellular and WLAN is an essential component to improve network performance and user quality-of-service (QoS) via controlled loading of these systems. In...article 2016

Huiskamp, W. (author), van den Berg, T. (author)The integration of simulation components into a federated, interoperable simulation environment introduces a large number of engineering challenges. Many of these challenges are technical issues, but there are also several challenges from the project management perspective. For example, when simulation components are provided by different...bookPart 2016

Isufi, E. (author), Dol, H. (author), Leus, G. (author)Flooding-based protocols are a reliable solution to deliver packets in underwater sensor networks. However, these protocols potentially involve all the nodes in the forwarding process. Thus, the performance and energy efficiency are not optimal. In this work, we propose some advances of a flooding-based protocol with the goal to improve the...article 2016

Franck, E. (author), Nauta, J. (author), de Haan, R. (author)The application of home automation in “smart homes” has been successful from a technological point of view. In practice, however, few projects seem able to survive after the initial financing period has ended, failing to establish a positive business case. This chapter addresses why the positive business case for smart homes is hard to establish...bookPart 2016

Wiel, L. (author), Heskes, T. (author), Levin, E. (author)We propose a kernel-based online semi-supervised algorithm that is applicable for large scale learning tasks. In particular, we use a multi-view learning framework and a co-agreement strategy to take into account unlabelled data and to improve classification performance of the algorithm. Unlike the standard online methods our algorithm is...bookPart 2015

Van Den Berg, Freek (author), Hooman, Jozef (author), Hartmanns, Arnd (author), Haverkort, Boudewijn R. (author), Remke, Anne (author)System designers need to have insight in the response times of service systems to see if they meet performance requirements. We present a high-level evaluation technique to obtain the distribution of services completion times. It is based on a high-level domain-specific language that hides the underlying technicalities from the system designer....bookPart 2015

Ripken, D. (author), Hendriks, H.F.J. (author)This chapter describes the use of the porcine ex vivo intestinal segment model. This includes the advantages and disadvantages of the segment model and a detailed description of the isolation and culture as well as the applications of the porcine ex vivo intestinal segment model in practice. Compared to the Ussing chamber (Chap. 24) the porcine...bookPart 2015

Duijnhoven, H. (author), Neef, M. (author)This chapter discusses the complex challenge of dealing with diverging threats in our contemporary hyper-connected society. In recent decades, resilience has become a key notion that has been adopted by policy-makers and academia to embrace the changing risk our society faces. Yet the traditional, modernist rational logic that dominates...bookPart 2015

Lukovac, S. (author), Roeselers, G. (author)When it comes to studying the effect of food bioactives on gut health, one of the essential steps that needs to be assessed is characterizing specific effects of the bioactives on the physical barrier of the lumen, the gastrointestinal tissue. In addition to studying the effects on transport function (e.g. by using Ussing chambers or cell...bookPart 2015

Westerhout, J. (author), Wortelboer, H. (author), Verhoeckx, K. (author)The Ussing chamber system is named after the Danish zoologist Hans Ussing, who invented the device in the 1950s to measure the short-circuit current as an indicator of net ion transport taking place across frog skin (Ussing and Zerahn, Acta Physiol Scand 23:110-127, 1951). Ussing chambers are increasingly being used to measure ion transport in...bookPart 2015
