Long-term memory-induced synchronisation can impair collective performance in congested systems

Saffre, F. (author), Gianini, G. (author), Hildmann, H. (author), Davies, J. (author), Bullock, S. (author), Damiani, E. (author), Deneubourg, J.L. (author)

We investigate the hypothesis that long-term memory in populations of agents can lead to counterproductive emergent properties at the system level. Our investigation is framed in the context of a discrete, one-dimensional road-traffic congestion model: we investigate the influence of simple cognition in a population of rational commuter agents...

Informed production optimization in hydrocarbon reservoirs

Barros, E.G.D. (author), van den Hof, P.M.J. (author), Jansen, J.D. (author)

The exploitation of subsurface hydrocarbon reservoirs is achieved through the control of production and injection wells (i.e., by prescribing time-varying pressures and flow rates) to create conditions that make the hydrocarbons trapped in the pores of the rock formation flow to the surface. The design of production strategies to exploit these...

LTE Delay Assessment for Real-Time Management of Future Smart Grids

Jorguseski, L. (author), Zhang, H. (author), Dijkstra-Soudarissanane, S. (author), Golinski, M. (author)

This study investigates the feasibility of using Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular networks for the real-time smart grid state estimation. The smart grid state estimation requires measurement reports from different nodes installed in the smart grid. Therefore, the uplink LTE radio delay performance is selected as key performance indicator for...

The Hassle Factor as a Psychological Barrier to a Green Home

de Vries, G. (author), Rietkerk, M. (author), Kooger, R. (author)

In order to reach climate goals, policymakers stimulate homeowners to invest in sustainable measures in and around their house. Unfortunately, however, the number of green home measures lacks behind. This article introduces perceived hassle as an important reason for this shortfall. It is claimed that homeowners perceive hassle during different...

Recipe-Based Engineering and Operator Support for Flexible Configuration of High-Mix Assembly

Verhoosel, J.P.C. (author), van Bekkum, M.A. (author)

Nowadays, manufacturers must be increasingly flexible to quickly produce a high mix of on-demand, customer-specific, low volume product types. This requires flexible assembly lines with operators that are well-supported in their constantly changing assembly task, while producing high-quality, first-time-right, zero-defect products. Information...

A therapy system for post-traumatic stress disorder using a virtual agent and virtual storytelling to reconstruct traumatic memories

Tielman, M.L. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Bidarra, R. (author), Kybartas, B. (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author)

Although post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is well treatable, many people do not get the desired treatment due to barriers to care (such as stigma and cost). This paper presents a system that bridges this gap by enabling patients to follow therapy at home. A therapist is only involved remotely, to monitor progress and serve as a safety net....

Smart charging of electric vehicles

Kempker, P.L. (author), van Dijk, N.M. (author), Scheinhardt, W. (author), van den Berg, H. (author), Hurink, J. (author)

A crucial challenge in future smart energy grids is the large-scale coordination of distributed energy generation and demand. In the last years several Demand Side Management approaches have been developed. A major drawback of these approaches is that they mainly focus on realtime control and not on planning, and hence cannot fully exploit the...

On the use of non-MPB lead zirconium titanate (PZT) granules for piezoelectric ceramic–polymer sensorial composites

Shaji Karapuzha, A. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author), Groen, W.A. (author)

Modern flexible and sensitive sensors based on polymer–ceramic composites employ lead zirconate titanate (PZT) granulates having the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) composition as the piezo active ingredient, as this composition gives the best properties in fully ceramic piezoelectric sensors. In this study, the possibility of using PZT...

Uncertainty propagation of arbitrary probability density functions applied to upscaling of transmissivities

Lourens, A. (author), van Geer, F.C. (author)

In many fields of study, and certainly in hydrogeology, uncertainty propagation is a recurring subject. Usually, parametrized probability density functions (PDFs) are used to represent data uncertainty, which limits their use to particular distributions. Often, this problem is solved by Monte Carlo simulation, with the disadvantage that one...

Knowledge based query expansion in complex multimedia event detection

de Boer, M. (author), Schutte, K. (author), Kraaij, W. (author)

A common approach in content based video information retrieval is to perform automatic shot annotation with semantic labels using pre-trained classifiers. The visual vocabulary of state-of-the-art automatic annotation systems is limited to a few thousand concepts, which creates a semantic gap between the semantic labels and the natural language...

The European Union requires member states to achieve or maintain good environmental status for their marine territorial waters and explicitly mentions potentially adverse effects of underwater sound. In this study, we focused on producing maps of underwater sound from various natural and anthropogenic origins in the Dutch North Sea. The source...

Effect of pile-driving sounds on the survival of larval fish

Bolle, L.J. (author), de Jong, C.A.F. (author), Bierman, S.M. (author), van van Beek, P.J.G. (author), Wessels, P.W. (author), Blom, E. (author), van Damme, C.J.G. (author), Winter, H.V. (author), Dekeling, R.P.A. (author)

Concern exists about the potential effects of pile-driving sounds on fish, but evidence is limited, especially for fish larvae. A device was developed to expose larvae to accurately reproduced pile-driving sounds. Controlled exposure experiments were carried out to examine the lethal effects in common sole larvae. No significant effects were...

Fostering cooperation in inlandwaterway networks: A gaming and simulation approach

Veenstra, A.W. (author), van Meijeren, J. (author), Harmsen, J. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)

Inland waterway transport is an important economic activity in the Netherlands and in Europe. Especially in the hinterland transport of containers, inland shipping is expected to form the backbone of a multimodal transport system. To support and strengthen the inland waterway industry in the Netherlands, the Dutch Government conducted a stimulus...

Privacy and security perceptions of european citizens: A test of the trade-off model

Friedewald, M. (author), van Lieshout, M. (author), Rung, S. (author), Ooms, M. (author), Ypma, J. (author)

This paper considers the relationship between privacy and security and, in particular, the traditional “trade-off” paradigm that argues that citizens might be willing to sacrifice some privacy for more security. Academics have long argued against the trade-off paradigm, but these arguments have often fallen on deaf ears. Based on data gathered...
