(author), Thijssen, D.H.J. (author), Hopman, M.T.E. (author)Objectives. Obesity is characterized by a pro-inflammatory state, which plays a role in the pathogenesis of metabolic and cardiovascular disease. An exercise bout causes a transient increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines, whilst training has anti-inflammatory effects. No previous study examined whether the exercise-induced increase in pro...article 2019

Hildmann, H. (author), Kovacs, E. (author), Saffre, F. (author), Isakovic, A.F. (author)Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with acceptable performance are becoming commercially available at an affordable cost. Due to this, the use of drones for real-time data collection is becoming common practice by individual practitioners in the areas of e.g., precision agriculture and civil defense such as fire fighting. At the same time, as UAVs...article 2019

Knoop, V.L. (author), Wang, M. (author), Wilmink, I. (author), Hoedemaeker, D.M. (author), Maaskant, M. (author), van der Meer, E.J. (author)An increasing amount of vehicles are equipped with driver assistance systems; many of the vehicles currently on the market can be optionally equipped with adaptive cruise control and lane centering systems. Using both systems at the same time brings the vehicle to SAE level-2 automation. This means a driver does not need to perform longitudinal...article 2019

van Kooten, M. (author), Doelman, N.J. (author), Kenworthy, M. (author)For high-contrast imaging systems, the time delay is one of the major limiting factors for the performance of the extreme adaptive optics (AO) sub-system and, in turn, the final contrast. The time delay is due to the finite time needed to measure the incoming disturbance and then apply the correction. By predicting the behavior of the...article 2019

Towards continuous evolution through automatic detection and correction of service incompatibilitiesAkesson, B. (author), Sleuters, J. (author), Weiss, S. (author), Begeer, R. (author)Systems with long life times need to continuously evolve after deployment in response to changing technology and business needs. Lacking this ability not only prevents systems from quickly reacting to these changes, but also increases risk, as many small updates are collected into big infrequent upgrades. Service-oriented architectures support...conference paper 2019

Nagele, T. (author), Broenink, T. (author), Hooman, J. (author), Broenink, J. (author)The multi-disciplinary nature of the design of cyber-physical systems makes it hard to gain insight in the system behaviour early in the design process. Our aim is to allow the designers to analyse the integration of system components as well as the behaviour of the complete system in an early stage. This is achieved by creating abstract...conference paper 2019
