Semertzis, I. (author), Rajkumar, V.S. (author), Ştefanov, A. (author), Fransen, F. (author), Palensky, P. (author)Over the past decade, the number of cyber attack incidents targeting critical infrastructures such as the electrical power system has increased. To assess the risk of cyber attacks on the cyber-physical system, a holistic approach is needed that considers both system layers. However, the existing risk assessment methods are either qualitative in...conference paper 2022

Terluin, B. (author), Eekhout, I. (author), Terwee, C.B. (author)Objectives: The anchor-based minimal important change (MIC), based on the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis or predictive modeling, is biased by the proportion of improved patients. The adjusted MIC, published in 2017, adjusts the predictive MIC for this bias but does not take the reliability of the transition ratings (i.e., the...article 2022

van Ginkel, J. (author), Ruigrok, E. (author), Stafleu, J. (author), Herber, R. (author)Earthquake site response is an essential part of seismic hazard assessment, especially in densely populated areas. The shallow geology of the Netherlands consists of a very heterogeneous soft sediment cover, which has a strong effect on the amplitude of ground shaking. Even though the Netherlands is a low- to moderate-seismicity area, the seis...article 2022
