Timmermans, R.M.A. (author), van Pinxteren, D. (author), Kranenburg, R. (author), Hendriks, C. (author), Fomba, K.W. (author), Herrmann, H. (author), Schaap, M. (author)Due to its serious health impact particulate matter is one of the air pollutants subject to abatement policies. Information on the main sources responsible for high concentrations of pollutants is therefore crucial to enable effective policy measures. In this study we compared two different methods for attribution of particulate matter...article 2022

Estimates of the economic burden of work injuries and diseases can help policymakers prioritize occupational health and safety policies and interventions in order to best allocate scarce resources. Several attempts have been made to estimate these economic burdens at the national level, but most have not included a comprehensive list...article 2021

Bruin-Hoegee, J.M. (author), Kleiweg, D. (author), Noort, D. (author), van Asten, A.C. (author)Chemical attribution typically aims to establish a link between material found at a crime scene and a person, location or other evidence. In the field of illicit drugs, chemical attribution signatures are usually impurity profiles. Extending these to metabolized samples would create new possibilities in forensic investigations. The present study...article 2021

Hemme, M. (author), Fidder, A. (author), van der Riet-van Oeveren, D. (author), van der Schans, M.J. (author), Noort, D. (author)The primary aim of this study was to identify biomarkers of exposure to some so-called Schedule 1 sulfur mustard (HD) analogues, in order to facilitate and expedite their retrospective analysis in case of alleged use of such compounds. Since these HD analogues can be regarded as model compounds for possible impurities of HD formed during...article 2021

(author), Yevdokimov, A. (author), Schoenmakers, P. (author), Smith, J. (author), Oxley, J. (author), van Asten, A. (author)Erythritol tetranitrate (ETN) was prepared independently by two research groups from the USA and the Netherlands. The partially nitrated impurities present in ETN were studied using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to address the ultimate challenge in forensic explosives investigations, i.e., providing chemical and tactical information on...article 2020

(author)In this follow-up study the collaboration between two research groups from the USA and the Netherlands was continued to expand the framework of chemical attribution for the homemade explosive erythritol tetranitrate (ETN). Isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) analysis was performed to predict possible links between ETN samples and its...article 2020

Saberi, A.K. (author), Vissers, J. (author), Benders, F.P.A. (author)Initiatives such as smart mobility and automated driving bring new concerns such as safety and security for the automotive industry. New architecture and designs are required for the in-vehicle systems to address these emerging concerns. Early design decisions have a large impact on the required functionalities as well as the quality attributes...conference paper 2019

Li, H. (author), Meier, F. (author), Lee, X. (author), Chakraborty, T. (author), Liu, J. (author), Schaap, M. (author), Sodoudi, S. (author)Urban Heat Island (UHI) and Urban Pollution Island (UPI) are two major problems of the urban environment and have become more serious with rapid urbanization. Since UHI and UPI can interact with each other, these two issues should be studied concurrently for a better urban environment. This study investigated the interaction between the UHI and...article 2018

Willemse, C.J.A.M. (author), Heylen, D.K.J. (author), van Erp, J.B.F. (author)Affective haptic interfaces are designed to influence one’s emotional and physiological state via the sense of touch, and may be applied as communication media to increase the sense of closeness. Recent research suggests that stimulation with physical warmth can enhance this interpersonal closeness: a physical-social warmth link. It is often...article 2018

(author)Due to the increasing need for effective security measures and the integration of cameras in commercial products, a huge amount of visual data is created today. Law enforcement agencies (LEAs) are inspecting images and videos to find radicalization, propaganda for terrorist organizations and illegal products on darknet markets. This is time...conference paper 2018

Ligthart, M. (author), Henkemans, O.B. (author), Hindriks, K. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Children are eager to anthropomorphize (ascribe human attributes to) social robots. As a consequence they expect a more unconstrained, substantive and useful interaction with the robot than is possible with the current state-of-the art. In this paper we reflect on several of our user studies and investigate the form and role of expectations in...conference paper 2017

Willemse, C.J.A.M. (author), Heylen, D.K.J. (author), van Erp, J.B.F. (author)Recent research suggests that physical warmth activates perceptions of metaphorical interpersonal warmth and closeness, and increases pro-social behavior. These effects are grounded in our earliest intimate experiences: being held by our loving caregivers. These findings provide reasons to incorporate warmth in devices for distant affective...conference paper 2015

Trani, M. (author), Arts, R. (author), Leeuwenburgh, O. (author)Time-lapse seismic data provide information on the dynamics of multiphase reservoir fluid flow in places where no production data from wells are available. This information, in principle, could be used to estimate unknown reservoir properties. However, the amount, resolution, and character of the data have long posed significant challenges for...article 2013

Alpár, G. (author), Batina, L. (author), Lueks, W. (author)Recent research has shown that using public-key cryptography in order to meet privacy requirements for RFID tags is not only necessary, but also now practically feasible. This has led to the development of new protocols like the Randomized Schnorr [6] identification protocol. This protocol ensures that the identity of a tag only becomes known to...bookPart 2013

Schaap, M. (author), Kranenburg, R. (author), Curier, L. (author), Jozwicka, M. (author), Dammers, E. (author), Timmermans, R. (author)The advent of satellite data has provided a source of independent information to monitor trends in tropospheric nitrogen dioxide levels. To interpret these trends, one needs to know the sensitivity of the satellite retrieved NO2 column to anthropogenic emissions. We have applied a chemistry transport model to investigate the sensitivity of the...article 2013

Leeuwenburgh, O. (author), Arts, R. (author)The Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF), in combination with travel-time parameterization, provides a robust and flexible method for quantitative multi-model history matching to time-lapse seismic data. A disadvantage of the parameterization in terms of travel-times is that it requires simulation of models beyond the update time. A new distance...conference paper 2012

Hogenkamp, P.S. (author), Brunstrom, J.M. (author), Stafleu, A. (author), Mars, M. (author), de Graaf, C. (author)We investigated whether repeated consumption of a low-energy-dense (LED; 208 kJ/100 g) or high-energy-dense (HED; 645 kJ/100 g) soup modifies expectations relating to the satiating capacity of the food, and its subsequent intake. In study 1, participants consumed either a novel-flavoured LED (n 32; 21 (sd 1•6) years, BMI 21•4 (sd 1•6) kg/m 2) or...article 2012
