Pardhi, S. (author), Chakraborty, S. (author), Tran, D.-D. (author), El Baghdadi, M. (author), Wilkins, S. (author), Hegazy, O. (author)Long-haul heavy-duty vehicles, including trucks and coaches, contribute to a substantial portion of the modern-day European carbon footprint and pose a major challenge in emissions reduction due to their energy-intensive usage. Depending on the hydrogen fuel source, the use of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) for long-haul applications has...article 2022

van der Burg, E. (author), Toet, A. (author), Brouwer, A.M. (author), van Erp, J.B.F. (author)How we perceive the world is not solely determined by what we sense at a given moment in time, but also by what we processed recently. Here we investigated whether such serial dependencies for emotional stimuli transfer from one modality to another. Participants were presented a random sequence of emotional sounds and images and instructed to...article 2022

Bontekoe, T.H. (author), Everts, M. (author), Peter, A. (author)In this paper we propose and implement a digital permissioned decentralized anonymous payment scheme that finds a balance between anonymity and auditability. This approach allows banks to ensure that their clients are not participating in illegal financial transactions, whilst clients stay in control over their sensitive, personal information....conference paper 2022

(author)Application of a kurtosis correction to frequency-weighted sound exposure level (SEL) improved predictions of risk of hearing damage in humans and terrestrial mammals for sound exposures with different degrees of impulsiveness. To assess whether kurtosis corrections may lead to improved predictions for marine mammals, corrections were applied to...article 2022

Ennali, Y. (author), van Engers, T. (author)This paper presents an explanatory case study aimed at exploring bias leading to discriminatory decisions generated by artificial intelligence decision making systems (AI-DMS). Particularly machine learning-based AI-DMS depends on data concealing bias emerging from society. This bias could be transitioned to AI-DMS models and consequently lead...conference paper 2021

(author)Noise-induced temporary hearing threshold shift (TTS) was studied in a harbor porpoise exposed to impulsive sounds of scaled-down airguns while both stationary and free-swimming for up to 90 min. In a previous study, ∼4 dB TTS was elicited in this porpoise, but despite 8 dB higher single-shot and cumulative exposure levels (up to 199 dB re 1...article 2020

Müller, R.A.J. (author), von Benda-Beckmann, A.M. (author), Halvorsen, M.B. (author), Ainslie, M.A. (author)Regulations for underwater anthropogenic noise are typically formulated in terms of peak sound pressure, root-mean-square sound pressure, and (weighted or unweighted) sound exposure. Sound effect studies on humans and other terrestrial mammals suggest that in addition to these metrics, the impulsiveness of sound (often quantified by its kurtosis...article 2020

(author)The pace at which energy renovations are made to the existing housing stock must increase if the Netherlands is to reach the energy goals outlined in the nation's climate mitigation policy. In this paper, this challenge is addressed by introducing a novel integrative model for a private homeowner's decision-making process concerning energy...article 2019

Brouwer, A.M. (author), Stuldreher, I.V. (author), Thammasan, N. (author)Monitoring directed auditory attention in groups can be helpful in a range of contexts. Concurrent change in physiological variables across multiple listeners (physiological synchrony – PS) may be a suitable marker of attentional focus as caused by shared affective or cognitive processes. We here determine PS for EEG (electroencephalography),...conference paper 2019

van der Burg, E. (author), Alais, D. (author), Cass, J. (author)In natural scenes, audiovisual events deriving from the same source are synchronized at their origin. However, from the perspective of the observer, there are likely to be significant multisensory delays due to physical and neural latencies. Fortunately, our brain appears to compensate for the resulting latency differences by rapidly adapting to...article 2018

(author), Ainslie, M.A. (author)In seismic surveys, reflected sounds from airguns are used under water to detect gas and oil below the sea floor. The airguns produce broadband high-amplitude impulsive sounds, which may cause temporary or permanent threshold shifts (TTS or PTS) in cetaceans. The magnitude of the threshold shifts and the hearing frequencies at which they occur...article 2017

Kleijn van Willigen, G.K. (author), van Meerveld, H. (author)The reliability and availability of the Dutch storm surge barriers are calculated by probabilistic risk assessment and various underlying risk analysis methods. These calculations, however, focus on the numerical probability of the storm surge barrier functioning adequately, and the implementation of the many constraints from the risk analysis...conference paper 2016

Vestly Bergh, L.I. (author), Hinna, S. (author), Leka, S. (author), Zwetsloot, G.I.J.M. (author)The objective of this paper is to present and discuss a pilot study for conducting internal psychosocial risk auditing in the oil and gas industry, focusing on offshore units. Psychosocial risk auditing is a proactive method for monitoring the status of psychosocial factors influencing the risk of stress and ill-health in the oil and gas...article 2016

Pocta, P. (author), Beerends, J.G. (author)This paper investigates the impact of different audio codecs typically deployed in current digital audio broadcasting (DAB) systems and web-casting applications, which represent a main source of quality impairment in these systems and applications, on the quality perceived by the end user. Both subjective and objective assessments are used. Two...article 2015

Philippi, T.G. (author)The overarching purpose of this thesis was to investigate the beneficial effects of congruent visual, auditory, and tactile presentation on navigation performance. Overall, the results show that multisensory presentation is advantageous. An important aspect of this finding is that multisensory performance was always equal to or higher than the...doctoral thesis 2013

van der Burg, E. (author), Olivers, C.N.L. (author), Bronkhorst, A.W. (author), Theeuwes, J. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Searching for an object within a cluttered, continuously changing environment can be a very time-consuming process. The authors show that a simple auditory pip drastically decreases search times for a synchronized visual object that is normally very difficult to find. This effect occurs even though the pip contains no information on the location...article 2008

Zahorik, P. (author), Brungart, D.S. (author), Bronkhorst, A.W. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Although auditory distance perception is a critical component of spatial hearing, it has received substantially less scienti.c attention than the directional aspects of auditory localization. Here we summarize current knowledge on auditory distance perception, with special emphasis on recent research results. The summary will be structured...article 2005
