van Driessche, A. (author), van Stel, H.F. (author), Vink, R. (author), Staal, I.I.E. (author)Many adverse situations for parenting and healthy child development can be detected before a child’s birth. The aim of this project was to develop and test an instrument to use in prenatal home visits, to improve the identification of adverse situations and care needs during pregnancy. The preSPARK is based on a valid and reliable broad-scope...article 2021

Gross, D. (author), Jansen, N. (author), Perez, G.A. (author), Raaijmakers, S. (author)We give a formal verification procedure that decides whether a classifier ensemble is robust against arbitrary randomized attacks. Such attacks consist of a set of deterministic attacks and a distribution over this set. The robustness-checking problem consists of assessing, given a set of classifiers and a labelled data set, whether there exists...conference paper 2020

Wickramasinghe, K. (author), Mathers, J.C. (author), Wopereis, S. (author), Marsman, D.S. (author), Griffiths, J.C. (author)Across the globe, there has been a marked increase in longevity, but significant inequalities remain. These are exacerbated by inadequate access to proper nutrition and health care services and to reliable information to make the decisions related to nutrition and health care. Many in economically developing as well as developed societies are...article 2020

Martens, M.H. (author)Road signs do not necessarily lead to the right response. Especially when signs are changed, drivers may not always detect new signs and may therefore fail to respond correctly to the situation indicated. The present driving simulator study investigated whether road familiarity (increased exposure to the same road) influenced failure to respond...article 2017

Harbers, M. (author), Peeters, M.M.M. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Due to advances in technology, the world around us contains an increasing number of robots, virtual agents, and other intelligent systems. These systems all have a certain degree of autonomy. For the people who interact with an intelligent system it is important to obtain a good understanding of its degree of autonomy: what tasks can the system...bookPart 2017

van Hoof, C. (author), van den Brand, J. (author), de Smet, J. (author), Grieten, L. (author), De Francisco, R. (author)Our increasing life expectancy also implies that many of us will be suffering from one or more chronic illnesses during a larger part of our lives. Medical-grade wearables have the grand promise and the largely untapped potential to become a cornerstone technology in the care cycle. For chronic patients, tools are needed that improve the risk...conference paper 2016

Wermser, F. (author), Täuber, S. (author), Essens, P.J.M.D. (author), Molleman, E. (author)Increased military cooperation between member states of the European Union is a political given. The Netherlands and Germany form a spearhead in this process by integrating entire military units (i.e., brigades, battalions, companies) into higher-order units of the respective other nation (i.e., divisions, brigades, battalions). Researchers and...bookPart 2016

de Wind, A. (author)Many developed countries are confronted with ageing populations, due to the increase in life expectancy and long-term decline in fertility rates. As a consequence, the ratio of the retired elderly to the active working population increases. This puts a pressure on the social security system, and causes tension in the solidarity between...doctoral thesis 2016

Helmet therapy is regularly prescribed in infants with positional skull deformation. Evidence on the effectiveness is lacking, which complicates decision making. This study aims to assess the relation between parents’ decision for treatment of skull deformation in their infant and their level of anxiety, decisional conflict,...article 2014

Hogenkamp, P.S. (author), Mars, M. (author), Stafleu, A. (author), de Graaf, C. (author)Food intake and a food’s expected satiating effect initially rely on sensory attributes. People will learn about the food’s satiating capacity by exposure. We investigated whether repeated consumption changed the expected satiety effects and intake of iso-energetic liquid and semi-solid foods. In a randomised cross-over study, participants (n =...article 2012

Alkemade, F. (author), Suurs, R.A.A. (author)Innovation is characterized by uncertainties, high risks, large investments and late returns on investment which make it a complex process. This is particularly true for sustainable innovation where market forces alone cannot be relied upon to realize the desired transitions. Insight in the dynamics of such innovation processes is necessary in...article 2012

In these missions, a UAV has the objective to search for targets and to identify those. We extend earlier work that was restricted to offline generation of search paths by enabling the...conference paper 2011

Martens, M.H. (author), Fox, M. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)The present study shows that repeated exposure to a road environment changes eye movement behaviour. In addition, repeated exposure may result in inadequate responses to unexpected changes in the road environment. Participants drove a low-cost simulator while their eye movements were recorded. With repeated exposure participants glances at...article 2007
