(author)The interaction between plasmonic metal catalysts and visible light can be exploited to increase their catalytic activity. This activity increase results from the generation of hot charge carriers or hot surfaces, or a combination of both. We have studied the light-induced Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of bromobenzene and m-tolylboronic...article 2019

Mu, M. (author), Stokking, H.M. (author), den Hartog, F. (author)Driven by the growth in mobile phone and tablet ownership, recent years have witnessed an increasing trend towards coordinated media experiences across multiple devices. The quality of experience (QoE) over such new generation applications is dictated by the quality of service (QoS) of underlying networks. Inevitable network delay and bandwidth...bookPart 2018

(author)As robots that share working and living environments with humans proliferate, human-robot teamwork (HRT) is becoming more relevant every day. By necessity, these HRT dynamics develop over time, as HRT can hardly happen only in the moment. What theories, algorithms, tools, computational models and design methodologies enable effective and safe...conference paper 2018

Vo-Thanh, N. (author), Jans, R. (author), Schoen, E.D. (author), Goos, P. (author)Two-level orthogonal designs play an important role in industrial screening experiments, in which the primary goal is to identify the treatment factors with the largest main effects on the output of a process or the performance of a product. Often, the experimental tests suggested by the orthogonal designs cannot be performed on a single day or...article 2018

Ullwer, C. (author), Sprung, D. (author), van Eijk, A.M.J. (author), Gunter, W. (author), Stein, K. (author)Atmospheric turbulence impacts on the propagation of electro-optical radiation. Typical manifestations of optical turbulence are scintillation (intensity fluctuations), beam wander and (for laser systems) reduction of beam quality. For longer propagation channels, it is important to characterize the vertical and horizontal distribution ...conference paper 2018

van der Waa, J.S. (author), van Diggelen, J. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Explainable AI becomes increasingly important as the use of intelligent systems becomes more widespread in high-risk domains. In these domains it is important that the user knows to which degree the system’s decisions can be trusted. To facilitate this, we present the Intuitive Confidence Measure (ICM): A lazy learning meta-model that can...conference paper 2018

(author)Monitoring an individual’s mental state using unobtrusively measured signals is regarded as an essential element in symbiotic human-machine systems. However, it is not straightforward to model the relation between mental state and such signals in real life, without resorting to (unnatural) emotion induction. We recorded heart rate, facial...conference paper 2018
