Bos, J.E. (author), Nooij, S.A.E. (author), Souman, J.L. (author)When studying (the effectiveness of countermeasures to) carsickness in a simulator, it currently remains a question whether results still hold true in a real car. This question not only concerns its practical consequences, but the scientific interest in the underlaying mechanisms as well. By reckoning previous observations and new insights...conference paper 2021

Baars, M. (author), Hellendoorn, H. (author), Alirezaei, M. (author)In this research a controller is developed that can control path-tracking both within and beyond stable limit handling. The controller is based on the equations of motion of the nonlinear bicycle model. The performance of the controller is evaluated in simulation, a sensitivity analysis is performed and the controller is implemented on a 1/10...article 2021

Overcoming Mass Transport Limitations in Electrochemical Reactors with a Pulsating Flow ElectrolyzerPérez Gallent, E. (author), Sánchez Martínez, C. (author), Geers, L.F.G. (author), Turk, S. (author), Latsuzbaia, R. (author), Goetheer, E.L.V. (author)Electrochemical processes are a promising technology for industrial production of chemicals. One of the major drawbacks of electrochemical systems is the low mass transfer of reactants toward the active surface area of the electrode. In this paper, an approach is presented to enhance the mass transfer and increase the overall performance of the...article 2020

(author)With the introduction of fullband speech coding the question arises what role frequency components above 14 kHz play in speech quality assessment. On the one hand, our results show that bandwidth limitation from 24 kHz down to 14 kHz is not audible to even the most critical subject. On the other hand, 14-24 kHz band limited, audible levels of...article 2020

(author)Polyoxymethylene (POM) is a polymer of formaldehyde used inter alia for kitchenware and food processing machines. By migration into food, consumers may be exposed to small additional amounts of formaldehyde in food. In order to address such potential exposures, Specific Migration Limits are derived using all studies with oral exposure in mammals...article 2019

We present a 40 ns cz gate based on a bipolar flux pulse suppressing leakage (0.1%) by interference and approaching the speed limit set by exchange coupling. This pulse harnesses a built-in echo to enhance...article 2019

Wachter, E. (author), Alirezaei, M. (author), Bruzelius, F. (author), Schmeitz, A. (author)Tyres operated at or close to their friction limits show a highly nonlinear motion to force response. This state is called limit handling. The objective of this research is to minimize lateral path tracking error while the tyres operate in limit handling. The State Dependent Riccati Equation technique is employed to develop a feedback...article 2019
