Peters, S.L.A. (author), Tabasi, A. (author), Kingma, I. (author), van Dijk, W. (author), van Dieën, J.H. (author)Mechanical loading of the low-back is an important risk factor for the development of low-back pain. Real-time estimation of the L5S1 joint moment (ML5S1) can give an insight to reduce mechanical loading. Model accuracy depends on sensor information, limiting the number of input variables to estimate ML5S1 increases practical feasibility, but...article 2023

Cai, M. (author), van Buuren, S. (author), Vink, G. (author)Fully conditional specification (FCS) is a convenient and flexible multiple imputation approach. It specifies a sequence of simple regression models instead of a potential complex joint density for missing variables. However, FCS may not converge to a stationary distribution. Many authors have studied the convergence properties of FCS when...article 2023

Yang, Q. (author), Coutino, M. (author), Leus, G. (author), Giannakis, G.B. (author)Graph-based learning and estimation are fundamental problems in various applications involving power, social, and brain networks, to name a few. While learning pair-wise interactions in network data is a well-studied problem, discovering higher-order interactions among subsets of nodes is still not yet fully explored. To this end, encompassing...article 2023

Kerstholt, J. (author), Smits-Clijsen-E.., (author)Bij complexe en langdurige crises zoals de coronacrisis kan het perspectief van meerdere partijen nodig zijn om de oplossing te leveren. Want de gevolgen van zo’n crisis kunnen de grenzen van organisaties die niet gewend zijn om met elkaar samen te werken overstijgen. Het opbouwen van een gezamenlijk beeld van de crisis is een voorwaarde om tot...article 2023

Paradies, G.L. (author), Usmani, O.A. (author), Lamboo, S. (author), van den Brink, R.W. (author)The widespread adoption of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is a crucial element in climate policy for the transport sector. To design effective policies to stimulate the uptake of BEVs, it is essential to understand the barriers and drivers that influence consumers' choices for a BEV. To this aim, we present a computational model named CODEC, a...article 2023

(author)Multi-barrier cleavage models consider cleavage fracture which is characterized by a series of microscale events. One of the challenges for multi-barrier cleavage models is the strong variations of cleavage parameters across different types of steels. The source and magnitude of the variations have not been studied systematically. In the current...article 2023
