Tajdari, F. (author), Berkhoff, A.P. (author), de Boer, A. (author)This paper focuses on extensive numerical and experimental investigations of a thin sandwich acoustic source. Due to an energy inefficient actuation design, a thin sandwich acoustic source that was proposed in an early study is redesigned and reconstructed in the current research. The thin acoustic source in the present paper is actuated by long...article 2020

van Rossum, W.L. (author), Anitori, L. (author)In this article a novel waveform based on agile (or irregular) pulse intervals is presented as a potential approach to simultaneously resolve both range and Doppler ambiguities using a single burst in radar measurements containing very far away and/or very fast targets. The paper shows that, the combination of irregularly spaced transmitted...conference paper 2020

(author)To predict the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) profile of candidate drugs a variety of preclinical models can be applied. The ADME and toxicological behavior of newly developed drugs are often investigated prior to assessment in humans, which is associated with long time-lines and high costs. Therefore, good predictions...article 2020

(author)Automatic detection and tracking of maritime targets in imagery can greatly increase situation awareness on naval vessels. Various methods for detection and tracking have been proposed so far, both for reasoning as well as for learning approaches. Learning approaches have the promise to outperform reasoning approaches. They typically detect...conference paper 2019

(author)This paper presents a method to simultaneously compute optimal simulator motions and simulator parameters for a predefined set of vehicle motions. The optimization can be performed with a model of human motion perception or sensory dynamics taken into account. The simulator dynamics, sensory dynamics, and optimality criterion are provided by the...article 2019

Miksys, J. (author), Arutinov, G. (author), Römer, G.R.B.E. (author)Silver nanoparticle inks are among the key functional materials used in printed electronics. Depositing it by laser-induced forward transfer remains a challenging task because the non-linear rheological nature of these inks narrows the range of the laser processing parameters. Understanding, therefore, the influence of the laser parameters on...article 2019
