ter Heege, J.H. (author), de Bruin, G. (author)The sealing capacity of faults is one of the main controlling factors determining column heights of hydrocarbons in structural traps and potentially bypassed gas in undrained reservoir compartments. Limited available data in early exploration phases often hampers full incorporation of fault seal analysis and fault zone permeability in...conference paper 2015

Brooks, S. (author), Hoy, C.L. (author), Amelink, A. (author), Robinson, D.J. (author), Nijsten, T.E. (author)Recently, a multidiameter single-fiber reflectance and fluorescence spectroscopy device has been developed that enabled us to extract the autofluorescence of tissue that is corrected for the optical properties. Such a system has been incorporated in the population-based Rotterdam Study to investigate the autofluorescence of the skin. Since the...article 2015

Xu, J. (author), Broekens, J. (author), Hindriks, K. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)This paper reports our investigation into the effects of bodily mood expression of a humanoid robot in a scenario close to real life. To this end, we used the NAO robot to perform as a lecturer in a university class. To display either a positive or a negative mood, we modulated 41 co-verbal gestures by adjusting behavior parameters that control...conference paper 2014

(author), Aarden, L. (author), Penninks, A.H. (author)Immunogenicity is a major issue of concern for monoclonal antibodies used in human diseases and is by default mainly determined in non-human primates (NHP), as target molecules are considered most similar in NHP compared to human. In this manuscript the predictive value of immunogenicity testing in minipigs for human safety is evaluated, as the...article 2014

Verburg, P.C. (author), Römer, G.R.B.E. (author), Huis In 'T Veld, A.J. (author)We investigated the laser-material interaction during the production of laser-induced subsurface modifications in silicon with a numerical model. Such modifications are of interest for subsurface wafer dicing. To predict the shape of these modifications, a two-temperature model and an optical model were combined. We compared the model results...article 2014

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

(author)The efficiency of small-molecule OLED devices increased substantially in recent years, creating opportunities for power-efficient displays, as only light is generated proportional to the subpixel intensity. However, current active matrix OLED (AMOLED) displays on foil do not validate this power-efficient advantage, as too much power is lost in...conference paper 2014

Volker, A.W.F. (author), van Zon, A.T. (author)The inspection of wall loss corrosion is difficult at pipe supports due to limited accessibility. The recently developed ultrasonic Multi-Skip screening technique is suitable for this problem. The method employs ultrasonic transducers in a pitch-catch geometry positioned on opposite sides of the pipe support. Shear waves are transmitted in the...conference paper 2014

Most models of human trust that exist assume trust in one trustee is independent of trust in another trustee. The model introduced here addresses so-called relative...article 2014
