Goelela, V.S. (author), Kelder, T. (author), Adriaens, M.E. (author), Evelo, C.T. (author), Radonijc, M. (author)Background Illumina whole-genome expression bead arrays are a widely used platform for transcriptomics. Most of the tools available for the analysis of the resulting data are not easily applicable by less experienced users. ArrayAnalysis.org provides researchers with an easy-to-use and comprehensive interface to the functionality of R and...article 2015

(author)Het aantal vermissingen is de laatste jaren steeds toegenomen, volgens Landelijk Bureau Vermiste Personen (De Telegraaf 2014), en het hoge aantal vereist een grote politie-inspanning. Het efficiënt en effectief aanpakken van een vermissing wordt dus alleen maar belangrijker. Dit artikel gaat in op de huidige werkwijze en problematiek bij...article 2015

Jolani, S. (author), Debray, T.P.A. (author), Koffijberg, H. (author), van Buuren, S. (author), Moons, K.G.M. (author)Individual participant data meta-analyses (IPD-MA) are increasingly used for developing and validating multivariable (diagnostic or prognostic) risk prediction models. Unfortunately, some predictors or even outcomes may not have been measured in each study and are thus systematically missing in some individual studies of the IPD-MA. As a...article 2015

Naus, H.W.L. (author), Zwamborn, A.P.M. (author)The reception of electromagnetic signals depends on the polarisation matching of the transmitting and receiving antenna. The practical matching differs from the theoretical one because of the noise deterioration of the transmitted and eventually received electromagnetic field. In other applications, the polarisation parameters of the receiving...article 2014

Seykens, X. (author), Willems, F.P.T. (author), Kuijpers, B. (author), Rietjens, C. (author)This paper presents an automated fit for a control-oriented physics-based diesel engine combustion model. This method is based on the combination of a dedicated measurement procedure and structured approach to fit the required combustion model parameters. Only a data set is required that is considered to be standard for engine testing. The...article 2014

Moreau, L. (author), Hunter, A.J. (author), Velichko, A. (author), Wilcox, P.D. (author)In nondestructive testing, being able to remotely locate and size defects with good accuracy is an important requirement in many industrial sectors, such as the petrochemical, nuclear, and aerospace industries. The potential of ultrasonic guided waves is well known for this type of problem, but interpreting the measured data and extracting...article 2014

Trichias, K. (author), Litjens, R. (author), Tall, A. (author), Altman, Z. (author), Ramachandra, P. (author)The advent of Active Antenna Systems has provided new ways and features for increasing the capacity of mobile networks in order to cope with the ever increasing traffic demand. One such feature is the vertical sectorisation (VS) technique where a cell is divided into an inner and an outer sector by using a second downtilted beam from one antenna...conference paper 2014

We show that given aggregated results from statistical calculations, we can verify their correctness efficiently, without revealing any of the private inputs used for the calculation. Our construction is based on the primitive of Secure Multi-Party...conference paper 2014

Specifically, the report measures the impact on infant mortality differences of two major factors: the percentage of preterm births and gestational age-specific infant mortality rates. METHODS: Infant...article 2014

Bijl, P. (author), Kooi, F.L. (author), Hogervorst, M.A. (author)End-to-end Electro-Optical system performance tests such as TOD, MRTD and MTDP require the effort of several trained human observers, each performing a series of visual judgments on the displayed output of the system. This significantly contributes to the costs of sensor testing. Currently, several synthetic human observer models exist that can...conference paper 2014

We present an overview, discuss possible explanations, and suggest prevention measures. We analyzed mortality data from all deceased children aged 0-19 years for the period 1969-2011. Child mortality declined in the past decades, largely...article 2014

Tavasszy, L.A. (author), de Jong, G. (author)Data are essential for any empirical modelling effort. In freight transport, obtaining good data for modelling can be a challenge because of the difficulty to observe freight processes directly, the often proprietary nature of logistics data, and a relatively poor data acquisition infrastructure. In this chapter we review the different data...bookPart 2013
