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

Zhou, H. (author), Dorsman, J.L. (author), Mandjes, M. (author), Snelder, M. (author)Nowadays, many cities are intending to reduce the use of private vehicles. Governments are incorporating new mobility services and are adapting their parking policies to promote a more sustainable mobility, as both stra tegies are believed to have the potential to reduce private vehicle use. To understand the effects of these stra tegies, one...article 2023

Koene, F.G.H.F. (author), Eslami-Mossallam, B.B. (author)Future energy infrastructures are expected to be smart, with the application of energy storage and demand-side management strategies. To size the energy storage and assess the flexibility of the heat demand in a district, insight into its heat demand profile is a prerequisite. A tool was developed to generate the hourly space heating demand of a...article 2023

Kell, N.P. (author), van der Weijde, A.H. (author), Li, L. (author), Santibanez-Borda, E. (author), Pillai, A.C. (author)This paper presents a novel agent-based, stochastic model, which uses game-theoretic principles to simulate Contract for Difference (CfD) auctions. The framework has use cases and implications for policymakers and renewable generators alike, and can be used by developers to prepare bidding strategy and for policymakers to empirically test...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

(author)Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) comprises a spectrum of liver damage directly related to diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. The (pro)renin receptor (PRR) has recently been demonstrated to play a role in glucose and lipid metabolism. Here, we test the hypothesis that the PRR regulates the development of diet-induced hepatic...article 2023

(author)We trained a model to distinguish an extreme high arousal, unpleasant drink from regular drinks based on a range of implicit behavioral and physiological responses to naturalistic tasting. The trained model predicted arousal ratings of regular drinks, highlighting the possibility to estimate affective experience without having to rely on...article 2023

Reuten, A.J.C. (author), Smeets, J.B.J. (author), Rausch, J. (author), Martens, M.H. (author), Schmidt, E.A. (author), Bos, J.E. (author)The introduction of (fully) automated vehicles has generated a re-interest in motion sickness, given that passengers suffer much more from motion sickness compared to car drivers. A suggested solution is to improve the anticipation of passive self-motion via cues that alert passengers of changes in the upcoming motion trajectory. We already know...article 2023

Thurkow, M. (author), Banzhaf, S. (author), Burler, T. (author), Pultz, J. (author), Schaap, M. (author)Millions of people are exposed to enhanced levels of nitrogen dioxide in urbanized areas, leading to severe health effects. Moreover, nitrogen oxides contribute to the formation of ozone and particulate matter, and as such have wider health related impacts. A substantial reduction of nitrogen oxides may offer considerable health benefits for the...article 2023

Verdenius, S.A. (author), Hengeveld, S.T. (author), Maljaars, J. (author)Train axle load measurements performed between 2012 and 2019 at 87 locations in the Dutch railway network are used to evaluate fatigue of railway bridges. The theoretical fatigue damage using realistic influence lines is determined for the measured loads and for the load model from Eurocode EN 1991-2 Annex D. It appears that this load model is ...article 2023

On the use of common random numbers in activity-based travel demand modeling for scenario comparisonZhou, H. (author), Dorsman, J.L. (author), Mandjes, M. (author), Snelder, M. (author)Activity-based travel demand models provide a high level of detail when modeling complex travel behavior. Since stochastic simulation is used, however, this high level may induce large random fluctuations in the output, necessitating many model reruns to produce reliable output. This may become prohibitive in terms of computation time when...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
