Artificially intelligent agents increasingly collaborate with humans in human-agent teams. Timely proactive sharing of relevant information within the team contributes to the overall team performance. This paper presents a machine learning approach to proactive communication in AI-agents using contextual …

The goal of this research was to set up suitable laboratory tests and analysis methods for the strength and durability testing of bio-based textile reinforced concrete. This thesis was a preparatory research for the actual development of bio-based TRC applications, which was not undertaken due to unforeseen …

Calcium phosphate and struvite crystallization has been widely studied for phosphate removal and recovery from urban wastewater. In this study, calcium phosphate and struvite crystallization were carried out in a fluidized-bed reactor. Experimental values of the P concentration ranged from 117-1000 mg …

The Office Jungle is an experimental office environment designed to make offices more "wild". Through this demonstration and associated design vision, we make a first attempt to reflect on and to define what characterizes wildness and how it could empower people in more playful and active lifestyles, …

We tested the hypothesis that in human ageing a decreased intramuscular acylcarnitine status is associated with (pre-)frailty, reduced physical performance and altered mitochondrial function. Results showed that intramuscular total carnitine levels and acetylcarnitine levels were lower in (pre-)frail …

This paper assesses wind resource characteristics and energy yield for micro wind turbines integrated on noise barriers. An experimental set-up with sonic anemometers placed on top of the barrier in reference positions is realized. The effect on wind speed magnitude, inflow angle and turbulence intensity …

Concerns about the negative consequences of the excessive underpricing of the current arrangement in the initial public offering (IPO) market for the provision of entrepreneurial finance—book building—have led to research into the viability of auctions for IPO pricing and allocation. IPO firms face a trade-off …

Camera trap technology has galvanized the study of predator-prey ecology in wild animal communities by expanding the scale and diversity of predator-prey interactions that can be analyzed. While observational data from systematic camera arrays have informed inferences on the spatiotemporal outcomes of …

PURPOSE: It has been reported that there is no correlation between anterior tibia translation (ATT) in passive and dynamic situations. Passive ATT (ATTp) may be different to dynamic ATT (ATTd) due to muscle activation patterns. This study aimed to investigate whether muscle activation during jumping …

Dynamic stall phenomena carry the risk of negative damping and instability in wind turbine blades. It is crucial to model these phenomena accurately to reduce inaccuracies in predicting design driving (fatigue and extreme) loads. Some of the inaccuracies in current dynamic stall models may be due to …
