Accurate sound field reproduction in rooms is often limited by the lack of knowledge of the room characteristics. Information about the room shape or nearby reflecting boundaries can, in principle, be used to improve the accuracy of the reproduction. In this paper, we propose a method to infer the location …

In many applications of wireless sensor networks, it is important that the privacy of the nodes of the network be protected. Therefore, privacy-preserving algorithms have received quite some attention recently. In this paper, we propose a novel convex optimizationbased solution to the problem of privacy-preserving …

Average consensus algorithms are used in many distributed systems such as distributed optimization, sensor fusion and the control of dynamic systems. Consensus algorithms converge through an explicit exchange of state variables. In some cases, however, the state variables are confidential. In this paper, …

The use of wireless acoustic sensor networks (WASNs) has received increased attention over the last decade. The advantages of WASNs over stand-alone multi-microphone devices are that the microphone array is not anymore limited by the dimensions of a single device, and that microphones can be placed at …

Rotor morphing has been investigated in the past for improvement of rotor performance, either for reduction of rotor power demand or for vibratory load alleviation. The present study investigates the application of camber morphing for improvement of rotor performance in hover and vertical flight conditions, …

Dit proefschrift gaat over militaire educatie, over de ambitie van militaire academies met betrekking tot vorming en over de relatie tussen vorming en de militaire praktijk. In het bijzonder heeft dit proefschrift betrekking op de opleiding van infanterie officieren aan de Nederlandse Defensie Academie …

Fibre Bragg grating sensors have gained a lot of attention in damage detection and strain measurement applications in the past few decades. These applications include matrix crack detection and delamination tip monitoring in composite structures, crack detection in concrete and civil engineering structures …

Factor analysis is a popular tool in multivariate statistics, applied in several areas of study such as psychology, economics, chemistry and signal processing. Given a set of observed random variables, factor analysis aims at explaining and analyzing the correlation between these random variables. This …
