Background: Revealing tacit knowledge often is seen as very valuable for organizations, although it is usually challenging to enunciate and share this type of knowledge. Methods: This study uses a participatory design and the application of a board gaming simulation as instruments to extract tacit knowledge. …

We investigate hydrology during a past climate slightly warmer than the present: the last interglacial (LIG). With daily output of preindustrial and LIG simulations from eight new climate models we force hydrological model PCR‐GLOBWB and in turn hydrodynamic model CaMa‐Flood. Compared to preindustrial, …

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 …

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 …

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 …

In mathematics, sciences and economics, understanding and working with graphs are important skills. However, developing these skills has been shown to be a challenge in secondary and higher education as it involves high order thinking processes such as analysis, reflection and creativity. In this study, …

Part of the project: TFF-Optimization of Mixing Elements. Polymer mixing with a single screw extruder is a common process in industry. Mixing quality depends on (amongst others) the screw geometry. The main objective of this study was to quantify distributive mixing behavior of a single screw extruder …

Small urban water bodies, like ponds or canals, are often assumed to cool their surroundings during hot periods, when water bodies remain cooler than air during daytime. However, during the night they may be warmer. Sufficient fetch is required for thermal effects to reach a height of 1–2 m, relevant …

The current configuration of the robotic stearate coating process only supports certain bead sizes, the rest is coated manually. The current configuration lacks capacity and requires a lot of maintenance due to the age of the used robots. To be able to support all bead sizes, increase the daily capacity, …
