Many modern unitised façades rely on structural sealant glazing (SSG) to accommodate building drift and slab deflection. However, when hung-and-sworded panels undergo racking, the resulting shear strains expose limitations in current design workflows. While it is common practice to use simplified linear …

From March 2014 to September 2016, the instruments in the Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC) onboard the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft measured the plasma environment of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P/CG) in detail. Multiple datasets of these instruments show instances of asymmetric and …

The Feral Fragments of Lonjsko Polje film offers a series of short visual stories capturing a 4-day feral drift with the Lonjsko Polje wetlands in Croatia that we undertook with 19 participants of our workshop organised as part of the Croatian Pavilion at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition …

The flexible strain sensors have been a topic of interest for multiple studies in the past years. These sensors are soft, bendable mechanisms, which can be applied to substrates through printing or other means. They can indicate longitudinal strain through resistance change, which means that they can …

This paper aims to quantify the evolution of damage in masonry walls under induced seismicity. A damage index equation, which is a function of the evolution of shear slippage and opening of the mortar joints, as well as of the drift ratio of masonry walls, was proposed herein. Initially, a dataset of …

Voor het uitvoeren van navigatie zijn er diverse technieken. De voornaamste methode maakt gebruik van Inertial Measusement Units (IMU) en GPS. Echter is het GPS-signaal binnen gebouwen lastig te ontvangen. Ook is het GPS-signaal eenvoudig te spoofen waardoor deze navigatiemethode niet meer bruikbaar …

Het gebruik van chemische gewasbeschermingsmiddelen staat onder druk. Dit geldt ook voor de teelt van pootaardappelen. Het aantal middelen is voor deze sector teruggedrongen en dit zal in de toekomst nog meer gaan voor komen. De medeoorzaak hiervan is het aantal werkzame stof wat jaarlijks in de oppervlaktewateren …

New universities on the European mainland were mostly teaching oriented until the start of this century. Current national and local management intends to better connect research and teaching through the increase of lecturers' research capacity, often defined through their master's degrees or PhDs. However, …

Traditional IMU based PDR systems suffer from rapidly growing drift effects due to the inherent bias of the inertial sensor. Many existing solutions to mitigate this problem use aiding sensors or information as heuristics or map data. We propose a new optimization framework to solve the PDR estimation problem …

Het doel van dit onderzoek is om voor de Familiekamer inzichtelijk te maken in welke gevallen de stiefouder naast de ouders onderhoudsplichtig is en hoe deze plicht verdeeld wordt onder de onderhoudsplichtigen. De hoofdregel voor de onderhoudsplicht van de stiefouder omvat het volgende, indien iemand in …
