Ultrafast Microscopy Imaging of Acoustic Cluster Therapy Bubbles: Activation and Oscillation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Acoustic Cluster Therapy (ACT®) is a platform for improving drug delivery and has had promising pre-clinical results. A clinical trial is ongoing. ACT® is based on microclusters of microbubbles–microdroplets that, when ... -
Ultrasonic focusing through a steel layer for acoustic imaging
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Ultrasonic tools are being used for imaging in a large variety of fields, spanning from medical applications in a hospital to applications deep down in oil and gas wells. When applying ultrasonic imaging techniques to image ... -
Ultrasound speckle reduction using generative adversial networks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Generative adversial networks (GANs) have shown its ability to create realistic and accurate image-to-image transformation. The goal of this work was to investigate whether deep convolutional GANs can learn to perform ... -
Ultrasound-mediated delivery and distribution of polymeric nanoparticles in the normal brain parenchyma of a metastatic brain tumour model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The treatment of brain diseases is hindered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB) preventing most drugs from entering the brain. Focused ultrasound (FUS) with microbubbles can open the BBB safely and reversibly. Systemic drug ... -
Uncertainty quantification for linear hyperbolic equations with stochastic process or random field coefficients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In this paper hyperbolic partial differential equations with random coefficients are discussed. Such random partial differential equations appear for instance in traffic flow problems as well as in many physical processes ... -
Uncertainty-aware Virtual Sensors for Cyber-Physical Systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We present a data pipeline to train and deploy uncertainty-aware virtual sensors in cyber-physical systems. Our virtual sensor predicts the expected values of a physical sensor and a standard deviation indicating the degree ... -
Understanding Barriers to Internal Startups in Large Organizations: Evidence from a Globally Distributed Company
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2021)Large global companies need to speed up their innovation activities to increase competitive advantage. However, such companies' organizational structures impede their ability to capture trends they are well aware of due ... -
Understanding challenges to adoption of the Microsoft Elevation of Privilege game
(Chapter, 2018)The goal of secure software engineering is to create software that keeps performing as intended even when exposed to an active attacker. Threat modelling is considered to be a key activity, but can be challenging to perform ... -
Understanding Challenges to Adoption of the Protection Poker Software Security Game
(Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS);, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2019)Currently, security requirements are often neglected in agile projects. Despite many approaches to agile security requirements engineering in literature, there is little empirical research available on why there is limited ... -
Understanding coordination in global software engineering: A mixed-methods study on the use of meetings and Slack
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Given the relevance of coordination in the field of global software engineering, this work was carried out to further understand coordination mechanisms. Specifically, we investigated meetings and the collaboration tool ... -
Understanding digital platform evolution using compartmental models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Due to the growing impact of digital platforms, it is increasingly important to understand their evolution through mathematical models. As their value is dependent on their user base, we present an improved perspective on ... -
Understanding human-machine networks: A cross-disciplinary survey
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In the current hyperconnected era, modern Information and Communication Technology (ICT) systems form sophisticated networks where not only do people interact with other people, but also machines take an increasingly visible ... -
