Satellite measurements of tropospheric NO2 columns are valuable for monitoring long-term changes in air quality. However, direct linkage satellite-derived trends with underlying NOx emissions and surface concentrations is complicated by the contribution background to column, chemical regime wherein take place, data sampling differences. Here we study 2005–2018 nitrogen oxides over polluted Neth...

This workshop report discusses the collaborative work of UT, EMC and TNO on the TREC Genomics Track 2007. The biomedical information retrieval task is approached using cross language methods, in which biomedical concept detection is combined with effective IR based on unigram language models. Furthermore, a co-occurrence method is used to select and filter candidate answers. On its own, the cro...

The Magic Formula and SWIFT tyre models are well-known semi-empirical tyre models for vehicle dynamic simulations. Up to now, the only way to account for inflation pressure changes is to identify all model parameters for each inflation pressure that has to be considered. Since this is a time consuming and consequently expensive activity, research at TNO and Eindhoven University of Technology wa...
