Revealing the hidden : the cradle of humankind
Within our current society, humankind often separates 'human place' from 'natural place'. This alienation from nature leads human beings to believe that activities outside of protected natural areas have no effect on the areas demarcated as 'natural' (Mang 2007). This belief is evident within the …

Structural-model experiments revealing bifurcation, instability and localization
Small scale experiments are invented to analyze several aspects of instability and bifurcation occurring in structures and within materials. Photoelasticity is employed to analyze the localization of stress in ordered granular materials and near stiff and thin inclusions embedded in an elastic …

Revealing challenges and opportunities in cycling safety through crowdsourcing
An increased modal share of bicycle traffic is a key mechanism to reduce emissions and solve traffic-related problems. However, a lack of comfort and (perceived) safety keeps people from using their bicycles more frequently. To improve comfort and safety in bicycle traffic, city planners need (a), …

Revealing Asset Quality: Liquidity Signaling and Optimal Stress Tests
<p>In my first chapter, I present a model in which sellers can signal the quality of an asset both by retaining a fraction of the asset and by choosing the liquidity of the market in which they search for buyers. Although these signals may seem interchangeable, I present two settings which show …

Revealing mnemonic representations of the body in the brain
Current accounts in the memory field suggest that perceptual mechanisms underpin both perception and memory processes. The overlap between perceptual and mnemonic mechanisms has been mainly shown when processing arbitrary stimuli (e.g., shapes and colours). Nevertheless, it still unclear how more …
