Trusting Artificial Agents: Communication Trumps Performance
Acceptability and trust toward an Artificial Agent (AA) are known to be strongly related to the transparency of its behavior. However, the opacity of the AI techniques implemented to drive the behavior of AAs is growing in parallel with their performance (performance/transparency trade-off). Thus, it is crucial and increasingly required to identify...

A systematic literature review of transnational alliances in higher education : the gaps in strategic perspectives
Higher education institutions actively pursue transnational strategic alliances at the organizational level, but what are the rationales, pathways and benefits behind this pursuit? A systematic literature review in the Web of Science and Scopus reveals the majority of studies touching on this topic are descriptive, lacking definitions and theoretic...
Innovative Rhizosphere-Based Enrichment under P-Limitation Selects for Bacterial Isolates with High-Performance P-Solubi...
Published in Microbiology Spectrum
The use of phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) as inoculants for the rhizosphere is a well-known strategy to mitigate P-deficiency in plants. However, despite the multiple modes of action to render P available for plants, PSB often fail to deliver in the field as their selection is often based on a single P-solubilizing trait assessed in vitro. A...
Connections between Asian and European World Cities: Measurement, Analysis, and Evaluation
Although world regions continue to be a key feature of the geographical imagination, there has been relatively little innovative research on world regionalization through the lens of city connections. Against the backdrop of an increasingly urban and interconnected world, in this paper, we evaluate the connections between European and Asian world c...

Improving the measurement of prosociality through aggregation of game behavior.
Published in Current opinion in psychology
Prior research has found that people's choices in economic games are often only modestly related to their prosocial personality traits and to mundane prosocial behaviors. The present article reviews the recent literature showing that the strength of these relationships depends on the level of aggregation. Specifically, we demonstrate an increase in...
A real-time collaborative system for container trucks In the port of antwerp : a large scale simulation
In this work, a primary proof of concept of a real-time shared planning system (SPS) for container trucks in a port setting is presented. The aim of such an SPS is to provide a flexible system which allows horizontal collaboration between road carriers with the aim on improving the overall efficiency of the logistic chain. Its impact on the drayage...
