(author), Buizer, Annemieke I. (author)To improve gait in children with spastic paresis due to cerebral palsy or hereditary spastic paresis, the semitendinosus muscle is frequently lengthened amongst other medial hamstring muscles by orthopaedic surgery. Side effects on gait due to weakening of the hamstring muscles and overcorrections have been reported. How these side effects...journal article 2018

Assessment of short- and long-term memory in trends of major climatic variables over Iran: 1966–2015Mianabadi, Ameneh (author), Shirazi, Pooya (author), Ghahraman, Bijan (author), Coenders-Gerrits, Miriam (author), Alizadeh, Amin (author), Davary, Kamran (author)In arid and semi-arid regions, water scarcity is the crucial issue for crop production. Identifying the spatial and temporal trends in aridity, especially during the crop-growing season, is important for farmers to manage their agricultural practices. This will become especially relevant when considering climate change projections. To reliably...journal article 2018

Benard, P. (author), Viré, A.C. (author), Moureau, V. (author), Lartigue, G. (author), Beaudet, L. (author), Deglaire, P (author), Bricteux, L (author)Accurate simulation of wind turbine wakes is critical for the optimization of turbine efficiency and prediction of fatigue loads. These wakes are three-dimensional, complex, unsteady and can evolve in geometrically complex environments. Modeling these flows calls thus for high-quality numerical methods that are able to capture and transport thin...journal article 2018

Tarsi, G. (author), Varveri, Aikaterini (author), Lantieri, Claudio (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author), Sangiorgi, Cesare (author)Bitumen undergoes ageing, which leads to changes in its chemical and rheological properties, causing it to become harder and more brittle with time. This study aims to compare the effects of different laboratory ageing methods on the chemistry and rheology of three bitumen types: a Pen 40=60, a Pen 70=100, and a polymer-modified bitumen (PmB)...journal article 2018

Puskely, J. (author), Aslan, Y. (author), Roederer, A.G. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)In this paper, we present a 5G base station phased antenna array concept based on the power equalization in the elevation cut. We designed aperture coupling microstrip patch array exploiting a substrate integrated waveguide structure as feeding line for realization of the cosecant radiation pattern in elevation cut. The antenna is designed to be...conference paper 2018

(author), Sosa, J. (author), van Verseveld, WJ (author), Schellekens, J. (author), Sloff, C.J. (author)The West African coastal barrier is maintained by significant wave-driven longshore sand transport. This sand originates from rivers and large coastal sand deposits. Today, however, much of the fluvial sand is trapped behind river dams and/or interrupted at several locations by port jetties. As a result, the sandy coastal barrier is eroding...journal article 2018

(author), Feddersen, Falk (author)Plankton are transported onshore, providing subsidies of food and new recruits to surf-zone and intertidal communities. The transport of plankton to the surf zone is influenced by wind, wave, and tidal forcing, and whether they enter the surf zone depends on alongshore variation in surf-zone hydrodynamics caused by the interaction of breaking...review 2018
