Egberts, G. (author)Burns can make patients’ lives quite miserable. Apart from prominent and thickened, or hypertrophic, scars, the skin may be characterized by contraction. When this contraction is so severe that the patient loses joint mobility, it is called contracture. Then a patient may have difficulties with sports or other daily activities. The consequence...doctoral thesis 2023

van Stijn, A. (author)Creating a circular economy within the built environment plays a crucial role in society’s pursuit to become more sustainable. A building consists of building components, such as a kitchen, façade and roof. By replacing building components with more circular ones during new construction, maintenance and renovation, we can gradually make...doctoral thesis 2023

(author), Suri, Dhruv (author), Wild, Thomas B. (author), Azevedo, Inês M.L. (author)Renewable electricity generation will need to be rapidly scaled to address climate change and other environmental challenges. Doing so effectively will require an understanding of resource availability. We review estimates for renewable electricity of the global technical potential, defined as the amount of electricity that could be produced...review 2023

Santjer, R. (author), Mares Nasarre, P. (author), El Serafy, G.Y.H. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author)Aquaculture is gaining importance in the current context of continuous growth population as a source of (local) food resources and its potential of being combined with other uses at sea (e.g.: offshore energy production or tourism). Consequently, within the European Horizon 2020 project UNITED, the combination of mussel and seaweed cultivation...conference paper 2023

Clarinval, Antoine (author), Simonofski, Anthony (author), Castiaux, Annick (author), Gao, Yingying (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)The publication of Open Government Data (OGD) is expected to deliver economic value creation through innovation. In any OGD-based value creation, it is essential to formulate a value proposition (VP). However, previous literature has devoted little attention to the tools that support the formulation of OGD-based VP, and none has evaluated the...conference paper 2023

De Kwant, Jochem (author), Hekkenberg, R.G. (author), Souflis-Rigas, A.S.R. (author), Kana, A.A. (author)This article examines the potential implications of using iron powder as an alternative fuel on the design and performance of container ships. Iron powder is a relatively new alternative energy carrier and one in which little research has been done into the application on-board vessels as part of the maritime energy transition. The key...journal article 2023

van Stijn, A. (author), Wouterszoon Jansen, B. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author), van Bortel, G.A. (author)Implementing circular building components can contribute to the transition to a circular economy. There are many possible circular design options for building components. Knowledge on which options are feasible to implement remains limited. Existing feasibility studies do not compare multiple circular design options, building components and...journal article 2023

Eltayieb, M.F.M.I. (author), Werthmüller, D. (author), Drijkoningen, G.G. (author), Slob, E.C. (author)Tracking temperature changes by measuring the resulting resistivity changes inside low-enthalpy reservoirs is crucial to avoid early thermal breakthroughs and maintain sustainable energy production. The controlled-source electromagnetic method (CSEM) allows for the estimation of sub-surface resistivity. However, it has not yet been proven that...journal article 2023

Olavarria, Karel (author), Sousa, Diana Z. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Wahl, S.A. (author)Utilizing anaerobic metabolisms for the production of biotechnologically relevant products presents potential advantages, such as increased yields and reduced energy dissipation. However, lower energy dissipation may indicate that certain reactions are operating closer to their thermodynamic equilibrium. While stoichiometric analyses and...journal article 2023

Shisodia, A.S. (author)Urban areas generate high demand for urban areas to accommodate a broader range of functions associated with growth, given the rising rate of urbanization with more than two-thirds of the human population in 2050 projected to be city-dwellers. As a result, urban areas have been undergoing vigorous spatial, social, and ecological transitions....journal article 2023

(author)Augmented reality (AR) permits the visualization of pre-operative data in the surgical field of view of the surgeon. This requires the alignment of the AR device’s coordinate system with the used navigation/tracking system. We propose a multimodal marker approach to align an AR device with a tracking system: in our implementation, an...journal article 2022

Zhilyaev, D. (author), Binnekamp, R. (author), Wolfert, A.R.M. (author)Within traditional design processes, decisions are often made based on individualistic values and late-stage assessments conducted on a predefined set of design alternatives potentially leading to suboptimal design decisions and conflicts. The issues are further amplified by the growing complexity of construction project management where an...journal article 2022
