van Bemmelen, C. W T (author), Mann, M. (author), de Ridder, M.P. (author), Rutten, M.M. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author)Quantification of human impact on water, sediment, and nutrient fluxes at the global scale demands characterization of reservoirs with an accuracy that is presently unavailable. This letter presents a new method, based on virtual dam placement, to make accurate estimations of area-volume relationships of large reservoirs, using solely readily...journal article 2016

Pintea, S. (author), Mettes, Pascal (author), van Gemert, J.C. (author), Smeulders, AWM (author)This method introduces an efficient manner of learning action categories without the need of feature estimation. The approach starts from low-level values, in a similar style to the successful CNN methods. However, rather than extracting general image features, we learn to predict specific video representations from raw video data. The benefit...conference paper 2016

(author), Mattanovicha, Diethard (author)The yeast Pichia pastoris is a widely used host for recombinant protein production. Understanding its physiology at extremely low growth rates is a first step in the direction of decoupling product formation from cellular growth and therefore of biotechnological relevance. Retentostat cultivation is an excellent tool for studying microbes at...journal article 2016

(author), van Maris, A.J.A. (author)In Saccharomyces cerevisiae ethanol dissimilation is initiated by its oxidation and activation to cytosolic acetyl-CoA. The associated consumption of ATP strongly limits yields of biomass and acetyl-CoA-derived products. Here, we explore the implementation of an ATP-independent pathway for acetyl-CoA synthesis from ethanol that, in theory,...journal article 2016

Lenz, T. (author), Dehsari, H.S. (author), Asadi, Kamal (author), Blom, PWM (author), Groen, W.A. (author), de Leeuw, D.M. (author)We demonstrate that ferroelectric memory diodes can be utilized as switching type positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors. The diode consists of a phase separated blend of a ferroelectric and a semiconducting polymer stacked between two electrodes. The current through the semiconducting polymer depends on the ferroelectric...journal article 2016

Zhang, Z. (author), Wang, W. (author), Rans, C.D. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)This paper provides an experimental investigation into the pin loading effects on the crack growth behaviour in Fibre Metal Laminates. The pin loading effects and bypass loading effects are incorporated in two different tested joints. The analysis of the test results shows that pin loading dominates the crack growth only in the vicinity of the...journal article 2016

Arce Leon, C.A. (author), Merino Martinez, R. (author), Ragni, D. (author), Avallone, F. (author), Snellen, M. (author)Trailing edge serrations designed to reduce airfoil self-noise are retrofitted on a NACA 0018 airfoil. An investigation of the boundary layer flow statistical properties is performed using time-resolved stereoscopic PIV. Three streamwise locations over the edge of the serrations are compared. An analysis of the results indicates that, while...journal article 2016

Cervone, A. (author), Melkert, J.A. (author), Mebus, L.F.M. (author), Saunders-Smits, Gillian (author)Blended education, or “flipping the classroom” is rapidly becoming a mainstream form of teaching within universities. Within Engineering Education, it is popular as it allows more time in-class to focus on hands on activities such as demonstrations and solving complex problems. This paper discusses the effort conducted to restructure, according...journal article 2016

Correale, G. (author), Avallone, F. (author), Yu Starikovskiy, A. (author)A method to quantify the efficiency of the first two operational stages of a nanosecond dielectric barrier discharge (ns-DBD) plasma actuator is proposed. The method is based on the independent measurements of the energy of electrical pulses and the useful part of the energy which heats up the gas in the discharge region. Energy input is...journal article 2016

Kraaij, R.C. (author)We prove the large deviation principle (LDP) for the trajectory of a broad class of finite state mean-field interacting Markov jump processes via a general analytic approach based on viscosity solutions. Examples include generalized Ehrenfest models as well as Curie–Weiss spin flip dynamics with singular jump rates. The main step in the proof of...journal article 2016

Akkaya, T. (author), van Horssen, W.T. (author)In this paper, we study the transverse vibrations of a string and of a beam which are infinitely long in one direction. These vibration problems can be used as a toy model for rain-wind induced oscillations of cables. In order to suppress undesired vibrations in the string (or beam), dampers are used at the boundary. The main aim of this paper...journal article 2016

Yu, J. (author), Nane, R. (author), Haron, M.A.B. (author), Hamdioui, S. (author), Corporaal, H (author), Bertels, K.L.M. (author)Memristor-based Computation-in-Memory is one of the emerging architectures proposed to deal with Big Data problems. The design of such architectures requires a radically new automatic design flow because the memristor is a passive device that uses resistance to encode its logic value. This paper proposes a design flow for mapping parallel...conference paper 2016
