Tan, C. (author), Wang, S. (author), Yang, Huiru (author), Huang, Qianming (author), Li, Shizhen (author), Liu, X. (author), Ye, H. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)Short-wave ultraviolet (also called UVC) irradiation is a well-adopted method of viral inactivation due to its ability to damage genetic material. A fundamental problem with the UVC inactivation method is that its mechanism of action on viruses is still unknown at the molecular level. To address this problem, herein we investigate the...journal article 2023

Tan, J. (author), Wang, X. (author), Polinder, H. (author), Jarquin Laguna, A. (author), Miedema, S.A. (author)A crucial part of wave energy converters (WECs) is the power take-off (PTO) mechanism, and PTO sizing has been shown to have a considerable impact on the levelized cost of energy (LCOE). However, as a dominating type of PTO system in WECs, previous research pertinent to PTO sizing did not take modeling and optimization of the linear permanent...journal article 2022
