Wang, Z. (author), Krishnakumari, P.K. (author), Anupam, K. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Erkens, S. (author)The relationship between real-world traffic and pavement raveling is unclear and subject to ongoing debates. This research proposes a novel approach that extends beyond traditional correlation analyses to explore causal mechanisms between mixed traffic and raveling. This approach incorporates the causal discovery method, and is applied to...journal article 2024

Zhang, S. (author), Liang, Yaxin (author), Yang, Cai (author), Venema, Paul (author), Rietveld, L.C. (author), Heijman, Sebastiaan (author)A large decrease in permeability is often observed during the filtration of nano-sized colloids, while fouling is widely regarded as the main explanation for this phenomenon. The osmotic pressure or concentration polarization (CP) of colloids can also contribute to the flux decline. However, the contribution of CP to flux loss cannot be...journal article 2024

Pita-Vidal, Marta (author), Wesdorp, J.J. (author), Splitthoff, L.J. (author), Bargerbos, A. (author), Liu, Yu (author), Kouwenhoven, Leo P. (author), Andersen, C.K. (author)Andreev spin qubits have recently emerged as an alternative qubit platform with realizations in semiconductor–superconductor hybrid nanowires. In these qubits, the spin degree of freedom of a quasiparticle trapped in a Josephson junction is intrinsically spin–orbit coupled to the supercurrent across the junction. This interaction has...journal article 2024

van der Hoek, D.C. (author), Van den Abbeele, B.H.L. (author), Ferreira, Carlos (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)Wind farm control can play a key role in reducing the negative impact of wakes on wind turbine power production. The helix approach is a recent innovation in the field of wind farm control, which employs individual blade pitch control to induce a helical velocity profile in a wind turbine wake. This forced meandering of the wake has turned...journal article 2024

Yue, X. (author), Mo, J. (author), Chen, Zhiyuan (author), Vollebregt, S. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Du, S. (author)Synchronized rectifiers offer promising solutions for piezoelectric energy harvesting; however, achieving the promised energy extraction performance necessitates using either a bulky inductor or multiple large capacitors, which cannot be on-chip integrated and increase the system form factor. This article introduces a fully integrated...journal article 2024

(author), Righi, Mattia (author), Hendricks, Johannes (author), Zahn, Andreas (author)The characteristics of aviation-induced aerosol, its processing, and effects on cirrus clouds and climate are still associated with large uncertainties. Properties of aviation-induced aerosol, however, are crucially needed for the assessment of aviation’s climate impacts today and in the future. We identified more than 1100 aircraft plume...journal article 2024

Pijnappel, T. R. (author), van den Berg, J. L. (author), Borst, S. C. (author), Litjens, R. (author)—Wireless communication networks provide a critical infrastructure, particularly in emergency situations due to disruptive events such as natural disasters or terrorist attacks. However, in these kinds of scenarios part of the network may no longer be operational and a traffic hotspot may emerge, which may result in coverage and/or capacity...journal article 2024

(author)Coastal flood managers seek to anticipate future flood risk and as a result consider the adaptation of flood defences. Instead of crest heightening, dikes can be adapted to include hydrodynamic reducing vegetated foreshores to form a nature-based hybrid flood defence, for instance; at managed realignments. In this study we investigated the...journal article 2024
