Chen, L.M. (author), Beck, Paula (author), van Ede, J.M. (author), Pronk, M. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Lin, Y. (author)Abstract: Anionic polymers, such as heparin, have been widely applied in the chemical and medical fields, particularly for binding proteins (e.g., fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) and histones). However, the current animal-based production of heparin brings great risks, including resource shortages and product contamination. Recently,...journal article 2024

Brembilla, E. (author), Wang, Taoning (author), Theodoropoulou, Panagiota (author), Beck, Wouter (author)The presence of sensor networks to monitor environmental conditions and the automation of blinds and lighting systems controls is now commonplace in buildings, especially public ones with a high number of occupants. However, implementing control algorithms that are sufficiently reactive to variable sky conditions and that actually meet...conference paper 2024

(author)Reverse osmosis (RO) systems offer a viable solution for treating brackish water (BW), a common but underutilized water resource. However, the energy-intensive nature of brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) systems poses affordability challenges to water supply, necessitating a focus on minimizing their energy consumption to support SDG6's...journal article 2024

(author)The complexity of the human shoulder girdle enables the large mobility of the upper extremity, but also introduces instability of the glenohumeral (GH) joint. Shoulder movements are generated by coordinating large superficial and deeper stabilizing muscles spanning numerous degrees-of-freedom. How shoulder muscles are coordinated to stabilize...journal article 2023

Past efforts have mostly focused on the estimation of daily extremes using gauge observations. Recent development of high-resolution global precipitation products, now allow estimation of...journal article 2023

Beck, I.L.Y. (author), Belli, I. (author), Peternel, L. (author), Seth, A. (author), Prendergast, J.M. (author)In this research, we propose a novel method to estimate and monitor rotator cuff tendon strains during active robotic-assisted rehabilitation. This is a significant step forward from our previous work which estimated these tendon strains during passive exercises (i.e., no muscle activity). Physiotherapists adopt a cautious approach to...conference paper 2023

(author), Beck, Christoph (author)Glaciers in the Arctic respond sensitively to climate change, recording the polar amplification of global warming with increasing mass loss. Here, we use glacier mass balances in Svalbard and northern Arctic Canada to categorize tropospheric variability and the associated summer circulation over the Arctic. We establish a link between annual...journal article 2022

The activity of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB), however, typically decreases with pH and often ceases completely in slightly acidic wastewaters. Nevertheless, nitrification at low pH has been reported in reactors treating human urine,...journal article 2017
