Van Der Zee, Sophie (author), Verhoog, Tamarah (author), Post, Theo (author), Garcia-Gomez, Pilar (author), van Raaij, Erik M. (author), Diehl, J.C. (author), Hunfeld, Nicole (author)Background<br/>The health care sector is among the most carbon-intensive sectors, contributing to societal problems like climate change. Previous research demonstrated that especially the use of personal protective equipment (e.g., aprons) in critical care contributes to this problem. To reduce personal protective equipment waste, new...journal article 2024

Voltage Imaging with Engineered Proton-Pumping Rhodopsins: Insights from the Proton Transfer PathwayMeng, X. (author), Ganapathy, S. (author), van Roemburg, Lars (author), Post, M.G. (author), Brinks, D. (author)Voltage imaging using genetically encoded voltage indicators (GEVIs) has taken the field of neuroscience by storm in the past decade. Its ability to create subcellular and network level readouts of electrical dynamics depends critically on the kinetics of the response to voltage of the indicator used. Engineered microbial rhodopsins form a...review 2023

(author), Langeveld, J.G. (author)Illicit connections of wastewater to stormwater systems are the main drawback of separate sewer systems, as they lead to a direct discharge of untreated wastewater to the aquatic environment. Consequently, several inspection methods have been developed for detecting illicit connections. This study simultaneously applied several low- and high...journal article 2023

Post, Ruben A.G. (author), Blijlevens, Janneke (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author), Saakes, Daniel (author), Arango, Luis (author)Tactile experiences are a pivotal part of consumer behavior and choice. However, very little is known about why consumers esthetically appreciate touching products. The principle of Unity-in-Variety, stating that consumers like to perceive variety but only when this variety is presented as a coherent whole, has been shown to partly explain...journal article 2023

(author), Post, Johan (author), Prasad, Divyae K. (author), Medema, G.J. (author)Monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater (WW) is a promising tool for epidemiological surveillance, correlating not only viral RNA levels with the infection dynamics within the population, but also to viral diversity. However, the complex mixture of viral lineages in WW samples makes tracking of specific variants or lineages circulating in the...journal article 2023

Reported efforts to quantify the emission of micropollutants mainly focus on sampling at combined sewer overflows and storm sewer outfalls, which can be challenging. An alternative method, called...journal article 2023

(author)Circular Economy (CE) and sustainability are getting high on the political agenda of governments on the global level. Businesses and supply chains are at the heart of that transition, and need to make big steps in the coming years for making the transition from a linear model of make-use-dispose towards a circular model. For this transition,...conference paper 2022

(author)Drinking water distribution networks (WDNs) are a crucial infrastructure for life in cities. Deterioration of this ageing, and partly hidden from view, infrastructure can result in losses due to leakage and an increased contamination risk. To counteract this, maintenance strategies are required to maintain the service level. Information on...journal article 2021

Post, J.R. (author)The ironmaking blast furnace is the most efficient reactor for extracting iron from iron ore. Iron ore consists of iron oxides and in the blast furnace the iron oxides are reduced to iron and melted before it is transformed into steel in the steel plant. The lowest part or hearth of an ironmaking blast furnace plays no doubt the most important...doctoral thesis 2019
