Odriozola, Magela (author), Abraham, E. (author), Lousada Ferreira, M. (author), Spanjers, H. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author)The application of cationic polymers to enhance membrane fluxes in anaerobic membrane bioreactors has been proposed by several authors. However, literature shows contradictory results on the influence of those chemicals on the biological activity. In this research, we studied the effect of a cationic polymer on the production of methane from...journal article 2019

Daneshpour Aryadi, H. (author), Youk, H.O. (author)Communicating is crucial for cells to coordinate their behaviors. Immunological processes, involving diverse cytokines and cell types, are ideal for developing frameworks for modeling coordinated behaviors of cells. Here, we review recent studies that combine modeling and experiments to reveal how immune systems use autocrine, paracrine, and...review 2019

van Bruggen, Anne (author), Nikolic, I. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author)Coherent responses to important problems such as climate change require involving a multitude of stakeholders in a transformative process leading to development of policy pathways. The process of coming to an agreement on policy pathways requires critical reflection on underlying system conceptualizations and commitment to building capacity...journal article 2019

Grillo, F. (author)Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a gas-phase thin film technology that boasts atomic-level control over the amount of material being deposited. A great deal of research effort has been devoted to the exploitation of ALD precision for the synthesis of nanostructures other than thin films such as supported nanoparticles (NPs). ALD is not only...doctoral thesis 2018

Pereira, Joana P.C. (author), van der Wielen, L.A.M. (author), Straathof, Adrie J.J. (author)A new approach was studied for bio-based production of methyl propionate, a precursor of methyl methacrylate. Recombinant E. coli cells were used to perform a cascade reaction in which 2-butanol is reduced to butanone using alcohol dehydrogenase, and butanone is oxidized to methyl propionate and ethyl acetate using a Baeyer-Villiger...journal article 2018

Rivera Arreba, I. (author), Bruinsma, N. (author), Bachynski, E. E. (author), Viré, A.C. (author), Paulsen, B. T. (author), Jacobsen, N. G. (author)Floating offshore wind platforms may be subjected to severe sea states, which include both steep and long waves. The hydrodynamic models used in the offshore industry are typically based on potential-flow theory, and/or Morison's equation. These methods are computationally efficient, and can be applied in global dynamic analysis considering...conference paper 2018

(author)With regard to context-aware systems: some optimize system-internal processes, based on the context state at hand; others maximize the user-perceived effectiveness of delivered services, by providing different service variants depending on the situation of the user; still others are about offering value-sensitivity when the society demands so...conference paper 2018

Izett, J.G. (author), Fennel, Katja (author)Rivers deliver large amounts of terrestrially derived materials (such as nutrients, sediments, and pollutants) to the coastal ocean, but a global quantification of the fate of this delivery is lacking. Nutrients can accumulate on shelves, potentially driving high levels of primary production with negative consequences like hypoxia, or be...journal article 2018

Lordejani, S. Naderi (author), Besselink, B. (author), Abbasi, M. H. (author), Kaasa, G. O. (author), Schilders, W. H.A. (author), van de Wouw, N. (author)Automated Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) is a method for fast and accurate pressure control in drilling operations. The achievable performance of automated MPD is limited, firstly, by the control system and, secondly, by the hydraulics model based on which this control system is designed. Hence, an accurate hydraulics model is needed that,...journal article 2018

Prasanth, V. (author), Bandyopadhyay, S. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Ferreira, Jan Abraham (author)This paper deals with a generic methodology to evaluate the magnetic parameters of contactless power transfer systems. Neumann's integral has been used to create a matrix method that can model the magnetics of single coils (circle, square, rectangle). The principle of superposition has been utilized to extend the theory to multi-coil...journal article 2017

(author), Oude Essink, GHP (author), Delsman, Joost (author)Surface water salinization in deltaic areas due to saline groundwater exfiltration is an important issue. Saline surface water will not be appropriate for drinking water production, agricultural and industrial use, and therefore, freshwater diverted from rivers is used for flushing the canals and ditches in coastal areas. The effects of climate...conference paper 2017
