(author), Weinans, Harrie (author), Agricola, Rintje (author)Purpose Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of pain and disability worldwide. Lack of effective therapies may reflect poor knowledge on its aetiology and risk factors, and result in the management of end-stage hip OA with costly joint replacement. The Worldwide Collaboration on OsteoArthritis prediCtion for the Hip (World COACH)...journal article 2024

Zhang, H. (author), Llombart, Nuria (author), Bueno Lopez, J. (author), Freni, Angelo (author)Photoconductive antennas (PCAs) are promising candidates for sensing and imaging applications. In recent years, our group has investigated their properties under pulsed laser illumination in transmission using a time-domain (TD) Norton equivalent circuit. Here, we extend this analysis to the link between a photoconductive source and a...journal article 2024

van Trigt, B. (author), Goethem, Jeffrey van (author), van den Bekerom, Michel (M P.J.). (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author), Hoozemans, Marco (M J.M.). (author)Background: In baseball, repetitive pitching leads to medial elbow injuries, particularly to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL). To prevent pitchers from UCL injuries, it is important to quantify the response to elbow stress. Repetitive elbow external valgus torque and muscular fatigue induced by repetitive pitching could affect markers of...journal article 2024

Kuai, H. (author), Civera, M. (author), Coletta, G. (author), Chiaia, B. (author), Surace, C. (author)In structural engineering, offshore structures are undoubtedly among the most exposed to the effects of harsh environmental conditions. The external conditions of these semi-immersed systems involve complex combinations of wave and wind loads. The operating conditions are also unique because oil production platforms are subjected to repeated...journal article 2024

Sun, Yubo (author), Mohan, Manu K. (author), Dai, Xiaodi (author), Zhang, Yiyuan (author), Ye, G. (author), De Schutter, Geert (author)The proper control of the rheological performance of silicate-based alkali-activated slag (AAS) mixtures is problematic, as the conventional superplasticizers become less effective in alkaline media. Nevertheless, several methods have been proposed to improve the workability of silicate-activated AAS, such as by extending the mixing time, and...journal article 2024

Noh, Brayden (author), Wani, Omar (author), Dunne, K.B.J. (author), Lamb, Michael P. (author)Lateral migration of meandering rivers poses erosional risks to human settlements, roads, and infrastructure in alluvial floodplains. While there is a large body of scientific literature on the dominant mechanisms driving river migration, it is still not possible to accurately predict river meander evolution over multiple years. This is in part...journal article 2024

Prakash, Suriya (author), Perrin, H.R.L. (author), Botto, L. (author)Particles trapped at a fluid-fluid interface by capillary forces can form a monolayer that jams and buckles when subject to uniaxial compression. Here we investigate experimentally the buckling mechanics of monolayers of millimeter-sized rigid plates trapped at a planar fluid-fluid interface subject to uniaxial compression in a Langmuir...journal article 2024

Savoldi, F. (author)This article examines the increasingly conflictual relationship between ports and their surrounding communities at a time of wide-reaching infrastructural expansion. It highlights how the centralization of power and logistical gigantism produce deterritorializing frictions, decoupling inhabitants from their territories and creating the...journal article 2024

Yuksel, O. (author), Caglar, Baris (author), Broggi, G.C. (author), Michaud, Véronique (author), Akkerman, Remko (author), Baran, Ismet (author)The transverse permeability of roving/tow-based fiber reinforcement is of great importance for accurate flow modeling in the pultrusion process. This study proposes an experimental approach to characterize the roving-based fiber beds' permeability under different compaction conditions. The experimental permeability results of thick roving...journal article 2024

Leonetti, Leonardo (author), Verhelst, H.M. (author)The present study aims to develop an original solid-like shell element for large deformation analysis of hyperelastic shell structures in the context of isogeometric analysis (IGA). The presented model includes a new variable to describe the thickness change of the shell and allows for the application of unmodified three-dimensional...journal article 2024

Ricci, Federica (author), Yang, M. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Cozzani, Valerio (author)Emergency response is a procedural safety barrier of paramount importance for the mitigation of fire scenarios and the prevention of escalation. However, in Natech scenarios, emergency response may be affected by the natural event impacting the site. Indeed, when contrasting Natech accidents, emergency responders have to face both the natural...journal article 2024

Mulder, W.A. (author)To estimate the depth errors in a subsurface model obtained from the inversion of seismic data, the stationary-phase approximation in a two-dimensional constant-velocity model with a dipped reflector is applied to migration with a time-shift extension. This produces two asymptotic solutions: one is a straight line, and the other is a curve....journal article 2024

Alpizar Castillo, J.J. (author), Ramirez Elizondo, L.M. (author), Bauer, P. (author)The urge to reduce the dependence on natural gas for heating at the residential level has led to the deployment of different fossil fuel-free alternatives. In the Netherlands, two technologies are leading the transition: heat pumps, due to their high COP, and photovoltaic–thermal systems, due to their dual electric-thermal output. However,...journal article 2024

Wesel, F. (author), Batselier, K. (author)In the context of kernel machines, polynomial and Fourier features are commonly used to provide a nonlinear extension to linear models by mapping the data to a higher-dimensional space. Unless one considers the dual formulation of the learning problem, which renders exact large-scale learning unfeasible, the exponential increase of model...journal article 2024

(author)Clouds affected by solar eclipses could influence the reflection of sunlight back into space and might change local precipitation patterns. Satellite cloud retrievals have so far not taken into account the lunar shadow, hindering a reliable spaceborne assessment of the eclipse-induced cloud evolution. Here we use satellite cloud measurements...journal article 2024
