Parappurath, Nikhil (author), Alpeggiani, F. (author), Kuipers, L. (author), Verhagen, Ewold (author)Topological protection in photonics offers new prospects for guiding and manipulating classical and quantum information. The mechanism of spin-orbit coupling promises the emergence of edge states that are helical, exhibiting unidirectional propagation that is topologically protected against back scattering. We directly observe the topological...journal article 2020

Zhao, X. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)The present study proposes an economic indicator to support the evaluation of aircraft End of Life (EoL) strategies in view of the increasing demand with regards to aircraft decommissioning. This indicator can be used to evaluate the economic performance and to facilitate the trade-off studies among different strategies. First, Disposal and...journal article 2020

Ma, H. (author), Verhagen, S. (author)Precise point positioning (PPP) is one of the well-known applications of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and provides precise positioning solutions using accurate satellite orbit and clock products. The tropospheric delay due to the neutral atmosphere for microwave signals is one of the main sources of measurement error in PPP. As...journal article 2020

Haji Aghajany, S. (author), Amerian, Yazdan (author), Verhagen, S. (author)Tropospheric tomography is one of the most important techniques to reconstruct three-dimensional (3D) images of the tropospheric water vapor fields using a local GNSS network. In the conventional tropospheric tomography method, called voxel-based tropospheric tomography, the 3D space is divided into many voxels and the amount of water vapor...journal article 2020

E.g. do we go for a total lock down or keep schools open? How many people and which people should be tested? Although there are many good models from e.g. epidemiologists on the spread of the virus under certain conditions,...journal article 2020

Psychas, D.V. (author), Verhagen, S. (author)The long convergence time required to achieve high-precision position solutions with integer ambiguity resolution-enabled precise point positioning (PPP-RTK) is driven by the presence of ionospheric delays. When precise real-time ionospheric information is available and properly applied, it can strengthen the underlying model and substantially...journal article 2020

Ma, H. (author), Zhao, Qile (author), Verhagen, S. (author), Psychas, D.V. (author), Dun, H. (author)This contribution implements the Kriging interpolation in predicting the tropospheric wet delays using global navigation satellite system networks. The predicted tropospheric delays can be used in strengthening the precise point positioning models and numerical weather prediction models. In order to evaluate the performances of the Kriging...journal article 2020

Psychas, D.V. (author), Verhagen, S. (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author)A single-receiver integer ambiguity resolution-enabled precise point positioning (PPP-RTK) user experiences a long convergence time when the rather weak single-constellation dual-frequency ionosphere-float model is used. Nowadays, the rapid development of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) provides a multitude of available satellites...journal article 2020

Vink, J. (author), Santos, Bruno F. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Medeiros, I. (author), Filho, R. (author)This paper presents a new approach for solving the recovery of the airline schedule when disruptions have occurred. The goal is to develop an operational tool that provides the airline with a solution in less than one minute. The proposed recovery model uses a heuristic that iteratively solves selections of the airline's fleet in order to...journal article 2020

(author), Wyman, Claire (author)BRCA2 is a key breast cancer associated protein that is predicted to have interspersed regions of intrinsic disorder. Intrinsic disorder coupled with large size likely allows BRCA2 to sample a broad range of conformational space. We expect that the resulting dynamic arrangements of BRCA2 domains are a functionally important aspect of its role...journal article 2020

Ma, H. (author), Zhao, Qile (author), Verhagen, S. (author), Psychas, D.V. (author), Liu, Xianglin (author)The benefits of an increased number of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) in space have been confirmed for the robustness and convergence time of standard precise point positioning (PPP) solutions, as well as improved accuracy when (most of) the ambiguities are fixed. Yet, it is still worthwhile to investigate fast and high-precision...journal article 2020

Patient outcome may be partially determined by the genetic alterations in HNSCC, rendering these alterations promising candidate prognostic factors and/or therapeutic targets. However, their relevance in patient outcome...journal article 2019
