Poggione Garcia, A. (author), van der Meer, Brenda (author), van der Meer, Harma (author), Bange, Rein (author), Klootwijk, R. (author)The emission of CO2 is a significant contributor to global warming, with the mobility sector being a major source. The EU has set a goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, requiring substantial CO2 reduction efforts, particularly in densely populated regions like the Rhine-Delta (RDR). This region’s extensive mobility network, serving both...student report 2024

(author), Bruno, A. (author), DiCarlo, L. (author)We investigate die-level and wafer-scale uniformity of Dolan-bridge and bridgeless Manhattan-style Josephson junctions, using multiple substrates with and without through-silicon vias (TSVs). Dolan junctions fabricated on planar substrates have the highest yield and lowest room-temperature conductance spread, equivalent to ∼ 100 M H z in...journal article 2024

Wang, Xintu (author), Xu, Yanghui (author), Ou, Q. (author), Chen, Wenwen (author), van der Meer, W.G.J. (author), Liu, G. (author)The excessive use and accumulation of water-soluble polymers (WSPs, known as “liquid plastics”) in the environment can pose potential risks to both ecosystems and human health, but the environmental fate of WSPs remains unclear. Here, the adsorption behavior of WSPs with different molecular weight on kaolinite (Kaol) and montmorillonite (Mt)...journal article 2024

Ke, L. (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author)Numerical methods for delamination analysis, such as the cohesive zone method, require fracture energy as an essential input. Existing formulations rely on a phenomenological relationship that links fracture energy to the mode of fracture based on linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). However, doubts exist about the applicability of LEFM....journal article 2024

van der Meer, M.T. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author), Vossen, Piek (author), Murukannaiah, P.K. (author)Presenting high-level arguments is a crucial task for fostering participation in online societal discussions. Current argument summarization approaches miss an important facet of this task-capturing diversity-which is important for accommodating multiple perspectives. We introduce three aspects of diversity: those of opinions, annotators, and...conference paper 2024

Wang, Di (author), Ren, Anran (author), Yao, Mingchen (author), Hu, Bin (author), van der Meer, Walter (author), Liu, G. (author)Drinking water biosafety has become an increasing concern for public health. Chlorination is widely used as the main disinfection strategy worldwide but has clear and well-known byproduct issues. The Netherlands has successfully demonstrated unchlorinated approach for almost 20 years but has not been widely adopted by other countries. To...journal article 2024

Storm, J. (author), Rocha, I.B.C.M. (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author)Simulating the mechanical response of advanced materials can be done more accurately using concurrent multiscale models than with single-scale simulations. However, the computational costs stand in the way of the practical application of this approach. The costs originate from microscale Finite Element (FE) models that must be solved at every...journal article 2024

van der Meer, Lars (author)This paper explores the potential of smart contracts in the reinsurance industry to address escalating non-productive costs driven by market dynamics. Reinsurers, aiming to enhance stability amid increasing inflation, claim severity, and frequency, have adopted stricter underwriting criteria and raised premiums. This has led to a more detailed...master thesis 2023

van der Meer, Fos (author)This report investigates a scheduling problem where task duration is uncertain. The duration per task has a lower and upper bound, and is dependent on observed duration of other tasks. This tries to closer model real life. We reduce all possible different outcomes to a few extreme scenarios. The report compares two types of heuristcs: one which...bachelor thesis 2023

(author)Biofilm detachment contributes to water quality deterioration. However, the contributions of biofilm detachment from different pipes have not been quantified or compared. Following the introduction of partial reverse osmosis (RO) in drinking water production, this study analyzed particles at customers’ ends and tracked their origins to water...journal article 2023

Kovacevic, D. (author), Sundararajan, Bharath K. (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author)A microscale numerical framework for modeling creep rupture in unidirectional composites under off-axis loading is presented, building on recent work on imposing off-axis loading on a representative volume element. Creep deformation of the thermoplastic polymer matrix is accounted for by means of the Eindhoven Glassy Polymer material model....journal article 2023

(author), van der Meer, Marijn (author), Long, David (author), Wouters, B. (author)While the influence of surface melt on Antarctic ice shelf stability can be large, the duration and affected area of melt events are often small. Therefore, melt events are difficult to capture with remote sensing, as satellite sensors always face the trade-off between spatial and temporal resolution. To overcome this limitation, we developed...journal article 2023
