Numeriek modelleren van angiogenese tijdens huidregeneratie (Numerical modeling for angiogenesis during epidermal regeneration)

Borsje, L.J. (author)

Veel bestaande wiskundige modellen voor angiogenese (in zacht weefsel/huid) zijn 1-dimensionaal. Angiogenese is een complex proces dat nauw samenhangt met de attractant concentration, blood-vessel density en number of tips. Een aantal biologische processen zijn sterk bepalend voor de angiogenese, de belangrijkste zijn: 1. De chemotaxis zorgt...

Modeling Decadal Salt Marsh Development: Variability of the Salt Marsh Edge Under Influence of Waves and Sediment Availability

Willemsen, P. W.J.M. (author), Smits, B. P. (author), Borsje, B. W. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author), Dijkstra, J. T. (author), Bouma, T. J. (author), Hulscher, S. J.M.H. (author)

Salt marshes can contribute to coastal protection, but the magnitude of the protection depends on the width of the marsh. The cross-shore width of the marsh is to a large extent determined by the delicate balance between seaward expansion and landward retreat. The influence of the magnitude of daily occurring mild weather conditions and...

The importance of time-varying, non-tidal currents in modelling in-situ sand wave dynamics

Overes, P.H.P. (author), Borsje, B. W. (author), Luijendijk, Arjen (author), Hulscher, S. J.M.H. (author)

Sand waves are found on shallow, sandy seabeds throughout the world and their dynamics may pose an imminent threat to offshore construction. Therefore, there is a pressing need to understand bed level dynamics in sand wave areas. These bed level dynamics lead to variations in sand wave shape and migration rate over time. However, these...

Stem breakage of salt marsh vegetation under wave forcing: A field and model study

Vuik, V. (author), Suh Heo, H.Y. (author), Zhu, Zhenchang (author), Borsje, Bas W. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)

One of the services provided by coastal ecosystems is wave attenuation by vegetation, and subsequent reduction of wave loads on flood defense structures. Therefore, stability of vegetation under wave forcing is an important factor to consider. This paper presents a model which determines the wave load that plant stems can withstand before...

Assessing safety of nature-based flood defenses: Dealing with extremes and uncertainties

Vuik, V. (author), van Vuren, S. (author), Borsje, Bas W. (author), van Wesenbeeck, B (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)

Vegetated foreshores adjacent to engineered structures (so-called hybrid flood defenses), are considered to have high potential in reducing flood risk, even in the face of sea level rise and increasing storminess. However, foreshores such as salt marshes and mangrove forests are generally characterized by relatively strong temporal and...

Field-based decadal wave attenuating capacity of combined tidal flats and salt marshes

Willemsen, Pim W.J.M. (author), Borsje, Bas W. (author), Vuik, V. (author), Bouma, Tjeerd J. (author), Hulscher, Suzanne J.M.H. (author)

Foreshores consisting of both bare tidal flats and vegetated salt marshes are found worldwide and they are well studied for their wave attenuating capacity. However, most studies only focus on the small scale: just some isolated locations in space and only up to several years in time. In order to stimulate the implementation of foreshores...
