Cordier, Florian (author), Tassi, Pablo (author), Claude, Nicolas (author), Crosato, A. (author), Rodrigues, Stéphane (author), Pham Van Bang, Damien (author)Bars are large sediment deposits alternating with deeper areas that arise from alluvial river bed instability and forcing. The present study aimed at investigating the combined influence of flow and longitudinal width variations on the co-evolution between bar pattern and sediment sorting in a sandy-gravel river reach. To this goal, a fully...journal article 2020

Cordier, F. (author), Tassi, P. (author), Claude, N. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Rodrigues, S. (author), Pham Van Bang, D. (author)Rivers typically present heterogeneous bed material, but the effects of sediment nonuniformity on river bar characteristics are still unclear. This work investigates the impact of sediment size heterogeneity on alternate bars with a morphodynamic numerical model. The model is first used to reproduce a laboratory experiment showing alternate...journal article 2019

(author), Baltazar, Fátima (author), Rodrigues, Ligia R. (author)Colorectal cancer is frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage due to the absence of early clinical indicators. Hence, the identification of new targeting molecules is crucial for an early detection and development of targeted therapies. This study aimed to identify and characterize novel peptides specific for the colorectal cancer cell line...journal article 2019

Rodrigues, João F. D. (author), Yuan, Rong (author), Lin, H.X. (author)Carbon footprints and other environmentally extended input–output indicators are obtained as aggregations of emissions embodied in supply chains (EESCs), which express the emissions occurring in a specific production activity to satisfy a given volume of final demand. Here we derive theoretical approximations of the expectations of and...journal article 2019

(author)This paper presents a dynamic model of modular multilevel converters (MMCs), which are considered as an effective interface between energy sources and the power grid. By improving the converter performance, appropriate reactive power compensation is guaranteed. Modulation indices are calculated based on detailed harmonic evaluations of both...journal article 2019

Jesus de Moraes, R. (author), Rodrigues, José R.P. (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author), Jansen, J.D. (author)A generic framework for the computation of derivative information required for gradient-based optimization using sequentially coupled subsurface simulation models is presented. The proposed approach allows for the computation of any derivative information with no modification of the mathematical framework. It only requires the forward model...journal article 2018

(author), Jansen, F.W. (author)Background: During the implementation of new interventions (i.e., surgical devices and technologies) in the operating room, surgical safety might be compromised. Current safety measures are insufficient in detecting safety hazards during this process.

(author)Background: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is frequently compromised by surgical flow disturbances due to technology- and equipment-related failures. Compared with MIS in a conventional cart-based OR, performing MIS in a dedicated integrated operating room (OR) is supposed to be beneficial to patient safety.

Driessen, Sara R C (author), Sandberg, Evelien M. (author), Rodrigues, Sharon P. (author), van Zwet, Erik W. (author), Jansen, F.W. (author)Background: Since the introduction of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), concerns for patient safety are more often brought to the attention. Knowledge about and awareness of patient safety risk factors are crucial in order to improve and enhance the surgical team, the environment, and finally surgical performance.

Two assessment instruments were used: Berners-Lee’s (2010) Five Star Scheme and the 15 Open Data Principles proposed by Opengovdata (2007). Based on them, a methodology for structured analysis was built, and used to analyze three sets of...journal article 2016

Rodrigues, Diego (author), Nazarian, G. (author), Moreira, Álvaro (author), Carro, Luigi (author), Gaydadjiev, G. (author)Software-based methods for the detection of control-flow errors caused by transient fault usually consist in the introduction of protecting instructions both at the beginning and at the end of basic blocks. These methods are conservative in nature, in the sense that they assume that all blocks have the same probability of being the target of...conference paper 2015

Rodrigues, S. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Pierik, J. (author)Although, only in recent years, northern European countries started to install large offshore wind farms, it is expected that by 2020, several dozens of far and large offshore wind farms (FLOWFs) will be built. These FLOWFs will be constituted of a considerable amount of wind turbines (WTs) packed together, leading to an energy density increase....conference paper 2013
