Nijland, Timo G. (author), Lubelli, B. (author), van Zundert, Kim (author), van Hunen, Michiel (author)The impregnation of the exterior surface of a masonry wall with a water repellent is a common intervention in (historic) building renovation and maintenance. Such treatments, whilst degrading at the surface with time under influence of ultra violet light, remain effective below the surface several decades after their application. During...journal article 2024

Lubelli, B. (author), des Bouvrie, Ernst (author), Nijland, Timo G. (author), Kamat, Ameya (author)Salt crystallization is a major cause of weathering of mortars, including plasters and renders. In the last decade, the use of mixed-in salt crystallization inhibitors in mortars has been proposed as a solution to improve the durability of this material with respect to salt decay. Laboratory characterization and accelerated weathering tests have...journal article 2023

Noordijk, Ben (author), Nijland, Reindert (author), Carrion, Victor J. (author), Raaijmakers, Jos M. (author), De Ridder, Dick (author), de Lannoy, C.V. (author)With its candybar form factor and low initial investment cost, the MinION brought affordable portable nucleic acid analysis within reach. However, translating the electrical signal it outputs into a sequence of bases still requires mid-tier computer hardware, which remains a caveat when aiming for deployment of many devices at once or usage...journal article 2023

Nedeljković, Marija (author), Visser, Jeanette (author), Nijland, Timo G. (author), Valcke, Siska (author), Schlangen, Erik (author)In the Netherlands, beside cement replacement with more green cement types, there is also an urgent need for alternative materials for natural sand in new concrete in order to make it circular. Furthermore, the recyclers have raised questions regarding upscaling and the potential of fine recycled concrete aggregates (fRCA) in structural concrete...conference paper 2021

(author)An important input parameter for numerical models that simulate cracking of the concrete cover due to reinforcement corrosion is the Elastic modulus of corrosion product (Ecp). Despite its relevance, Ecp is subject of significant variations according to the values reported in the literature, which vary from less than 100 MPa up to 360 GPa....conference paper 2021

Lubelli, B. (author), Nijland, Timo G. (author), van Hees, R.P.J. (author)Compatibility of repair materials in conservation is a widely desired goal, but difficult to achieve. In this research, the compatibility of four commercial stone repair mortars, commonly used in conservation practice in the Netherlands and neighbouring countries, is discussed. In order to do so, they have been characterized in laboratory....journal article 2021

(author)Nonphotochemical laser-induced nucleation (NPLIN) is a promising primary nucleation control method, yet its underlying mechanism remains elusive. To contribute to the discussion on whether the polarization of laser irradiation in NPLIN experiments influences the polymorphic outcome, we revisit NPLIN experiments with aqueous glycine solutions...journal article 2021

(author)Background: l-Arabinose occurs at economically relevant levels in lignocellulosic hydrolysates. Its low-affinity uptake via the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Gal2 galactose transporter is inhibited by d-glucose. Especially at low concentrations of l-arabinose, uptake is an important rate-controlling step in the complete conversion of these...journal article 2018
