Boekee, J. (author), Dai, Y. (author), Schilperoort, B. (author), van de Wiel, B.J.H. (author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author)To mitigate spring frost damage, fruit farmers use wind machines to mix warm overlying air down to the vegetation. Up to this point, studies on wind machine efficiency have focused on air temperatures. The temperature of different plant organs during operation remains unknown, while critical for the actual degree of frost damage. With...journal article 2023

(author)Sentinel-1 observes the whole globe every 12 days (6 days when both satellites were operational) and provides a wealth of data relevant to agriculture. Sugarcane cultivators could potentially benefit from these data by using them to assist operational and management practices. However, first, thorough understanding is needed of Sentinel-1...journal article 2023

Kruisdijk, E. (author), Ros, Julian F. (author), Ghosh, D. (author), Brehme, M. (author), Stuyfzand, Pieter Jan (author), van Breukelen, B.M. (author)Well clogging was studied at an aquifer storage transfer and recovery (ASTR) site used to secure freshwater supply for a flower bulb farm. Tile drainage water (TDW) was collected from a 10-ha parcel, stored in a sandy brackish coastal aquifer via well injection in wet periods, and reused during dry periods. This ASTR application has been...journal article 2023

Kruisdijk, E. (author), Eisfeld, R.C.M. (author), Stuyfzand, Pieter Jan (author), van Breukelen, B.M. (author)An aquifer storage transfer and recovery (ASTR) system was studied in which tile drainage water (TDW) was injected with relatively high NO<sub>3</sub> (about 14 mg/L) concentrations originating from fertilizers. Here we present the evolution of denitrification kinetics at 6 different depths in the aquifer before, and during ASTR operation....journal article 2022

Pouran, Hamid (author), Padilha Campos Lopes, Mariana (author), Ziar, H. (author), Alves Castelo Branco, David (author), Sheng, Yong (author)Vietnam's promising economic growth has led to energy shortage, growing coal imports, and increasing carbon emissions. The country's electricity demand annual growth rate has been 12% in recent years and is projected to be 8–9% by 2030. In Vietnam 40% of the land is dedicated to agriculture and thousands of inland water bodies are used for...journal article 2022

Dai, Pengwen (author), Li, Y. (author), Zhang, Hua (author), Li, Jingzhi (author), Cao, Xiaochun (author)Scene text detection has attracted increasing concerns with the rapid development of deep neural networks in recent years. However, existing scene text detectors may overfit on the public datasets due to the limited training data, or generate inaccurate localization for arbitrary-shape scene texts. This paper presents an arbitrary-shape scene...journal article 2021

Reactive transport modelling of push-pull tests: A versatile approach to quantify aquifer reactivityKruisdijk, E. (author), van Breukelen, B.M. (author)Push-pull tests (PPTs) were evaluated with 1-D radially axisymmetric multi-component geochemical reactive transport modelling (RTM) to assess aquifer reactivity controlling groundwater quality. Nutrient fate and redox processes were investigated in an Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) system, in which oxic tile drainage water (TDW; nitrate ...journal article 2021
