(author)Phenol conversion under saline thermophilic anaerobic conditions requires the development and sustenance of a highly specialized microbial community. In the present research, an anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) fed with an influent containing 0.5 g·L<sup>−1</sup> phenol and 6.5 gNa<sup>+</sup>·L<sup>−1</sup> was operated at 55 °C for 300...journal article 2022

Hulskemper, D. (author), Anders, K. (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author), Kuschnerus, M. (author), Höfle, B. (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author)The Earth's landscapes are shaped by processes eroding, transporting and depositing material over various timespans and spatial scales. To understand these surface activities and mitigate potential hazards they inflict (e.g., the landward movement of a shoreline), knowledge is needed on the occurrences and impact of these activities. Near...journal article 2022

Meinderts, J. P. (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), Van Der Heide, D. H. (author), Amiri Simkooei, A. (author), Truong-Hong, Linh (author)This paper introduces a method to automatically estimate vertical and horizontal clearances of highway viaducts and gantries from Mobile Laser Scanner (MLS) point clouds. It is essential to have accurate data on the vertical and horizontal clearances of overhead infrastructure objects along the highway. Accurate clearance data is used for...journal article 2022

Mazala, Diego (author), Esperança, Claudio (author), Marroquim, Ricardo (author)Designing realistic tridimensional facial models is a challenging task, not only due to the effort and artistic abilities required but also because human visual perception is very tuned to the processing of facial features. For this reason, rather than creating face models from scratch, artists usually start from a scanned model of a real...journal article 2022

(author), Yanina, Tamara A. (author)Quaternary Caspian Sea level variations depended on geophysical processes (affecting the opening and closing of gateways and basin size/shape) and hydro-climatological processes (affecting water balance). Disentangling the drivers of past Caspian Sea level variation, as well as the mechanisms by which they impacted the Caspian Sea level...journal article 2022

(author), van den Biggelaar, Maartje (author), Minetti, Giampaolo (author), Bogdanova, Anna (author), Mairbäurl, Heimo (author)Hypoxia is associated with increased erythropoietin (EPO) release to drive erythropoiesis. At high altitude, EPO levels first increase and then decrease, although erythropoiesis remains elevated at a stable level. The roles of hypoxia and related EPO adjustments are not fully understood, which has contributed to the formulation of the theory...journal article 2022

Xia, Yi (author), Langelaar, Matthijs (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author)Strut-and-Tie modelling (STM) has been widely applied to design D-regions of reinforced concrete structures. For economic and environmental reasons there is a need for optimized Strut-and-Tie models. How to optimize Strut-and-Tie models considering multiple load combinations has not been investigated extensively in the literature. In order to...journal article 2022

(author)Although tidal flats appear homogeneous from a distance, morphological variations are found on various spatial scales. These are driven by physical and/or biological processes. In this paper, we consider the creeks that are present on fringing tidal flats and which are orientated approximately perpendicular to the main channel. To explain why...journal article 2022

However, their effectiveness varies, and they often have only short-term effects. A possible way of enhancing their effectiveness is to increase the positive outcome expectations of users by giving them positive suggestions regarding the...journal article 2022

Romero, José Luis (author), van Velthoven, J.T. (author), Voigtlaender, Felix (author)We derive an extension of the Walnut–Daubechies criterion for the invertibility of frame operators. The criterion concerns general reproducing systems and Besov-type spaces. As an application, we conclude that L<sup>2</sup> frame expansions associated with smooth and fast-decaying reproducing systems on sufficiently fine lattices extend to...journal article 2022
