Egberts, G. (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author), van Zuijlen, Paul (author)Severe burn injuries often lead to skin contraction, leading to stresses in and around the damaged skin region. If this contraction leads to impaired joint mobility, one speaks of contracture. To optimize treatment, a mathematical model, that is based on finite element methods, is developed. Since the finite element-based simulation of skin...journal article 2023

Vermeer, C.M. (author), Depaz, Lena (author), van den Berg, Emily (author), Koelmans, Tom (author), Kleerebezem, R. (author)Medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate (mcl-PHA) production by using microbial enrichments is a promising but largely unexplored approach to obtain elastomeric biomaterials from secondary resources. In this study, several enrichment strategies were tested to select a community with a high mcl-PHA storage capacity when feeding octanoate. On...journal article 2022

Stecca, M. (author), Tan, Changyu (author), Xu, J. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Palensky, P. (author)In this article, a hybrid Si/Si carbide (SiC) switch (HyS) modulation with minimum SiC MOSFET conduction (mcHyS) is experimentally characterized, so as to derive its conduction and switching performance. These are later used to derive a silicon (Si) area analytical model for the HyS configuration. The chip area model is used to benchmark the...journal article 2022

(author), Varesche, Maria B.A. (author)Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) is increasingly considered as a potential source for bioenergy or bulk chemicals production. However, efficient pretreatment techniques need to be developed to make full use of its potential. A central composite design was employed to evaluate the effect of temperature (146.4–213.6 °C), NaOH concentration (0.7–2.3 M)...journal article 2022

(author), Maletinsky, P. (author)The prediction of measurement outcomes from an underlying structure often follows directly from fundamental physical principles. However, a fundamental challenge is posed when trying to solve the inverse problem of inferring the underlying source configuration based on measurement data. A key difficulty arises from the fact that such...journal article 2022

Lv, Maolong (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Cao, Jinde (author), Baldi, S. (author)Practical tracking results have been reported in the literature for high-order odd-rational-power nonlinear dynamics (a chain of integrators whose power is the ratio of odd integers). Asymptotic tracking remains an open problem for such dynamics. This note gives a positive answer to this problem in the framework of prescribed performance...journal article 2023
