Lussenburg, K.M. (author), Scali, Marta (author), Stolk, Maarten (author), Robijns, D. (author), Sakes, A. (author), Breedveld, P. (author)A vitrectome is a commonly used instrument in eye surgery, which is used to cut and aspirate the vitreous body out of the eye. The mechanism of the vitrectome consists of miniature components that need to be assembled by hand due to their size. Non-assembly 3D printing, in which fully functional mechanisms can be produced in a single production...journal article 2023

Hashemi Kashani, S. Mahdi (author), Pazhouhanfar, Mahdieh (author), van Oel, C.J. (author)Complexity has been known as a crucial psychological factor influencing the evaluation of the building facades preferences. However, little is known about the role of physical attributes of preferred building facades on perceived visual complexity. The objective of this study is to assess perceived visual complexity of urban building facades...journal article 2023

Pol, J.C. (author)The Shields–Darcy (SD) model by Hoffmans and Van Rijn (Citation2018) describes the resistance of hydraulic structures to backward erosion piping, which is a form of internal erosion. In the article being discussed, Hoffmans compares the SD model to the model by Sellmeijer et al. (Citation2011), focusing on field scales. This Discussion presents...journal article 2023

Niessen, S.E.M. (author), Groot, K.J. (author), Hickel, S. (author), Terrapon, Vincent E. (author)Linear stability analyses are performed to study the dynamics of linear convective instability mechanisms in a laminar shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction at Mach 1.7. In order to account for all two-dimensional gradients elliptically, we introduce perturbations into an initial-value problem that are found as solutions to an eigenvalue...journal article 2023

Olindo, Roberta (author), Schmitt, Nathalie (author), Vogtländer, J.G. (author)LCAs of electric cars and electrolytic hydrogen production are governed by the consumption of electricity. Therefore, LCA benchmarking is prone to choices on electricity data. There are four issues: (1) leading Life Cycle Impact (LCI) databases suffer from inconvenient uncertainties and inaccuracies, (2) electricity mix in countries is...journal article 2021

de Boer, Bas (author), Strasser, C. (author), Mulder, S.S. (author)Medicine is increasingly focusing on the prevention of diseases. The digital twin (DT) is considered to be an important technological development for realizing this transition. Broadly speaking, a DT is an in silico representation of an individual that dynamically reflects molecular and physiological status, which makes it possible to monitor...journal article 2022

van IJsseldijk, J.E. (author), van der Neut, J.R. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Geophysical monitoring of subsurface reservoirs relies on detecting small changes in the seismic response between a baseline and monitor study. However, internal multiples, related to the over- and underburden, can obstruct the view of the target response, hence complicating the time-lapse analysis. To retrieve a response that is free from...journal article 2023
