Liu, Z. (author), Schraven, D.F.J. (author), de Jong, Martin (author), Hertogh, M.J.C.M. (author)Rapid global urbanization, urban renewal and changes in people's lifestyles have led to both an increase in waste generation and more complex waste types. In response to these changes, many local governments have invested in municipal solid waste infrastructure (MSWI) to implement circular strategies. However, matching and bridging the costly...journal article 2023

Cutz, L. (author), Maldonado de León, H.A. (author), Zambrano, Gamaliel (author), Al-Naji, Majd (author), de Jong, W. (author)The oil palm industry has been under public scrutiny during the last decades due to environmental and social issues related to its practices. Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) trunks (OPTs) are of special interest as they are left idle in the field after the replanting process which is performed every 25 years. This common practice results...journal article 2023

(author)Ultrasound-based shear wave elastography is a promising technique to non-invasively assess the dynamic stiffness variations of the heart. The technique is based on tracking the propagation of acoustically induced shear waves in the myocardium of which the propagation speed is linked to tissue stiffness. This measurement is repeated multiple...journal article 2023

Zisopoulos, Filippos K. (author), Schraven, D.F.J. (author), de Jong, Martin (author)Considering its relatively low circularity rate (11.8% in 2019), the EU set several waste management targets as part of its roadmap to a circular economy yet the decision about which transition pathway to follow is not trivial. The maximization of circularity in human made systems is intended to function as a catalyst for this transition albeit...review 2022
