Wu, Y. (author), Liu, Daoyin (author), van Wachem, Berend G.M. (author), van Ommen, J.R. (author)Nanoparticles are usually fluidized as agglomerates, which are in dynamic states of agglomeration and fragmentation. It is critical to consider the size distribution of agglomerates in modeling of the fluidization of nanoparticle agglomerates. In this article, the fluidization behavior of nanoparticle agglomerates is investigated using a two...journal article 2024

Koutamanis, A. (author)Planning regulations determine a substantial part of buildings, but their constraints are usually not included in the setup of a BIM model or used explicitly for design guidance, but only tested in compliance checks once a model has been made. This is symptomatic of wider tendencies and ingrained biases that emphasize tacit knowledge and assume...journal article 2024

Wilcox, A.Y. (author), Mota, Nelson (author), Haffner, M.E.A. (author), Elsinga, M.G. (author)The South African Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) was initiated to provide subsidised housing for low‐income families. However, the programme faced challenges in establishing adequate technical guidelines and standards, resulting in subpar housing quality. This article discusses the multifaceted nature of subsidised housing design...journal article 2024
