Vandebroek, Elena (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), van Leijen, F.J. (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), de Vries, S. (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author)This paper presents a semi-automated approach to detecting coastal shoreline change with high spatial- and temporal-resolution using X-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. The method was applied at the Sand Motor, a “mega-scale” beach nourishment project in the Netherlands. Natural processes, like waves, wind, and tides, gradually...journal article 2017

Bos, R.A. (author), Plettenburg, D.H. (author)The addition of a cosmetic glove to an upper limb prosthesis has a distinct effect on the cosmetic value, but its viscoelastic behaviour adds a substantial amount of stiffness and hysteresis to the system. As a result, the overall usability of the prosthesis is degraded. A novel negative stiffness element is designed to compensate for the...journal article 2017

Scholtissek, Anika (author), Tischler, Dirk (author), Westphal, Adrie H. (author), van Berkel, Willem J.H. (author), Paul, C.E. (author)Asymmetric hydrogenation of activated alkenes catalysed by ene-reductases from the old yellow enzyme family (OYEs) leading to chiral products is of potential interest for industrial processes. OYEs’ dependency on the pyridine nucleotide coenzyme can be circumvented through established artificial hydride donors such as nicotinamide coenzyme...journal article 2017

Alfano, M.R. (author), Iurino, Kathryn (author), Stey, Paul (author), Robinson, Brian (author), Christen, Markus (author), Yu, Feng (author), Lapsley, Daniel (author)This paper presents five studies on the development and validation of a scale of intellectual humility. This scale captures cognitive, affective, behavioral, and motivational components of the construct that have been identified by various philosophers in their conceptual analyses of intellectual humility. We find that intellectual humility has...journal article 2017

van den Berg, E.M. (author), Perdigão Elisiário, M. (author), Kuenen, J.G. (author), Kleerebezem, R. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author)Denitrification and dissimilatory reduction to ammonium (DNRA) are competing nitrate-reduction processes that entail important biogeochemical consequences for nitrogen retention/removal in natural and man-made ecosystems. The nature of the available carbon source and electron donor have been suggested to play an important role on the outcome of...journal article 2017

Yang, Y. (author), Guliyev, Bekir (author), Schouten, A.C. (author)Mechanical perturbations applied to the wrist joint typically evoke a stereotypical sequence of cortical and muscle responses. The early cortical responses (<100 ms) are thought be involved in the “rapid” transcortical reaction to the perturbation while the late cortical responses (>100 ms) are related to the “slow” transcortical reaction....journal article 2017

Eftekhari, A.A. (author), Farajzadeh, R. (author)We investigate the validity of the assumption that foam in porous media reduces the mobility of gas phase only and does not impact the liquid-phase mobility. The foam is generated by simultaneous injection of nitrogen gas and a surfactant solution into sandstone cores and its strength is varied by changing surfactant type and concentration. We...journal article 2017

Sereeter, B. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author), Witteveen, C. (author)Two mismatch functions (power or current) and three coordinates (polar, Cartesian andcomplex form) result in six versions of the Newton–Raphson method for the solution of powerflow problems. In this paper, five new versions of the Newton power flow method developed forsingle-phase problems in our previous paper are extended to three-phase power...journal article 2017

Lepot, M.J. (author), Aubin, Jean Baptiste (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)A thorough review has been performed on interpolation methods to fill gaps in time-series, efficiency criteria, and uncertainty quantifications. On one hand, there are numerous available methods: interpolation, regression, autoregressive, machine learning methods, etc. On the other hand, there are many methods and criteria to estimate...journal article 2017

Mitic, S. (author), Strampraad, M.J.F. (author), Hagen, W.R. (author), de Vries, S. (author)To afford mechanistic studies in enzyme kinetics and protein folding in the microsecond time domain we have developed a continuous-flow microsecond time-scale mixing instrument with an unprecedented dead-time of 3.8 ± 0.3 μs. The instrument employs a micro-mixer with a mixing time of 2.7 μs integrated with a 30 mm long flow-cell of 109 μm...journal article 2017

Pargar, F. (author), Koleva, D.A. (author), van Breugel, K. (author)This paper reports on the advantages and drawbacks of available test methods for the determination of chloride content in cementitious materials in general, and the application of Ag/AgCl chloride sensors in particular. The main factors that affect the reliability of a chloride sensor are presented. The thermodynamic behaviour of silver in the...journal article 2017

Körmann, F.H.W. (author), Ikeda, Yuji (author), Grabowski, Blazej (author), Sluiter, M.H.F. (author)Refractory high entropy alloys feature outstanding properties making them a promising materials class for next-generation high-temperature applications. At high temperatures, materials properties are strongly affected by lattice vibrations (phonons). Phonons critically influence thermal stability, thermodynamic and elastic properties, as well as...journal article 2017

Mirzaali, Mohammad J. (author), Habibi, M. (author), Janbaz, S. (author), Vergani, L. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Crumpled-based materials are relatively easy to fabricate and show robust mechanical properties for practical applications, including meta-biomaterials design aimed for improved tissue regeneration. For such requests, however, the structure needs to be porous. We introduce a crumpled holey thin sheet as a robust bio-metamaterial and measure...journal article 2017

Märtens, M. (author), Meier, J.M. (author), Hillebrand, Arjan (author), Tewarie, Prejaas (author), Van Mieghem, P.F.A. (author)Recent work has revealed frequency-dependent global patterns of information flow by a network analysis of magnetoencephalography data of the human brain. However, it is unknown which properties on a small subgraph-scale of those functional brain networks are dominant at different frequencies bands. Motifs are the building blocks of networks on...journal article 2017

(author)Background: Closed loop system identification (CLSIT) is a method to disentangle the contribution of underlying systems in standing balance. We investigated whether taking into account lower leg muscle activation in CLSIT could improve the reliability and accuracy of estimated parameters identifying the underlying systems. Methods: Standing...journal article 2017

Laan, A.C. (author), Denkova, A.G. (author)This letter is meant to make scientists aware of the proper application of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for the assessment of polymeric self-assemblies. Cryogenic (cryo)-TEM should be the method of choice. Here, we show the difference in morphologies observed in the same sample when using cryo-TEM and when using TEM with drying,...journal article 2017

van de Ruit, M.L. (author), Grey, Michael J. (author)Both motor imagery and mirror training have been used in motor rehabilitation settings to promote skill learning and plasticity. As motor imagery and mirror training are suggested to be closely linked, it was hypothesized that mirror training augmented by motor imagery would increase corticospinal excitability (CSE) significantly compared to...journal article 2017
