Hut, R.W. (author), Tyler, S. (author), Van Emmerik, T.H.M. (author)A prototype temperature-sensing pair of waders is introduced and tested. The water temperature at the streambed is interesting both for scientists studying the hyporheic zone and for, e.g., fishers spotting good fishing locations. A temperature sensor incorporated into waders worn by members of the public can give scientists an additional source...journal article 2016

Taskesen, E. (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author)The GTEx Consortium reported that hierarchical clustering of RNA profiles from 25 unique tissue types among 1641 individuals accurately distinguished the tissue types, but a multidimensional scaling failed to generate a 2D projection of the data that separates tissue-subtypes. In this study we show that a projection by t-Distributed Stochastic...journal article 2016

Laan, A.C. (author), Santini, C. (author), Jennings, L. (author), De Jong, M. (author), Bernsen, M.R. (author), Denkova, A.G. (author)Background Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is an indispensable tool in the determination of the in vivo fate of polymeric micelles. However, for this purpose, the micelles need to be radiolabeled, and almost all radiolabeling procedures published to date involve the conjugation of a chelating agent to the constituting polymer,...journal article 2016

Chimot, J.J. (author), Vlemmix, T. (author), Veefkind, j. Pepijn (author), de Haan, J.F (author), Levelt, Pieternel Felicitas (author)The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) has provided daily global measurements of tropospheric NO2 for more than a decade. Numerous studies have drawn attention to the complexities related to measurements of tropospheric NO2 in the presence of aerosols. Fine particles affect the OMI spectral measurements and the length of the average light path...journal article 2016

Lateral gas phase diffusion length of boron atoms over Si/B surfaces during CVD of pure boron layersMohammadi, V. (author), Nihtianov, S. (author)The lateral gas phase diffusion length of boron atoms, LB, along silicon and boron surfaces during chemical vapor deposition(CVD) using diborane (B2H6) is reported. The value of LB is critical for reliable and uniform boron layer coverage. The presented information was obtained experimentally and confirmed analytically in the...journal article 2016

Prest, E.I.E.D. (author), Hammes, F. (author), Van Loosdrecht, M.C.M. (author), Vrouwenvelder, J.S. (author)Biological stability of drinking water refers to the concept of providing consumers with drinking water of same microbial quality at the tap as produced at the water treatment facility. However, uncontrolled growth of bacteria can occur during distribution in water mains and premise plumbing, and can lead to hygienic (e.g., development of...journal article 2016

Ivashko, I.M. (author), Krasnov, O.A. (author), Yarovoy, A.G. (author)A sparsity-based approach for the joint optimization of the transmit and the receive nodes positions in the radar network with widely distributed antennas is proposed in this paper. The optimization problem is formulated as minimization of the number of radars that meet fixed target localization requirements over the surveillance area. We...journal article 2016

Burgelman, N. (author), Li, Z. (author), Dollevoet, R. (author)This paper investigates the effect of the calculation of the longitudinal location of a wheel rail contact point on the wheelset’s motion in a vehicle dynamic simulation. All current vehicle dynamic software programs assume that the contact between wheel and rail takes place in the vertical plane through the wheelset’s rolling axis. However,...journal article 2016

Shekhar, A. (author), Prasanth, V. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Bolech, M. (author)The economic viability of on-road wireless charging of electric vehicles (EVs) strongly depends on the choice of the inductive power transfer (IPT) system configuration (static or dynamic charging), charging power level and the percentage of road coverage of dynamic charging. In this paper, a case study is carried out to determine the expected...journal article 2016
