(author)Application of biochar to landfill cover soils can purportedly improve methane (CH4) oxidation rates, but understanding the combined effects of soil texture, compaction, and biochar on the activity and composition of the methanotrophs is limited. The amendment of wood biochar on two differently textured landfill cover soils at three compaction...journal article 2023

Caenen, Annette (author), Keijzer, Lana (author), Bézy, Stéphanie (author), Duchenne, Jürgen (author), Orlowska, Marta (author), van der Steen, A.F.W. (author), de Jong, N. (author), Bosch, Johan G. (author), Voigt, Jens Uwe (author), D’hooge, Jan (author), Vos, H.J. (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

A multibody kinematic system approach for the design of shape-morphing mechanism-based metamaterialsde Jong, P.H. (author), Schwab, A.L. (author), Mirzaali, Mohammad J. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Shape-morphing structures have the ability to adapt to various target shapes, offering significant advantages for many applications. However, predicting their behavior presents challenges. Here, we present a method to assess the shape-matching behavior of shape-morphing structures using a multibody systems approach wherein the structure is...journal article 2023

de Jong, M.H.J. (author)This thesis comprises several experiments involving silicon nitride trampoline membranes. These membranes are excellent mechanical resonators and can be fabricated with desirable optical properties. Their dynamical behavior, particularly the interaction of their mechanical motion with light, is of interest for optomechanics and sensing...doctoral thesis 2022

de Jong, Alex (author)In the effort against climate change the company ZEF has as its target to make methanol (CH3OH) out of atmospheric CO2; a process which can be seen as power-to-fuel and/or power-to-x. In light of the developmental cycle within ZEF a new reactor with an increased size and enhanced mass manufacturability is required. The...master thesis 2022

de Jong, Arnoud (author)The impact of delays and disturbances in railway traffic can be mitigated by advanced rail traffic rescheduling models (RTRMs) which make use of mathematical optimization models. In the past several researches have been carried out on the effectiveness of an RTRM in reducing delay and improving punctuality. However, in most of these researches...master thesis 2022

de Jong, Sterre (author)While lives are saved through the use of medical devices; they have a significant negative impact on the environment. In particular single-use medical devices make up a large part of the healthcare sector’s negative environmental impact as they contribute significantly to generating more medical waste and greenhouse gas emissions. Approximately...master thesis 2022

de Jong, Jasmijn (author)Operational optimization of vessels is valuable for the planning and execution of maritime operations. Accurate and efficient models to predict vessel motions are needed to make reliable operational decisions. The wave-induced vessel response can be modelled in terms of a Response Amplitude Operator (RAO) and a wave spectrum. Uncertainties...master thesis 2022

de Jong, Kees (author)Shape changing active metamaterial could form the structural backbone of an object as well as deliver the actuation. The integration of these two functions saves design space and allows for creative topologies. The literature study of this thesis investigated smart material actuator solutions that could be used to enable such active...master thesis 2022

de Jong, Gijs (author)Automatically deriving 3D representations of buildings is a challenging problem which is at the base of a wide range of applications. The DE-RISC project aims to generate a 3D model of the entire city of Rotterdam in The Netherlands, enabling many of these applications. Generating a 3D model of a building can be done in a variety of ways, of...master thesis 2022

de Jong, Olivier (author)In contrast to traditional power cables for bottom-founded offshore wind turbines, power cables for floating wind turbines penetrate the water column and are exposed to cyclic loading. Due to the dynamic nature of the cable loading, the cables are prone to fatigue failure. Since the evaluation of the fatigue life of complex structures, like...master thesis 2022

de Jong, Jan (author)Functional ultrasound is by now a well-established technique in the neuroscience community to measure brain activity. However, the transcranial application of functional ultrasound on humans, with the exception of the acoustic windows in the skull, remains a huge challenge because of the properties of the cranial bone the acoustic waves will...master thesis 2022

de Jong, Bart (author)Switching max-plus linear (SMPL) systems written in max-plus algebra form a robust framework to model discrete-event systems governed by synchronisation whose behaviour may switch over time. Their evolution is described by a max-plus linear state-space representation that may change by switching modes. In their typical form, switching may depend...master thesis 2022

de Jong, Victor (author)Applications on Android phones which block spam calls could be argued a necessity for people unfortunate enough to have their number on spam lists. Third-party applications provide exten- sive, up-to-date blocklists to screen incoming calls. This paper analyses and describes how these types of applications store and access their data. First we...bachelor thesis 2022

de Jong, Michiel (author)In the modern world, evacuating a building in a safe and orderly manner remains a challenge. Fire-based emergencies in a building are dynamic environments that can be simulated to better understand, analyse, and contribute to safer and smarter buildings. While different spatial representations exist, <i>voxels</i> provide a structured, flexible...master thesis 2022

de Jong, Miranda (author)Munition articles may be sensitive to case-crushing loading. This is a potential safety hazard since it may lead to accidental detonation. A better understanding of the mechanism causing the munition articles to react can help improve safety. A finite element model combined with post-processing is used to model a Steven test. This thesis...master thesis 2022
