van IJzendoorn, Christa (author), Hallin, E.C. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), de Vries, S. (author)Grain size affects the rates of aeolian sediment transport on beaches. Sediment in coastal environments typically consists of multiple grain-size fractions and exhibits spatiotemporal variations. Still, conceptual and numerical aeolian transport models are simplified and often only include a single fraction that is constant over the model...journal article 2023

van Wiechen, P.P.J. (author), de Vries, S. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Dune erosion during storm surges can lead to excessive damage to the dune system with devastating floods as a potential consequence. A risk assessment of areas protected by dunes can be facilitated by an understanding and description of the physical processes that take place. Field measurements, knowledge of underlying processes and numerical...review 2023

Paulus, D. (author), de Vries, G. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Van de Walle, Bartel (author)The complex and uncertain environment of the humanitarian response to crises can lead to data bias, which can affect decision-making. Evidence of data bias in crisis information management (CIM) remains scattered despite its potentially significant impact on crisis response. To understand what biases emerge in complex crises and how they affect...journal article 2023

de Vries, J.W. (author), Sun, M. (author), de Groot, N.M.S. (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author)Estimating tissue conductivity parameters from electrograms (EGMs) could be an important tool for diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation (AF). One of these parameters is the fibre direction, often assumed to be known in conductivity estimation methods. In this paper, a novel method to estimate the fibre...conference paper 2023

He, S. (author), Qian, QK (author), de Vries, G. (author)In the built environment sector, enhancing energy efficiency through energy retrofitting is a key strategy to mitigate climate change. Despite the efforts made by local municipalities to offer technical and financial support, the rate of home energy retrofit remains low. The decision to undertake home energy retrofit is complex for homeowners....abstract 2023

Kácha, Ondřej (author), de Vries, G. (author)Public and private organisations have several instruments at hand to reduce consumer demand for energy. These instruments can take the form of information campaigns, various subsidy programs, or regulations to encourage consumers to adopt greener technology, develop energy-efficient habits or travel more sustainably. However, the well-intended...abstract 2023

(author)Plastic pollution in water bodies is an unresolved environmental issue that damages all aquatic environments, and causes economic and health problems. Accurate detection of macroplastic litter (plastic items >5 mm) in water is essential to estimate the quantities, compositions and sources, identify emerging trends, and design preventive...review 2023

de Vries, J.J. (author), Laan, Daphne M. (author), Frey, F.F.F. (author), Koenderink, G.H. (author), de Maat, Moniek P.M. (author)Fibrous networks are essential structural components of biological and engineered materials. Accordingly, many approaches have been developed to quantify their structural properties, which define their material properties. However, a comprehensive overview and comparison of methods is lacking. Therefore, we systematically searched for...journal article 2023

(author), Deng, Shanliang (author), den Ouden, B.L. (author), de Vries, Antoine A.F. (author), Pijnappels, Daniël A. (author)To unlock new research possibilities by acquiring control of action potential (AP) morphologies in excitable cells, we developed an opto-electronic feedback loop-based system integrating cellular electrophysiology, real-time computing, and optogenetic approaches and applied it to monolayers of heart muscle cells. This allowed accurate...journal article 2023

de Vries, Sietse (author)Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is the most used additive manufacturing technique that uses a heated nozzle to melt a polymer and a feeder to extrude it on a buildplate. The dependencies of temperature, shear-rate, viscosity and pressure of the melt create complex dynamics within the nozzle, which causes inconsistent extrusion. To improve...master thesis 2022

Paulus, D. (author), de Vries, G. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Van de Walle, Bartel (author)A crisis requires the affected population, governments or non-profit organizations, as well as crisis experts, to make urgent and sometimes life-critical decisions. With the urgency and uncertainty they create, crises are particularly amenable to inducing cognitive biases that influence decisionmaking. However, there is limited empirical...journal article 2022

de Vries, Caren (author)All investment firms in Europa must track the market quality of different exchanges and choose the best for their clients. Previous research has shown that a limit order book with additional market makers performs best in terms of market quality, followed by a pure limit order book and market maker. With the rise of cryptocurrencies, a new...master thesis 2022

de Vries, Diederik (author)Maastricht is located between two extremities. On the one hand, the center that seems to be frozen in a heritage policy that allows little flexibility. On the other hand, the suburbs where the change is so intense that time layers are constantly being wiped away and what remains seems generic. The site of this graduation project is located...master thesis 2022

de Vries, Joël (author)Single-Stage-To-Orbit (SSTO) launch vehicles are capable of reaching orbit while being potentially fully reusable. A technology capable of enabling SSTO access to space is the air-breathing engine, which has a high specific impulse and low thrust-over-weight (T/W) ratio compared to conventional rocket engines. This necessitates the use of a...master thesis 2022

de Vries, Roelof Jan (author)In the DST project, a deployable space telescope is designed for the thermal infrared spectrum. For this project, a new Systems Engineering (SE) approach was needed, since the SE was outdated and the project worked in silos. Important goals for the SE approach were that it was easy to use and minimizes the workload by automating as much as...master thesis 2022
