Rashidi, A. (author), Varkevisser, F. (author), Giagka, Vasiliki (author), Lopes Marta da Costa, T.M. (author), Serdijn, W.A. (author)Electrical stimulation is proven to be an effective way of neuromodulation in bioelectronic medicine (e.g. cochlear implants, deep brain stimulators, etc.), delivering localized treatment by the means of electrical pulses. To increase the stimulation efficiency and neural-type selectivity, there is an increasing interest to employ non...abstract 2023

Alcaraz, Mathilde (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Mosleh, Yasmine (author)Fibre metal laminates (FML) were originally developed as a hybrid material, to create synergy between the impact resistance of metals and excellent fatigue and corrosion resistance of fibre reinforced polymers, and to overcome the shortcomings of monolithic materials. Yet, the scope of the FML concept is predominantly limited to GLAss REinforced...abstract 2023

Sioli, A. (author), Cellucci, V.A. (author)Engaging the masterclass “Eau de Cologne/sour theater” that took place in a recent master-level studio-course of architecture, this paper examines the role of poetry in exploring the stories of a place and in building students’ capacity for storytelling. The masterclass, which lasted for ten days, is titled after a line from Tristan Tzara’s...abstract 2023

Dekemper, Emmanuel (author), Vanhamel, J. (author)The AOTF-based NO2 camera is a remote sensing instrument primarily aimed at imaging and quantifying the NO2 field above cities or in industrial plumes. The measurement principle consists in acquiring a number of spectral images of the scene at selected wavelengths. Each pixel is therefore recording a discrete spectrum of the radiance collected...abstract 2023

Dell'Orto, G. (author), Ballo, F.M. (author), Mastinu, G. (author), Happee, R. (author), Moore, J.K. (author)The use of bicycles as a cheap and healthy way to travel the “last mile” is spreading widely in the cities. This new way of dealing with short trips, known as “micro-mobility”, is also fostered by the new awareness of the global impact of ICE vehicles and rising fuel costs. In recent years, also cargo bikes are knowing a large use, both for...abstract 2023

Kamat, Ameya (author), Lubelli, B. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Crystallisation due to commonly occurring salts like sodium chloride (NaCl) is a known cause of damage in the built environment. Use of crystallisation inhibitors is a potential solution to reduce salt decay in building materials. Researchers have reported lower damage when sodium ferrocyanide (NaFeCN), a known NaCl crystallisation inhibitor, is...abstract 2023

Lubelli, B. (author)Salt weathering is one of the most recurrent damage processes affecting both the natural and the built environment. Due to the complexity of the process, numerical models are rarely applied in practice; accelerated weathering tests in laboratory are still the most common way to assess and forecast durability of (conservation and renovation)...abstract 2023

Hobeika, N. (author), Garcia Sanchez, C. (author), Bluyssen, P.M. (author)The corona pandemic underlined a lack of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and<br/>ventilation. Consequently, to limit the spread of the virus, researchers explored several indicators that, through different approaches, assess IAQ and ventilation performance in indoor spaces. This paper gives an overview of those indicators and assessment methods used to...abstract 2023

Hamida, A.B. (author), Eijkelenboom, A.M. (author), Bluyssen, P.M. (author)People are staying indoors for most of their time (on average 90%), where they are exposed to different environmental stimuli (e.g., noise, temperature) that are related to the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) factors (Bluyssen, 2020). Students in higher education spend substantial time at their study places (at home or educational buildings)...abstract 2023

Bluyssen, P.M. (author)Research has shown that, even though the indoor environmental conditions seem to comply with current guidelines and those conditions seem ‘comfortable’ enough, staying indoors is not good for our health. Reasons for this discrepancy might be the fact that these guidelines are based on single-dose response relationships to prevent negative...abstract 2023

Azevedo Vasconcelos, A.C. (author), Aragon, A.M. (author), Schott, D.L. (author), Jovanova, J. (author)Elastic metamaterials have been mostly designed to control structural vibration for a specific frequency range. However, the stresses developed due to the wave propagation are not commonly consider in their design phase. This work proposes a multi-objective design optimization of a metamaterial-based interface to tune its dynamic characteristics...abstract 2023

Meijers, P.C. (author), Atzampou, P. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)An experiment has been performed on a magnetic pendulum, which interacts with an electromagnet. The free non-linear vibrations of the pendulum-magnet system are studied to identify and analyse the system’s characteristics. Due to the presence of the electromagnet, a modulation of the pendulum’s natural frequency is observed. A mathematical model...abstract 2023
