Sinnige, T. (author), de Vries, R. (author), della Corte, B. (author), Avallone, F. (author), Ragni, D. (author), Eitelberg, G. (author), Veldhuis, L.L.M. (author)An experimental analysis was performed of the unsteady aerodynamic loading caused by the impingement of a propeller slipstream on a downstream lifting surface. When installed on an aircraft, this unsteady loading results in vibrations that are transmitted to the fuselage and are perceived inside the cabin as structure-borne noise. A pylon...journal article 2018

Poquet, Oleksandra (author), Kovanović, Vitomir (author), de Vries, P. (author), Hennis, Thieme (author), Joksimović, Srećko (author), Gašević, Dragan (author), Dawson, Shane (author)The capacity to foster interpersonal interactions in massive open online courses (MOOCs) has frequently been contested, particularly when learner interactions are limited to MOOC forums. The establishment of social presence-a perceived sense of somebody being present and "real"-is among the strategies to tackle the challenges of online...journal article 2018

Huizer, Sebastian (author), Radermacher, M. (author), de Vries, S. (author), Oude Essink, Gualbert H.P. (author), Bierkens, Marc F.P. (author)For a large beach nourishment called the Sand Engine – constructed in 2011 at the Dutch coast – we have examined the impact of coastal forcing (i.e. natural processes that drive coastal hydro- and morphodynamics) and groundwater<br/>recharge on the growth of a fresh groundwater lens between 2011 and 2016.

Do, T.K.A. (author), de Vries, S. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)Cua Dai Inlet is a typical, seasonally varying tidal inlet in central Vietnam. Since 1995 the northern adjacent coast, known as Cua Dai Beach, has experienced serious erosion. The decadal scale behavior of this inlet appears to reflect a nonperiodic cyclic process. Inlet channel shifting from north to south has welded the abandoned ebb-tidal...journal article 2018

de Vries, S. (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), Roest, Lambertus W.M. (author), Luijendijk, Arjen (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Feeder nourishments, where sand quantities of O (10 million m³) are placed locally to feed adjacent coastal stretches, are suggested nowadays as an alternative for local, smaller-scale nourishments (< 1 million m³). These feeder nourishments rely on natural forces to spread the sediment. While processes that govern this spreading such as...journal article 2018

Athanasiou, Panagiotis (author), de Boer, W.P. (author), Tonnon, Pieter Koen (author), Yoo, Jeseon (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), de Vries, S. (author), Ranasinghe, Roshanka (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author)Nearshore sandbar patterns can affect the hydrodynamics and, as a result, the beach morphodynamics in the nearshore zone. Hence, spatial and temporal variability in the sandbars can influence beach accretion and erosion. Understanding the variability of the sandbar system can therefore be crucial for informed coastal zone management. So far, the...journal article 2018

(author)Steel-to-glass laminated connections, which have recently been developed, limit stress intensifications on the glass and combine strength and transparency. Transparent Structural Silicone Adhesive (TSSA) connections have been used in several projects worldwide; however, the hyperelastic and viscoelastic nature of the material has to date not...journal article 2018

(author)The feasibility of upscaling the perovskite solar cells technologies to high volume production using roll-to-roll (R2R) slot die coating is demonstrated in this study. Perovskite solar cells are produced by R2R slot die coating on flexible substrates with a width of 30 cm and the web speed of 3–5 m min−1. R2R deposition of the electron transport...journal article 2018

Zarghami-Hamrah, Saeid (author), de Vries, M.J. (author)In the present study, we refer to Carr's theory on the nature of educational practice for evaluating teaching as a praxis in relation to two major changes, i.e. ubiquitous learning and massive communication caused by MOOCs. With regard to the first change, we argue that the teacher is faced with the problem of encouraging the learners to get...journal article 2018

(author), Vinent, Orencio Durán (author), Ruggiero, Peter (author)Coastal landscape change represents aggregated sediment transport gradients from spatially and temporally variable marine and aeolian forces. Numerous tools exist that independently simulate subaqueous and subaerial coastal profile change in response to these physical forces on a range of time scales. In this capacity, coastal foredunes have...journal article 2019
