Lucassen, Desiree A. (author), Lasschuijt, Marlou P. (author), Camps, Guido (author), Van Loo, Ellen J. (author), Fischer, Arnout R.H. (author), de Vries, Roelof A.J. (author), Haarman, Juliet A.M. (author), Simons, Monique (author), Bos-de Vos, M. (author)Overweight, obesity and cardiometabolic diseases are major global health concerns. Lifestyle factors, including diet, have been acknowledged to play a key role in the solution of these health risks. However, as shown by numerous studies, and in clinical practice, it is extremely challenging to quantify dietary behaviors as well as influencing...journal article 2021

van Zelst, Vincent T.M. (author), Dijkstra, Jasper T. (author), van Wesenbeeck, B (author), Eilander, Dirk (author), Morris, Edward P. (author), Winsemius, H.C. (author), Ward, Philip J. (author), de Vries, M.B. (author)Exposure to coastal flooding is increasing due to growing population and economic activity. These developments go hand-in-hand with a loss and deterioration of ecosystems. Ironically, these ecosystems can play a buffering role in reducing flood hazard. The ability of ecosystems to contribute to reducing coastal flooding has been emphasized in...journal article 2021

Janssens, M. (author), de Vries, I. E. (author), Hulshoff, S.J. (author)Temporary stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) using sulphate compounds could help to mitigate some of the adverse and irreversible impacts of global warming. Among the risks and uncertainties of SAI, the development of a delivery system presents an appreciable technical challenge. Early studies indicate that specialised aircraft appear the...journal article 2020

Turşucu, S. (author), Spandaw, J.G. (author), de Vries, M.J. (author)Mathematics is of major importance in science subjects. Unfortunately, students struggle with applying mathematics in science subjects, especially physics. In this qualitative study we demonstrate that transfer of algebraic skills from mathematics in physics class can be improved by using pre-knowledge effectively. We designed shift-problems...journal article 2020

Biomimicry design thinking education: a base-line exercise in preconceptions of biological analogiesStevens, L.L. (author), Kopnina, Helen (author), Mulder, K.F. (author), de Vries, M.J. (author)Preliminary empirical research conducted by the leading author has shown that design students using biological analogies, or models across different contexts, often misinterpreted these, intentionally or unintentionally, during design. By copying shape or form without integrating the main function of the mimicked biological model, students...journal article 2020

Roël-Looijenga, A. (author), Klapwijk, R.M. (author), de Vries, M.J. (author)During a Design and Technology class, engagement is both required to start creative hands-on work and a sign of pupil’s creative thinking. To find ways to achieve engagement, we can look to the Montessori tradition. Due to the fact that learning is regarded as feeding insight through experimenting, tasks have to offer pupils the opportunity to...journal article 2020

(author), Brinkman, Alexander (author), van der Wiel, Wilfred G. (author), Bakkers, E.P.A.M. (author), Zwanenburg, Floris A. (author)We show a hard superconducting gap in a Ge-Si nanowire Josephson transistor up to in-plane magnetic fields of 250 mT, an important step toward creating and detecting Majorana zero modes in this system. A hard gap requires a highly homogeneous tunneling heterointerface between the superconducting contacts and the semiconducting nanowire. This...journal article 2020

Stammes, J.K. (author), Henze, Ineke (author), Barendsen, E. (author), de Vries, M.J. (author)Bringing design practices to chemistry education is gaining interest with recent science curriculum reforms emphasising design, and calls for integrated STEM education. Design is a central practice in the chemistry discipline, and could foster meaningful chemistry education. Although chemistry teachers are key in bringing design to chemistry...journal article 2020

Duivenvoorden, R.R. (author), Voskuijl, M. (author), Morée, Lars (author), de Vries, J. (author), van der Veen, Finbar (author)The use of formation flight to achieve aerodynamic benefit as applied to rotorcraft is, unlike its fixed-wing counterpart, an unproven principle. This document presents a proof-of-concept of rotorcraft formation flight through a numerical research study, supported by results from an independent wind-tunnel experiment. In both cases, two...journal article 2020

de Vries, M.J. (author)In this article, the morality in the “wickedness” of design problems as wicked problems is explored. I will use for that purpose the characteristics of wicked problems as identified by Horst Rittel and Melvin Webber. These characteristics suggest interdisciplinary thinking for solving such problems. An awareness of the wicked nature of design...journal article 2020

Schut, A. (author), van Mechelen, M.P.P. (author), Klapwijk, R.M. (author), Gielen, M.A. (author), de Vries, M.J. (author)Design feedback is an essential pedagogical tool that can help young novice designers navigate divergent and convergent paths while designing. However, design feedback is often met with resistance, which counteracts its potential to help novice designers evaluate their design and generate new solution directions. In this paper, we report on...journal article 2020

(author)Sea-level rise (SLR) can amplify the episodic erosion from storms and drive chronic erosion on sandy shorelines, threatening many coastal communities. One of the major uncertainties in SLR projections is the potential rapid disintegration of large fractions of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS). Quantifying this uncertainty is essential to support...journal article 2020
