Dimova, Silvia (author), Polo López, Cristina S. (author), Sousa, Maria Luísa (author), Nogal Macho, M. (author), Gervásio, Helena (author)Concrete is clearly one of the most predominant-used material in both residential and non-residential structures across Europe (Peled and Fishman, 2021). A reinforced concrete (RC) structure is expected to satisfy criteria for serviceability, structural integrity, and stability over its designed operational lifespan, without significant loss of...book chapter 2024

Nogal Macho, M. (author)In addressing the impact of climate change on the corrosion of RC buildings, it is crucial to distinguish between two adaptation strategies. The first refers to measures integrated during the design phase for new structures. The second involves strategies implemented during the service phase to enhance the resilience of existing structures. This...book chapter 2024

Schrijvershof, Reinier (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), van der Wegen, Mick (author), Hoitink, Ton (author)The morphological configuration of estuaries and tidal basins influences future development because the channel-flat pattern and geometry control tidal dynamics and, as a result, residual sediment transport patterns. Large-scale human alteration of estuarine plan-form and channel dimensions, as a result of land reclamation, influences long-term...abstract 2024

Chen, Zhaowei (author), Wan, Fangshuang (author), He, C. (author)To maximize the use of urban land, many cities have built buildings above metro depots. However, the low-frequency vibration caused by metro operation affects the lives of surrounding residents, which seriously restricts the further development of over-track buildings. To study this problem, Firstly, the vibration of the metro depot and...journal article 2024

Skenderija, Jelena (author), Koulidis, K.A. (author), Sorgun, Mehmet (author), Ahmed, Shehab (author)In horizontal well operations, the prevalence of stuck pipe incidents is largely attributed to inadequate hole cleaning, underscoring the critical need for a thorough understanding of this process to mitigate non-productive time and financial losses. Increasing fluid velocity, the major drilling parameter of hole cleaning, diminishes the...journal article 2024

(author), Hindges, Robert (author), Meijer, D.H.M. (author)Neuronal network formation is facilitated by recognition between synaptic cell adhesion molecules at the cell surface. Alternative splicing of cell adhesion molecules provides additional specificity in forming neuronal connections. For the teneurin family of cell adhesion molecules, alternative splicing of the EGF-repeats and NHL domain...journal article 2024

Baidun, M.S. (author), Kalikadien, A.V. (author), Lefort, Laurent (author), Pidko, E.A. (author)Data-driven catalyst design is a promising approach for addressing the challenges in identifying suitable catalysts for synthetic transformations. Models with descriptor calculations relying solely on the precatalyst structure are potentially generalizable but may overlook catalyst-substrate interactions. This study explores substrate...journal article 2024

(author)Andreev spin qubits have recently emerged as an alternative qubit platform with realizations in semiconductor–superconductor hybrid nanowires. In these qubits, the spin degree of freedom of a quasiparticle trapped in a Josephson junction is intrinsically spin–orbit coupled to the supercurrent across the junction. This interaction has...journal article 2024

Wang, Zhimian (author), An, Kun (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Ma, Wanjing (author)Anticipating the forthcoming integration of shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) into urban networks, the imperative of devising an efficient real-time scheduling and routing strategy for these vehicles becomes evident if one is to maximize their potential in enhancing travel efficiency. In this study, we address the problem of jointly...journal article 2024

Kleinherenbrink, M. (author), López-Dekker, Paco (author), Nouguier, Frederic (author), Chapron, Bertrand (author)Earth Explorer 10 mission Harmony will consist of two satellites that fly in formation with Sentinel-1. It will operate as a multistatic radar in which Sentinel-1 transmits signals and all three satellites receive signals from different lines-of-sight. To prepare for Harmony and other possible future bistatic missions, transforms are derived...journal article 2024

(author)Floods are consistently ranked as the most financially devastating natural disasters worldwide. Recent flood events in the Netherlands, Caribbean, and US have drawn attention to flood risks resulting from pluvial and fluvial sources. Despite shared experiences with flooding, these regions employ distinct approaches and flood management...journal article 2024

Storm, J. (author), Rocha, I.B.C.M. (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author)Simulating the mechanical response of advanced materials can be done more accurately using concurrent multiscale models than with single-scale simulations. However, the computational costs stand in the way of the practical application of this approach. The costs originate from microscale Finite Element (FE) models that must be solved at every...journal article 2024

Gong, Zhengya (author), Gonçalves, M. (author), Nanjappan, Vijayakumar (author), Georgiev, Georgi V. (author)Previous studies have clearly established the impact of culture on design creativity. For example, the presence of cultural values with low uncertainty avoidance (UA, the degree of anxiety and risk aversion that people feel during ambiguous situations) is linked to low workability of creative ideas. Currently, there is limited research on...journal article 2024
