Insuasty, Edwin (author), van den Hof, P.M.J. (author), Weiland, Siep (author), Jansen, J.D. (author)In reservoir engineering, it is attractive to characterize the difference between reservoir models in metrics that relate to the economic performance of the reservoir as well as to the underlying geological structure. In this paper, we develop a dissimilarity measure that is based on reservoir flow patterns under a particular operational...journal article 2017

Hrachowitz, M. (author), Clark, Martyn P. (author)In hydrology, two somewhat competing philosophies form the basis of most process-based models. At one endpoint of this continuum are detailed, high-resolution descriptions of small-scale processes that are numerically integrated to larger scales (e.g. catchments). At the other endpoint of the continuum are spatially lumped representations of...journal article 2017

Janssen, Annette B.G. (author), de Jager, Victor C.L. (author), Janse, Jan H. (author), Kong, Xiangzhen (author), Liu, S. (author), Ye, Qinghua (author), Mooij, Wolf M. (author)Ongoing eutrophication frequently causes toxic phytoplankton blooms. This induces huge worldwide challenges for drinking water quality, food security and public health. Of crucial importance in avoiding and reducing blooms is to determine the maximum nutrient load ecosystems can absorb, while remaining in a good ecological state. These so...journal article 2017

Rusca, Maria (author), Boakye-Ansah, Akosua Sarpong (author), Loftus, Alex (author), Ferrero, Giuliana (author), van der Zaag, P. (author)Urban political ecology attempts to unravel and politicize the socio-ecological processes that produce uneven waterscapes. At the core of this analysis are the choreographies of power that influence how much water flows through urban infrastructure as well as where it flows, thereby shaping conditions and quality of access in cities. If these...journal article 2017

Santos, Bruno F. (author), Wormer, M.M.E.C. (author), Achola, T.A.O. (author), Curran, R. (author)This paper deals with the Airline Delay Management Problem (ADMP), which can be described as the task of dealing with daily airline operational delays and deciding whether to delay subsequent flights at a hub airport or to have them departing on time. An innovative integer linear programming approach is presented to the capacitated case of...journal article 2017

Eherenfreund-Hager, Ahinoam (author), Taubman – Ben-Ari, Orit (author), Toledo, Tomer (author), Farah, H. (author)The study examined the influence of affect induction on actual risk-taking behavior in a driving simulator, as well as the links between personal variables (relevance of driving to self-esteem, sensation seeking) and the level of risky driving. Eighty young drivers aged 18–21 (M = 19.24, SD = 0.75) were randomly divided into four induction...journal article 2017

(author)In this work, we report a method to change the surface finish of a standard polyester-based powder coating paint, from gloss to matt, by depositing ultrathin films of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> on the powder coating particles. The coating experiments were performed in a fluidized bed reactor at 1 bar and 27 °C, using a gas-phase coating...journal article 2017

(author), Vrouwenvelder, J.S. (author)The porosity of spacer-filled feed channels influences the hydrodynamics of spiral-wound membrane systems and impacts the overall performance of the system. Therefore, an exact measurement and a detailed understanding of the impact of the feed channel porosity is required to understand and improve the hydrodynamics of spiral-wound membrane...journal article 2017

Xi, Z. (author), Urbach, Paul (author)It is generally believed that when a single metallic nanowire is sufficiently small, it scatters like a point electric dipole. We show theoretically when a metallic nanowire is placed inside specially designed beams, the magnetic dipole contribution along with the electric dipole resonance can lead to unidirectional scattering in the far field,...journal article 2017

Nane, G.F. (author), Larivière, Vincent (author), Costas, Rodrigo (author)The age of researchers is a critical factor necessary to study the bibliometric characteristics of the scholars that produce new knowledge. In bibliometric studies, the age of scientific authors is generally missing; however, the year of the first publication is frequently considered as a proxy of the age of researchers. In this article, we...journal article 2017

Yuan, K. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The capacity drop indicates that the queue discharge rate is lower than the free-flow capacity. Studies show that the queue discharge rate varies under different traffic conditions. Empirical data show that the queue discharge rate increases as the speed in congestion increases. Insights into the underlying behavioral mechanisms that cause...journal article 2017

(author), Vos, H.J. (author)The propagation velocity of shear waves relates to tissue stiffness. We prove that a regular clinical cardiac ultrasound system can determine shear wave velocity with a conventional unmodified tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) application. The investigation was performed on five tissue phantoms with different stiffness using a research platform...journal article 2017

Vu, M.N. (author), Broere, W. (author), Bosch, J.W. (author)Generally, studies on structural design for bored tunnels focus on moderate to deep tunnels (cover-to-diameter ratio C/D ≥ 2). Such tunnel design methods cannot be used for shallow-situated bored tunnels because the influence of buoyancy is discounted, and actual loads on the tunnel lining are not taken into account properly. This paper...journal article 2017

Gedik, E. (author), Hung, H.S. (author)We investigate the task of detecting speakers in crowded environments using a single body worn triaxial accelerometer. Detection of such behaviour is very challenging to model as people’s body movements during speech vary greatly. Similar to previous studies, by assuming that body movements are indicative of speech, we show experimentally, on...journal article 2017

(author), Brdjanovic, Damir (author)The concentration of sulphate present in wastewater can vary from 10 to 500 mg SO<sub>4</sub> <sup>2−</sup>/L. During anaerobic conditions, sulphate is reduced to sulphide by sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Sulphide generation is undesired in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Previous research indicated that SRB are inhibited by the...journal article 2017
