(author), Kennedy, M.D. (author), van der Meer, Walter (author)Although water produced by reverse osmosis (RO) filtration has low bacterial growth potential (BGP), post-treatment of RO permeate, which is necessary prior to distribution and human consumption, needs to be examined because of the potential re-introduction of nutrients/contaminants. In this study, drinking water produced from anaerobic...journal article 2020

Chen, L. (author), Ling, Fangqiong (author), Bakker, Geo (author), Liu, Wen Tso (author), Medema, G.J. (author), van der Meer, W.G.J. (author), Liu, G. (author)Worldwide, it is common that the drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) may be subjected to changes of supply water quality due to the needs of upgrading the treatment processes or switching the source water. However, the potential impacts of quality changed supply water on the stabilized ecological niches within DWDSs and the associated...journal article 2020

Wang, R. (author), Liu, Huanhuan (author), Antal, Bas (author), Wolterbeek, H.T. (author), Denkova, A.G. (author)The relatively high linear energy transfer of Auger electrons, which can cause clustered DNA damage and hence efficient cell death, makes Auger emitters excellent candidates for attacking metastasized tumors. Moreover, gammas or positrons are usually emitted along with the Auger electrons, providing the possibility of theragnostic...journal article 2024

Chen, L. (author), Li, Xuan (author), van der Meer, Walter (author), Medema, G.J. (author), Liu, G. (author)The aperiodic changes in the quantity and community of planktonic and particle-associated bacteria have hampered the understanding and management of microbiological water quality in drinking water distribution systems. In this study, online sampling was combined with the microbial fingerprint-based SourceTracker2 to capture and trace the...journal article 2022

Wang, R. (author), Ponsard, Bernard (author), Wolterbeek, H.T. (author), Denkova, A.G. (author)Background: Radionuclide therapy (RNT) has become a very important treatment modality for cancer nowadays. Comparing with other cancer treatment options, sufficient efficacy could be achieved in RNT with lower toxicity. β<sup>−</sup> emitters are frequently used in RNT due to the long tissue penetration depth of the β<sup>−</sup> particles....journal article 2022

(author)Combination of therapies is a common strategy in cancer treatment. Such combined therapies only have merit provided that there is superior therapeutic outcome with fewer side effects, compared to single therapies. Here, this work explores the possibility to combine chemotherapy with radionuclide therapy using polymeric micelles as a delivery...journal article 2023

Chen, L. (author), Zhai, Y. (author), van der Mark, Ed (author), Liu, G. (author), van der Meer, Walter (author), Medema, G.J. (author)Slow sand filters (SSFs) are widely applied to treat potable water; the removal of contaminants (e.g., particles, organic matter, and microorganism) occurs primarily in the top layer. However, the development of the microbial community and its metabolic function is still poorly understood. In the present study, we analyzed the microbial...journal article 2021

Ramousse, B.R. (author), Mendoza Lugo, M.A. (author), Rongen, G.W.F. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author)Constructing Bayesian networks (BN) for practical applications presents significant challenges, especially in domains with limited empirical data available. In such situations, field experts are often consulted to estimate the model’s parameters, for instance, rank correlations in Gaussian copula-based Bayesian networks (GCBN). Because there is...journal article 2024

Li, Jinmei (author), Zhang, Shuting (author), Guo, Lizheng (author), Chen, L. (author), Yu, Zhisheng (author)The generation and dissemination of antibiotic resistance bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment has become a critical risk to human health. This study is based on a pilot-scale simulated water distribution system to understand the effects of chlorine disinfection treatment (without free chlorine) on ARB and...journal article 2021

Maruhashi, J. (author), Mertens, M. (author), Grewe, V. (author), Dedoussi, I.C. (author)Flight altitude is relevant to the climate effects resulting from aircraft emissions. Other research has shown that flying higher within the troposphere leads to larger warming from O3 production. Aircraft NOx emissions are of particular interest, as they lead to warming via the short-term production of O3, but also to reduced warming via...journal article 2024

Wu, W. (author), Liu, Xinwang (author), Zhou, Ligang (author), Qin, Jindong (author), Rezaei, J. (author)Since the development of the best–worst method (BWM) in 2015, it has become a popular research focus in multi-criteria decision-making. The original optimization problem of the BWM is a nonlinear min–max model that can lead to multiple optimal solutions, while the linear model of the BWM produces a unique solution. The two models need to be...journal article 2024

Barendregt, Laura (author), Vaage, Nora S. (author)Speculative design is a subsidiary field of critical design practice. It generally involves developing scenarios based on a central object, often a prototype. Because it is concerned with alternative present and future states, many acknowledge the potential of speculative design for raising critical discussion and public engagement on science...journal article 2021

Quispe Haro, Juan José (author), Chen, Fei (author), Los, R. (author), Shi, Shuqi (author), Sun, Wenjun (author), Chen, Yong (author), Idema, T. (author), Wegner, Seraphine V. (author)The transition of bacteria from an individualistic to a biofilm lifestyle profoundly alters their biology. During biofilm development, the bacterial cell-cell adhesions are a major determinant of initial microcolonies, which serve as kernels for the subsequent microscopic and mesoscopic structure of the biofilm, and determine the resulting...journal article 2024

Zhou, F. (author), Giannakis, Iraklis (author), Giannopoulos, Antonios (author), Holliger, Klaus (author), Slob, E.C. (author)In oil drilling, mud filtrate penetrates into porous formations and alters the compositions and properties of the pore fluids. This disturbs the logging signals and brings errors to reservoir evaluation. Drilling and logging engineers therefore deem mud invasion as undesired and attempt to eliminate its adverse effects. However, the mud...journal article 2020
