Siddiqi, M.A. (author), Serdijn, W.A. (author), Strydis, C. (author)The wireless capabilities of modern Implantable Medical Devices (IMDs) make them vulnerable to security attacks. One prominent attack, which has disastrous consequences for the patient’s wellbeing, is the battery Denial-of-Service attack whereby the IMD is occupied with continuous authentication requests from an adversary with the aim of...journal article 2020

(author), Neugebauer, Jörg (author), Raabe, Dierk (author)We reveal the impact of magnetic ordering on stacking fault energy (SFE) and its influence on the deformation mechanisms and mechanical properties in a class of nonequiatomic quinary Mn-containing compositional complex alloys or high entropy alloys (HEAs). By combining ab initio simulation and experimental validation, we demonstrate magnetic...journal article 2020

Zegeling, André (author), Kooij, Robert (author)We study the occurrence of limit cyles in a model for two-species predator-prey interaction (referred to as Holling I). This model is based on the phenomenological fitting of the so-called functional response function to observed data in nature by a continuous, piecewise differentiable function. Of the original models presented by Holling it...journal article 2020

Saeedifar, M. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author)Damage characterization of laminated composites has been thoroughly studied the last decades where researchers developed several damage models, and in combination with experimental evidence, contributed to better understanding of the structural behavior of these structures. Experimental techniques played an essential role on this progress and...review 2020

(author), Tao, Jian feng (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Gong, Zheng (author)China's continuous and rapid economic growth has led to the reclamation of large sections of the intertidal mud coast in combination with port construction, such as that of the proposed Tongzhou Bay port on the Jiangsu coast. These reclamations threaten the local ecosystem services. An ecotope distribution map was created and a hydrodynamic...journal article 2020

Fari, S. (author), Wang, X. (author), Roy, S. (author), Baldi, S. (author)The actual performance of model-based path-following methods for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) shows considerable dependence on the wind knowledge and on the fidelity of the dynamic model used for design. This study analyzes and demonstrates the performance of an adaptive vector field (VF) control law which can compensate for the lack of...journal article 2020

Romero-Calvo, Álvaro (author), Cano-Gómez, Gabriel (author), Hermans, T.H.J. (author), Parrilla Benítez, Lidia (author), Herrada Gutiérrez, Miguel Ángel (author), Castro-Hernández, Elena (author)The formulation of the total force exerted by magnetic fields on ferrofluids has historically been a subject of intense debate and controversy. Although the theoretical foundations of this problem can now be considered to be well established, significant confusion still remains regarding the implementation of the associated expressions....journal article 2020

van Maren, D.S. (author), Vroom, J. (author), Fettweis, M. (author), Vanlede, J.D.S.M. (author)Despite availability of a large amount of observational data and modelling studies, the mechanisms maintaining the Turbidity Maximum in the Belgian-Dutch coastal zone around the port of Zeebrugge (Belgium) are insufficiently understood. In order to better understand the dynamics of this turbidity maximum we examine the role of baroclinic ...journal article 2020

Lunderman, Spencer (author), Morzfeld, Matthias (author), Glassmeier, F. (author), Feingold, Graham (author)Predator–prey dynamics have been suggested as simplified models of stratocumulus clouds, with rain acting as a predator of the clouds. We describe a mathematical and computational framework for estimating the parameters of a simplified model from a large eddy simulation (LES). In our method, we extract cycles of cloud growth and decay from...journal article 2020

Peng, T. (author), Nogal Macho, M. (author), Casas, J. R. (author), Lozano-Galant, J. A. (author), Turmo, J. (author)The characteristics of civil structures inevitably suffer a certain level of damage during its lifetime and cheap, non-destructive and reliable methods to assess their correct performance are of high importance. Structural System Identification (SSI) using measured response is the way to fine why performance is not correct and identify where...journal article 2020

Li, Z. (author), Jiang, X. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author), Zhu, Ling (author), Liu, Z. (author), Tang, Weiguo (author)Surface cracked steel plates reinforced with single-side Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) subjected to cyclic tension are experimental studied. The main purpose is to analyze the effect of FRP reinforcement on the crack growth. The failure modes and their effects are analyzed as well. Given the single-side reinforcement, reinforcing the cracked...journal article 2020

(author), Boom, R. (author), Yang, Y. (author)To lower the iron losses of the hot metal desulphurisation (HMD) process, slag modifiers can be added to the slag. Slag modifiers decrease the apparent viscosity of the HMD slag. Most common slag modifiers in industry contain fluoride as a fluidiser. However, fluoride leads to a higher magnesium consumption and has health, safety and...journal article 2020

Lindemulder, N. (author), Veraar, M.C. (author)In this paper we consider the Laplace operator with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a smooth domain. We prove that it has a bounded H<sup>∞</sup>-calculus on weighted L<sup>p</sup>-spaces for power weights which fall outside the classical class of A<sub>p</sub>-weights. Furthermore, we characterize the domain of the operator and derive...journal article 2020

(author)Quantum computers require classical electronics to ensure fault-tolerant operation. To address compactness and scalability, it was proposed to implement such electronics as integrated circuits operating at cryogenic temperatures close to those at which quantum bits (qubits) operate.
