(author), Olivos Suarez, A.I. (author), Hazemann, Jean-Louis (author), Kapteijn, F. (author), Gascon, Jorge (author)The mechanism of methane activation on Mo/HZSM-5 is not yet fully understood, despite the great interest in methane dehydroaromatization (MDA) to replace aromatics production in oil refineries. It is difficult to assess the exact nature of the active site due to fast coking. By pre-carburizing Mo/HZSM-5 with carbon monoxide (CO), the MDA active...journal article 2018

Shao, Y. (author), Lu, Xingyuan (author), Konijnenberg, A.P. (author), Zhao, C.L. (author), Cai, Yangjian (author), Urbach, Paul (author)The complete characterization of spatial coherence is extremely di cult because the mutual coherence function (MCF) is a complex-valued function of four independent Cartesian coordinates. This di culty limits the ability to control and to optimize the spatial coherence in a broad range of key applications. Here we propose an e cient and...journal article 2018

Santoni De Sio, F. (author), van den Hoven, M.J. (author)Debates on lethal autonomous weapon systems have proliferated in the past 5 years. Ethical concerns have been voiced about a possible raise in the number of wrongs and crimes in military operations and about the creation of a “responsibility gap” for harms caused by these systems. To address these concerns, the principle of “meaningful human...journal article 2018

Jamali, S.H. (author), Wolff, L.W.M. (author), Becker, T. (author), Bardow, André (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author), Moultos, O. (author)Molecular Dynamics simulations were performed for the prediction of the finite-size effects of Maxwell-Stefan diffusion coefficients of molecular mixtures and a wide variety of binary Lennard-Jones systems. A strong dependency of computed diffusivities on the system size was observed. Computed diffusivities were found to increase with the...journal article 2018

Bouwmeester, J. (author), van der Linden, S. P. (author), Povalac, A. (author), Gill, E.K.A. (author)Developers experience issues with the compatibility, connector size and robustness of electrical interface standards for CubeSats and PocketQubes. There is a need for a lean and robust electrical interface standard for these classes of satellites. The proposed interface standard comprises a linear data bus which is used for housekeeping data,...journal article 2018

(author)Background: Pharmacokinetic (PK) models can describe microvascular density and integrity. An essential component of PK models is the arterial input function (AIF) representing the time-dependent concentration of contrast agent (CA) in the blood plasma supplied to a tissue.

(author)Li and Na metals have the highest theoretical anode capacity for Li/Na batteries, but the operational safety hazards stemming from uncontrolled growth of Li/Na dendrites and unstable electrode-electrolyte interfaces hinder their real-world applications. Recently, the emergence of 3D conductive scaffolds aimed at mitigating the dendritic...journal article 2018

(author)This paper presents an ultrasound transceiver application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) designed for 3-D ultrasonic imaging of the carotid artery. This application calls for an array of thousands of ultrasonic transducer elements, far exceeding the number of channels of conventional imaging systems. The 3.6 x 6.8 mm&#x00B2; ASIC...journal article 2018

Mehrali, M. (author), Ghatkesar, M.K. (author), Pecnik, Rene (author)The wide-spread adoption of solar thermal absorbers is currently hampered by their low absorption efficiencies and their high capital cost. As a result, a number of initiatives, including direct absorption solar collectors (DASC), are currently underway to improve the absorber efficiencies. In this regard, this study focused on application of...journal article 2018

(author)We present and demonstrate a general three-step method for extracting the quantum efficiency of dispersive qubit readout in circuit QED. We use active depletion of post-measurement photons and optimal integration weight functions on two quadratures to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio of the non-steady-state homodyne measurement. We derive...journal article 2018

Silva, Marcelo (author), Castellanos, Leydi (author), Ottens, M. (author)Adsorption can be an effective way of purifying polyphenols from complex mixtures. However, polyphenols may be present in small concentrations, making it difficult to selectively adsorb them onto standard hydrophobic resins and obtain appreciable adsorption. In this work, nonfunctionalized hydrophobic resins (Amberlite XAD-7HP, XAD-16) are...journal article 2018

Molin, E.J.E. (author), Meeuwisse, Kirsten (author), Pieters, W. (author), Chorus, C.G. (author)It is often suggested in the literature that employees regard technical security measures (TSMs) as user-unfriendly, indicating a trade-off between security and usability. However, there is little empirical evidence of such a trade-off, nor about the strength of the associated negative correlation and the importance employees attach to both...journal article 2018

Alfano, M.R. (author), Rusch, Hannes (author), Uhl, Matthias (author)Ethics is a field in which the gap between words and actions looms large. Game theory and the empirical methods it inspires look at behavior instead of the lip service people sometimes pay to norms. We believe that this special issue comprises several illustrations of the fruitful application of this approach to ethics.contribution to periodical 2018

However, next to topological edge states that emerge in a sufficient magnetic field, trivial edge states can also occur. We study the trivial edge states with superconducting quantum interference measurements on...journal article 2018
