(author)Rhodococcus strains are ubiquitous in nature and known to metabolise a wide variety of compounds. At the same time, asymmetric reduction of C=C bonds is important in the production of high-valued chiral building blocks. In order to evaluate if Rhodococci can be used for this task, we have probed several Rhodococcus rhodochrous and R....journal article 2018

Maljaars, P.J. (author), Bronswijk, L.M.E. (author), Windt, Jaap (author), Grasso, Nicola (author), Kaminski, M.L. (author)In the past several decades, many papers have been published on fluid–structure coupled calculations to analyse the hydro-elastic response of flexible (composite) propellers. The flow is usually modelled either by the Navier–Stokes equations or as a potential flow, by assuming an irrotational flow. Phenomena as separation of the flow, flow...journal article 2018

Digdaya, I.A. (author), Trzesniewski, B.J. (author), Adhyaksa, Gede W.P. (author), Garnett, E.C. (author), Smith, W.A. (author)Metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) photoelectrodes offer a simple alternative to the traditional semiconductor-liquid junction and the conventional p-n junction electrode. Highly efficient MIS photoanodes require interfacial surface passivating oxides and high workfunction metals to produce a high photovoltage. Herein, we investigate and...journal article 2018

Shipurkar, U. (author), Lyrakis, E. (author), Ma, Ke (author), Polinder, H. (author), Ferreira, Jan Abraham (author)The power electronic converter, especially the power semiconductor, is a major contributor to the failure rates of the wind turbine drivetrain. As the temperature is a major driving factor behind the failure mechanisms of these power semiconductors the choice of topology and switching strategy can have a significant effect on the reliability...journal article 2018

De Martín, Lilian (author), Ottevanger, C.P. (author), van Ommen, J.R. (author), Coppens, Marc Olivier (author)A granular layer can form regular patterns, such as squares, stripes, and hexagons, when it is fluidized with a pulsating gas flow. These structures are reminiscent of the well-known patterns found in granular layers excited through vibration, but, contrarily to them, they have been hardly explored since they were first discovered. In this...journal article 2018

Gamarino, M. (author), Dall'Osso, Aldo (author), Lathouwers, D. (author), Kloosterman, J.L. (author)Nodal diffusion is currently the preferred neutronics model for industrial reactor core calculations, which use few-group cross-section libraries generated via standard assembly homogenization. The infinite-medium flux-weighted cross sections fail to capture the spectral effects triggered in the core environment by nonreflective boundary...journal article 2018

Kreutzer, M.T. (author), Shah, M.S. (author), Parthiban, Pravien (author), Khan, S.A. (author)We experimentally and theoretically describe the dynamics of evolution and eventual rupture of Landau-Levich-Bretherton films of partially wetting liquids in microchannels in terms of nonplanar interface curvatures and disjoining pressure. While both the early-stage dynamics of film evolution and near-collapse dynamics of rupture are...journal article 2018

van Duin, Ron (author), Geerlings, Harry (author), Verbraeck, A. (author), Nafde, Tushar (author)The increase in population, high standards of living and rapid urbanization has led to an increasing demand for food across the globe. The global trade has made it possible to meet this demand by enabling transport of different food products from one part of the world to another. In this trade, refrigerated containers (reefers) play an important...journal article 2018
