Delvigne, Frank (author), Noorman, H.J. (author)The bio-economy is in transit from innovation to commercialization. The bioprocess industry is expected to increasingly deliver bio-products to the market, in large amounts, at high quality and at competitive cost levels. This requires flawless start-up of new large-scale bioprocesses and continuous improvement of running processes....journal article 2017

(author), Michelsen, H. A. (author)We have developed and built a small porous-plug burner based on the original McKenna burner design. The new burner generates a laminar premixed flat flame for use in studies of combustion chemistry and soot formation. The size is particularly relevant for space-constrained, synchrotron-based X-ray diagnostics. In this paper, we present...journal article 2017

Brunner, S. (author), Schaart, D.R. (author)Due to detector developments in the last decade, the time-of-flight (TOF) method is now commonly used to improve the quality of positron emission tomography (PET) images. Clinical TOF-PET systems based on L(Y)SO:Ce crystals and silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) with coincidence resolving times (CRT) between 325 ps and 400 ps FWHM have recently...journal article 2017

Heiligers, M.J. (author), Guerrant, D. (author), Lawrence, D (author)Solar sailing is an elegant form of space propulsion that reflects solar photons off a large membrane to produce thrust. Different sail configurations exist, including a traditional fixed polygonal flat sail and a heliogyro, which divides the membrane into a number of long, slender blades. The magnitude and direction of the resulting thrust...journal article 2017

Zheng, Junchao (author), Tang, Hailong (author), Chen, Min (author), Yin, F. (author)As an evolutional concept of variable cycle engine, the adaptive cycle engine draws widely attention with high expectations. It combines a variable geometry schedule and component matching principles to demonstrate its advantages such as avoiding severe inlet spillage drag and the wide variable cycle characteristics. Thus, this paper aims at...journal article 2017

Hadi Mosleh, Mojgan (author), Sedighi, Majid (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Turner, Matthew (author)The high affinity and adsorption capacity of coal to carbon dioxide provides an alternative approach for the enhanced recovery of methane from unminable coalfields (CO<sub>2</sub>-ECBM) by which a potential solution for long-term CO<sub>2</sub> sequestration in deep geological formations can also be achieved. However, due to chemomechanical...journal article 2017

Wilding, D. (author), Soloviev, O.A. (author), Pozzi, P. (author), Vdovin, Gleb (author), Verhaegen, M.H.G. (author)A methodology for retrieving the unknown object distribution and point-spread functions (PSFs) from a set of images acquired in the presence of temporal phase aberrations is presented in this paper. The method works by finding optimal complimentary linear filters for multi-frame deconvolution. The algorithm uses undemanding computational...journal article 2017

Steiner, A. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Broere, W. (author)Geo-energy infrastructure, such as ground source heat systems (thermo-active structures), induce thermal cycles that can result in changes of the bearing capacity of soil by changing, for example, the void ratio, soil structure, unit weight and hydraulic conductivity. The influence of repeated freeze/thaw (FT) cycles and different freezing rates...journal article 2017

Salauddin, M (author), Broere, A. (author), van der Meer, J.W. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Bijl, E (author)Single layer concrete armor systems are being widely used nowadays in the design of rubble mound breakwaters. Recently, a new concrete armor unit has been developed and applied as single layer armor system in the repair works of one damaged breakwater at Al Fujeirah, UAE. It has a symmetrical shape, in contrast to most other units. Modern...journal article 2017

(author), Lelieveldt, B.P.F. (author)Mass cytometry allows high-resolution dissection of the cellular composition of the immune system. However, the high-dimensionality, large size, and non-linear structure of the data poses considerable challenges for the data analysis. In particular, dimensionality reduction-based techniques like t-SNE offer single-cell resolution but are...journal article 2017
