Allaart, M.T. (author), Korkontzelos, Charilaos (author), Sousa, Diana Z. (author), Kleerebezem, R. (author)Syngas fermentation has gained momentum over the last decades. The cost-efficient design of industrial-scale bioprocesses is highly dependent on quantitative microbial growth data. Kinetic and stoichiometric models for syngas-converting microbes exist, but accurate experimental validation of the derived parameters is lacking. Here, we...journal article 2024

Wang, Q. (author), Zhou, Dong (author), Zhao, C. (author), Wang, Jianlin (author), Guo, Hao (author), Wang, Liguang (author), Yao, Zhenpeng (author), Lu, Jun (author), Wagemaker, M. (author)Sodium-ion batteries have not only garnered substantial attention for grid-scale energy storage owing to the higher abundance of sodium compared with lithium, but also present the possibility of fast charging because of the inherently higher sodium-ion mobility. However, it remains a phenomenal challenge to achieve a combination of these...journal article 2024

(author)We explore the impact of force field parameters and reaction equilibrium on the scaling behavior towards the critical point in reactive binary systems, focusing on NO <sub>2</sub>/N <sub>2</sub>O <sub>4</sub>. This system can be considered as a special single-component system since NO <sub>2</sub> and N <sub>2</sub>O <sub>4</sub> are in...journal article 2024

(author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Giardina, Giorgia (author)Regional-scale assessment of the damage caused by earthquakes to structures is crucial for post-disaster management. While remote sensing techniques can be of great help for a quick post-event structural assessment of large areas, currently available methods are limited to the detection of severely-damaged buildings. Furthermore, remote...journal article 2024

(author), Wiertlewski, M. (author), Redmond, Stephen J. (author), Birznieks, Ingvars (author)Abstract: When manipulating objects, humans begin adjusting their grip force to friction within 100 ms of contact. During motor adaptation, subjects become aware of the slipperiness of touched surfaces. Previously, we have demonstrated that humans cannot perceive frictional differences when surfaces are brought in contact with an immobilised...journal article 2024

González, Rodrigo A. (author), Tiels, Koen (author), Oomen, T.A.E. (author)Sampling in control applications is increasingly done non-equidistantly in time. This includes applications in motion control, networked control, resource-aware control, and event-based control. Some of these applications, like the ones where displacement is tracked using incremental encoders, are driven by signals that are only measured when...journal article 2024

Chen, Qianyi (author), Schott, D.L. (author), Jovanova, J. (author)Soft grippers show adaptability and flexibility in grasping irregularly shaped and fragile objects. However, the low loading capacity and less deformation limit the soft gripper for developing large-scale applications. To overcome these limitations, we propose a new concept of a soft actuator with engineered smart particles. The proposed soft...journal article 2024

van Dijk, M.P. (author), Hoozemans, Marco J.M. (author), Berger, M.A.M. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author)An important performance determinant in wheelchair sports is the power exchanged between the athlete-wheelchair combination and the environment, in short, mechanical power. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) might be used to estimate the exchanged mechanical power during wheelchair sports practice. However, to validly apply IMUs for mechanical...journal article 2024

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 O <sub>3</sub> production. Aircraft NO <sub>x</sub> emissions are of particular interest, as they lead to warming via the short-term production of O <sub>3</sub>,...journal article 2024
