Song, Y. (author), de Jong, W.M. (author), Stead, D. (author)China is often viewed as an emerging experimental base for transit-oriented development (TOD) practices because of its rapid urban growth and development of mass transit networks. The implementation of TOD can be heavily influenced by institutional barriers to urban growth. However, some newly emerging types of TOD practice allow planners and...journal article 2021

(author), Kooiman, Klazina (author)Phospholipid-coated microbubbles are ultrasound contrast agents that can be employed for ultrasound molecular imaging and drug delivery. For safe and effective implementation, microbubbles must respond uniformly and predictably to ultrasound. Therefore, we investigated how lipid handling and phase distribution affected the variability in the...journal article 2021

(author), Ramdin, M. (author)Formic acid (FA) is an interesting hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) carrier that can be produced by the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) using renewable energy. The separation of FA from water is challenging due to the strong (cross)association of the components and the presence of a high boiling azeotrope. For the...journal article 2021

Tapia, Rodrigo Javier (author), de Jong, Gerard (author), Larranaga, Ana M. (author), Bettella Cybis, Helena B. (author)There are some examples where freight choices may be of a multiple discrete nature, especially the ones at more tactical levels of planning. Nevertheless, this has not been investigated in the literature, although several discrete-continuous models for mode/vehicle type and shipment size choice have been developed in freight transport. In...journal article 2021

de Jong, J. J. (author), Müller, A. (author), Herder, J.L. (author)Dynamic balance eliminates the fluctuating reaction forces and moments induced by high-speed robots that would otherwise cause undesired base vibrations, noise and accuracy loss. Many balancing procedures, such as the addition of counter-rotating inertia wheels, increase the complexity and motor torques. There exist, however, a small set of...journal article 2021

(author)In circular photoacoustic computed tomography, for data acquisition, a single-element transducer rotates around the region of interest (ROI). Due to the limited acceptance angle of the finite size transducer, the reconstructed image becomes blurred, and tangential resolution/contrast degrades in off-center locations in the ROI. In this paper, we...conference paper 2021

(author), Verweij, M.D. (author), de Jong, N. (author)Over the past decades, real-time three-dimensional (3D) medical ultrasound has attracted much attention since it enables clinicians to diagnose more accurately. This calls for ultrasound matrix transducers with a large number of elements, which can be interfaced with an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for data reduction.
