van der Wal, Nienke (author)Introduction- The global incidence of thyroid cancer has risen significantly, prompting the development of innovative surgical techniques. Transoral thyroidectomy offers a scarless alternative, with the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) showing promising results. However, CO2 insufflation during TOETVA can lead to...master thesis 2024

Charles (author), Weinans, Harrie (author), van der Wal, Bart C.H. (author)Introduction Implant infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus are responsible for high mortality and morbidity worldwide. Treatment of these infections can be difficult especially when bacterial biofilms are involved. In this study we investigate the potential of infrared photoimmunotherapy to eradicate staphylococcal infection in a mouse...journal article 2024

Kinkel, E. (author), van der Wal, C.N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Building fires can be considered a risk to the health and safety of occupants. Environmental factors in building fires might affect the speed of an evacuation. Therefore, in this study participants (N = 153) were tested in an experimental design for the effects of (1) a fire alarm, (2) darkness and (3) the use of emergency exit signs on...journal article 2024

(author), Hu, Zhan (author), Liu, Shuai (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Lin, Yuan (author), Bouma, Tjeerd J. (author)Tidal flats are shrinking in extent globally. The dynamics of the response of estuarine tidal flats to global environmental changes remain unclear. Tidal-flat morphology is shaped by the interplay among wave and tidal forces, river discharge and sediment supply, and preservation of tidal flats requires a balance between erosional and...journal article 2024

van der Wal, Annemiek (author)This thesis project aims to answer the following research question: “What was and is exactly the agency of design sketching with its affordances in the past, in the present and probably in the future?” To answer this question, the various roles of sketching in different design phases are studied, taking both a theoretical and practical...master thesis 2023

van der Wal, Gwyn (author)The whitening transformation transforms a random matrix into a whitened matrix with expectation 0 and covariance matrix I. By removing the first and second order statistical structures, higher order structures can be looked at for better classification. This is why Stage Gate 11 B.V. has employed whitening in the preprocessing of their...master thesis 2023

(author), van Strijp, Jos A.G. (author), Weinans, Harrie (author), Amin Yavari, Saber (author)Background: Despite the extensive use of silver ions or nanoparticles in research related to preventing implant-associated infections (IAI), their use in clinical practice has been debated. This is because the strong antibacterial properties of silver are counterbalanced by adverse effects on host cells. One of the reasons for this may be the...journal article 2023

(author), de Jong, Kornelis (author), Nieuwenhuis, Jan Willem (author), Govers, Laura L. (author), Olff, Han (author), Bouma, Tjeerd J. (author)Salt marshes fronting coastal structures, such as seawalls and dikes, may offer important ecosystem-based coastal defence by reducing the wave loading and run-up levels during storms. We question (i) how the long-term salt marsh development in the Dutch Wadden Sea relates to the tidal-flat foreshore bathymetry and (ii) how the wave run-up...journal article 2023

Ivins, E. R. (author), van der Wal, W. (author), Wiens, D. A. (author), Lloyd, A. J. (author), Caron, L. (author)The Antarctic mantle and lithosphere are known to have large lateral contrasts in seismic velocity and tectonic history. These contrasts suggest differences in the response timescale of mantle flow across the continent, similar to those documented between the northeastern and southwestern upper mantle of North America. Glacial isostatic...journal article 2023

(author), Weinans, Harrie (author), Yavari, Saber Amin (author)The development of antibacterial coatings is a promising approach to preventing biofilm formation and reducing the overuse of systemic antibiotics. However, widespread antibiotic use has resulted in antibiotic-resistant bacteria, limiting the efficacy of antibiotic-based coatings. Herein, an antibacterial coating is developed by layer-by-layer ...journal article 2023

sharifian, rezvan (author), van der Wal, H. C. (author), Wagterveld, R. M. (author), Vermaas, D.A. (author)To assist reaching net-zero emissions, the dissolved carbon in the ocean can be extracted to enable an indirect air capture. An electrochemical bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BPMED) is a sustainable method for such capture. The BPMED enables a pH-swing that manipulates the oceanic carbonate-equilibrium using electricity. However, at...journal article 2023

van der Wal, W. (author), Barletta, Valentina (author), Nield, Grace (author), van Calcar, C.J. (author)This chapter reviews glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) and post-seismic deformation in Antarctica. It discusses numerical models and their inputs, and observations and inferences that have been made from them. Both processes are controlled by mantle viscosity but their forcings are different. Ongoing GIA induced by the loss of ice since the...journal article 2023
