Hemel, M. (author), Peters, D.J. (author), Schweckendiek, T. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)The historic canal walls of Amsterdam, stretching 200 km in total, are constructed as a masonry wall on a timber deck supported by vertical timber piles. Understanding the resistance against lateral failure of these quays has been challenging due to uncertainties in their working principles, geometry, soil and structural properties. This...journal article 2024

Jankovic, T.J. (author), Straathof, Adrie J.J. (author), Kiss, A.A. (author)Isobutanol is a highly attractive renewable alternative to conventional fossil fuels, with superior fuel properties as compared to ethanol and 1-butanol. Even though the isobutanol production by fermentation has significant potential, complex downstream processing is limiting the wide-spreading of this technology. Accordingly, this original...journal article 2024

(author), de Hingh, Ignace (author), Veltman, Jeroen (author), Siesling, Sabine (author)Background: In the Netherlands, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a temporary halt of population screening for cancer and limited hospital capacity for non-COVID care. We aimed to investigate the impact of the pandemic on the in-hospital diagnostic pathway of breast cancer (BC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: 71,159 BC and 48,900 CRC...journal article 2024

van Dinten, I. (author), Derakhshanfar, Pouria (author), Panichella, A. (author), Zaidman, A.E. (author)Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) have gained traction in recent years. A major non-functional quality of CPS is performance since it affects both usability and security. This critical quality attribute depends on the specialized hardware, simulation engines, and environmental factors that characterize the system under analysis. While a large body...journal article 2024

Lenssen, T.A. (author), Dankelman, J. (author), Horeman, T. (author)Introduction: Most robotic instruments and their drives still risk residual contamination due to cleaning complexities, rendering them limited reusable, and tend to have larger instruments than the 5mm laparoscopic standard. The novel steerable laparoscopic SATA-LRS uses modularity for cleanability and exchangeability. The SATA-Drive: a...journal article 2024

Ale Ebrahim Dehkordi, Molood (author), Melnyk, A. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Herder, P.M. (author)Social disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic challenged existing institutional arrangements that govern the society. During that time, nation-states had to prevent the collapse of society and rapidly establish new institutions and adapt existing ones to address public health, job security, and freedom-of-movement concerns. At the same time...journal article 2024

Comeau, M.J. (author), Ueding, Stefan (author), Becken, Michael (author)Electrodes are used to measure a potential difference between two points. In geophysical and geotechnical applications they are often in the form of non-polarizable porous-pot electrodes. Here we describe the design, construction, and testing of modular and refillable electrodes, which facilitates repair as the electrodes degrade over time. We...journal article 2024

Zuiderwijk-van Eijk, A.M.G. (author), Türk, Berkay Onur (author)To understand how open research data sharing and reuse can be further improved in the field of Epidemiology, this study explores the facilitating role that infrastructural and institutional arrangements play in this research discipline. It addresses two research questions: 1) What influence do infrastructural and institutional arrangements have...journal article 2024

Centeio Jorge, C. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author), Tielman, M.L. (author)In teams composed of humans, we use trust in others to make decisions, such as what to do next, who to help and who to ask for help. When a team member is artificial, they should also be able to assess whether a human teammate is trustworthy for a certain task. We see trustworthiness as the combination of (1) whether someone will do a task and ...journal article 2024

Sun, Junzi (author), Roosenbrand, E.J. (author)Contrails, formed under specific atmospheric conditions, have a noteworthy role in heat-trapping within the atmosphere. This study bridges the gap between theoretical contrail formation models and real-world data by employing flight information from OpenSky and meteorological data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. We...journal article 2024

Salgas, A. (author), Sun, Junzi (author), Delbecq, Scott (author), Planès, Thomas (author), Lafforgue, Gilles (author)The study of the environmental transition of the aviation sector calls for prospective traffic scenarios. Detailed traffic and emissions inventories are often needed to refine the available analyses and to enable the simulation of regionalised scenarios. In the past studies, these are generally based on commercial, proprietary traffic data,...journal article 2024

Cankurtaran, P. (author), Beverland, Michael B. (author), Farrelly, Francis J. (author)The value of design as a means of innovation has long been recognized. More recently, interest in how design can create value has moved from a functional to a strategic focus whereby the design concept defines the way in which the whole firm competes. This is known as “design orientation,” although research on the nature of this construct...journal article 2024

Homborg, A.M. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author), Tinga, Tiedo (author)This paper for the first time treats the interpretation of electrochemical noise time-frequency spectra as an image classification problem. It investigates the application of a convolutional neural network (CNN) for deep learning image classification of electrochemical noise time-frequency transient information. Representative slices of these...journal article 2024

Krugla, M. (author), Offerman, S.E. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Hanlon, Dave N. (author)The production reality of sheet steels from casting to the end product is such that in the cases of ultra- and advanced high-strength steels, we have to deal with the segregation of elements on macro- and microlevels. Both can have a significant impact on the microstructure formation and resulting properties. There are several production stages...journal article 2024
