Horemans, Dante M.L. (author), Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author), Sabbe, Koen (author), Vyverman, Wim (author), Meire, Patrick (author), Cox, Tom J.S. (author)Many estuaries exhibit seasonality in the estuary-scale distribution of suspended particulate matter (SPM). This SPM distribution depends on various factors, including freshwater discharge, salinity intrusion, erodibility, and the ability of cohesive SPM to flocculate into larger aggregates. Various authors indicate that biotic factors, such...journal article 2021

Hendrickx, G.G. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author), Dijkstra, Jasper T. (author), Storlazzi, Curt D. (author), Toth, Lauren T. (author)The increasing pressure on Earth's ecosystems due to climate change is becoming more and more evident and the impacts of climate change are especially visible on coral reefs. Understanding how climate change interacts with the physical environment of reefs to impact coral growth and reef development is critically important to predicting the...journal article 2021

(author)1.1 Background To educate future competent engineers, it is crucial to adopt teaching and learning approaches that support students in dealing with highly complex problems [1]. One strategy is to enhance service mathematics in higher engineering education by shifting from outcome-centered to competence-centered approaches [2]. This strategy...conference paper 2021

Beselly, S.M. (author), van der Wegen, Mick (author), Grueters, Uwe (author), Reyns, J.A.H. (author), Dijkstra, Jasper (author), Roelvink, D. (author)This article presents a novel approach to explore mangrove dynamics on a prograding delta by integrating unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and satellite imagery. The Porong Delta in Indonesia has a unique geographical setting with rapid delta development and expansion of the mangrove belt. This is due to an unprecedented mud load from the LUSI...journal article 2021

(author), Dijkstra, Jouke (author), Van Roon-Mom, Willeke (author), Höllt, T. (author), van der Weerd, Louise (author)Brain iron accumulation has been found to accelerate disease progression in amyloid-β(Aβ) positive Alzheimer patients, though the mechanism is still unknown. Microglia have been identified as key players in the disease pathogenesis, and are highly reactive cells responding to aberrations such as increased iron levels. Therefore, using...journal article 2021

Wang, Jinyang (author), de Swart, Huib E. (author), Dijkstra, Y.M. (author)Estuaries are often characterised by a complex network of branching channels, in which the water motion is primarily driven by tides and fresh water discharge. For both scientific reasons and management purposes, it is important to gain more fundamental knowledge about the hydrodynamics in such networks, as well as their implications for...journal article 2021

Dijkstra, Jasper (author)Very high energy electron (VHEE) radiotherapy is being investigated as a potential replacement of photon therapy. VHEE pencil beams have a small penumbra and strong depth dependence for radiotherapy when compared to photons. This allows a lower dose to healthy tissue. Generating these high electron energy beams could be...master thesis 2020

van Heteren, Mauries (author), Dijkstra, Jonathan (author)In this thesis, the design of a frequency analysis system for conveyor belt weighing systems is designed. The objective of the thesis is to detect a change in resonance frequency, caused by a change of pressure applied to a sensor. The design features a resolution of 10 000 discrete frequency levels in a bandwidth of 0.5 MHz. Noise division of a...bachelor thesis 2020

Dijkstra, Fokke (author)A variety of statistical methods are available to detect sudden changes, or breakpoints, in time series when used as multi-temporal change detection technique. However, these methods are unreliable in the presence of noise. Neural nets might detect breakpoints better. These deep learning models are able to generalize and optimize well, even in...master thesis 2020

(author)Shallow tropical bays in the Caribbean, like Orient Bay and Galion Bay in Saint Martin, are often sheltered by coral reefs. In the relatively calm environment behind the reefs, seagrass meadows grow. Together, these ecosystems provide valuable ecosystem services like coastal protection, biodiversity hotspots, nursery grounds for animals and...journal article 2020

(author)Removal of organic and inorganic sulfur compounds from sour gases is required because of their toxicity and atmospheric pollution. The most common are hydrogen sulfide (H<sub>2</sub>S) and methanethiol (MT). Under oxygen-limiting conditions about 92 mol% of sulfide is oxidized to sulfur by haloalkaliphilic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB),...journal article 2020

Fiorucci, Giulia (author), Coli, Gabriele M. (author), Padding, J.T. (author), Dijkstra, Marjolein (author)We investigate the effect of hydrodynamic interactions (HIs) on the crystal nucleation of hard-sphere colloids for varying supersaturations. We use molecular dynamics and stochastic rotation dynamics techniques to account for the HIs. For high supersaturation values, we perform brute force simulations and compute the nucleation rate,...journal article 2020

Dijkstra, Kevin (author)E8 is a famous root system in mathematics. Lisi claims in his paper “An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything” that there is a connection between the standard model of the elementary particles and this root system. He claims that standard model has the same structure as the root system E8. If this is true, there must be a mapping from the...bachelor thesis 2019

Dijkstra, Sjoerd (author)In this work we set out to determine the impact, if any, of the analysis of news on stock price prediction, that is, are we able to predict stock movements more accurately on a consistent basis than a proposed baseline or random guessing on the basis of news’ text analysis. We considered a methodology to be more accurate if its success rate is...bachelor thesis 2019
