Bastek, Jan Hendrik (author), Kumar, Siddhant (author), Telgen, Bastian (author), Glaesener, Raphaël N. (author), Kochmann, Dennis M. (author)Inspired by crystallography, the periodic assembly of trusses into architected materials has enjoyed popularity for more than a decade and produced countless cellular structures with beneficial mechanical properties. Despite the successful and steady enrichment of the truss design space, the inverse design has remained a challenge: While...journal article 2022

Prasse, B. (author), Achterberg, M.A. (author), Van Mieghem, P.F.A. (author)During the outbreak of a virus, perhaps the greatest concern is the future evolution of the epidemic: How many people will be infected and which regions will be affected the most? The accurate prediction of an epidemic enables targeted disease countermeasures (e.g., allocating medical staff and quarantining). But when can we trust the...journal article 2022

Gentili, M. (author), Hoekstra, J.S.C.M. (author)This report examines the scales and dimensions of inequality in the functional urban area (FUA) of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Our purpose is to understand how the drivers of socio-economic inequality, and the policies responding to these, operate in this local context. Particular attention is paid to the room for action of local policies and...report 2022

Satriani, S. (author), Saffana Ilma, Izana (author), Daniel, D. (author)This study provides an overview of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) research trends in Indonesia from 1975 until April 2021. The systematic review compiled 272 articles related to the Sustainable Development Goals 6.1 and 6.2 in Indonesia, which were published in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The results showed that the water...journal article 2022

Easa, Said (author), Raju, Narayana (author), Arkatkar, Shriniwas (author)Currently, the dilemma and option zones’ failures are independently used to analyze the intergreen interval at signalized intersections. Therefore, the present research work is initiated to integrate these failures. First, the dilemma and option zones are modelled using the first-order second-moment method. Then, game theory is used to model the...journal article 2022

Donselaar, M.E. (author), Cuevas Gozalo, M.C. (author), van Toorenenburg, K.A. (author), Wallinga, J. (author)Fluvial depositional architecture in an unconfined environment is governed by sediment dispersal across the alluvial plain through river-path switching by avulsion. Documented inter-avulsion periodicity from modern rivers ranges from tens to over a thousand years. In this study, a quantitative spatio-temporal reconstruction of avulsion...journal article 2022

(author), Castro, Cyndi (author), Di Baldassarre, Giuliano (author), Frick-Trzebitzky, Fanny (author), Hogeboom, Rick (author), Kreibich, Heidi (author), Mukherjee, Jenia (author)In a recent editorial in the journal Nature Sustainability, the editors raised the concern that journal submissions on water studies appear too similar. The gist of the editorial: “too many publications and not enough ideas.” In this response, we contest this notion, and point to the numerous new ideas that result from taking a broader view...journal article 2022

Batselier, K. (author)Nonlinear parametric system identification is the estimation of nonlinear models of dynamical systems from measured data. Nonlinear models are parameterized, and it is exactly these parameters that must be estimated. Extending familiar linear models to their nonlinear counterparts quickly leads to practical problems. For example, the...journal article 2022

Houben, Georg J. (author), Collins, Sarah (author), Bakker, M. (author), Daffner, Thomas (author), Triller, Falk (author), Kacimov, Anvar (author)Horizontal wells play an often overlooked role in hydrogeology and aquifer remediation but can be an interesting option for many applications. This study reviews the constructional and hydraulic aspects that distinguish them from vertical wells. Flow patterns towards them are much more complicated than those for vertical wells, which makes their...journal article 2022

(author)In this article, we investigate the passivation quality and electrical contact properties for samples with a 150 nm thick n+ polysilicon layer in comparison to samples with a phosphorus diffused layer. High level of passivation is achieved for the samples with n+ polysilicon layer and an interfacial oxide underneath it. The contact properties...journal article 2022

Newcamp, Jeffrey M. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)Aircraft fleet managers lack tools to aid decision-making for fleets nearing retirement, which leads to rushed and ill-informed decisions. Accordingly, aging aircraft fleets are underutilized and fleets can be retired before their useful lifetime has been expended. A decision support framework is proposed to solve the aging military aircraft...conference paper 2022

Yan, Y. (author), Helmons, R.L.J. (author), Schott, D.L. (author)Sliding wear of bulk handling equipment (e.g., shovel bucket, mill and transfer chute) can be dramatically reduced by using a convex pattern surface compared to a flat surface, by adjusting the flow behavior of particles moving along the convex pattern surface. To study the effect of particle size relative to the dimensions of the convex pattern...journal article 2022

Kniestedt, I. (author), Lefter, I. (author), Lukosch, Stephan (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)Although games are frequently described as ‘engaging’, what this means exactly continues to be subject of debate in game literature. Engagement is often defined through related concepts like immersion and positive emotions. However, this neglects the fact that applied games aim to provide more than an entertaining experience, and that engagement...journal article 2022
