(author), Wiertlewski, M. (author), Redmond, Stephen J. (author), Birznieks, Ingvars (author)Abstract: When manipulating objects, humans begin adjusting their grip force to friction within 100 ms of contact. During motor adaptation, subjects become aware of the slipperiness of touched surfaces. Previously, we have demonstrated that humans cannot perceive frictional differences when surfaces are brought in contact with an immobilised...journal article 2024

Hess, Daniel Baldwin (author), Tammaru, Tiit (author), van Ham, M. (author)It has been nearly fifteen years since a large European Union–funded project called RESTATE explored challenges in housing estates throughout several European countries and served as a clearinghouse for the exchange of ideas for counteracting negative trends in large housing estates (van Kempen et al. 2005). Since that time, a series of riots in...book chapter 2024

Simorgh, A. (author), Soler, Manuel (author), Castino, F. (author), Yin, F. (author), Cerezo Magana, M. (author)The spatiotemporal dependency of aviation-induced non-CO<sub>2</sub> climate effects can be incorporated into flight planning tools to generate climate-friendly flight plans. However, estimating climate impact is challenging and associated with high uncertainty. To ensure the effectiveness of such an operational measure, sources that induce...journal article 2024

Pimentel, Mário (author), Sine, Aurélio (author), Nunes, Sandra (author)The tensile response of ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced composites (UHPFRC) is decisive in many applications and depends on the steel fibre content and orientation. These vary troughout the structural element and may differ from those in the laboratory specimens used to characterize the material behaviour. This work presents the...journal article 2024

Korthals Altes, E. (author)To what extent did the international art market contribute to the shaping of the concept of schools of painting, in particular the northern and southern Netherlandish schools? By studying the structure of auction catalogues, collection catalogues, art literature, and several other sources, this essay considers the important changes that took...book chapter 2024

Abdelrady, Ahmed (author), Tang, Yuchen (author), Bogaard, T.A. (author), Foppen, J.W.A. (author)Sand filtration systems (SF) are a well-established approach in ensuring the availability of clean water. Understanding the transport properties of colloidal particles within SF systems is of paramount importance for optimizing their performance. This study investigated the potential utilization of silica-encapsulated DNA particles, equipped...journal article 2024

Simorgh, A. (author), Soler, Manuel (author), Dietmüller, Simone (author), Matthes, Sigrun (author), Yamashita, Hiroshi (author), Castino, F. (author), Yin, F. (author)The non-CO<sub>2</sub> climate impact of aviation strongly relies on the atmospheric conditions at the time and location of emissions. Therefore, it is possible to mitigate their associated climate impact by planning trajectories to re-route airspace areas with significant climate effects. Identifying such climate-sensitive regions requires...journal article 2024

Vučić, Nikola (author), Vranić, Saša (author), Sutherland, Michael (author), van Oosterom, P.J.M. (author)Due to the needs of modern society, cadastral systems should be designed to support three dimensional (3D) spatial data. One of many possible approaches for implementing a 3D cadastre, in countries such as Croatia, is to establish a Building Register as a transitional register between 2D and 3D cadastres, where data about buildings and...journal article 2024

(author), Smith, Wilson A. (author)CO<sub>2</sub> from carbonate-based capture solutions requires a substantial energy input. Replacing this step with (bi)carbonate electrolysis has been commonly proposed as an efficient alternative that coproduces CO/syngas. Here, we assess the feasibility of directly integrating air contactors with (bi)carbonate electrolyzers by leveraging...journal article 2024
