Gani, Md Ataul (author), van der Kwast, Johannes (author), McClain, M.E. (author), Gettel, Gretchen (author), Irvine, Kenneth (author)Geomorphic classification of large rivers identifies morphological patterns, as a foundation for estimating biogeochemical and ecological processes. In order to support the modelling of in-channel nutrient retention or export, the classification of geomorphic units (GUs) was done in the Padma River, Bangladesh, a large and geomorphically...journal article 2022

Morisset, Audrey (author), Famprikis, T. (author), Haug, Franz Josef (author), Ingenito, Andrea (author), Ballif, Christophe (author), Bannenberg, L.J. (author)The integration of passivating contacts based on a highly doped polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) layer on top of a thin silicon oxide (SiOx) layer has been identified as the next step to further increase the conversion efficiency of current mainstream crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells. However, the interrelation between the final...journal article 2022

van Manen, T. (author), Moosabeiki, Vahid (author), Cruz Saldivar, M. (author), Mirzaali, Mohammad J. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)4D printing of flat sheets that self-fold into architected 3D structures is a powerful origami-inspired approach for the fabrication of multi-functional devices and metamaterials. However, the opposite stiffness requirements for the folding process and the subsequent loadbearing of 3D structures impose an intrinsic limitation in designing...journal article 2022

Kouwenhoven, K. (author), Elwakil, I. (author), van Wingerden, J. (author), Murugesan, V. (author), Thoen, David (author), Baselmans, J.J.A. (author), de Visser, P.J. (author)Typical materials for optical Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detetectors (MKIDs) are metals with a natural absorption of ∼ 30–50% in the visible and near-infrared. To reach high absorption efficiencies (90–100%) the KID must be embedded in an optical stack. We show an optical stack design for a 60 nm TiN film. The optical stack is modeled as...journal article 2022

Rikkert, S.J.H. (author), Kok, M. (author), Lendering, K.T. (author), Jongejan, R.B. (author)Flood prone areas are often protected against flooding by an extensive network of flood defenses. To ensure their structural integrity, these flood defenses are periodically assessed. Many levees have been functioning well for decades, and have survived several relatively high hydraulic loads within their lifetime. However, information on...journal article 2022

(author)The electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is a promising alternative to the current greenhouse gas emission intensive process to produce ammonia (NH<sub>3</sub>) from nitrogen (N<sub>2</sub>). However, finding an electrocatalyst that promotes NRR over the competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has proven to be difficult. This...journal article 2022

(author)Progressing targets on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission reduction urge the Netherlands Ministry of Defense (NL MoD) to reduce GHG emissions, without sacrificing striking power. The Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) is investigating the replacement of the Air Defense and Command Frigate (LCF) between 2030 and 2040 by a Large Surface Combatant. As it...journal article 2022

Hosseini-Asl, M. (author), Amiri Simkooei, A. (author), Safari, A. (author)The performance of the gravimetric geoid models is usually evaluated by comparison of geoid heights with the GNSS/levelling derived geoid. But the GNSS/levelling network can be infected by significant systematic biases and random errors, especially in large and uneven areas. This contribution addresses the challenging problem of the corrector...journal article 2022

Liang, F. (author), Brunelli, Matteo (author), Rezaei, J. (author)This study aims to develop a Multi-Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) method, the Best-Worst Tradeoff method, which draws on the underlying principles of two popular MADM methods (the Best-Worst Method (BWM) and the Tradeoff). The traditional Tradeoff procedure, which is based on the axiomatic foundation of multi-attribute value theory, considers...journal article 2022

Araya Day, I.M. (author), Akhmerov, A.R. (author), Varjas, Dániel (author)We show that topological defects in quadrupole insulators do not host quantized fractional charges, contrary to what their Wannier representation indicates. In particular, we test the charge quantization hypothesis based on the Wannier representation of a disclination and a parametric defect. Since disclinations necessarily strain the lattice...journal article 2022

(author), Serebrenik, Alexander (author)Code smells are poor implementation choices applied by developers during software evolution that often lead to critical flaws or failure. Much in the same way, community smells reflect the presence of organizational and socio-Technical issues within a software community that may lead to additional project costs.
