van den Berg, L. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), de Kreuk, M.K. (author)Biofilm and granular sludge processes depend on diffusion of substrates. Despite their importance for the kinetic description of biofilm reactors, biofilm diffusion coefficients reported in literature vary greatly. The aim of this simulation study was to determine to what extent the methods that are used to measure diffusion coefficients...journal article 2020

Fokkema, J.T. (author), van den Berg, Peter M. (author)Maxwell's equations are transformed from a Cartesian geometry to a Riemannian geometry. A geodetic path in the Riemannian geometry is defined as the raypath on which the electromagnetic energy efficiently travels through the medium. Consistent with the spatial behavior of the Poynting vector, the metric tensor is required to be functionally...journal article 2020

(author), de Kreuk, M.K. (author), Codd, Sarah L. (author)Despite aerobic granular sludge wastewater treatment plants operating around the world, our understanding of internal granule structure and its relation to treatment efficiency remains limited. This can be attributed in part to the drawbacks of time-consuming, labor-intensive, and invasive microscopy protocols which effectively restrict...journal article 2020

van den Berg, T.G.C. (author), Kroesen, M. (author), Chorus, C.G. (author)Risky and aggressive driving is an important cause of traffic casualties and as such a major health and cost problem to society. Given the consequences for others, risky and aggressive driving has a clear moral component. Surprisingly, however, there has been little research on the relation between morality and risky and aggressive driving...journal article 2020

van den Berg, P.L. (author), Fiskerstrand, Peter (author), Aardal, K.I. (author), Einerkjær, Jørgen (author), Thoresen, Trond (author), Røislien, Jo (author)Background Ambulance services play a crucial role in providing pre-hospital emergency care. In order to ensure quick responses, the location of the bases, and the distribution of available ambulances among these bases, should be optimized. In mixed urban-rural areas, this optimization typically involves a trade-off between backup coverage in...journal article 2019

(author)Synthetic-aperture (SA) imaging is a popular method to visualize the reflectivity of an object from ultrasonic reflections. The method yields an image of the (volume) contrast in acoustic impedance with respect to the embedding. Typically, constant mass density is assumed in the underlying derivation. Due to the band-limited nature of the...journal article 2019

van den Berg, P.L. (author), van Essen, J.T. (author)Many ambulance providers operate both advanced life support (ALS) and basic life support (BLS) ambulances. Typically, only an ALS ambulance can respond to an emergency call, whereas non-urgent patient transportation requests can be served by either an ALS or a BLS ambulance. The total capacity of BLS ambulances is usually not enough to...journal article 2019

Weijs-Perrée, Minou (author), Dane, Gamze (author), van den Berg, Pauline (author), van Dorst, M.J. (author)Previous research has shown that the urban environment could influence people's behavior and wellbeing. However, little is still known about how the objective and subjective measures of the momentary experience of urban public spaces could contribute to the satisfaction with the urban environment of cities, which eventually could influence...journal article 2019

Leijsen, R.L. (author), van den Berg, Cornelis (author), Webb, A. (author), Remis, R.F. (author), Mandija, Stefano (author)Magnetic resonance electrical properties tomography (MR-EPT) is a technique used to estimate the conductivity and permittivity of tissues from MR measurements of the transmit magnetic field. Different reconstruction methods are available; however, all these methods present several limitations, which hamper the clinical applicability. Standard...journal article 2019

(author), van den Berg, Cornelis A.T. (author), Raaijmakers, Alexander J. E. (author)Purpose: Patients who have medical metallic implants, e.g. orthopaedic implants and pacemakers, often cannot undergo an MRI exam. One of the largest risks is tissue heating due to the radio frequency (RF) fields. The RF safety assessment of implants is computationally demanding. This is due to the large dimensions of the transmit coil...journal article 2019
