Gomaz, L. (author), van Trigt, B. (author), van der Meulen, F.H. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author)The baseball pitch is a repetitive, full-body throwing motion that exposes the elbow to significant loads, leading to a high incidence of elbow injuries. Elbow injuries in pitching are often attributed to high external valgus torques as these are generally considered to be a good proxy for the load on the Ulnar Collateral Ligament. The aim of...journal article 2024

van der Meulen, P.Q. (author)Whereas aberrating layers are typically viewed as an impediment to medical ultrasound imaging, they can, surprisingly, also be used to our benefit. As long as we can model the effect of an aberrating layer, we can utilize ‘model-based imaging’, the imaging technique explored throughout this thesis, to reconstruct ultrasound images where...doctoral thesis 2023

Adatrao, S. (author), van der Velden, S. (author), van der Meulen, Mark-Jan (author), Cruellas Bordes, Marc (author), Sciacchitano, A. (author)A statistical tool called design of experiments (DOEs) is introduced for uncertainty quantification in particle image velocimetry (PIV). DOE allows to quantify the total uncertainty as well as the systematic uncertainties arising from various experimental factors. The approach is based on measuring a quantity (e.g. time-averaged velocity or...journal article 2023

van der Meulen, G.J.M. (author), Mishra, Gargi (author), van Dorst, M.J. (author), Iyer, Mona (author), Kuzniecow Bacchin, T. (author)In rapidly growing urban contexts, water plays a pivotal role in the transitions the urban environment goes through to sustain the quality of life of its population. Spatial planning and design are essential for the facilitation and manifestation of such transitions. Focusing on Bhuj, a rapidly growing Indian city in a hot arid desert climate,...journal article 2023

van der Meulen, G.J.M. (author)Outdated, updated, or not, the Brandt Line continues to provide a divide between ‘North’ and ‘South’, suggesting a dichotomy between the world’s ‘developed’ and ‘developing’ regions, respectively. To reduce the contrast between the two, and in response to the challenges posed by urban growth and climate crisis projections globally, the Water...conference paper 2023

van der Meulen, P.Q. (author), Coutino, Mario (author), Bosch, Johannes G. (author), Kruizinga, P. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)We consider the scenario of finding the transfer function of an aberrating layer in front of a receiving ultrasound (US) array, assuming a separate non-aberrated transmit source. We propose a method for blindly estimating this transfer function without exact knowledge of the ultrasound sources or acoustic contrast image, and without directly...journal article 2023

van Aalst, A.C.A. (author), van der Meulen, Igor S. (author), Jansen, Mickel L.A. (author), Mans, R. (author), Pronk, J.T. (author)Glycerol is the major organic byproduct of industrial ethanol production with the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Improved ethanol yields have been achieved with engineered S. cerevisiae strains in which heterologous pathways replace glycerol formation as the predominant mechanism for anaerobic re-oxidation of surplus NADH generated in...journal article 2023

Bierkens, G.N.J.C. (author), Grazzi, S. (author), van der Meulen, F.H. (author), Schauer, M.R. (author)We construct a new class of efficient Monte Carlo methods based on continuous-time piecewise deterministic Markov processes (PDMPs) suitable for inference in high dimensional sparse models, i.e. models for which there is prior knowledge that many coordinates are likely to be exactly 0. This is achieved with the fairly simple idea of endowing...journal article 2023

(author), van der Meulen, Bas (author), Herget, Jürgen (author), Hulscher, Suzanne J.M.H. (author)Reconstructions of the most severe historic flood events contribute to improved quantification of design discharges corresponding to large return periods. Reducing the uncertainty of design discharges has a great significance in constructing proper flood defences to protect the hinterland from future flooding. However, reconstructions of the...journal article 2023

van der Meulen, M.B. (author)Creatief schrijven is een bijzonder complexe vaardigheid. Het gebruikt je voorstellingsvermogen, herinneringen en fantasie. Tegelijkertijd vergt het veel van je woordenschat en uitdrukkingsvaardigheid om je mentale voorstelling op papier te krijgen. Maar gelukkig is creatief schrijven ook gemakkelijk te leren: het is een kwestie van herhalen en...journal article 2022

Corstanje, M.A. (author), van der Meulen, F.H. (author), Schauer, M.R. (author)A continuous-time Markov process X can be conditioned to be in a given state at a fixed time T>0 using Doob's h-transform. This transform requires the typically intractable transition density of X. The effect of the h-transform can be described as introducing a guiding force on the process. Replacing this force with an approximation...journal article 2022

With increasing demand for human use functions, improved insight is required into the functional quality of these waters. A method to assess this functional quality in a systematic way and for a wide variety of use functions is not available. We propose to use suitability indices (SIs) for...journal article 2022

Hageman, R.B. (author), van der Meulen, F.H. (author), Rouhan, A. (author), Kaminski, M.L. (author)In order to obtain valuable information from an Hull Structure Monitoring system, a large data set and consistent analysis of that data is required. The monitoring requires significant efforts over multiple years and as a result, uncertainties obtained from in-service measurements are rarely published. Instead, researchers have to rely on...journal article 2022

(author)Canals and canalized rivers form a major part of surface water systems in European delta cities and societal ambitions to use these waters increase. This is the first assessment of how suitability of these waters can improve for three important uses: transportation, thermal energy extraction (TEE) and recreation. We assess suitability with...journal article 2022

van Nispen, K. (author), Sekine, Kazuki (author), van der Meulen, Ineke (author), Preisig, Basil C. (author)Co-speech hand gestures are an ubiquitous form of nonverbal communication, which can express additional information that is not present in speech. Hand gestures may become more relevant when verbal production is impaired, as in speakers with post-stroke aphasia. In fact, speakers with aphasia produce more gestures than non-brain damaged speakers...journal article 2022

The notion of geodesic paths between shapes is central to shape analysis and has a natural generalization as diffusion bridges in a stochastic setting. Simulation of such bridges is key to...journal article 2022
