Le, Quan H. (author), Verheijen, Peter J.T. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Volcke, Eveline I.P. (author)This study deals with the application of data reconciliation to wastewater treatment processes which are subject to dynamic conditions and therefore do not reach a steady-state behaviour sensu stricto. The SHARON partial nitritation process, which is operated cyclically with alternating aerated and anoxic periods, is studied as an example....journal article 2022

Jánoska, A. (author), Verheijen, Jelle J. (author), Tang, W. (author), Lee, Queenie (author), Sikkema, Baukje (author), van Gulik, W.M. (author)In large-scale bioreactors, there is often insufficient mixing and as a consequence, cells experience uneven substrate and oxygen levels that influence product formation. In this study, the influence of dissolved oxygen (DO) gradients on the primary and secondary metabolism of a high producing industrial strain of Penicillium chrysogenum was...journal article 2022

(author)We show a hard superconducting gap in a Ge-Si nanowire Josephson transistor up to in-plane magnetic fields of 250 mT, an important step toward creating and detecting Majorana zero modes in this system. A hard gap requires a highly homogeneous tunneling heterointerface between the superconducting contacts and the semiconducting nanowire. This...journal article 2020

Das (author), Kouwenhoven, Leo P. (author)Majorana zero-modes - a type of localized quasiparticle - hold great promise for topological quantum computing. Tunnelling spectroscopy in electrical transport is the primary tool for identifying the presence of Majorana zero-modes, for instance as a zero-bias peak in differential conductance. The height of the Majorana zero-bias peak is...journal article 2018
