Massaad Mouawad, J.M. (author), van Neer, P.L.M.J. (author), van Willigen, D.M. (author), Sabbadini, A. (author), de Jong, N. (author), Pertijs, M.A.P. (author), Verweij, M.D. (author)Current ultrasonic clamp-on flow meters consist of a pair of single-element transducers that are carefully positioned before use. This positioning process consists of manually finding the distance between the transducer elements, along the pipe axis, for which maximum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is achieved. This distance depends on the sound...journal article 2021

(author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author)Direct electrochemical reduction of CO2 to C2 products such as ethylene is more efficient in alkaline media, but it suffers from parasitic loss of reactants due to (bi)carbonate formation. A two-step process where the CO2 is first electrochemically reduced to CO and subsequently converted to desired C2 products has the potential to overcome...journal article 2021

de Jong, Chris P.L. (author), Remes, B.D.W. (author), Hwang, S. (author), de Wagter, C. (author)Increasing endurance is a major challenge for battery-powered aerial vehicles. A method is presented which makes use of an updraft around obstacles to decrease the power consumption of a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle. A soaring flight controller has been developed that can autonomously soar while the unmanned aerial vehicle keeps its...journal article 2021

(author), Ramdin, M. (author)Formic acid (FA) is an interesting hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) carrier that can be produced by the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) using renewable energy. The separation of FA from water is challenging due to the strong (cross)association of the components and the presence of a high boiling azeotrope. For the...journal article 2021

Wei, L. (author), Azad, Hamza (author), Haije, W.G. (author), Grenman, L.O.H. (author), de Jong, W. (author)Methanation is a potential large-scale option for CO<sub>2</sub> utilization, and it is one of the solutions for decreasing carbon emission and production of synthetic green fuels. However, the CO<sub>2</sub> conversion is limited by thermodynamics in conventional reaction conditions. However, around 100 % conversion can be obtained using...journal article 2021

(author), Verweij, M.D. (author)Acoustic wave propagation in ultrasonic flow measurements is typically assumed to be linear and reciprocal. However, if the transmitting transducer generates a sufficiently high pressure, nonlinear wave propagation effects become significant. In flow measurements, this would translate into more information to estimate the flow and therefore a...journal article 2021

Tapia, Rodrigo Javier (author), de Jong, Gerard (author), Larranaga, Ana M. (author), Bettella Cybis, Helena B. (author)There are some examples where freight choices may be of a multiple discrete nature, especially the ones at more tactical levels of planning. Nevertheless, this has not been investigated in the literature, although several discrete-continuous models for mode/vehicle type and shipment size choice have been developed in freight transport. In...journal article 2021

Ma, W. (author), de Jong, W.M. (author), Hoppe, T. (author), de Bruijne, M.L.C. (author)City promotion, city marketing and city branding are all frequently mentioned and examined in the literature on urban governance. Based on the goals and characteristics of different city branding strategies, this study identifies a growing level of sophistication from city promotion via city marketing to city branding and proposes that the...journal article 2021

Wang, B. (author), de Jong, W.M. (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author), Ersoy, A. (author), Chen, Y. (author)Most High-Speed Railway (HSR) station areas in China can be found at the urban periphery or in suburban areas, a phenomenon that has often been criticised. While debate about the influence these location choices have on the economic and sustainable development of cities rages on, little attention has been paid to the decision-making processes...journal article 2021

(author), Vos, H.J. (author)Volumetric ultrasound imaging of blood flow with microbubbles enables a more complete visualization of the microvasculature. Sparse arrays are ideal candidates to perform volumetric imaging at reduced manufacturing complexity and cable count. However, due to the small number of transducer elements, sparse arrays often come with high clutter...journal article 2021

Song, Y. (author), de Jong, W.M. (author), Stead, D. (author)China is often viewed as an emerging experimental base for transit-oriented development (TOD) practices because of its rapid urban growth and development of mass transit networks. The implementation of TOD can be heavily influenced by institutional barriers to urban growth. However, some newly emerging types of TOD practice allow planners and...journal article 2021

de Jong, Richard J. (author), de Wit, Jacco J.M. (author), Uysal, Faruk (author)In the defence and security domain, camera systems are widely used for surveillance. The major advantage of using camera systems for surveillance is that they provide high‐resolution imagery, which is easy to interpret. However, the use of camera systems and optical imagery has some drawbacks, especially for application in the military domain....journal article 2021
