Sorokin, Dimitry Y. (author), Chernyh, N. A. (author)Propionate can be directly oxidized anaerobically with sulfate as e-acceptor at haloalkaline conditions either incompletely to acetate (an example is Desulfobulbus alkaliphilus), or completely (for example by the members of genus Desulfonatronobacter). An enrichment with propionate at methanogenic conditions (without sulfate) inoculated with...journal article 2016

Stylianou, F. (author), Pecnik, Rene (author), Kassinos, S. C. (author)Efforts to identify and visualize near-wall structures typically focus on the region y<sup>+</sup>≳5, where large-scale structures with significant turbulent kinetic energy content reside, such as the high-speed and low-speed streaks associated with sweep and ejection events. While it is true that the level of the turbulent kinetic energy...journal article 2016

Newcamp, Jeffrey (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)Military attack aircraft are susceptible to the harmful effects of widespread fatigue damage caused by cyclic loading of structural components, which leads to airframe retirement. Modern structural health monitoring techniques use a multitude of sensors and high data collection rates. Some legacy airframes, which are most susceptible to fatigue...journal article 2016

Newcamp, Jeffrey (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)Military aircraft fleets are continuing to age despite increased structural integrity concerns and rising maintenance costs. Aircraft are not being replaced or retired in large numbers but are instead having their lives extended beyond their original design service lives. Because aging aircraft cost more to maintain, this additional burden on...conference paper 2016

Rocha, I.B.C.M. (author), Raijmaekers, S (author), Nijssen, RPL (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author)In this work, a combined experimental/numerical approach is used to investigate the effect of water ingression in glass/epoxy composite specimens. Interlaminar shear (ILS) specimens were immersed at 50◦C for multiple durations and tested. Re-dried specimens were also tested. Significant strength degradation of up to 50% was found for wet...conference paper 2016

Rocha, I.B.C.M. (author), Raijmaekers, S (author), Nijssen, RPL (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author)In this work a glass/epoxy composite commonly used in wind turbine blades is exposed to a humid environment at an elevated temperature. To research the anisotropic di_usion behaviour observed in unidirectional composite specimens, experimental results of slices cut along the three directional planes of the laminate immersed in demineralised...conference paper 2016

Simões Costa, P. (author), Picano, Francesco (author), Brandt, Luca (author), Breugem, W.P. (author)The macroscopic behavior of dense suspensions of neutrally buoyant spheres in turbulent plane channel flow is examined. We show that particles larger than the smallest turbulence scales cause the suspension to deviate from the continuum limit in which its dynamics is well described by an effective suspension viscosity. This deviation is...journal article 2016

Gurung, A. (author), Poelma, C. (author)Ultrasound imaging velocimetry (UIV) has received considerable interest as a tool to measure in non-transparent flows. So far, studies have only reported statistics for steady flows or used a qualitative approach. In this study, we demonstrate that UIV has matured to a level where accurate turbulence statistics can be obtained. The technique...journal article 2016

van der Meer, F.P. (author)The performance of a mesomechanical constitutive law for composites is assessed through comparison with micromechanical model results. In this paper, results are presented for non-monotonic strain histories obtained from mesomechanical simulation of a shear dominated delamination test.conference paper 2016

Tosti, F. (author), Benedetto, A (author), Bianchini Ciampoli, Luca (author), Lambot, S (author), Patriarca, C. (author), Slob, E.C. (author)Clay content is one of the primary causes of pavement damages, such as subgrade failures, cracks, and pavement rutting, thereby playing a crucial role in road safety issues as an indirect cause of accidents. In this paper, several ground-penetrating radar methods and analysis techniques were used to nondestructively investigate the...journal article 2016

Thoring, K.C. (author), Bellermann, Frederik (author), Mueller, Roland M. (author), Badke-Schaub, P.G. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)Emotion measurement is a vital aspect for new product development and product improvements (see e.g. P. Desmet & Schifferstein, 2012). Nowadays, new technological devices, data mining, and social media offer many opportunities to invigorate design research. This paper tries to combine both aspects by exploring the question, how new...conference paper 2016

(author)Obtaining high-quality thin films of 5d transition metal oxides is essential to explore the exotic semimetallic and topological phases predicted to arise from the combination of strong electron correlations and spin-orbit coupling. Here, we show that the transport properties of SrIrO<sub>3</sub> thin films, grown by pulsed laser deposition,...journal article 2016

Horvath, I. (author), Li, Y. (author), Rusak, Z. (author), van der Vegte, Wilhelm Frederik (author), Zhang, G (author)There are many real-life processes whose smart control requires processing context information. Though processing time-varied context information is addressed in the literature, domain-independent solutions for reasoning about time-varying process scenarios are scarce. This paper proposes a method for dynamic context computation concerning...journal article 2016

(author)Several experimental models of osteoarthritis in rats are used to study the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis. Many mechanically induced models have the limitation that permanent joint instability is induced by, for example, ligament transection or meniscal damage. This permanent instability will counteract the potential beneficial effects of...journal article 2016

Komez-Daglioglu, E. (author)Context is a crucial concept in architecture in spite of the frequent ambiguity around its use. Although the consideration of context is intrinsic to the process of architectural design, in contemporary theory, little attention is paid to it. By way of contrast, in the 1950s, various architects, theorists, and teachers cultivated several...journal article 2016
