Nedeljković, Marija (author), Visser, Jeanette (author), Nijland, Timo G. (author), Valcke, Siska (author), Schlangen, E. (author)In circular concrete design, beside cement replacement with more environmentally friendly cement types, there is also an urgent need for sand replacement with fine recycled concrete aggregates (fRCA). The variations in physical and chemical properties of fRCA and lack of standards for their quality evaluation are the main reasons for not yet...journal article 2021

Irmak, T. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Happee, R. (author)We investigated and modeled the temporal evolution of motion sickness in a highly dynamic sickening drive. Slalom maneuvers were performed in a passenger vehicle, resulting in lateral accelerations of 0.4 g at 0.2 Hz, to which participants were subjected as passengers for up to 30 min. Subjective motion sickness was recorded throughout the...journal article 2020

(author), Noji, Hiroyuki (author)The rotation of Paracoccus denitrificans F<sub>1</sub>-ATPase (PdF<sub>1</sub>) was studied using single-molecule microscopy. At all concentrations of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or a slowly hydrolyzable ATP analog (ATPγS), above or below K<sub>m</sub>, PdF1 showed three dwells per turn, each separated by 120°. Analysis of dwell time between...journal article 2020

Hajian, Christopher Sarkizi Shams (author), Haringa, C. (author), Noorman, H.J. (author), Takors, Ralf (author)Scaling up bioprocesses is one of the most crucial steps in the commercialization of bioproducts. While it is known that concentration and shear rate gradients occur at larger scales, it is often too risky, if feasible at all, to conduct validation experiments at such scales. Using computational fluid dynamics equipped with mechanistic...journal article 2020

Shekhar, A. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Wu, Y. (author), Bauer, P. (author)DC links with back to back voltage source converters are usually built alongside the existing medium voltage ac distribution grids for infrastructure reinforcement. The distribution network operators need to run multiple of such parallel ac and dc links between two substations at optimal efficiency. This article shows that the active power...journal article 2021

(author), Wagemaker, M. (author), Eichel, Rüdiger A. (author)High-fidelity and facile ex situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterization of lithium−oxygen (Li−O<sub>2</sub>) batteries is still limited by challenges in preserving the native environment of Li−O<sub>2</sub> discharge products. The extreme reactivity and moisture sensitivity of the discharge products means that they are...journal article 2020

Ann, B. (author), Steele, G.A. (author)Superconducting cavities with high quality factors play an essential role in circuit quantum electrodynamics and quantum computing. In measurements of the intrinsic loss rates of high frequency modes, it can be challenging to design an appropriate coupling to the measurement circuit in such a way that the resulting signal is sufficiently...journal article 2020

Jin, J. (author), Segers, Arjo (author), Liao, Hong (author), Heemink, A.W. (author), Kranenburg, Richard (author), Lin, H.X. (author)Emission inversion using data assimilation fundamentally relies on having the correct assumptions about the emission background error covariance. A perfect covariance accounts for the uncertainty based on prior knowledge and is able to explain differences between model simulations and observations. In practice, emission uncertainties are...journal article 2020

Zhang, Z. (author), Zhang, Dezhi (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Li, Qinglin (author)In this study, we demonstrate the importance of incorporating shippers’ preference heterogeneity into the optimization of the China Railway express network. In particular, a bilevel programming model is established to minimize the total construction cost for the government in the upper level and maximize the shippers’ satisfaction in the...journal article 2020

Cheng, L. (author), Xin, H. (author), Groves, R.M. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author)Acoustic emission (AE) is often used for structural health monitoring (SHM) in the wide field of engineering structures and one of its most beneficial attributes is the ability to localize the damage/crack based on the AE events. The vast majority of ongoing work on AE monitoring focues on geometrically simple structures or a confined area,...journal article 2021

Shettigar, Nithin Achutha (author), Bhattacharya, Biswa (author), Mészáros, L. (author), Spinosa, A. (author), El Serafy, G.Y.H. (author)During the past decades, the aquaculture industry has developed rapidly, due to drop in wild fish catch. Water quality variables play major role in aquaculture operations, specifically seawater temperature has major impact on the metabolism of the fish species and therefore on the growth rate too. Since the fish farming business relies on the...journal article 2020

Ajorloo, Abdollah (author), Amini, Arash (author), Tohidi, Ehsan (author), Bastani, Mohammad Hassan (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)Compressive sensing (CS) has been widely used in multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radar in recent years. Unlike traditional MIMO radar, detection/estimation of targets in a CS-based MIMO radar is accomplished via sparse recovery. In this article, for a CS-based colocated MIMO radar with linear arrays, we attempt to improve the target...journal article 2020
