Wijs, R. J.A. (author), Nane, G.F. (author), Leontaris, G. (author), Van Manen, T. R.W. (author), Wolfert, A.R.M. (author)Utility operators must rely on predictive analyses regarding the availability of their subsurface assets, which highly depend on damage by increasing amounts of excavation work. However, straightforward use of standard statistical techniques, such as logistic regression or Bayesian logistic regression, does not allow for accurate predictions...journal article 2020

Farajzadeh, R. (author), Eftekhari, A. A. (author), Dafnomilis, I. (author), Lake, L. W. (author), Bruining, J. (author)This work uses pilot examples of CO<sub>2</sub> enhanced oil recovery to analyze whether and under which circumstances it is exergetically favorable to sequester CO<sub>2</sub> through enhanced oil recovery. We find that the net storage efficiency (ratio between the stored and captured CO<sub>2</sub>) of the carbon capture and storage (CCS)...journal article 2020

(author), Claessens, T.P.T. (author), Vos, H.J. (author), Kenjeres, S. (author), Bosch, J.W. (author)Left ventricular (LV) blood flow is an inherently complex time-varying 3-D phenomenon, where 2-D quantification often ignores the effect of out-of-plane motion. In this study, we describe high frame rate 4-D echocardiographic particle image velocimetry (echo-PIV) using a prototype matrix transesophageal transducer and a dynamic LV phantom for...journal article 2020

Lagendijk, Arnoud (author), Hillebrand, Bas (author), Kalmár, É. (author), van Marion, I. (author), van der Sanden, M.C.A. (author)Blockchain emerged as a well-defined technological object with limited applicability applications (e.g. Bitcoin). Embraced by more and more ‘stakeholders’, Blockchain has turned into a bounty of possibilities and promises. This raises the question whether Blockchain is turning into an overextending, affective ‘hyperobject’. Adopting a post...journal article 2019

(author)Background<br/><br/>Corneal endothelium (CE) images provide valuable clinical information regarding the health state of the cornea. Computation of the clinical morphometric parameters requires the segmentation of endothelial cell images.

(author), Gascon, Jorge (author)The catalytic performance of the bifunctional catalyst Mo/HZSM-5 for methane dehydroaromatization (MDA) depends on the Mo dispersion and on zeolite acidity. Here we separately quantify the effect of dispersion and the effect of acidity on aromatic yields and coke selectivity. Also, the effect of porosity on the same is quantitatively...journal article 2019

Jansen, E. (author), Pereira Machado, J.D. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author)We consider an electromechanical system in which a microwave cavity is coupled to a mechanical resonator, with a mechanical frequency twice the microwave frequency. In this regime, the effective photon-phonon interaction is equivalent to that of a degenerate parametric amplifier, instead of the typical radiation pressure interaction. If the...journal article 2019
