(author), Parker, Geoff J.M. (author)Purpose: Tensor-valued diffusion encoding can probe more specific features of tissue microstructure than what is available by conventional diffusion weighting. In this work, we investigate the technical feasibility of tensor-valued diffusion encoding at high b-values with q-space trajectory imaging (QTI) analysis, in the human heart in vivo....journal article 2023

Agresti, A. (author)This paper is concerned with the problem of regularization by noise of systems of reaction–diffusion equations with mass control. It is known that strong solutions to such systems of PDEs may blow-up in finite time. Moreover, for many systems of practical interest, establishing whether the blow-up occurs or not is an open question. Here we...journal article 2023

Pathak, Royal (author), Spezzano, Francesca (author), Pera, M.S. (author)Social networks are a platform for individuals and organizations to connect with each other and inform, advertise, spread ideas, and ultimately influence opinions. These platforms have been known to propel misinformation. We argue that this could be compounded by the recommender algorithms that these platforms use to suggest items potentially...journal article 2023

(author), Liu, Qing feng (author)This paper develops a novel lattice diffusive model to quantitatively study the chloride diffusion coefficient in unsaturated cementitious materials, in which the pore voxels are redistributed to make a better representation of a real microstructure of hardened cement paste. Considering the hierarchical microstructure and different drying...journal article 2023

Duivenvoorden, Jorien R. (author), Kramer, Rick P. (author), van Eikema Hommes, M.H. (author), Iedema, Piet D. (author), Hermans, Joen J. (author), Keune, Katrien (author)Oil paintings are complex, multi-layered systems that are prone to chemical degradation. While it is increasingly recognised that water plays an important role in these degradation reactions, little is known about moisture concentrations in oil paint systems and their temporal variation in response to fluctuating ambient air humidity. This...journal article 2023

Agresti, A. (author), Veraar, M.C. (author)In this paper we consider a class of stochastic reaction-diffusion equations. We provide local well-posedness, regularity, blow-up criteria and positivity of solutions. The key novelties of this work are related to the use transport noise, critical spaces and the proof of higher order regularity of solutions – even in case of non-smooth...journal article 2023

(author)Electrochemical CO<sub>2</sub> reduction poses a promising pathway to produce hydrocarbon chemicals and fuels without relying on fossil fuels. Gas diffusion electrodes allow high selectivity for desired carbon products at high current density by ensuring a sufficient CO<sub>2</sub> mass transfer rate to the catalyst layer. In addition to CO...journal article 2023

(author)In recent years, quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as bright, color-tunable light sources for various applications such as light-emitting devices, lasing, and bioimaging. One important next step to advance their applicability is to reduce particle-to-particle variations of the emission properties as well as fluctuations of a single QD’s...journal article 2023

Moazzami, Mostafa (author), Ayatollahi, M. R. (author), Akhavan-Safar, Alireza (author), Teixeira De Freitas, S. (author), da Silva, Lucas F.M. (author)When a composite laminate is subjected to humidity, moisture diffusion occurs depending on the number and thickness of the lamina. Water diffusion changes the mechanical response of laminates and usually causes a significant reduction of the mechanical properties of the composite specimens in ocean structures. One of the most important...journal article 2023

Qin, Xi (author), Zhong, Cheng (author), Lin, H.X. (author)Influence maximization (IM) is a very important issue in social network diffusion analysis. The topology of real social network is large-scale, dynamic, and heterogeneous. The heterogeneity, and continuous expansion and evolution of social network pose a challenge to find influential users. Existing IM algorithms usually assume that social...journal article 2023

Aghaeian, S. (author), Brouwer, J.C. (author), Sloof, W.G. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author), Bottger, A.J. (author)Since the oxidation reactions in the process of steel production occur in harsh conditions (i.e., high temperatures and gas atmospheres), it is practically impossible to observe in situ the compositional changes in the steel and the formed oxide scale. Hence, a coupled thermodynamic-kinetic numerical model is developed that predicts the...journal article 2023
