(author), Wimmler, Marie Christin (author), Grimm, Volker (author)Despite the increasing use of standards for documenting and testing agent-based models (ABMs) and sharing of open access code, most ABMs are still developed from scratch. This is not only inefficient, but also leads to ad hoc and often inconsistent implementations of the same theories in computational code and delays progress in the...journal article 2024

Marchiori, S. (author), Scharp, Kevin (author)Recent work on philosophy of technology emphasises the ways in which technology can disrupt our concepts and conceptual schemes. We analyse and challenge existing accounts of conceptual disruption, criticising views according to which conceptual disruption can be understood in terms of uncertainty for conceptual application, as well as views...journal article 2024

(author)The biobased-economy aims to create a circular biotechnology ecosystem to transition from a fossil fuel-based to a sustainable industry based on biomass. For this, new microbial cell-factories are essential. We present the draft genome of the CEN.PK-derived Saccharomyces cerevisiae SpyCas9 expressing strain (IMX2600), that serve as chassis of...journal article 2024

van Denderen, R. Pepijn (author), Schielen, R.M.J. (author), Paarlberg, Andries J. (author), Reneerkens, Michiel (author), Augustijn, Denie C. M. (author)Local river interventions, such as channel narrowing or side channels, are often necessary to maintain safety, ecology, or navigation. Such interventions have different effects on the river's bed morphology during periods of high- and low-discharge events. Mapping the bed-level variations for different discharge levels and understanding these...journal article 2024

Ylla Arbos, C. (author), Blom, A. (author), White, S. R. (author), Patzwahl, R. (author), Schielen, R.M.J. (author)Erosion-control measures in rivers aim to provide sufficient navigation width, reduce local erosion, or to protect neighboring communities from flooding. These measures are typically devised to solve a local problem. However, local channel modifications trigger a large-scale channel response in the form of migrating bed level and sediment...journal article 2024

Challenges and opportunities for CO2 electroreduction from a process systems engineering perspectiveDal Mas, R. (author), Somoza Tornos, A. (author), Pérez-Fortes, Mar (author), Kortlever, R. (author), Kiss, A.A. (author)Despite the huge efforts devoted to the development of the electrochemical reduction of CO2 (ECO2R) in the past decade, still many challenges are present, hindering further approaches to industrial applications. This paper gives a perspective on these challenges from a Process Systems Engineering (PSE) standpoint, while at the same time...journal article 2024
