Mommersteeg, Aart (author)The sentinel lymph node biopsy procedure for melanoma patients can be improved with the use of a minimally invasive sentinel lymph node biopsy device. This thesis shows the early stage designing process of such a device, which can reduce overall tissue damage and opens up possibilities to remove the need for general anaesthesia and therefore the...master thesis 2024

Knevels, Tuur (author)In the scope of global decarbonisation, hydrogen has been identified as an essential energy carrier. Not only as an energy storage solution for further electrification in vehicles but also as a primary fuel source in processes that rely on chemical energy which cannot be easily electrified. However, at ambient conditions, hydrogen is also a very...master thesis 2024

Murray, Maria (author), Slingerland, G. (author), Pantidi, Nadia (author), McCarthy, John (author)The rapidly expanding rural community (often called rurban) is a new place for CSCW with unique sociogeographic characteristics that give rise to the need for adapted participatory practices. Socially Engaged Art (SEA) offers pluralistic and critical approaches to participative rurban CSCW to meet this need. This paper provides a case study of...journal article 2024

Al Radi, Ali (author)Variable green energy sources were sought to supply the growing demand for energy without impacting the environment. Wind and solar energy are at the forefront of the energy transition. However, their intermittent nature poses a challenge that necessitates the development of energy storage technologies. <br/>Several technologies were studied...master thesis 2023

Nijssen, Tim M.J. (author), Padding, J.T. (author), Ottens, M. (author)The hydrodynamics of the Expanded Bed Adsorption process is studied through simulations combining Computational Fluid Dynamics and the Discrete Element Method. A representative base case is defined, based on process design parameters commonly encountered in literature. Then, 19 other cases are defined, each representing a singular adjustment...journal article 2023

Ek, Sovannmonica (author)Pulp and paper industries are water-intensive industries and composed of complex production processes. Untreated pulping wastewater is very toxic and lethal to aquatic life if discharged untreated. Anaerobic treatment technology has gained interest in treating these types of wastewater by reducing organic compounds. This thesis research aimed to...master thesis 2022

de Jager, Thomas (author)The upcoming Shaft Actuated Tip Articulated Low Resource Settings (SATA-LRS) platform is in need of a novel design of a strong, foldable beak able to close in parallel. Steerable instruments for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) are used more often but still have some limitations. The end-effectors used are v-shaped, causing...master thesis 2022

Das, B. (author), Isufi, E. (author)Performing signal processing over graphs requires knowledge of the underlying fixed topology. However, graphs often grow in size with new nodes appearing over time, whose connectivity is typically unknown; hence, making more challenging the downstream tasks in applications like cold start recommendation. We address such a challenge for signal...conference paper 2022

Fernando Foncillas, C. (author), Cabrera Rodriguez, C.I. (author), Caparrós-Salvador, Francisco (author), Varrone, Cristiano (author), Straathof, Adrie J.J. (author)The aim of this work was to recover a mixture of carboxylates ranging from 2 to 7 carbon atoms using a strong anion exchange resin, followed by desorption with CO<sub>2</sub>-expanded methanol. Medium chain carboxylates hexanoate and heptanoate adsorbed better than acetate, and the corresponding medium chain carboxylic acids desorbed easier...journal article 2021

Veeger, M.I.A. (author), Ottele, M. (author), Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author)Increased urbanisation will put an increasing strain on our green spaces, which is expected to have a significant effect on our physical and mental health, as well as the health of our ecosystems. As such it is important to integrate more green spaces in our urban fabric. One way of doing this is by making use of so-called bioreceptive concrete...journal article 2021

Rahbari, A. (author), Hens, R. (author), Ramdin, M. (author), Moultos, O. (author), Dubbeldam, D. (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author)In this paper, we review recent advances in the Continuous Fractional Component Monte Carlo (CFCMC) methodology and present a historic overview of the most important developments that have led to this method. The CFCMC method has gained attention for Monte Carlo simulations of adsorption at high loading, and phase and reaction equilibria of...journal article 2020

Brouwer, Max (author)Expanded Criteria Donor (ECD) organs are being used more often in clinical setting. The regenerative ability of the organs might be able to restore the organ to full functionality ex vivo. For long term kidney stabilization, optimization and monitoring an organ incubator is preferable. However, it is unclear which available parts would work best...master thesis 2019

Rahbari, A. (author), Hens, R. (author), Dubbeldam, D. (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author)The CFCMC simulation methodology considers an expanded ensemble to solve the problem of low insertion/deletion acceptance probabilities in open ensembles. It allows for a direct calculation of the chemical potential by binning of the coupling parameter λ and using the probabilities p(λ = 0) and p(λ = 1), which require extrapolation. Here, we...journal article 2019

Zhang, Jinxiong (author), Zhong, Cheng (author), Huang, Yiran (author), Lin, H.X. (author), Wang, Mian (author)Identifying protein complexes in static protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks is essential for understanding the underlying mechanism of biological processes. Proteins in a complex are co-localized at the same place and co-expressed at the same time. We propose a novel method to identify protein complexes with the features of joint co...journal article 2019

(author)Production of bio-based acetate is commonly hindered by the high costs of the downstream processing. In this paper, a model is developed to describe a new method that recovers acetate salts using anion exchange resins, and subsequently desorbs and upgrades them using CO<sub>2</sub>-expanded alcohol. The model consists of equilibrium...journal article 2018

Willemse, Joost (author)Shell is working on mono-diameter drilling (MOD). A MOD well, or MOD well section, has a (nearly) constant diameter over several sections. This is achieved by deploying expandable liners: a liner is lowered into position and is expanded by pulling an over-sized cone through it. This plasticly deforms the pipe, increasing its inner diameter to...master thesis 2018

van Gemert, Sander (author)When drilling for oil or gas, wells are typically constructed using a conventional or telescopic well design. After a section of the well has been drilled, a steel casing (or liner) is inserted into the hole preventing the collapse of the hole. The next well section has a smaller diameter as it’s casing must pass through the previously installed...master thesis 2017

Smit, Sam (author)Microfluidics has changed the way we think about laboratory experimental design. With the use of lab-on-chip devices, we are capable of carrying out experiments that include several functions on a single chip. Despite a lot of progress in the miniaturization of these devices, the peripheral systems which control the microfluidic functionalities...master thesis 2017

Kampinga, C.A. (author)Increasing the use of bamboo will intensify local bamboo plantation and thereby the purification of the air and filtration of the soil. New ways of using bamboo in Indonesian kampungs will uplift the image of bamboo as a ‘poor mans building material’ towards a ‘sustainable self-building material’. Integrating the use of bamboo with the tendency...master thesis 2016
