Moriaux, Olivier (author)Unsteady surface pressures shed light on the turbulent structures of boundary layer flow, which dictate for a large part the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic performance of aerodynamic bodies submersed in a flow. Remote microphone probes (RMP), e.g., pinhole probes, provide advantages compared to flush-mounted probes because of their reduced sensing...master thesis 2023

Calderon Franco, D. (author)Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats to global health, food security, and development today, leading to a growing number of difficult-to-treat infections and an economic burden. It can affect anyone of any age and in any country. It is mainly accelerated by the misuse and abuse of antibiotics, poor hygiene, and a lack of...doctoral thesis 2023

Mourragui, S.M.C. (author)Extensive efforts in cancer research over the past decades have markedly improved diagnosis and treatments, leading to better outcomes for cancer patients. Paradoxically, however, these discoveries have begun to shed light on a level of complexity that rules out the emergence of a universal cancer treatment. As any tumor is now known to be...doctoral thesis 2023

QIU, Haodong (author)Hybrid structures consisting of FRP(fiber reinforce polymer) composite decks<br/>connected to a steel girder superstructure are gaining more attention by combining the stiffness of steel members with good fatigue endurance and high strength to weight ratio of FRP. However, when composite material FRP is exposed to elevated temperature,...master thesis 2023

Cupać, Jagoda (author), Louter, P.C. (author), Nussbaumer, Alain (author)In the evolution of structural glass beam elements, the requirements for post-fracture load bearing capacity and safe failure behaviour have led to the development of reinforced and post-tensioned beams. Maximum bending capacity in the post-fracture state is normally associated with extensive yielding of the reinforcement, providing a safe...journal article 2023

Wang, J. (author), Yan, Xin ping (author), Boersma, B.J. (author), Lu, Ming jian (author), Liu, Xiaohua (author)Printed circuit heat exchangers (PCHE) are designed to improve heat recovery and energy saving in supercritical CO<sub>2</sub> (S-CO<sub>2</sub>) power cycles. In the current study, a modified channel PCHE is proposed based on the regular straight channel and a zigzag channel. The thermal–hydraulic performance of four different types of PCHE...journal article 2023

Noel, L.F.P. (author), Maute, K. (author)Solving conjugate heat transfer design problems is relevant for various engineering applications requiring efficient thermal management. Heat exchange between fluid and solid can be enhanced by optimizing the system layout and the shape of the flow channels. As heat is transferred at fluid/solid interfaces, it is crucial to accurately resolve...journal article 2023

(author)Ytterbium-doped LiYF4 (Yb:YLF) is a commonly used material for laser applications, as a photon upconversion medium, and for optical refrigeration. As nanocrystals (NCs), the material is also of interest for biological and physical applications. Unfortunately, as with most phosphors, with the reduction in size comes a large reduction of the...journal article 2023

Shi, S. (author), Cheng, Xiaodong (author), Van den Hof, Paul M.J. (author)Identifiability of a single module in a network of transfer functions is determined by whether a particular transfer function in the network can be uniquely distinguished within a network model set, on the basis of data. Whereas previous research has focused on the situations that all network signals are either excited or measured, we develop...journal article 2023

Opolot, Michael (author), Zhao, Chunrong (author), Keane, Partrick F. (author), Liu, Ming (author), Mancin, Simone (author), Bruno, Frank (author), Hooman, K. (author)Thermal energy storage is increasingly needed in a sustainable world because of its potential of capturing waste heat and being incorporated in solar power plants. For power generation, in particular, as turbine technology advances, a demand for higher temperature thermal energy storage materials also grows. For this purpose, latent thermal...journal article 2023
