Dubey, S.K. (author), Cats, O. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Bansal, Prateek (author)Several non-linear functions and machine learning methods have been developed for flexible specification of the systematic utility in discrete choice models. However, they lack interpretability, do not ensure monotonicity conditions, and restrict substitution patterns. We address the first two challenges by modeling the systematic utility...journal article 2022

Helmons, R.L.J. (author), de Wit, Lynyrd (author), de Stigter, Henko (author), Spearman, Jeremy (author)Over the past decade, deep-sea mining (DSM) has received renewed interest due to scarcity of raw materials. Deep-sea mining has been spurred by the need for critical resources to support growing populations, urbanization, high-tech applications and the development of a green energy economy. Nevertheless, an improved understanding of how mining...review 2022

Guo, Y. (author), Shi, Can (author), Zhao, Chunfa (author), Markine, V.L. (author), Jing, Guoqing (author)Crumb rubber (CR) has been proposed to apply in the ballast or sub-ballast layer for ballast degradation mitigation and vibration (noise) reduction. The CR can change the ballast layer stiffness, which can affect the train-track-subgrade dynamic performance and cause travel comfort and safety issues. Towards this, this study aims at...journal article 2022

Canbaloğlu, Gülay (author), Treur, J. (author)In this paper, equilibrium analysis for network models is addressed and applied in particular to a network model of multilevel organisational learning. The equilibrium analysis addresses properties of aggregation characteristics and connectivity characteristics of a network. For aggregation characteristics, it is shown how certain classes of...journal article 2022

Liu, C. (author), Yang, Lu (author), Li, Z. (author), Nie, Shuai (author), Hu, Chuanlin (author), Wang, Fazhou (author)Due to the satisfactory property and high productivity, heat-cured concretes have been widely used in engineering practice. However, heat curing process also brings some drawbacks that are detrimental to the long-term property of this material. To address this issue, lightweight fine aggregate (LWFA) was employed to provide internal curing ...journal article 2022

Niu, D. (author), Zhang, Zhao (author), Meng, Jiandang (author), Yang, Zhengxian (author), Jing, R. (author), Liu, X. (author), Lin, P. (author), Sheng, Yanping (author)The proper disposal of steel slag has always been a great challenge for the metallurgical industry in China and around the world. In this work, the steel slag aggregate (SSA) was surface pretreated (PSSA) and applied into asphalt mixture. The adhesive behavior between the bitumen and five different types of aggregates (i.e., limestone, diorite,...journal article 2022

Kamphorst, R. (author), Wu, K. (author), Salameh, S. (author), Meesters, G.M.H. (author), van Ommen, J.R. (author)The fluidization of cohesive powders has been extensively researched over the years. When looking at literature on the fluidization of cohesive particles, one will often find papers concerned with only micro- or only nano-sized powders. It is, however, unclear whether they should be treated differently at all. In this paper, we look at...journal article 2022

Deng, Zhirui (author), Huang, Dong (author), He, Qing (author), Chassagne, C. (author)Sediment is found throughout the world’s alluvial plain rivers, estuarine coasts and adjacent seas and is thereby a key factor in major ecosystems. Suspended mineral sediment can affect the biological activity of microorganisms and plants, by reducing light penetration in the water column or by binding to organic matter. Biological processes...review 2022

Neves Sao Pedro, M. (author), Silva dos Santos, M. (author), Eppink, Michel H.M. (author), Ottens, M. (author)A major challenge in the transition to continuous biomanufacturing is the lack of process analytical technology (PAT) tools which are able to collect real-time information on the process and elicit a response to facilitate control. One of the critical quality attributes (CQAs) of interest during monoclonal antibodies production is aggregate...journal article 2022

Nasrulin, B. (author), Ishmaev, G. (author), Pouwelse, J.A. (author)Decentralized reputation schemes present a promising area of experimentation in blockchain applications. These solutions aim to overcome the shortcomings of simple monetary incentive mechanisms of naive tokenomics. However, there is a significant research gap regarding the limitations and benefits of such solutions. We formulate these trade-offs...conference paper 2022

(author), Qomaruddin, Mochammad (author), Sugianto, Felix Hariyanto (author), Lie, Han Ay (author)Asphalt pavement consists of aggregates resulting in a waste material at end of its life. The aggregates can be reused as basic material for asphalt or cementitious binding agents. In both scenarios, the recycled aggregates should provide a good bond with the binder to achieve strength. This study focuses on reusing recycled asphalt...journal article 2022
