Ganchrow, R. (author)Sounds always occur ‘somewhere’, endowed with specific material ‘qualities’ that also indicate courses of action. Spatio-temporal qualities of sound, the contexts they enmesh, together with the attentions they sustain and actions they enfold, collectively constitute dynamic systems termed ‘circuits’. This research investigates the circuits...doctoral thesis 2024

Abbady, Hnady (author)Expansion microscopy (ExM) is a new approach to super-resolution that relies on the physical isotropic expansion of a sample in a swellable polymer network. We developed a novel ExM method termed Sevenfold Post-labelling Expansion Microscopy (SP-ExM) that enables sevenfold expansion in a single step of thick cerebellar mouse brain and human...master thesis 2024

Jain, A. (author), Marykovskiy, Yuriy (author), Metrikine, A. (author), van Dalen, K.N. (author)Railway transition zones (RTZs) are regions where abrupt track stiffness changes occur that may lead to dynamic amplifications and subsequent track deterioration. The design challenges for these zones arise due to variations in material properties in both the depth (trackbed layers composed of different materials) and longitudinal directions of...journal article 2024

Sood, A. (author), Schimmel, Jim (author), Bosman, Marko (author), Goulas, Constantinos (author), Popovich, V. (author), Hermans, M.J.M. (author)The binary Fe–Ni system offers alloys with notably low linear coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE), contingent upon their Ni content. In this respect twin-wire arc additive manufacturing (T-WAAM) presents the opportunity of in-situ alloying through the simultaneous feeding of two metal wires into a weld pool to obtain desired alloy...journal article 2024

(author), van der Meer, Walter (author), Liu, G. (author)This study assessed the evolution of wastewater systems during the rapid urbanization of Beijing, with special focuses on the carbon footprints and growing underground WWTPs (u-WWTPs). Specifically, the Bishui plant (in situ constructed u-WWTP) was assessed in detail regarding eco-environmental benefits. Our results showed that, the direct...journal article 2024

Conte, Riccardo (author), Zanetti, E. (author), Tancon, Marco (author), Azzolin, Marco (author), Girotto, Sergio (author), Del Col, Davide (author)Dual-source solar-air heat pumps represent a promising solution for overcoming the limitations associated with single-source utilization, thereby enhancing heat pump performance. However, running the heat pump by alternatively employing the more advantageous source requires the integration of a controller capable of continuously monitoring...journal article 2024

Handika Sandra Dewi, H.S. (author), Dissanayake, K.P.W. (author), Schreuders, H. (author), Bannenberg, L.J. (author), Groves, R.M. (author)Palladium thin films have been studied as hydrogen sensing materials and applied to variety of optical hydrogen sensors. Recently, tantalum has emerged as an attractive option for hydrogen sensing materials due to its broad sensing range and flexibility in tuning the sensing range by modifying the alloying composition or elements. Following...conference paper 2024

La Poutré, Luc (author), Bryan, Jesper (author), Damen, Kim (author), Dekker, Deborah (author), Scholte, Josephine (author), Witmer, Benjamin (author)Playa Unión and Puerto Rawson are facing severe coastal erosion and increasingly the negative effects. Since the first half of the 20th century there have been signs of erosion, but also of sedimentation. However, the coastline in the project area is retreating over the years. The situation has recently been declared an emergency. Furthermore,...student report 2023

Halman, Daniel (author)The urban area of Dakar (Senegal) is growing in its extents and population. Necessities to facilitate this growth include social, economic, environmental and governmental planning. Currently, underprivileged groups are not sufficiently included in large scale urban development plans by the public sector (Cissé, 2022 - p. 47). This paper analyses...master thesis 2023

de Groot, Hugo (author)The salinity profile in a coastal sea-river system is the result of balancing of salt transport due to mixing of the water by tides and the freshwater discharge from the river. When for example during times of drought freshwater discharge suddenly declines, the salinity in the river may increase significantly and threaten drinking water supplies...bachelor thesis 2023

Chang, Nicole (author)The coast of Paramaribo is predicted to undergo urban expansion due to the growing population of Paramaribo. However, the coast has to do with several challenges; tidal- and urban flooding and coastal erosion. This does not make the coast the most habitable place for urban expansion. The urban, water and soil systems are not functioning in...master thesis 2023

Koppert, Reint (author)Scatterometry is a non-destructive metrology technique widely used in the semiconductor industry for the reconstruction of periodic structures from diffraction measurements. This involves solving a so-called inverse problem, which can be done by tuning the geometry parameters of a forward model such that the discrepancy between the measured...student report 2023
