Lasala, Silvia (author), Samukov, Konstantin (author), Polat, H.M. (author), Lachet, Véronique (author), Herbinet, Olivier (author), Privat, Romain (author), Jaubert, Jean Noël (author), Moultos, O. (author), De Ras, Kevin (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author)The use of reactive working fluids in thermodynamic cycles is currently being considered as an alternative to inert working fluids, because of the preliminarily attested higher energy-efficiency potential. The current needs to simulate their use in thermodynamic cycles, which may operate in liquid, vapour or vapour-liquid state, are an...journal article 2024

Polat, H.M. (author), Lasala, Silvia (author), De Meyer, Frédérick (author), Houriez, Céline (author), Moultos, O. (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author)We explore the impact of force field parameters and reaction equilibrium on the scaling behavior towards the critical point in reactive binary systems, focusing on NO <sub>2</sub>/N <sub>2</sub>O <sub>4</sub>. This system can be considered as a special single-component system since NO <sub>2</sub> and N <sub>2</sub>O <sub>4</sub> are in...journal article 2024

Amini Hounejani, R. (author)The past decades have seen the rapid development of many aspects of synthetic biology. For example, attempts to build synthetic cells under controlled conditions in the laboratory have led to significant achievements. Following a bottom-up approach, scientists aim at building a self-reproducing synthetic cell with a minimum number of biological...doctoral thesis 2023

Vergara Barrios, P.P. (author), Giraldo, Juan S. (author), Salazar, Mauricio (author), Panda, Nanda Kishor (author), Nguyen, Phuong H. (author)A photovoltaic (PV)-rich low-voltage (LV) distribution network poses a limit on the export power of PVs due to the voltage magnitude constraints. By defining a customer export limit, switching off the PV inverters can be avoided, and thus reducing power curtailment. Based on this, this paper proposes a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP)...journal article 2023

Egberts, G. (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author), van Zuijlen, Paul (author)Severe burn injuries often lead to skin contraction, leading to stresses in and around the damaged skin region. If this contraction leads to impaired joint mobility, one speaks of contracture. To optimize treatment, a mathematical model, that is based on finite element methods, is developed. Since the finite element-based simulation of skin...journal article 2023

Seyed Salehi, H. (author)In this thesis, thermodynamic and structural properties of different deep eutectic solvent (DESs), and mixtures of DESs with gases or water, were computed using the state-of-the-art molecular simulations and computational methods. Discussions were presented on the influence of the intermolecular interactions and liquid structure of DESs on...doctoral thesis 2022

Egberts, G. (author), Schaaphok, Marianne (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author), Zuijlen, Paul van (author)Burn injuries can decrease the quality of life of a patient tremendously, because of esthetic reasons and because of contractions that result from them. In severe case, skin contraction takes place at such a large extent that joint mobility of a patient is significantly inhibited. In these cases, one refers to a contracture. In order to...journal article 2022

(author)Background: Treatment of early-stage breast cancer currently includes surgical removal of the tumor and (partial) breast irradiation of the tumor site performed at fractionated dose. Although highly effective, this treatment is exhaustive for both patient and clinic. In this study, the theoretical potential of an alternative treatment combining...journal article 2022

Bouwman, W.G. (author), Knudsen, Erik B. (author), Udby, Linda (author), Willendrup, Peter (author)For the further development of spin-echo techniques to label elastic scattering it is necessary to perform simulations of the Larmor precession of neutron spins in a magnetic field. The details of some of these techniques as implemented at the reactor in Delft are simulated. First, the workings of the magnetized foil flipper are simulated. A...journal article 2021

Theulings, A.M.M.G. (author)The object of this thesis work was to develop a (Monte Carlo) simulation package that can be used to aid in the design of the Timed Photon Counter (TiPC). The TiPC is a single photon detector whose working principle is based upon the multiplication of an electron signal by transmission dynodes, or tynodes. For TiPC to be feasible, it is...doctoral thesis 2020

Chen, J. (author)Cancer is known as one of the leading causes of death in the world with difficult<br/>diagnose at early stages, poor prognosis and high mortality. Animal-based<br/>experiments and clinical trials have always been the main approach for cancer<br/>research, albeit they may have limitations and ethical issues. Mathematicalmodeling<br/>as an...doctoral thesis 2020

(author)We present a new molecular simulation code, Brick-CFCMC, for performing Monte Carlo simulations using state-of-the-art simulation techniques. The Continuous Fractional Component (CFC) method is implemented for simulations in the NVT/NPT ensembles, the Gibbs Ensemble, the Grand-Canonical Ensemble, and the Reaction Ensemble.

Peng, Q. (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author)In this paper, we extend the model of wound healing by Boon et al. (J Biomech 49(8):1388–1401, 2016). In addition to explaining the model explicitly regarding every component, namely cells, signalling molecules and tissue bundles, we categorized fibroblasts as regular fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. We do so since it is widely documented that...journal article 2020

Chen, J. (author), Weihs, D. (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author)Oncolytic virotherapy is known as a new treatment to employ less virulent viruses to specifically target and damage cancer cells. This work presents a cellular automata model of oncolytic virotherapy with an application to pancreatic cancer. The fundamental biomedical processes (like cell proliferation, mutation, apoptosis) are modeled by the...journal article 2020

Kok, M.W.A. (author)The microtubule cytoskeleton is an intracellular polymer network involved in cell shape, cell motility, and cell division. Microtubules are self-assembling, dynamic polymers composed of tubulin proteins that alternate between phases of growth and shrinkage, a behaviour known as “dynamic instability”. A key feature of microtubules is their...doctoral thesis 2019

Lens, E. (author), Tolboom, Ellen (author), Schaart, D.R. (author)Various methods for in vivo range estimation during proton therapy based on the measurement of prompt gamma (PG) photons have been proposed. However, optimizing the method of detection by trial-and-error is a tedious endeavor. Here, we investigate the feasibility of using the Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB) to more quickly arrive at an optimum...journal article 2019

Chen, J. (author), Weihs, Daphne (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author)More than eighty percent of pancreatic cancer involves ductal adenocarcinoma with an abundant desmoplastic extracellular matrix surrounding the solid tumor entity. This aberrant tumor microenvironment facilitates a strong resistance of pancreatic cancer to medication. Although various therapeutic strategies have been reported to be effective...journal article 2019

(author)Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is one of the most common inspection methods in the semiconductor industry and in research labs. To extract the height of structures using SEM images, various techniques have been used, such as tilting a sample, or modifying the SEM tool with extra sources and/or detectors. However, none of these techniques...journal article 2019

Evans, Michael (author), Angeli, David (author), Tindemans, Simon H. (author)We consider the problem of dispatching a fleet of distributed energy reserve devices to collectively meet a sequence of power requests over time. Under the restriction that reserves cannot be replenished, we aim to maximise the survival time of an energy-constrained islanded electrical system; and we discuss realistic scenarios in which this...conference paper 2018

Chen, J. (author), Weihs, Daphne (author), van Dijk, Marcel (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author)Cell migration plays an essential role in cancer metastasis. In cancer invasion through confined spaces, cells must undergo extensive deformation, which is a capability related to their metastatic potentials. Here, we simulate the deformation of the cell and nucleus during invasion through a dense, physiological microenvironment by developing...journal article 2018
