Deng, Z. (author), He, Qing (author), Manning, Andrew J. (author), Chassagne, C. (author)The interactions between organic and inorganic particles in the context of flocculation is an on-going topic of research. Most current researches do not distinguish between the effects of EPS (produced by microorganisms) and living microorganisms (like algae). In this study, the effect of salinity, EPS and living algae on sediment...journal article 2023

Fan, Q. (author), van Essen, J.T. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author)Shared automated vehicles (SAV) are expected to benefit the sustainable development of urban regions and alleviate the negative impacts brought by the increasing number of private cars. In this paper, we envision a future scenario where non-pooled SAVs replace private cars and provide public on-demand mobility services to satisfy the mobility...journal article 2023

Geelhoed, Jeanine S. (author), Thorup, Casper A. (author), Bjerg, Jesper J. (author), Schreiber, Lars (author), Nielsen, Lars Peter (author), Schramm, Andreas (author), Meysman, F.J.R. (author), Marshall, Ian P.G. (author)Bacterial cells can vary greatly in size, from a few hundred nanometers to hundreds of micrometers in diameter. Filamentous cable bacteria also display substantial size differences, with filament diameters ranging from 0.4 to 8 µm. We analyzed the genomes of cable bacterium filaments from 11 coastal environments of which the resulting 23 new...journal article 2023

Zhang, Y. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)Through the integration of SEM-BSE and TEM, we gained a comprehensive 3-dimensional understanding of different distribution patterns of inner hydration products of slag. For fully hydrated small slag grains, two distinct sub-zones were formed in the rims. Lath-like, well-crystalline hydrotalcite-like crystals were found to precipitate, grow,...journal article 2023

Deep Learning for Size-Agnostic Inverse Design of Random-Network 3D Printed Mechanical MetamaterialsPahlavani, H. (author), Tsifoutis-Kazolis, Kostas (author), Cruz Saldivar, M. (author), Mody, Prerak (author), Zhou, J. (author), Mirzaali, Mohammad J. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Practical applications of mechanical metamaterials often involve solving inverse problems aimed at finding microarchitectures that give rise to certain properties. The limited resolution of additive manufacturing techniques often requires solving such inverse problems for specific specimen sizes. Moreover, the candidate microarchitectures...journal article 2023

Chen, Kewang (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author)Although Anderson acceleration AA(m) has been widely used to speed up nonlinear solvers, most authors are simply using and studying the stationary version of Anderson acceleration. The behavior and full potential of the non-stationary version of Anderson acceleration methods remain an open question. Motivated by the hybrid linear solver...journal article 2023

Garcia Gonzalez, Pedro (author)Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) systems for aviation applications have been considered for their use as APUs or powertrains, as standalone systems or in combination with gas turbines, and both fueled by reformed Jet-A or by hydrogen. Most existing studies focus on powertrain performance modelling. In this work, traditional tube-and-wing regional...master thesis 2022

Vis, Simone (author)Money laundering is an increasing problem for the global economy. To combat money laundering, banks use transaction monitoring models with particular thresholds to detect unusual transaction behaviour. However, it is a challenge to determine and evaluate the suitability of a threshold level to ensure that the risk of misclassification of...master thesis 2022

Boer, Rien (author)Due to the growing quest for renewable energy, wind turbines grow in size. This means that higher demands are posed on the transporting structures, also called tower grillages, which brings its challenges for their design. The fact that the structures considered in this thesis are placed on a ship makes the design even more complicated....master thesis 2022

Linck, Charlie (author)Vopak has the vision to become climate neutral by 2050 (Scope 1 and 2 emissions). Currently, over 99% of its CO2 emissions originate from storage terminal activities. Action must be taken to reduce these emissions by converting the current (fossil fuel-based) generation of electricity to sustainable energy.<br/><br/>This study aims to research...master thesis 2022

Bezemer, Jelle (author)Limiting maximum crack widths is a serviceability limit state, which ensures the durability of reinforced structures. In current practice, maximum crack widths are limited by using additional reinforcement, on top of the amount of reinforcement required for the designed ultimate bearing capacity. Reducing the amount of reinforcing steel used,...master thesis 2022

Helgason, Thorkell (author)Producing hydrogen from renewable energy sources will play a pivotal role in the energy transition. It can reduce emissions in hard-to-abate sectors and be used for grid balancing services. The energy industry is looking into multiple different system configurations to produce green hydrogen. One such system is an offshore stand-alone wind...master thesis 2022
