(author)Objective. Bi-directional electronic neural interfaces, capable of both electrical recording and stimulation, communicate with the nervous system to permit precise calibration of electrical inputs by capturing the evoked neural responses. However, one significant challenge is that stimulation artifacts often mask the actual neural signals. To...journal article 2024

van Rooijen, Robbin (author)In the face of urbanization and limited space, traffic management grapples with challenges, especially heavy left-turn volumes at signalized intersections. The pre-signal strategy, proposed by Li et al. (2014), emerges as a promising solution. It involves an additional traffic light upstream of the main intersection, creating a "sorted area"...master thesis 2023

Yayavaram, Revanth Sai (author)The parcel transport industry utilizes automated parcel sorting systems to effectively manage incoming parcels. These systems typically comprise multiple infeed conveyors that converge onto a single merge conveyor for parcel merging. However, the conventional First-Come-First-Serve merging method results in reduced utilization of the merge...master thesis 2023

van Beek, M.C. (author)Elektronica is een snel groeiende stroom van complex afval in Nederland. De huidige technieken zijn echter niet in staat om dit type afval, bekend als afgedankte elektrische en elektronische apparatuur (AEEA), te behandelen tot het niveau van ruwe materialen dat onze duurzaamheidsdoelen vereisen. Als stap op weg naar dit doel bespreken we hier...journal article 2023

Du, Yunlu (author), Huang, Yunkai (author), Guo, Baocheng (author), Zhu, Zichong (author), Peng, Fei (author), Dong, J. (author)In this article, an efficient multi-objective optimization strategy for the Halbach array permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) is developed by taking into consideration the nonlinear B-H behavior of soft magnetic materials. Based on the harmonic modeling (HM) technology, the electromagnetic performances (EPs) of the Halbach array PMSM...journal article 2023

van Beek, Max (author)In recent decades Europe has been increasing its demand and consumption of electronics. This has in turn resulted in major outflows of waste electronics (WEEE) that are usually not properly dealt with. This is especially the case for low to medium grade printed circuit boards (PCBs) which unlike higher grade electronics such as computers are...master thesis 2022

Smeets, Lucy (author)Sorting systems form an example of event driven systems. These types of systems are referred to as discrete event systems (DES), and they consist of jobs that need to be performed at available resources. In an autonomous sorting system, jobs consist of robots receiving and delivering parcels at the correct locations. With scheduling, optimal...master thesis 2022

Beekman, Elwin (author)Background: With around 70 supermarkets, Hoogvliet is one of the smaller supermarkets in the Netherlands. During the past years, more companies have become aware of the importance of efficient reversed logistics (Senthil et al., 2018). By optimizing this return flow, the return hall of supermarkets plays an important role. With the expected...master thesis 2022

van Wolfswinkel, Lotte (author)Starting from the 1950s, plastic has found its way into many aspects of life; from packaging to transportation and construction. The annual global plastic production was estimated to be 330 million metric tons in 2017 and will be doubled within 20 years if the current growth rate persists. In Europe, packaging accounts for 40% of the annual...master thesis 2022

Megevand, B.P.N. (author), Cao, Wen-Jun (author), Di Maio, F. (author), Rem, P.C. (author)This paper aims to summarize, propose, and discuss existing or emerging strategies to shift towards a circular economy of materials. To clarify the landscape of existing circular practices, a new spectrum is proposed, from product-based strategies, where entire products go through several life cycles without being reprocessed, to material-based...journal article 2022

Coastal aeolian sediment transport in an active bed surface layer: Tracer study and conceptual modelUphues, Charlotte F.K. (author), van IJzendoorn, Christa (author), Hallin, E.C. (author), Pearson, S.G. (author), van Prooijen, Bram (author), Miot da Silva, Graziela (author), de Vries, S. (author)Coastal aeolian sediment transport is influenced by supply-limiting factors caused by sediment sorting by grain size. Sorting processes can lead to coarsening of the bed surface and influence the formation of aeolian ripples. However, the influence sorting processes and bedforms might have on the magnitude of the transport is not fully...journal article 2022

Kawasaki, S. (author), Yeh, Jia-Jun (author), Saccher, M. (author), Li, Jian (author), Dekker, R. (author)The main limitation of acoustic particle separation for microfluidic application is its low sorting efficiency. This is due to the weak coupling of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) into the microchannel. In this work, we demonstrate bulk acoustic wave (BAW) particle sorting using capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) for the first...conference paper 2022

Biersteker, Erwin (author), van Marrewijk, A.H. (author), Koppenjan, Joop (author)Recently, scholars have called for a focus on subjective aspects of risk management as a suitable lens for understanding how it functions. In line with this lens, this study focuses on project actors’ viewpoints on risk management in the context of construction projects to provide novel insights in risk management. Drawing on Renn's model and...journal article 2022

Boot, R.C. (author), Koenderink, G.H. (author), Boukany, P. (author)Spheroids are widely used in vitro 3D multicellular model systems that mimic complex physiological microenvironments of tissues. As different cell types vary in deformability and adhesion, the choice of (heterogeneous) cell composition will define overall spheroid mechanics, including their viscoelasticity and effective surface tension. These...review 2021
