Duz, B. (author), Borsboom, M.J.A. (author), Veldman, A.E.P. (author), Wellens, P.R. (author), Huijsmans, R.H.M. (author)In this paper the attention is focused on the effect of various VOF methods on efficient and accurate simulation of free surface water waves. For this purpose, we will compare several VOF methods in numerical simulations of propagating waves where strong nonlinear behavior is dominant in the flow. Comparisons and discussions will be provided to...conference paper 2016

Leegwater, G.A. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author), Erkens, S. (author)Damage in pavements is known to reduce over time when the material is left to rest, this phenomenon is known as healing. It has been shown that healing is an important influence factor in pavement performance. However, an accepted method to assess the healing capability of a pavement is currently not available. Healing of cracks is assumed to be...conference paper 2016

van den Hoven, M.J. (author)In the twenty-first century, the urgent problems the world is facing (the UN Sustainable Development Goals) are increasingly related to vast and intricate ‘systems of systems’, which comprise both socio-technical and eco-systems. In order for engineers to adequately and responsibly respond to these problems, they cannot focus on only one...journal article 2016

Leclercq, L. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Marczak, F (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)This paper deals with the derivation of analytical formulae to estimate the effective capacity at freeway merges in a multilane context. It extends two previous papers that are based on the same modeling framework but that are restricted to a single lane on the freeway (or to the analysis of the right lane only). The analytical expression for...conference paper 2016

(author), Leiknes, TO (author)Membrane systems are commonly used in the water industry to produce potable water and for advanced wastewater treatment. One of the major drawbacks of membrane systems is biofilm formation (biofouling), which results in an unacceptable decline in membrane performance. Three novel in situ biofouling characterization techniques were assessed: ...review 2016

(author)The biosynthesis of cell surface-located galactofuranose (Galf)-containing glycostructures such as galactomannan, N-glycans and O-glycans in filamentous fungi is important to secure the integrity of the cell wall. UgmA encodes an UDP-galactopyranose mutase, which is essential for the formation of Galf. Consequently, the ΔugmA mutant lacks...journal article 2016

Yang, Xiaofan (author), Zhu, Yuanrui (author), Hong, Jing (author), Yang, L. (author), Wu, Yingbo (author), Tang, Yuan Yan (author)There are quite a number of different metrics of network robustness. This paper addresses the rationality of four metrics of network robustness (the algebraic connectivity, the effective resistance, the average edge betweenness, and the efficiency) by investigating the robust growth of generalized meshes (GMs). First, a heuristic growth...journal article 2016

Zhao, J. (author), Vollebregt, E.A.H. (author), Oosterlee, C.W. (author)The boundary element method (BEM) is widely used in fast numerical solvers for concentrated elastic contact problems arising from the wheel-rail contact in the railway industry. In this paper we extend the range of applicability of BEM by computing the influence coefficients (ICs) numerically. These ICs represent the Green's function of the...journal article 2016

Varjas, D. (author), Grushin, Adolfo G. (author), Ilan, Roni (author), Moore, Joel E. (author)The polarization of a material and its response to applied electric and magnetic fields are key solid-state properties with a long history in insulators, although a satisfactory theory required new concepts such as Berry-phase gauge fields. In metals, quantities such as static polarization and the magnetoelectric θ term cease to be well...journal article 2016
