(author), Theelen, M. (author)We study by in-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) in a unique, custom-made furnace mimicking an industrial setup, the effect of pre-annealing on electroplated and sputtered thin films of Cu-In-Ga, as precursor material for Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 (CIGS)-based solar cells. In the first part of the paper, the properties of the as-deposited precursors are...article 2022

(author)Dermal exposure is an important exposure route for occupational exposure and risk assessment. A fluorescence method has been developed to quantify occupational dermal exposure based on a visualization technique, using Tinopal SWN as a fluorescent tracer. The method was developed within the framework of a large experimental study, the SysDEA...article 2021

Santhakumar, S. (author), Meerman, J.C. (author), Faaij, A.P.C. (author)This article reviews experience curve applications in energy technology studies to illustrate best practices in analyzing technological learning. Findings are then applied to evaluate future performance projections of three emerging offshore energy technologies, namely, offshore wind, wave & tidal, and biofuel production from seaweed. Key...article 2021

Vink, R.M. (author)Felitti en collega’s (1998) publiceerden ruim twintig jaar geleden hun inmiddels bekende Amerikaanse ACE-studie waarin een verband werd aangetoond tussen ingrijpende jeugdervaringen – adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) – en problemen met de mentale en fysieke gezondheid in de volwassenheid. Nadien is de ACE-studie in diverse landen...article 2021

Beenackers, M.A. (author), Vermaire, E.J.H. (author), van Dommelen, P. (author), Schuller, A.A. (author)Large socioeconomic inequalities still exist in oral health. It is already known that oral health-related behaviour may contribute to these inequalities, but why people with a lower socioeconomic position behave less healthily is not easily understood. A possible explanation that integrates insights on health behaviour, stress, and financial...article 2021

Karimi, M. (author), van der Zwaan, L. (author), Islam, K. (author), van Genabeek, J.A.G.M. (author), Rutten-van Mölken, M. (author)Objectives. Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) has been recommended to support policy making in healthcare. However, practical applications of MCDA are sparse. One potential use for MCDA is for the evaluation of programs for complex and vulnerable patients. These complex patients benefit from integrated care programs that span healthcare...article 2021

Buijze, L. (author), Guo, Y. (author), Niemeijer, A.R. (author), Ma, S. (author), Spiers, C.J. (author)Frictional heterogeneity within fault zones is one of the factors proposed to explain the spectrum of slow, intermediate, and fast slip behaviors exhibited by faults in nature. Numerical modeling shows how even a simplified model setup incorporating sliding on a velocity-weakening (VW) patch surrounded by velocity-strengthening (VS) material can...article 2021

(author)Effective psychological interventions for anxiety disorders often include exposure to fearful situations. However, individuals with low self-efficacy may find such exposure too overwhelming. We created a vicarious experience in virtual reality, which enables observation of one’s experience from a first person perspective without actual...article 2021

(author)Pressure surge or water hammer simulations are performed to evaluate a safe design or operation of oil transfer systems. The speed of sound of the transferred fluid plays a key role within pressure surge simulations. Unlike for steel pipe systems, the speed of sound in hoses is not easily determined. In industry, a value of 450 m/s is frequently...conference paper 2021
