Pardhi, S. (author), Chakraborty, S. (author), Tran, D.-D. (author), El Baghdadi, M. (author), Wilkins, S. (author), Hegazy, O. (author)Long-haul heavy-duty vehicles, including trucks and coaches, contribute to a substantial portion of the modern-day European carbon footprint and pose a major challenge in emissions reduction due to their energy-intensive usage. Depending on the hydrogen fuel source, the use of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) for long-haul applications has...article 2022

Landman, A. (author), Mol, D. (author), van Emmerik, M.L. (author), Groen, E.L. (author)An often-used practice in pilot simulator training is to let pilots respond to a situation that has gone wrong. This may require the trainee to postpone their intervention, so that they can experience the cues and sensations signaling the critical situation, and have an opportunity to practice the appropriate response. However, some aviation...report 2022

Eledlebi, K. (author), Ruta, D. (author), Hildmann, H. (author), Saffre, F. (author), al Hammadi, Y. (author), Isakovic, A.F. (author)When deploying a wireless sensor network (WSN) identifying optimal locations for the nodes is challenging, especially so if the environment is either (i) unknown or (ii) obstacle-rich. We proposes BISON (Bio-Inspired Self-Organizing Network), a variant of the Voronoi algorithm to address this challenge. Among the features of the approach are the...article 2022

Cornelissen, A.S. (author), Garcia, F.E. (author), Raulli, R.E. (author), Laney, J. (author), Joosen, M.J.A. (author)Most research on medical countermeasures for nerve agent exposure assumes a military scenario, in which (autoinjector) treatment is envisaged to be available immediately. In a civilian setting however, treatment is delayed until arrival of first-aid responders. This may significantly affect treatment efficacy and the requirements for secondary...article 2021

Niks, I. (author), van Drongelen, A. (author), de Korte, E. (author)Background: Shift work can be demanding owing to disturbances in the biological and social rhythms. This can cause short-term negative effects in employees, such as increased fatigue and reduced alertness. A potential way to counteract these negative effects is to enhance employees’ recovery from work during working hours. Objective: The aim of...article 2020

Kallen, V. (author), Marck, J.W. (author), Stam, J. (author), Issa, A. (author), Johnson, B. (author), van Meeteren, N. (author)The steadily growing elderly population calls for efficient, reliable and preferably ambulant health supervision. Since cardiovascular risk factors interact with psychosocial strain (e.g., depression), we investigated the potential contribution of psychosocial factors in discriminating generally healthy elderly from those with a cardiovascular...article 2020

(author)This article assesses the impact of energy recovery from digestate on the economics of biomethane produced from the organic fraction of municipal solid waste. Six waste-to-energy routes are investigated and assumed to be deployed in the regional context of the Republic of Ireland. Anaerobic digestion without energy recovery, and landspreading of...article 2020

Simons, E.C. (author), Weerheijm, J. (author), Sluys, L.J. (author)Alumina ceramic is often used in armour systems. This material is known to have a brittle response under tensile loading, while a ductile response is found when sufficiently high pressures are reached. During projectile impact a ceramic material experiences both tensile loading and high pressures, hence fails in both a brittle and ductile way....article 2019

(author)We hypothesized that an incorrect expectation due to spatial disorientation may induce roll reversal errors. To test this, an in-flight experiment was performed, in which forty non-pilots rolled wings level after receiving motion cues. A No-leans condition (subthreshold motion to a bank angle) was included, as well as a Leans-opposite condition ...article 2019
