Kessels, I. (author), Koopman, B. (author), Verdonschot, N. (author), Marra, M. (author), Gijsbertse, K. (author)The performance of military tasks is often exacerbated by additional load carriage, leading to increased physical demand. Previous studies showed that load carriage may lead to increased risk of developing musculoskeletal injuries, a reduction in task speed and mobility, and overall performance degradation. However, these studies were limited to...article 2021

(author)The aim of this work was to evaluate the performance of three different supported amine sorbents in a 6-step vacuumswing adsorption (VSA) cycle through process simulation and optimization for a representative post-combustion CO2capture system. Detailed process optimization revealed that all the adsorbents were able to achieve the desired purity...article 2021

(author)The paper presents use case simulations of fleets of electric buses in two cities in Europe, one with a warm Mediterranean climate and the other with a Northern European (cool temperate) climate, to compare the different climatic effects of the thermal management strategy and charging management strategy. Two bus routes are selected in each city...article 2021

Cornelissen, R. (author), Maljaars, J. (author), Hofmeyer, H. (author)Curved aluminium extrusions are applied in a wide range of industrial applications. Because extrusions are initially straight, an additional process is required to curve the product. Undesired wrinkling of the plate part at the inner radius is frequently observed during the curving process. Wrinkling has already been extensively studied for the...article 2021

(author)The nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB) presents a promising contribution to fulfill the EU sustainable future targets. However, the construction industry that leads the development of nZEB is facing challenges to guarantee its performance. In this context, this paper proposes a methodology framework based on Multizone Resistance–Capacitance...article 2021

Bos, J.E. (author), Nooij, S.A.E. (author), Souman, J.L. (author)When studying (the effectiveness of countermeasures to) carsickness in a simulator, it currently remains a question whether results still hold true in a real car. This question not only concerns its practical consequences, but the scientific interest in the underlaying mechanisms as well. By reckoning previous observations and new insights...conference paper 2021

(author), Galagan, Y. (author), Najafi, M. (author), Romero B., (author)Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have become very popular due to the high efficiencies achieved. Nevertheless, one of the main challenges for their commercialization is to solve their instability issues. A thorough understanding of the processes taking place in the device is key for the development of this technology. Herein, J-V measurements have...article 2021

(author)Ground-based demonstration of spatial disorientation (SD) has been recommended for military as well as commercial pilot training. Although the leans illusion is the most common form of SD, no data exist yet of an effective ground-based leans procedure for a hexapod simulator. In this paper we describe the development of such a procedure and its...conference paper 2021

Steinman, Y. (author), Groen, E. (author), Frings-Dresen, M.H.W. (author)The purpose of the present study was to determine how hypoxia effects awareness of environment (AoE) in helicopter pilots operating at high altitude. Eight helicopter crews flew two operational flights in a flight simulator while breathing gas mixtures of 20.9% (equivalent to 0 m altitude) and 11.4% (equivalent to 4572 m or 15,000 ft altitude)...article 2021

Post, B. (author), Borst, S. (author), van den Berg, J.L. (author)Due to the rising concerns of energy consumption in wireless networks, base station (BS) sleeping strategies were introduced to save energy in low traffic scenarios. In this paper we analyse a weighted trade-off between energy consumption and user-perceived performance in dense cellular networks. We present an optimization problem representing...article 2021
