Jiang, Q. (author), Bertolo, V.M. (author), Pallaspuro, S. (author), Popovich, V. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Walters, C.L. (author)Multi-barrier cleavage models consider cleavage fracture which is characterized by a series of microscale events. One of the challenges for multi-barrier cleavage models is the strong variations of cleavage parameters across different types of steels. The source and magnitude of the variations have not been studied systematically. In the current...article 2023

Jiang, Q. (author), Bertolo, V.M. (author), Popovich, V.A. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Walters, C.L. (author)Thick section S690 QT steel is modelled with a modified multibarrier model that is based on the weakest-link mechanism. Segregation bands are modelled as discrete layers which have different grain size, yield properties, and local fracture parameters from outside of the bands. The results show that embrittlement from segregation bands can only...article 2022

Jiang, Q. (author), Bertolo, V.M. (author), Popovich, V. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Walters, C.L. (author)One of the challenges in cleavage modelling is the strong sensitivity to material characteristics at the micro level. In this research, a microstructure-based method that is coupled with Finite Element Analysis is used to model the cleavage behavior of a S690 QT steel at -130°C. The method is a multi-barrier model which accounts for microcrack...conference paper 2022

Krone, T. (author), Boessen, R. (author), Bijlsma, S. (author), van Stokkum, R. (author), Clabbers, N.D.S. (author), Pasman, W.J. (author)Background. N-of-1 designs gain popularity in nutritional research because of the improving technological possibilities, practical applicability and promise of increased accuracy and sensitivity, especially in the field of personalized nutrition. This move asks for a search of applicable statistical methods. Objective. To demonstrate the...article 2020

van Kampen, J. (author), van der Beek, D. (author), Steijn, W. (author), Groeneweg, J. (author), Guldenmund, F. (author)Background. Organisations spend a considerable amount of time and effort on diagnosing and analysing risks within their organisation. In the area of occupational and process safety, a myriad of employee survey instruments is available. Many studies show that operational processes play an important role in an organisations overall safety. Yet, so...article 2017

(author)BACKGROUND: Health care workers are exposed to psychosocial work factors. Autonomy and social support are psychosocial work factors that are related to stress, and are argued to largely result from the psychosocial safety climate within organisations. This study aimed to assess to what extent the relation between psychosocial safety climate and...article 2017

Previous evaluation showed insufficient use of a national guideline for integrated local health policy by Regional Health Services (RHS) in the Netherlands. The guideline focuses on five health topics and includes five checklists to support integrated municipal health policies. This study explores the determinants of guideline use by...article 2017

(author)Preclinical development of new biological entities (NBEs), such as human protein therapeutics, requires considerable expenditure of time and costs. Poor prediction of pharmacokinetics in humans further reduces net efficiency. In this study, we show for the first time that pharmacokinetic data of NBEs in humans can be successfully obtained early...article 2015

(author)Forensic analysis of explosions consists of determining the point of origin, the explosive substance involved, and the charge mass. Within the EU fP7 project Hyperion, TNO developed the Inverse Explosion Analysis (TNO-IEA) tool to estïmate the charge mass and point of origin based on observed damage around an explosion. In this paper inverse...article 2015

(author)Individual participant data meta-analyses (IPD-MA) are increasingly used for developing and validating multivariable (diagnostic or prognostic) risk prediction models. Unfortunately, some predictors or even outcomes may not have been measured in each study and are thus systematically missing in some individual studies of the IPD-MA. As a...article 2015
