Miksys, J. (author), Arutinov, G. (author), Römer, G.R.B.E. (author)Silver nanoparticle inks are among the key functional materials used in printed electronics. Depositing it by laser-induced forward transfer remains a challenging task because the non-linear rheological nature of these inks narrows the range of the laser processing parameters. Understanding, therefore, the influence of the laser parameters on...article 2019

van Lier, L.J. (author), Smeulers, J.P.M. (author)Pressure pulsations are an intrinsic feature of reciprocating compressor systems, that may lead to various issues. The API 618 standard is the most relevant guideline for pulsation and vibration control during the design stage. However, the main focus of API 618 is on pulsation effects in the field piping, and less on the pulsations close to the...conference paper 2018

(author), Wändell, J. (author)The noise produced during a train pass-by originates from several different sources such as propulsion noise, noise from auxiliary equipment, aerodynamic noise and rolling noise. The rolling noise is radiated by the wheels and the track and is excited by the wheel and rail unevenness, usually referred to as roughness. The current TSI Noise...article 2018

Albers, N. (author), van Lier, L.J. (author), van der Biezen, M. (author)For a large new refinery project in the Middle East, the design and construction of a very large hydrogen compression unit was required. The compression unit design resulted in the requirement for six large reciprocating compressors operating in parallel, with a total installed electrical power close to 100 MW. The compressors have common...conference paper 2018

Prior, M.K. (author), Jansen, H.W. (author)A modelling approach is described in which time-domain underwater-acoustic source functions are generated using a model that predicts the motion of air-bubbles generated by mini-airguns operated at various pressures. These time-series are Fourier-transformed to produce frequency-domain descriptions of the source. These are combined with complex...conference paper 2018

(author)Aims Endothelial activation is involved in many chronic inflammatory diseases, such as atherosclerosis, and is often initiated by cytokines. Oncostatin M (OSM) is a relatively unknown cytokine that has been suggested to play a role in both endothelial activation and atherosclerosis. We comprehensively investigated the effect of OSM on...article 2018

Loh, K.K.L. (author), Shoeibi Omrani, P.S. (author), van der Linden, R.J.P. (author)The prediction of the gas production from mature gas wells, due to their complex end-of-life behavior, is challenging and crucial for operational decision making. In this paper, we apply a modified deep LSTM model for prediction of the gas flow rates in mature gas wells, including the uncertainties in input parameters. Additionally, due to...article 2018
