Campbell-Johnston, K. (author), Roos Lindgreen, E. (author), Mondello, G. (author), Gulotta, T.M. (author), Vermeulen, W.J.V. (author), Salomone, R. (author)The strategic relevance of extracting raw materials from waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in the EU is increasing due to value chain risks caused by geopolitical instability, accessibility of specific minerals, and decreasing reserves due to growing extraction rates. This article examines the quantities of so-called critical...article 2023

(author), Farha, O.K. (author)In the case of an incident with nerve agents, the timely and ready detection and identification of such a substance on suspected surfaces is essential. However, the detection of low levels of nerve agents on a surface is a considerable challenge for conventional detection equipment, especially with VX, a highly toxic nerve agent with low...article 2022

(author)The combination of an exacerbated workload and impermeable nature of the personal protective equipment (PPE) worn by COVID-19 healthcare workers increases heat strain. We aimed to compare the prevalence of heat strain symptoms before (routine care without PPE) versus during the COVID-19 pandemic (COVID-19 care with PPE), identify risk factors...article 2022

Luo, X. (author), Grossbichler, M. (author), Waschl, H. (author), Donkers, M.C.F. (author), de Jager, B. (author), Willems, F.P.T. (author)When controlled in an open-loop fashion, both stationary and dynamical diesel engine performance can deteriorate due to disturbances. Although cycle-to-cycle fuel injection control has the potential of reducing the performance degradation by manipulating the fueling profile in real time, this potential has not been thoroughly studied. This is...article 2021

Kermavnar, T. (author), de Vries, A.W. (author), de Looze, M.P. (author), O'Sullivan, L.W. (author)This study is an updated systematic review of papers published in the last 5 years on industrial back-support exoskeletons. The research questions were aimed at addressing the recent findings regarding objective (e.g. body loading, user performance) and subjective evaluations (e.g. user satisfaction), potential side effects, and methodological...article 2021

Gijsbertse, K. (author), Linssen, L. (author), Woering, A. (author), Catoire, M. (author)Background. Soldiers are required to conduct tasks and operations in physically demanding situations, where the ability to move (mobility) quickly is important to lethality and survivability. This study employed a specially designed suit to try to isolate the main mass property characteristics of personal protective clothing/equipment (PPCE)...article 2021

(author)COVID-19 healthcare personnel (HCP) use personal protective equipment (PPE; ie, isolation gowns, eye protection, facemasks and respirators) to safely perform their medical duties. However, PPE creates a microenvironment around the skin due to a higher thermal resistance and lower water vapour permeability of the materials being used compared...article 2021

Spaan, S. (author), Glass, R. (author), Goede, H. (author), Ruiter, S. (author), Gerritsen-Ebben, R.M. (author)The suitability, availability, and use of protective clothing are critical factors determining the actual dermal exposure (ADE) of operators and workers to pesticides. A realistic assessment of occupational exposure to pesticides requires information about the performance of protective clothing during everyday use. In this study, the performance...article 2020

(author)We investigate the hypothesis that long-term memory in populations of agents can lead to counterproductive emergent properties at the system level. Our investigation is framed in the context of a discrete, one-dimensional road-traffic congestion model: we investigate the influence of simple cognition in a population of rational commuter agents...article 2019

Blom, K.C.H. (author), Dol, H.S. (author)For enabling efficient operation of untethered underwater vehicles, error-free underwater communication of command-and-control and telemetry data is a necessity. In contrast, the communication requirements for the sensor data of these vehicles are often less stringent, i.e., a few bad pixels in a SONAR image might be tolerated. To maximize...conference paper 2019

Fockens, T.W.H. (author), Zwamborn, A.P.M. (author), Leferink, F. (author)Radio noise of man-made origin has been measured and studied since the 50s of the past century. From that time on, especially in the last two decades, the electromagnetic environment has changed due to the wide spread and increasingly complicated electronic and computing equipment in domestic and work premises. Not only the character of man-made...article 2019
