Cheng, Z. (author), Zhang, J. (author), Yu, B. (author), Chappell, N.A. (author), van Meerveld, H.J. (author), Bruijnzeel, L.A. (author)Predicting catchment stormflow responses after tropical deforestation remains difficult. We used 5-min rainfall and storm runoff data for 30 events to calibrate the Green-Ampt (GA) and the Spatially Variable Infiltration (SVI) models and predict runoff responses for a small, degraded grassland catchment on Leyte Island (the Philippines), where...article 2023

Loomans, M. (author), Kompatscher, K. (author), Huisman, E. (author), Kort, H. (author), Maassen, W. (author), Traversari, A.A.L. (author)Humidification is not a common procedure in many buildings in the Netherlands. An exception are buildings used for healthcare, especially hospitals. There, e.g. in operating theatres, relative humidity (RH) generally is controlled stringently at levels around 50%. From an energy point-of-view humidification is an energy-intensive activity....conference paper 2022

Ruijten, P. (author), Huinink, H.P. (author), Adan, O.C.G. (author)Fungal growth often appears in a surrounding where water and nutrients are scarce. The impact of this environment during sporogenesis on subsequent growth is often neglected.This study investigates the effect of water availability during sporogenesis on subsequent early growth. Therefore, a carbon-depleted substrate was constructed. Humidity is...article 2020

Gerrett, N. (author), Kingma, B.R.M. (author), Sluijter, R. (author), Daanen, H.A.M. (author)The Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic games in 2020 will be held in hot and humid conditions. Heat acclimation (in a climatic chamber) or heat acclimatization (natural environment) is essential to prepare the (endurance) athletes and reduce the performance loss associated with work in the heat. Based on the 1990-2018 hourly meteorological data of...article 2019

(author)Degradation rates and mechanisms for molybdenum back contacts and ZnO:Al front contacts exposed to damp heat were obtained from literature and experiments. It was found that molybdenum back contacts with a higher density and covered by a MoSe2 film are more stable than their low density, bare counterparts. For ZnO:Al front contacts various...conference paper 2018

Theelen, M. (author), Beyeler, K. (author), Steijvers, H. (author), Barreau, N. (author)Unencapsulated CIGS solar cells were simultaneously exposed to either dry or damp heat combined illumination. In-situ monitoring of their electrical parameters demonstrated a rapid decrease of the efficiency for the solar cells exposed to damp heat plus illumination. This decrease was mainly driven by changes in the shunt resistances, affecting...article 2017

Daanen, H.A.M. (author), Herweijer, J.A. (author)Elderly indoors can be subject to considerable heat strain during heat waves. We investigated if a short indoor acclimation (HA) program leads to improved resilience to heat. Although full HA takes about ten days, the main changes occur in the first days, leading to reduced heat strain with similar stress. This study investigates changes after 3...article 2015
