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

Efficiency of three cooling methods for hyperthermic military personnel linked to water availabilityKlous, L. (author), van Diemen, F. (author), Ruijs, S. (author), Gerrett, N. (author), Daanen, H. (author), de Weerd, M. (author), Veenstra, B. (author), Levels, K. (author)Purpose: Three feasible cooling methods for treatment of hyperthermic individuals in the military, that differed considerably in water volume needed (none to ~80 L), were evaluated. Methods: Ten male soldiers were cooled following exercise-induced hyperthermia (rectal temperature (Tre) ∼39.5 °C) using ventilation by fanning (1.7 m s−1),...article 2022

Weemstra, C. (author), de Laat, J.I. (author), Verdel, A. (author), Smets, P. (author)Instrumental timing and phase errors are a notorious problem in seismic data acquisition and processing. These can be frequency independent, for example due to clock drift, but may also be frequency dependent, for example due to imperfectly known instrument responses. A technique is presented that allows both types of errors to be recovered in a...article 2021

Maderer, L. (author), van der Knaap, F.G.P. (author)The KM3NeT neutrino telescope, currently under construction, consists of two detectors in the Mediterranean Sea, ORCA and ARCA, both using arrays of optical modules to detect the Cherenkov light produced by charged particles created in neutrino interactions. Although originally designed for neutrino oscillation and astrophysical research, this...conference paper 2021

Aiello, S. (author)The gSeaGen code is a GENIE-based application developed to efficiently generate high statistics samples of events, induced by neutrino interactions, detectable in a neutrino telescope. The gSeaGen code is able to generate events induced by all neutrino flavours, considering topological differences between tracktype and shower-like events....article 2020

(author)The shredding of waste of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and other products, incorporated with nanomaterials, can lead to a substantial release of nanomaterials. Considering the uncertainty, complexity, and scarcity of experimental data on release, we present the development of a Bayesian belief network (BBN) model. This baseline...article 2018

van Es, M.H. (author), Sadeghian Marnani, H. (author)Inspection of EUV mask substrates and blanks is demanding. We envision this is a good target application for massively parallel Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). We envision to do a full surface characterization of EUV masks with AFM enabling 1nm true 3D resolution over the entire surface. The limiting factor to do this is in the sensor itself:...conference paper 2016

Schutte, K.C.J. (author), Portela, L.M. (author), Twerda, A. (author), Henkes, R.A.W.M. (author)In this work, we propose a detailed numerical model for asphaltene agglomeration and deposition, as induced by a resolved turbulent liquid carrier phase flow, in which transport, breakup, and re-entrainment are also taken into account. Asphaltene phase separation is represented by the appearance of adhesive primary particles, which bond upon...article 2015

(author)Dual-gate organic transistor technology is used to increase the robustness of digital circuits as illustrated by higher inverter gains and noise margins. The additional gate in the technology functions as a VT-control gate. Both zero-VGS-load and diode-load logic are investigated. The noise margin of zero- VGS-load inverter increases from 1.15 V...article 2011

(author)PLLs have become an important part of electrical systems. When designing a PLL, an efficient and reliable simulation platform for system evaluation is needed. However, the closed loop simulation of a PLL is time consuming. To address this problem, in this paper, a new PLL model containing both digital and analog parts based on the recently...conference paper 2011

Colin de Verdière, A. (author), te Raa, L. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)The stability of the thermohaline circulation of modern and glacial climates is compared with the help of a two dimensional ocean-atmosphere-sea ice coupled model. It turns out to be more unstable as less freshwater forcing is required to induce a polar halocline catastrophy in glacial climates. The large insulation of the ocean by the extensive...article 2010

Visser, K. (author), Trampert, J. (author), Kennett, B.L.N. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)We thank Stuart Crampin for his interest in our recent paper but respectfully disagree when he argues that our measurements are not appropriate for inferring mantle anisotropy. The approximations we made are common and perfectly acceptable for the considered frequency band. The comment ignores a large part of the literature which investigated...article 2009
