Pappas, K. (author), Mackie, L. (author), Zilakos, I. (author), van der Weijde, A.H. (author), Angeloudis, A. (author)Tides exhibit variability over time. This study proposes a methodology for selecting a representative timeframe for tidal range energy analyses, when constrained to a typical, short-term, lunar month-long period. We explore how the selection of particular timeframes skews findings of energy assessments, especially for cross-comparisons across...article 2023

(author)Diisocyanates are highly reactive substances and known causes of occupational asthma. Exposure occurs mainly in the occupational setting and can be assessed through biomonitoring which accounts for inhalation and dermal exposure and potential effects of protective equipment. However the interpretation of biomonitoring data can be challenging for...article 2023

Sabbadini, A. (author), Massaad, J. (author), van Neer, P.L.M.J. (author), de Jong, N. (author), Verweij, M.D. (author)In recent years, several fitting techniques have been presented to reconstruct the parameters of a plate from its Lamb wave dispersion curves. Published studies show that these techniques can yield high accuracy results and have the potential of reconstructing several parameters at once. The precision with which parameters can be reconstructed...article 2022
