In this paper, we proposed an efficient authentication method with dual embedment strategies for absolute moment block truncation coding (AMBTC) compressed images. Prior authentication works did not take the smoothness of blocks into account and only...
In the Netherlands local governments have great influence on the dissemination of electric cars, on top of the national governments policies. Local governments use several instruments to stimulate EV’s in their municipalities. To determine the effect...
Ocrelizumab is a B-cell-depleting monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and active primary progressive MS (aPPMS). This prospective, uncontrolled, open-label, observational study aimed to asse...
The effect of helium (He) concentration on ejecta production in OFHC-Copper was investigated using Richtmyer–Meshkov Instability (RMI) experiments. The experiments involved complex samples with periodic surface perturbations machined onto the s...
The weldability of neutron-irradiated austenitic stainless steels in pressurized water reactors (PWRs) deteriorates significantly due to helium accumulation at grain boundaries (GB) originating from nuclear transmutation reactions. This study develop...
The present study investigated the release of tritium from beryllium irradiated at 323 K to a neutron fluence of 4.67 × 1026 m−2 (E > 1 MeV), corresponding up to 22,000 appm helium and 2000 appm tritium productions. The TPD tests revea...
Reduced-activativon ferritic/martensitic (RAFM) steels are prospective structural materials for fission/fusion nuclear applications because their radiation and swelling resistance outperforms their austenitic counterparts. In radiation environments w...
He-H synergistic effects influence the performance of structural materials in fusion reactors. Due to the lack of high-intensity fusion neutron sources, multiple ion beam irradiation has been widely used as an emulation method to study its synergisti...
The rapid growth of the dairy sector requires advanced monitoring tools to ensure sustainable practices that benefit the environment, economy, and human health. Current monitoring devices often lack multi-parametric capabilities, limiting their abili...
Dental diseases are among the most prevalent diseases globally, and accurate segmentation of dental calculus images plays a crucial role in periodontal disease diagnosis and treatment planning. However, the current methods are not stable and reliable...
Purpose: Active ageing is defined as the process of optimizing opportunities for physical, social and mental health to enable older people to actively take part in society without discrimination and to enjoy independence and good quality of life. The...
Ultrafast charging is developing and will soon be available to electric vehicles (EV). This research focuses on the feasibility of ultrafast charging for EV passenger cars in the Netherlands. We carried out a stated choice experiment with 311 respond...
The microstructure evolution and hardness variations of as-fabricated and recrystallized 12Cr oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel after dual-ion (6.4 MeV Fe3+ and energy-degraded 1 MeV He+) irradiation at 973 K up to 10.6 displacements per atom...
Primary and low-strain creep represents a very important integrity challenge to large, complex structures, like fusion reactors. Here, we develop a predictive empirical primary creep model for 9Cr tempered martensitic steels (TMS), relating the appli...
The Plasma Facing Components (PFCs) of the divertor target contribute to the fundamental functions of heat removal and particle exhaust during fusion operation, being subjected to a very hostile and complex loading environment characterized by intens...
