Modeling of microplastic (MP) transport in the aquatic environment is complicated by the diverse properties of the plastic particles. Traditional modeling methods such as Lagrangian particle tracking and Eulerian discrete class (DC) methods have limitations as they are not best placed to account for the diverse characteristics of individual particl...

The invention of nanosized biomaterials has paved the way for novel therapeutics that can manipulate cells on a nanoscale. Nanosized immunofilaments (IFs) are synthetic filamentous polymers consisting out of polyisocyanopeptides, which have been recently established as a powerful platform to activate specific immune cells in vivo such that they rai...
Magnetotactic bacteria are swimming microorganisms able to follow magnetic field lines with the help of an organelle called the magnetosome that is made of biomineralized magnetic crystals assembled in a chain. In combination with this ability, these bacteria perform active oxygen sensing to reach the oxic-anoxic transition zone, which is often loc...

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of airborne microorganisms within the packaging areas of (semi) liquid food product facilities, considering the impact of outdoor microbiological air, seasonal fluctuations, rural-urban differences and environmental parameters such as temperature and relative humidity. Additionally, the effectiveness of bot...
This paper develops a numerical model for loose, unsaturated soil to represent its mixing and motion using Computational Fluid Dynamics. It was found that existing models are not suitable for loose, unsaturated soil. The Herschel–Bulkley model is more appropriate for sludge and mud-like materials, and the Kinetic Theory of Granular Flow is inapt be...
