High-resolution clean-sc
No full textIn this paper a high-resolution extension of CLEAN-SC is proposed: HR-CLEAN-SC. Where CLEAN-SC uses peak sources in “dirty maps” to define so-called source components, HR-CLEAN-SC takes advantage of the fact that source components can likewise be derived from points at some distance from the peak, as long as these “source markers” are on the main lobe of the Point Spread Function (PSF). This is very useful when sources are closely spaced together, such that their PSFs interfere. Then, alternative markers can be sought in which the relative influence by PSFs of other source positions is minimised. For those markers the source components better agree with the actual sources, which allows for better estimation of their locations and strengths. This paper outlines the theory needed to understand this approach and discusses applications to 2D and 3D microphone array simulations with closely spaced sources

Ca-modified Al–Mg–Sc alloy with high strength at elevated temperatures due to a hierarchical microstructure
No full textAl-Mg alloys are normally prone to lose part of their yield and tensile strength at high temperatures due to insufficient thermal stability of the microstructure. Here, we present a Ca-modified Al–Mg–Sc alloy demonstrating high strength at elevated temperatures. The microstructure contains Al4Ca phases distributed as a network along the grain boundary and Al3(Sc,Zr) nano-particles dispersed within the grains. The microstructure evolution and age-hardening analysis indicate that the combination of an Al4Ca network and Sc-rich nano-particles leads to excellent thermal stability even upon aging at 300 °C. The tensile strength of the alloy for temperatures up to 250 °C is significantly improved by an aging treatment and is comparable with the commercial heat-resistant aluminum alloys, i.e., A356 and A319. At a high temperature of 300 °C, the tensile strength is superior to the above-mentioned commercial alloys, even more so when expressed as the specific strength due to the low density of Ca-modified Al–Mg–Sc alloy. The excellent high-temperature strength results from a synergistic effect of solid solution strengthening, grain boundary strengthening and nanoparticle order strengthening.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Novel Aerospace Material
SC-Square: Overview to 2021.
No full textThis extended abstract was written to accompany an invited talk at the 2021 SC-Square Workshop, where the author was asked to give an overview of SC-Square progress to date. The author first reminds the reader of the definition of SC-Square, then briefly outlines some of the history, before picking out some (personal) scientific highlights

Invasive plants as catalysts for the spread of human parasites
No full textTo a degree not widely recognized, some naturalized and invasive plants increase the risks to human health by enhancing the proliferation of vectors of virulent human parasites. These potential risks are restricted by neither ecosystem nor geography. The dense, floating mats of the tropical South American invasive macrophyte Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) creates habitat for larvae of the dipteran vectors of Plasmodium spp., the causative agents of malaria, and other parasites. In Africa, the South American shrub Lantana camara (lantana) provides suitable habitat in otherwise treeless areas for dipteran vectors (Glossina spp.) of protozoans (Trypanosoma spp.) that cause trypanosomiasis. In the eastern United States, proliferation of the invasive Berberis thunbergii provides questing sites for the blacklegged ticks that carry the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. Unanticipated health consequences will likely continue to emerge from new plant introductions. Hantaviruses are rodent-borne parasites that cause lethal hemorrhagic fevers in humans. Populations of rodent Hantavirus vectors in South America increase rapidly in response to fruit availability among masting, native bamboos. In the United States the omnivorous deer mouse Peromyscus maniculatus also carries Hantavirus (Sin Nombre Virus). The on-going escape of Asian frost-tolerant bamboos from cultivation raises the possibility of their becoming invaders - several have already become naturalized - and in turn providing a temporary food source for populations of infected native rodents. Proposed introductions of floating aquatic vascular species, species with masting reproduction and species that could occupy an unfilled niche in a new range deserve careful evaluation as catalysts of unintended species interactions, especially of human parasites
