(author)Metal halide perovskites are generating enormous excitement for use in solar cells and light-emission applications, but devices still show substantial non-radiative losses. Here, we show that by combining light and atmospheric treatments, we can increase the internal luminescence quantum efficiencies of polycrystalline perovskite films from 1...journal article 2017

Bas, G. (author)Industrial systems increasingly need to become more resilient to developments in their environment. To take the right decisions and improve their resilience, those companies need insight into the effects of resilience-enhancing actions. A substantial part of those actions' effects follow from the adaptation of the focal company's environment in...doctoral thesis 2017

Hosseini Nasab, S.M. (author)This thesis presented an extensive study on various aspects of ASF flooding process for EOR. It provides insight into hybrid EOR processes that are of a combination of immiscible gas and chemicals injection in sandstone reservoir. We wanted to discover the mechanism of oil displacement by ASF flooding in terms of 1) formation of oil bank, 2)...doctoral thesis 2017

Qu, B. (author)In the recent decades, various dynamic process models on complex networks have been built to study the mechanisms by which an opinion, a disease or generally the information spreads in real-world networks. For example, opinion models are developed to illustrate the competition of opinions in a population, and epidemic models are used to describe...doctoral thesis 2017

Hofland, Bas (author), Rosa-Santos, Paulo (author), Taveira-Pinto, Francisco (author), de Almeida Sousa, E. (author), Lemos, Rute (author), Mendonça, A. (author), Juana Fortes, C (author)This paper studies novel ways to evaluate armour damage in physical models of coastal structures. High-resolution damage data for reference rubble mound breakwaters obtained under the HYDRALAB+ joint-research project are analysed and discussed. These tests are used to analyse the way to describe damage, the influence of the sequence of testing,...conference paper 2017

Lendering, K.T. (author), Sebastian, Antonia (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)Floods are the costliest and deadliest weather-related disaster globally. With higher population density in flood prone areas, increased urban development, and projected climate impacts, the frequency and severity of flooding in Europe is predicted to rise. While permanent flood defences have been shown to be more economically effective and...abstract 2017

Liu, Z. (author), Schaap, Kevin (author), Ballemans, Laura (author), de Zanger, Rory (author), de Blois, E (author), Rohde, M. (author), Paulssen, E. (author)Microfluidic synthesis techniques can offer improvement over batch syntheses which are currently used for radiopharmaceutical production. These improvements are, for example, better mixing of reactants, more efficient energy transfer, less radiolysis, faster reaction optimization, and overall improved reaction control. However, scale-up...journal article 2017

Nafezarefi, F. (author), Schreuders, H. (author), Dam, B. (author), Cornelius, S. (author)Recently, thin films of yttrium oxy-hydride (YO<sub>x</sub>H<sub>y</sub>) were reported to show an unusual color-neutral photochromic effect promising for application in smart windows. Our present work demonstrates that also oxy-hydrides based on Gd, Dy, and Er have photochromic properties and crystal structures similar to YO<sub>x</sub>H<sub...journal article 2017

Hiensch, E.J.M. (author), Burgelman, N.D.M. (author)The acting forces and resulting material degradation at the running surfaces of wheels and rail are determined by vehicle, track, interface and operational characteristics. To effectively manage the experienced wear, plastic deformation and crack development at wheels and rail, the interaction between vehicle and track demands a system...journal article 2017

Verheul, W.J. (author)Gebiedstransformaties zijn dan wel gewenst, ze blijken in de praktijk duur en ingewikkeld. En in deze tijd moeten ze het zonder ruime subsidies stellen. Onderzoekers van TU Delft sectie Urban Development Management onderzochten voor de Agenda Stad van het Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken wat ervoor nodig is opdat deze gebiedstransformaties toch...report 2017

Zhang, S. (author), Zeng, X. (author), Igartua, A. (author), Rodriguez-Vidal, E. (author), van der Heide, E. (author)Surface texture is important for contact mechanical and tribological phenomena such as the contact area and friction. In this research, three different types of geometrical microstructures were designed and fabricated by pulsed laser surface texturing as semi-symmetric (grooved channel), asymmetric fractal (Hilbert curve), and symmetric...journal article 2017

Kalo, Jan-Christoph (author), Lofi, C. (author), Maseli, René Pascal (author), Balke, Wolf-Tilo (author)The use of semantic information found in structured knowledge bases has become an integral part of the processing pipeline of modern intelligent in-<br/>formation systems. However, such semantic information is frequently insuffi-cient to capture the rich semantics demanded by the applications, and thus cor-pus-based methods employing natural...conference paper 2017

Marijnissen, R.J.C. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)The goal of the study is to map the changes of marsh extent and topography on both Sturgeon Bank and Westham Island between 1980 and now. The study will look for a correlation between the recession and the possible loss of sediment from the banks. If a sediment deficit is a (major) contributor of marsh recession within the...report 2017

de Wagter, C. (author), Karasek, M. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)We present a novel design of a tailless flapping wing Micro Air Vehicle (MAV), which uses four independently driven pairs of flapping wings in order to fly and perform agile maneuvers. The wing pairs are arranged such that differential thrust generates the desired roll and pitch moments, similar to a quadrotor. Moreover, two pairs of wings are...conference paper 2017

Pronk, Arno (author), Luo, Peng (author), Li, Q. (author), Sanders, F.C. (author), Overtoom, M.E. (author), Coar, Lancelot (author)There has been a long tradition in making ice structures, but the development of technical improvements for making ice buildings is a new field with just a handful of researchers. Most of the projects were realized by professors in cooperation with their students as part of their education in architecture and civil engineering. The following...conference paper 2017
