Burdorf, Laurine D.W. (author), Cook, Perran L.M. (author), Robertson, Elizabeth K. (author), Tramper, Anton (author), Hidalgo-Martinez, Silvia (author), Vasquez-Cardenas, Diana (author), Malkin, Sairah Y. (author), Meysman, F.J.R. (author)Cable bacteria can reach high densities in coastal sediments, and as a result of their unusual electrogenic lifestyle and intense metabolic activity, exert a major and distinct impact on biogeochemical cycling, both locally in sediments and at the ecosystem level. This appears to be particularly true for seasonally hypoxic systems, but the...journal article 2024

Bouman, Susan (author)Despite advanced communication, monitoring, and control facilities, train operations are still subject to uncertainties that can disturb train services, cause delay to multiple trains, and propagate through the network. One option is to mitigate delay propagation in the timetable design by adding buffer time to the minimum difference between the...master thesis 2022

de Nooijer, Arend-Jan (author)In this thesis the passive humidity control of indoor air is laid under review. This is primarily interesting for museum rooms, where strict requirements apply to the indoor air humidity. Passive humidity control is promising to contribute to stabilizing the relative humidity levels in a room. <br/><br/>Besides, the use of passive humidity...master thesis 2022

Blanchini, Franco (author), Devia Pinzon, C.A. (author), Giordano, G. (author), Pesenti, Raffaele (author), Rosset, Francesca (author)We proposed network-decentralized control strategies, in which each actuator can exclusively rely on local information, without knowing the network topology and the external input, ensuring that the flow asymptotically converges to the optimal one with respect to the p -norm. For 1 < p < ∞ , the flow converges to a unique constant...journal article 2022

Verboeket, Rik (author)The Volkerak-Zoommeer is a former estuary located the Rhine Meuse Delta in the southwestern part of the Netherlands. After the completion of the Volkerakdam, Philipsdam and Oesterdam as part of the Delta Works, this estuary was cut of from the Oosterschelde and a fresh water lake was formed in a sea water environment. This new lake became the...master thesis 2021
