Li, H. (author), Hu, Xiao Bing (author), Guo, Xiaomei (author), Xu, Z. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)As an important infrastructure system, civil aviation network system can be severely affected by natural hazards. Although a natural hazard is usually local, its impact, through the network topology, can become global. Inspired by Wilkinson’s work in 2012, this article proposes a new quantitative spatial vulnerability model for network...journal article 2016

(author), Ruiz, L (author), van der Velde, Y (author), Wade, AJ (author)In spite of trying to understand processes in the same spatial domain, the catchment<br/>hydrology and water quality scientific communities are relatively disconnected<br/>and so are their respective models. This is emphasized by an inadequate<br/>representation of transport processes, in both catchment-scale hydrological and<br/>water quality...journal article 2016

Psomadaki, S (author), van Oosterom, P.J.M. (author), Tijssen, T.P.M. (author), Baart, F. (author)Point cloud usage has increased over the years. The development of low-cost sensors makes it now possible to acquire frequent point cloud measurements on a short time period (day, hour, second). Based on the requirements coming from the coastal monitoring domain, we have developed, implemented and benchmarked a spatio-temporal point cloud data...journal article 2016

de Visser, C.C. (author), Brunner, A.E. (author), Verhaegen, M.H.G. (author)The distributed-spline-based aberration reconstruction (D-SABRE) method is proposed for distributed wavefront reconstruction with applications to large-scale adaptive optics systems. D-SABRE decomposes the wavefront sensor domain into any number of partitions and solves a local wavefront reconstruction problem on each partition using...journal article 2016

Yoo, H.W. (author), van Royen, M.E. (author), van Cappellen, WA (author), Houtsmuller, AB (author), Verhaegen, M.H.G. (author), Schitter, G (author)The pinhole plays an important role in confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) for adaptive optics (AO) as well as in imaging, where the size of the pinhole denotes a trade-off between out-of-focus rejection and wavefront distortion. This contribution proposes an AO system for a commercial CLSM with an adjustable square pinhole to cope with...conference paper 2016

Ramdin, M. (author), Becker, T. (author), Jamali, S.H. (author), Wang, M. (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author)Monte Carlo (MC) simulations in ensembles with a fixed chemical potential or fugacity, for example the grand-canonical or the osmotic ensemble, are often used to compute phase equilibria. Chemical potentials can be computed either with an equation of state (EoS) or from molecular simulations. The accuracy of the computed chemical potentials...journal article 2016

(author)We present an investigation of the magnetic-field-temperature phase diagram of Cu2OSeO3 based on dc magnetization and ac susceptibility measurements covering a broad frequency range of four orders of magnitude, from very low frequencies reaching 0.1 Hz up to 1 kHz. The experiments were performed in the vicinity of Tc=58.2 K and around the...journal article 2016

(author)In this manuscript, we present a lens setup for large defocus and astigmatism correction. A deformable defocus lens and two rotational cylindrical lenses are used to control the defocus and astigmatism. The setup is calibrated using a simple model that allows the calculation of the lens inputs so that a desired defocus and astigmatism are...conference paper 2016

(author), Mohd Shafian, SR (author), Kamarul Bahrim, RZ (author)Foam can increase sweep efficiency within a porous medium, which is useful for oil-recovery processes[1]. The flow of foam in porous media is a complex process that depends on properties like permeability, porosity and surface chemistry, but also temperature. Although the surface activity of surfactants as a function of temperature is well...journal article 2016

Haffner, M.E.A. (author), Winters, S (author)Belgium devolved administrative and budgetary responsibility for the favourable income tax treatment of owner-occupied dwellings to its administrative regions in July 2014. This change allowed the regions to redesign their housing-related tax instruments. This paper examines a tax policy reorientation of the Flemish Region. It specifically...journal article 2016

Hermans, M.H. (author), van Zoest, S.P. (author), Volker, L. (author)The construction sector is changing, and commissioning organisations have to rethink the way they approach the market. This is especially important for client organisations operating in the public domain, because of their role as change agent in the sector and their social responsibilities. The ‘Public Commissioning Maturity Model’ (PCMM), first...conference paper 2016

(author), Misra, S (author)Needle insertion procedures are commonly performed in current clinical practice for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Although prevailing technology allows accurate localization of lesions, they cannot yet be precisely targeted. Needle steering is a promising technique to overcome this challenge. In this paper, we describe the development...conference paper 2016

Zhang, Y. (author), Ye, G. (author)In engineering practise, interior relative humidity (RH) of concrete significantly affects the transport properties and thus the service life of concrete structures. In this paper, the development of RH due to self-desiccation in blended cement pastes was studied from 1 day to 1.5 years. The pore structure and non-evaporable water content at...conference paper 2016

(author)A large number of existing reinforced concrete solid slab bridges in the Netherlands are found to be insufficient for shear upon assessment. However, research has shown additional sources of capacity in slab bridges, increasing their total capacity and possibly changing their failure mode. Previous testing was limited to half-scale slab...journal article 2016
