Asadi, Kamal (author), van der Veen, M.A. (author)Ferroelectric metal–organic frameworks are emerging as an exciting field of research and have witnessed great progress in the last decade. In this contribution, we briefly discuss ferroelectricity and its means of demonstration. Three mechanisms that lead to ferroelectricity are identified and critically discussed. On the basis of the...journal article 2016

Versluis, F. (author), van Esch, J.H. (author), Eelkema, R. (author)Synthetic self-assembly has long been recognized as an excellent approach for the formation of ordered structures on the nanoscale. Although the development of synthetic self-assembling materials has often been inspired by principles observed in nature (e.g., the assembly of lipids, DNA, proteins), until recently the self-assembly of...journal article 2016

Nijland, TG (author), van Hees, R.P.J. (author)Occasionally, a profound but distant connection between volcano and culture exists. This is the case between the volcanic Eifel region in Germany and historic construction in the Netherlands, with the river Rhine as physical and enabling connection. Volcanic tuff from the Eifel comprises a significant amount of the building mass in Dutch...journal article 2016

Viseu Cardoso, Rodrigo (author), Meijers, E.J. (author)The centrality of metropolitan regions in policy and research does not mean they are perceived by their population as having a meaningful identity. This affects their political legitimacy, economic development prospects and place qualities. However, the ongoing scalar expansion of our spatial attachments creates the potential for a metropolitan...journal article 2016

Onencan, A.M. (author), van de Walle, B.A. (author), Enserink, B. (author), Chelang, J. (author), Kulei, F. (author)Nile Basin policy makers, at all levels, are constantly making quick decisions to address emergencies. The decisions are made in the context of a complex, uncertain, ever-changing and highly volatile basin. However, for these decisions to take into account future uncertainties, like climate-change induced disasters, policy makers need to...journal article 2016

Moerland, R.J. (author), Weppelman, I.G.C. (author), Garming, M.W.H. (author), Kruit, P. (author), Hoogenboom, J.P. (author)We show cathodoluminescence-based time-resolved electron beam spectroscopy in order to directly probe the spontaneous emission decay rate that is modified by the local density of states in a nanoscale environment. In contrast to dedicated laser-triggered electron-microscopy setups, we use commercial hardware in a standard SEM, which allows us to...journal article 2016

Papacharalampous, A.E. (author), Cats, O. (author), Lankhaar, Jan-Willem (author), Daamen, W. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Many of the transportation problems prevalent in urban areas culminate in large-scale events. Such events generate large multimodal flows that arrive and depart within short time intervals to constrained areas. Monitoring and managing big events pose a challenge for transport planners, operators, event organizers, and city officials. In this...journal article 2016

Peeters, M.M.M. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)As intelligent technology steadily becomes a part of modern societies, people collaborate with agents more frequently, and so agents need to be socially intelligent, i.e. personalised and context-sensitive. This paper introduces a context-sen-sitive personalisation framework for social agents that fa-<br/>cilitates the establishment of human...conference paper 2016

Bio-inspired supramolecular materials by orthogonal self-assembly of hydrogelators and phospholipidsBoekhoven, J. (author), Brizard, AMA (author), Stuart, M. C A (author), Florusse, L.J. (author), Raffy, G. (author), Del Guerzo, A. (author), van Esch, J.H. (author)The orthogonal self-assembly of multiple components is a powerful strategy towards the formation of complex biomimetic architectures, but so far the rules for designing such systems are unclear. Here we show how to identify orthogonal self-assembly at the supramolecular level and describe guidelines to achieve self-sorting in self-assembled...journal article 2016

Zhao, D (author), Asadi, Kamal (author), Groen, W.A. (author), Blom, PWM (author), de Leeuw, D.M. (author)A homogeneous ferroelectric single crystal exhibits only two remanent polarization states that are stable over time, whereas intermediate, or unsaturated, polarization states are thermodynamically instable. Commonly used ferroelectric materials however, are inhomogeneous polycrystalline thin films or ceramics. To investigate the stability of...journal article 2016

Lyamin, N. (author), Deng, Q. (author), Vinel, A (author)In this paper we evaluate the performance of platoon enabled by contemporary ITS-G5 vehicular communications through the number of simulation experiments. We assess platooning fuel consumption performance under two communication setups and estimate the potential influence of the communication system on the efficiency of the platooning. We also...conference paper 2016

(author)In many eukaryotes, the carnitine shuttle plays a key role in intracellular transport of acyl moieties. Fatty acidgrown Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells employ this shuttle to translocate acetyl units into their mitochondria. Mechanistically, the carnitine shuttle should be reversible, but previous studies indicate that carnitine shuttle...journal article 2016

Yu, W. (author), Ferreira, Carlos (author), van Kuik, G.A.M. (author), Baldacchino, D. (author)Although the Blade Element Momentum method has been derived for the steady conditions, it is used for unsteady conditions by using corrections of engineering dynamic inflow models. Its applicability in these cases is not yet fully verified. In this paper, the validity of the assumptions of quasi-steady state and annuli independence of the blade...journal article 2016

van Kuik, G.A.M. (author)Actuator disc theory is the basis for most rotor design methods, be it with many extensions and engineering rules added to make it a well-established method. However, the o_-design condition of a very low rotational speed of the disc is still a topic for scienti_c discussions.
