Steenhuisen, B.M. (author), de Bruijne, M.L.C. (author)Network companies fulfill a critical role in the energy transition. The is article provides an empirical study of this role of a Dutch national gas network company connecting a biogas producer. This project requires choices about many intertwined technical and institutional variables. Choices involve multiple, potentially competing public values...journal article 2016

(author), Schneider, L (author), Biscarini,, F. (author), de Leeuw, D.M. (author), Gomes, H.L. (author)Glioma patients often suffer from epileptic seizures because of the tumor’s impact on the brain physiology. Using the rat glioma cell line C6 as a model system, we performed long-term live recordings of the electrical activity of glioma populations in an ultrasensitive detection method. The transducer exploits large-area electrodes that maximize...journal article 2016

(author)Simulations of a stiff rotor configuration of the DTU 10MW Reference Wind Turbine are performed in order to assess the impact of prescribed flap motion on the aerodynamic loads on a blade sectional and rotor integral level. Results of the engineering models used by DTU (HAWC2), TUDelft (Bladed) and NTUA (hGAST) are compared to the CFD...conference paper 2016

Lamers, K. (author), Tijmons, S. (author), de Wagter, C. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)Obstacle detection by monocular vision is challenging because a single camera does not provide a direct measure for absolute distances to objects. A self-supervised learning approach is proposed that combines a camera and a very small short-range proximity sensor to find the relation between the appearance of objects in camera images and their...conference paper 2016

Mannucci, T. (author), van Kampen, E. (author)Goal-finding in an unknown maze is a challenging problem for a Reinforcement Learning agent, because the corresponding state space can be large if not intractable, and the agent does not usually have a model of the environment. Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning has been shown in the past to improve tractability and learning time of complex...conference paper 2016

Gough, M.K. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), MacMahan, JH (author), Howden, SD (author)The inertial frequency is nearly diurnal at 30°N latitude which transects the northeastern Gulf of Mexico (NeGoM). At this latitude, near-surface inertial oscillations can amplify due to resonance with diurnal wind forcing. Diurnal oscillations have also been attributed to diurnal tidal forcing in this region. Because tidal forcing, wind forcing...journal article 2016

Ren, S. (author), Bertels, K.L.M. (author), Al-Ars, Z. (author)In order to handle the massive raw data generated by next generation sequencing (NGS) platforms, GPUs are widely used by many genetic analysis tools to speed up the used algorithms. In this paper, we use GPUs to accelerate the pair-HMMs forward algorithm, which is used to calculate the overall alignment probability in many genomics analysis...conference paper 2016

Wennersten, Ronald (author), Sun, Q (author), de Jong, W.M. (author)Great efforts have been made in China to reduce coal consumption over the last decade. However, the energy transition to more sustainable energy systems will be gradual and take a longer time than expected. This paper discusses how sustainable development of energy systems on the local level can be gradually achieved. A challenge will be to...journal article 2016

Gallarati, C. (author), Veraar, M.C. (author)In this paper we study maximal Lp-regularity for evolution equations with time-dependent operators A. We merely assume a measurable dependence on time. In the first part of the paper we present a new sufficient condition for the Lp-boundedness of a class of vector-valued singular integrals which does not rely on Hörmander conditions in the time...journal article 2016

(author)Aquatic vegetation in the coastal zone attenuates wave energy and reduces the risk of coastal hazards, e.g., flooding. Besides the attenuation of sea-swell waves, vegetation may also affect infragravity-band (IG) waves and wave setup. To date, knowledge on the effect of vegetation on IG waves and wave setup is lacking, while they are potentially...journal article 2016

Khait, M. (author), Voskov, D.V. (author)Non-isothermal multiphase compositional simulation is based on the solution of governing equations describing mass and energy transfer in the subsurface. The solution strategy requires a linearization of strongly nonlinear governing equations describing the process. Usually, a Newton-based method is used for the linearization that demands an...conference paper 2016

(author)A major challenge for the industrial deployment of a CO<sub>2</sub> emission reduction methodology is to reduce the overall cost and the integration of all the nodes in the supply chain for CO<sub>2</sub> emission reduction. In this work, we develop a mixed integer linear optimization model that selects appropriate sources, capture process,...conference paper 2016

Taal, A. (author), Itard, L.C.M. (author), Zeiler, W. (author), Zhao, Y (author)A much occurring problem in the Energy Management Systems of existing buildings and HVAC services is that the measurements are unreliable. In this article a methodology is described which can be used to determine the presence of errors in energy monitoring, caused by faulty measurements. These errors can be detected and subsequently diagnosed....conference paper 2016

In particular, we address how to obtain accurate approximate gradients when the underlying numerical mod- els contain uncertain parameters...journal article 2016

Sahai, A.K. (author), Simons, D.G. (author)This paper aims to present a way with which audible differences in measured and auralized (i.e. aurally simulated) aircraft noise can be quantified. The purpose of the study is to find a means with which the subjective differences between measured and synthesized sounds can be expressed in an objective manner. The quantification would firstly...conference paper 2016

Giyanani, A.H. (author), Bierbooms, W.A.A.M. (author), van Bussel, G.J.W. (author)Lidars have become increasingly useful for providing accurate wind speed measurements in front of the wind turbine. The wind field measured at distant meteorological masts changes its structure or was too distorted before it reaches the turbine. Thus, one cannot simply apply Taylor's frozen turbulence for representing this distant flow field at...journal article 2016
