Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), van der Neut, J.R. (author), Slob, E.C. (author)In wave theory, the homogeneous Green’s function consists of the impulse response to a point source, minus its time-reversal. It can be represented by a closed boundary integral. In many practical situations, the closed boundary integral needs to be approximated by an open boundary integral because the medium of interest is often accessible from...journal article 2016

Liu, Yi (author), van der Neut, J.R. (author), Arntsen, B (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)A novel application of seismic interferometry (SI) and Marchenko imaging using both surface and borehole data is presented. A series of redatuming schemes is proposed to combine both data sets for robust deep local imaging in the presence of velocity uncertainties. The redatuming schemes create a virtual acquisition geometry where both sources...journal article 2016

van der Veen, R.A.C. (author), Hakvoort, R.A. (author)In the unbundled national electricity markets in Europe, the balancing market is the institutional arrangement that deals with the balancing of electricity demand and supply. This paper presents a framework for policy makers that identifies the relevant design variables and performance criteria that play a role in the design and analysis of...journal article 2016

Lu, P. (author), van Kampen, E. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author), Chu, Q. P. (author)This paper deals with aircraft trajectory control in the presence of model uncertainties and actuator faults. Existing approaches, such as adaptive backstepping and nonlinear dynamic inversion with online model identi_cation, can be applied. However, since there are a number of unknown aerodynamic derivatives, the tuning of parameter update law...journal article 2016

Sturm, G.S.J. (author), Navarrete Muñoz, A. (author), Aravind, P.V. (author), Stefanidis, G. (author)Gasification technology may combine waste treatment with energy generation. Conventional gasification processes are bulky and inflexible. By using an external energy source, in the form of microwave-generated plasma, equipment size may be reduced and flexibility as regards to the feed composition may be increased. This type of gasification...journal article 2016

Coupling Nile Basin 2050 scenarios with the IPCC 2100 projections for climate-induced risk reductionOnencan, A.M. (author), Enserink, B. (author), van de Walle, B.A. (author), Chelang, J. (author)Scenarios are valuable tools that could support decision making under deep uncertainty, nevertheless, their potential remains untapped. The paper explores whether participatory scenario construction in the form of stories coupled with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2100 projections may contribute to increased utility of...journal article 2016

Alsema, EA (author), Anink, D (author), Meijer, A. (author), Straub, A. (author), Donze, G (author)A new methodology is proposed to assess integral performance of building with respect to energy and materials requirement over the building life cycle. Because the method builds on existing methods for Energy Performance and Materials Performance of Buildings, as defined by Dutch National Building Code, it provides an easily applicable method...journal article 2016

Lokhorst, G.J.C. (author)Some years ago, Lokhorst proposed an intuitionistic reformulation of Mally's deontic logic (1926). This reformulation was unsatisfactory, because it provided a striking theorem that Mally himself did not mention. In this paper, we present an alternative reformulation of Mally's deontic logic that does not provide this theorem.journal article 2016

Kartashova, T. (author), Sekulovski, D (author), de Ridder, H. (author), te Pas, SF (author), Pont, S.C. (author)Human observers have been demonstrated to be sensitive to the local (physical) light field, or more<br/>precisely, to the primary direction, intensity, and diffuseness of the light at a point in a space. In the<br/>present study we focused on the question of whether it is possible to reconstruct the global visual light field, based on observers’...journal article 2016

Suba, R. (author), Meijers, B.M. (author), van Oosterom, P.J.M. (author)Until now, road network generalization has mainly been applied to the task of generalizing from one fixed source scale to another fixed target scale. These actions result in large differences in content and representation, e.g., a sudden change of the representation of road segments from areas to lines, which may confuse users. Therefore, we aim...journal article 2016

(author)Every 2 to 7 years, Kenya experiences a reoccurrence of El-Niño rains leading to loss of life and massive damage to property. The 1997/98 El-Niño floods affected 1.5 million persons and led to an estimated USD 1.2 billion infrastructural damage, USD 236 million agricultural damage and USD 9 million on other losses (property, soil erosion,...journal article 2016

Yoon, J. (author), Pohlmeyer, A.E. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)<p> The range of positive emotions experienced in human-product interactions is diverse, and understanding the differences and similarities between these positive emotions can support emotion-driven design. Yet, there is little knowledge about what kind of tool would be effective to leverage the differentiated nature of positive emotions in...conference paper 2016

Wang, B. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author)The random material point method (RMPM), which combines random field theory and the material point method (MPM), is proposed. It differs from the random finite-element method (RFEM), by assigning random field (cell) values to material points that are free to move relative to the computational grid rather than to Gauss points in a conventional...journal article 2016
