This new type of learning is called Trias Discere. Trias Discere is a combination of broad knowledge, deep knowledge, and experience. The research has been done by asking...

Operational range of a ferrofluid pocket bearing

Ferrofluid bearings provide a cheap and passive alternative to contactless bearings such as magnetic bearings and fluid bearings. The absence of stick-slip and the low viscous friction make them interesting for high precision applications. Despite the theoretical models available in literature, the number of design rules for ferrofluid bearings...

The in-transparency of the Amsterdam office market - The underlying incentive and effective rental price development: A quantitative research into the market dynamics and spatial segmentation of the Amsterdam office market over the period 2002-2012

The Amsterdam office market is characterized by large fluctuations in vacancy rates the last 10 years.
