(author), Charbon-Iwasaki-Charbon, E. (author), Ursin, Rupert (author)Quantum communication is a prime space technology application and offers near-term possibilities for long-distance quantum key distribution (QKD) and experimental tests of quantum entanglement. However, there exists considerable developmental risks and subsequent costs and time required to raise the technological readiness level of...journal article 2017

(author), Krijgsman, Wout (author), Smit, Jan (author), Collinson, Margaret E. (author), Kuiper, Klaudia F. (author)Fluvial systems in which peat formation occurs are typified by autogenic processes such as river meandering, crevasse splaying and channel avulsion. Nevertheless, autogenic processes cannot satisfactorily explain the repetitive nature and lateral continuity of many coal seams (compacted peats). The fluvial lower Palaeocene Tullock Member of...journal article 2017

Hoeijmakers, H. J. (author), Arts, M.L.J. (author), Snik, F. (author), Keller, C.U. (author), Kuiper, J.M. (author)We provide a proof of the technical feasibility of LOUPE, the first integral-field snapshot spectropolarimeter, designed to monitor the reflected flux and polarization spectrum of Earth. These are to be used as benchmark data for the retrieval of biomarkers and atmospheric and surface characteristics from future direct observations of...journal article 2016

Van den Bos, J.P. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Kuiper, C. (author)This paper presents the results of a systematic validation of numerical simulation of reflection and transmission of rubble-mound breakwater structures. The aim of the study is to provide a body of validation measurements for increasingly complex situations, starting simple and building up the comlexity in terms of breawater geometry, wave...conference paper 2015

Kuiper, E. (author), Van Dam, F. (author), Reiter, A. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)Cloud adoption in the public sector is taking off slowly, which is perceived as a problem. Models of factors influencing cloud adoption are derived for better understanding using literature and results obtained via desk research and surveys by the Cloud for Europe project. We conclude that several factors require further research, such as the...conference paper 2014

(author), Muggeridge, K. (author), Wallenburg, C. (author), Wu, J. F. (author), Jefferies, M. (author)The paper deals with the classical ice engineering challenge of ice-induced vibrations (IIV) of offshore platforms. There is still a general industry concern with aspects of IIV and the load amplification that can arise in some situations resulting from ice interaction with a structure. It was thought important to re-visit current design...journal article 2013

Kuiper, J.M. (author)Mass-spring and liquid dampers enable structural vibration control to attenuate single, coupled lateral and torsional vibrations in diverse structures. Out of these, the passively tuned liquid damper (TLD) class is wanted due to its broad applicability, extreme reliability, robustness, long life time and ease of manufacturability. In this PhD...doctoral thesis 2012

Kuiper, S. (author)This research is focused on improving the mechatronic design and control strategies of Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM) in order to increase the imaging speed of these instruments, while maintaining the resolution and accuracy of AFM. Different techniques are developed which have led to a faster lateral scanning speed, higher bandwidth control of...doctoral thesis 2012

Steininger, J. (author), Kuiper, S. (author), Schitter, G. (author), Ito, S. (author)In atomic force microscopy (AFM) high-performance and high precision control of the scanning-system is crucial. At high imaging speeds the dynamic behaviour of the scanner may cause imaging artefacts limiting the maximum imaging rate. This contribution discusses recent improvements for faster imaging by utilizing modern mechatronic and control...journal article 2012

Kuiper, B.R. (author), Visser, H.G. (author), Heblij, S. (author)This paper presents the development of a runway allocation planning tool that seeks to maximize the permissible number of flight operations into and out of an airport within a given annual noise budget. Although the model that underlies the planning tool is generic in nature, the tool has been customized for application to a specific airport,...conference paper 2011
