Bosman, Pieter (author)Large quantities of mine tailings are stored in mine tailings storage facilities. These facilities are only costing money for mining companies. In addition, these tailings storage facilities are prone to failure. To prevent this from happening these facilities have to be reinforced. This research introduces a concept to use geotextile tubes...master thesis 2019

This means that in the future the construction materials will be selected on the basis of the contribution they can make to reach sustainability requirements. Geopolymers are materials based on by-products from industries. By using...journal article 2019

Kleinrouweler, Jan Willem (author), Meixner, Britta (author), Bosman, Joost (author), Van Den Berg, Hans (author), Van Der Mei, Rob (author), Cesar, Pablo (author)Frequent variations in throughput make mobile networks a challenging environment for video streaming. Current video players deal with those variations by matching video quality to network throughput. However, this adaptation strategy results in frequent changes of video resolution and bitrate, which negatively impacts the users' streaming...conference paper 2018

Virgolin, M. (author), Alderliesten, Tanja (author), Bel, Arjan (author), Witteveen, C. (author), Bosman, P.A.N. (author)The recently introduced Gene-pool Optimal Mixing Evolutionary Algorithm for Genetic Programming (GP-GOMEA) has been shown to find much smaller solutions of equally high quality compared to other state-of-the-art GP approaches. This is an interesting aspect as small solutions better enable human interpretation. In this paper, an adaptation of...conference paper 2018

Bosman, S.J. (author), Gely, M.F. (author), Singh, Vibhor (author), Bruno, A. (author), Bothner, D. (author), Steele, G.A. (author)With the introduction of superconducting circuits into the field of quantum optics, many experimental demonstrations of the quantum physics of an artificial atom coupled to a single-mode light field have been realized. Engineering such quantum systems offers the opportunity to explore extreme regimes of light-matter interaction that are...journal article 2017

Bosman, S.J. (author), Gely, M.F. (author), Singh, Vibhor (author), Bothner, D. (author), Castellanos-Gomez, Andres (author), Steele, G.A. (author)In this experiment, we couple a superconducting transmon qubit to a high-impedance 645Ω microwave resonator. Doing so leads to a large qubit-resonator coupling rate g, measured through a large vacuum Rabi splitting of 2g≃910 MHz. The coupling is a significant fraction of the qubit and resonator oscillation frequencies ω, placing our system...journal article 2017

Cohen, M.A. (author), Yuan, M. (author), de Jong, B.W.A. (author), Beukers, Ewout (author), Bosman, S.J. (author), Steele, G.A. (author)We report on a technique for applying a DC bias in a 3D microwave cavity. We achieve this by isolating the two halves of the cavity with a dielectric and directly using them as DC electrodes. As a proof of concept, we embed a variable capacitance diode in the cavity and tune the resonant frequency with a DC voltage, demonstrating the...journal article 2017

Electrostatically driving the drum with a resonant AC voltage, we detect its motion using a superconducting microwave cavity. From the temperature dependence of mechanical resonance frequencies...journal article 2017

A Multi-Objective Optimization Framework for Offshore Wind Farm Layouts and Electric InfrastructuresFragoso Rodrigues, S.M. (author), Restrepo, C. (author), Katsouris, G. (author), Teixeira Pinto, R. (author), Soleimanzadeh, M. (author), Bosman, P. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Current offshore wind farms (OWFs) design processes are based on a sequential approach which does not guarantee system optimality because it oversimplifies the problem by discarding important interdependencies between design aspects. This article presents a framework to integrate, automate and optimize the design of OWF layouts and the...journal article 2016

Fragoso Rodrigues, S.M. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Bosman, P.A.N. (author)Currently, Offshore Wind Farms (OWFs) are designed to achieve high turbine density so as to reduce costs. However, due to wake interferences, densely packing turbines reduces energy production. Having insight into optimized trade-offs between energy production, capital investment and operational costs would be valuable to OWFs designers. To...journal article 2016

Scholten, D.J. (author), Bosman, Rick (author)This paper explores the potential political implications of the geographic and technical characteristics of renewable energy systems. This is done through a thought experiment that imagines a purely renewable based energy system, keeping all else equal. We start by noting that all countries have access to some form of renewable energy, though...journal article 2016

Bosman, H.J. (author)The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether energy storage devices can be used in order to reduce the local, harmful, polluting emissions of an urban ferry. This is investigated by modeling zero emission energy storage devices (ESDs) in the power and propulsion configuration of a benchmark urban ferry. This benchmark ferry provides the...master thesis 2015
