De weeshuizen van Jos Bedaux en Aldo van Eyck: Een zoektocht naar de verschillend en overeenkomsten van de weeshuizen gerealiseerd na de oorlog in vorm en verhaal

In de typologie van de weeshuizen voor de oorlog zijn voornamelijk veel traditionele indelingen te herkennen en zijn de vormentaal en de architectuur zelf niet karakteristiek voor de functie van weeshuizen. De weeshuizen gerealiseerd na de oorlog vertonen net als voor de oorlog ook overeenkomsten met elkaar zonder daadwerkelijk te zijn...

Supporting Space Traffic Management: A Road to Collision Avoidance Manoeuvring for Constellations

With the increase of satellite constellations in orbit, the need for a Space Traffic Management (STM) is becoming undeniable. Within the scope of STM, an impartial and optimized collision avoidance advice based on the perspective of two manoeuvrable satellites could encourage more active collision avoidance and pre- vent on-orbit collisions....

Understanding coastal dynamics at an ebb-tidal delta in the Wadden Sea: A case study of Schiermonnikoog NW with Delft3D Flexible Mesh

Schiermonnikoog is a Dutch barrier island with wide beaches and dunes which are both of importance for recreation as for safety. However, after decades of coastal accretion, in the last years, a strong coastline retreat is observed at the island head in the northwest. In tidal inlets, various forcing conditions of tides, waves, winds and...

Development of a brachytherapy device for cervical cancer: in case of lower vaginal involvement or distal parametrial extension

Brachytherapy is recommended in the treatment of cervical cancer. In case of a tumour extending lateral to the pelvic wall or more than 0.5 cm from the vaginal surface, current applicators are not sufficient to irradiate the target area. Therefore, the use of extra free-hand needles is required. Free-hand placement of interstitial needles is...

Influence of stiffeners on a variable stiffness laminate optimisation

Engineers are still looking for ways to improve the performance of materials used in aircraft. A major step was going from metal parts to laminates in order to save weight significantly. Those laminates existed of fibres with a constant orientation, and became laminates with changing fibre directions. Variable stiffness laminates (VSL) are used...
