Amiri Simkooei, A. (author), Mohammadloo, Tannaz H. (author), Argus, D.F. (author)The second reprocessing of all GPS data gathered by the Analysis Centers of IGS was conducted in late 2013 using the latest models and methodologies. Improved models of antenna phase center variations and solar radiation pressure in JPL’s reanalysis are expected to significantly reduce errors. In an earlier work, JPL estimates of position time...journal article 2017

van Loenen, B. (author), Ubacht, J. (author), Labots, Wouter (author), Zuiderwijk-van Eijk, A.M.G. (author)Following open data policies worldwide, an increasing number of public organisations has now published open data that is free to be used by anyone. However, despite the significant increase in use of this open data, the open data<br/>providers are mostly not aware of their users and the way in which the data is actually re-used. This is rooted...conference paper 2017

Koekkoek, R.T. (author), Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Boer, A. de (author), Hordijk, D.A. (author)As the bridge stock in The Netherlands and Europe is ageing, various methods to analyse existing bridges are bemg studied. Proof loading of bridges is an option to study the capacity when crucial information about the structure is lacking. This information could be related to the material (for example, the effect of alkali-silica reaction on the...conference paper 2016

Stougie, L. (author)A major challenge in striving for a more sustainable society is the selection of technological systems. Given the capital intensity of industrial production plants, power generation systems and infrastructure, investment decisions create path dependencies for decades to come. It is difficult to know which technological system is preferable when...doctoral thesis 2014

Bokel, R.M.J. (author), Yang, Z. (author), Cauberg, J.J.M. (author)In order to improve the quality of ventilation systems, assessments are widely used. In this paper, 3 main assessment levels are distinguished based on the number of ventilation systems to be assessed and the assessment objective. The main assessment levels distinguished in this paper are global level (the assessment concerns a set of...conference paper 2013

Surmeli-Anac, A.N. (author)Windows and doors are essential elements of buildings. These seemingly simple components have become increasingly complex over the last decades. They have to fulfil an increased number of functions which ask for contradictory solutions and need to comply with more and more severe requirements. Windows and doors need to be transparent to allow...doctoral thesis 2013

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Van der Veen, C. (author), Walraven, J.C. (author), De Boer, A. (author)The capacity of reinforced concrete solid slab bridges in shear is assessed by comparing the design beam shear resistance to the design value of the applied shear force due to the permanent actions and live loads. Results from experiments on half-scale continuous slab bridges are used to develop a set of recommendations for the assessment of...conference paper 2013

Yao, W. (author), Chen, X. (author), Zhao, Y. (author), Van Tooren, M.J.L. (author)To comprehensively assess fractionated spacecraft, an assessment tool is developed based on lifecycle simulation under uncertainty driven by modular evolutionary stochastic models. First, fractionated spacecraft nomenclature and architecture are clarified, and assessment criteria are analyzed. The mean and standard deviation of risk adjusted...journal article 2012

Janic, M. (author)This paper deals with developing an indicator system for monitoring, analyzing, and assessing sustainability of airports. The sustainability implies simultaneous increasing of the overall socialeconomic benefits and increasing at a slower rate, stagnating, and/or diminishing of the negative impacts of these airports during the specified medium-...journal article 2010

Hoonhout, B.M. (author), Den Heijer, C. (author)The dune assessment methods used to ensure the safety of the lower areas in The Netherlands are based on simple empirical relations that are, strictly speaking, only valid for infinitely long, uniform and straight coasts. The wide application of these relations is mainly justified due to intentional overestimation of the expected dune erosion....conference paper 2010

Nilsson, M.A. (author)The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to understanding what makes a policymaking system better at integrating sustainability concerns into its processes. Three questions are in focus. First, how can policy integration be understood analytically and what is its actual status in sector policy? Second, what conditions have facilitated or...doctoral thesis 2005
