Derivation of the dispersion relation of spin-waves and their off-resonant detection using NV centers in diamond

<br/>Spin-waves, the propagation of circular preccession of spins, have been offered as a way to replace electric currents as information carriers. The overwhelming advantage being the lack of moving charges and Ohmic losses. In this context, the search for an efficient method of detection of becomes crucial. Nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond...

Algorithmic study of 2-interval graphs

Interval graphs play an important role in graph theory and have intensively been studied for over sixty years due to their wide range of applications and because most NP-hard problems on general graphs become solvable in linear time on interval graphs. However, the class of interval graphs is restricted and does not even contain a cycle of...

Evaluation of settlement models for sand under the influence of cyclic loads induced by automatic stacking cranes

Six cyclic settlement models for sand are evaluated to analyse the settlement of automatic stacking crane (ASC) rail tracks at the Rotterdam World Gateway (RWG) container terminal. During Phase 1 of the RWG container terminal settlement of the rail tracks occurred at multiple locations after the ASCs became operational....

Optimization of via points: bridging the gap between simulationspeed and biological fidelity of musculoskeletal models

When designing musculoskeletal models for forwardsimulation studies, a tradeoff must be made between biologicalfidelity and computational efficiency. A method is proposedthat optimizes the coordinates of via points of muscle paths,used in relatively simple musculoskeletal models, such that themuscle moment arms match those of more complex...

The Bathyard: A Public Courtyard

The main concept of the design is to consider the thermal baths, and pools like the “public void”. Therefore the Bathyard proposes a gradient of 'publicness' using baths as a mean for interactions between the visitors and the inhabitants. More precisely, the building offers a public plinths of Thermal Baths and Pools, inhabiting the courtyard of...

Vrouwezand, eiland in het IJsselmeer: Studie naar de mogelijkheden van pps

Building a new island? For recreational and living purposes? At first glance this seems like an impossible task due to the economical crises and the political sensitivity of the chosen location. But in fact it is this unique location and the possibility that government and private parties join forces in economical hard times that gives the...
