Pioneering start-ups' first mover advantages and success factors in B2B service markets

Less attention has been given to first mover or pioneer advantages (FMA) for services than for physical products. Likewise, less attention has been given to FMA for business-to-business (B2B) markets than for business-to-customer markets. This research investigates FMA for B2B services using a grounded theory approach in existing academic...

Comfortable aging in the Airey strip

Because of the aging population in the Netherlands there will be a shortage of suitable housing for the elderly. Older people have an increased risk of chronic diseases. It is therefore very important to look at the specific thermal and physical requirements when designing for elderly, so that the building can contribute to the health of the...

At your service! Circular business model prototypes for a service provider in the construction industry

In recent years the circular economy has gained significant popularity, however practical implementation of the concept has not followed accordingly. Especially in the construction industry there is a need for a practical translation of the concept. This research makes this translation through the mutual development of circular economy theory...

HiveArcs - Visualizing genome co-expression data

The developing human brain is a complex process, governed by the human genome. Understanding this development process is the key to understanding not only the connections between genes and brain functioning, but can also advance knowledge about disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Autism. The BrainSpan transcriptional atlas, released in 2013 by the...

Influence of liquefaction on scour around offshore monopile foundations

Scour hole formation around offshore monopile foundations is a threat for the structure’s stability. Large uncertainty leads to conservatism in design codes and hence to high construction costs. Under the same hydrodynamic loading as for scour hole formation the soil can liquefy due to structural vibrations or waves. The aim of this study is to...

Modelling of Scour Depth at Quay Walls due to Thrusters

Introduction Inland and seagoing vessels are equipped with (bow) thrusters. The use of these thrusters can cause scour of the bed alongside a quay wall. In order to assess the consequences of local scour due to bow thrusters on the design of the structure it is desirable to know the dimensions of the scour holes as a function of in time....

Linkbuildingtool, te vinden op linkbuildingtoo.nl, is een webtool waarmee het linkbuilding proces georganiseerd kan worden....

LDA experiments on a mixing layer

Investigation on plane turbulent two phase mixing layers serves to get insight in the mutual interaction between the behaviour of the injected gas bubbles and the turbulence of the liquid phase. An experimental setup for investigations on such a mixing layer has been built. The measuring section is 20 cm in depth, 40 cm in width, and 150 cm in...
