Amsterdam 2049: Story-driven scenarios to prepare the city for autonomous vehicles

Out of all the countries in the world, the Netherlands has the most ‘autonomous vehicle’-ready road network (KPMG, 2019). It is the result of years of investing in state-of-the-art technologies and putting in place the needed policies, and it seems to pay off: our country is likely to be amongst the early adapters as soon as these vehicles enter...

The elevated metro structure in concrete, UHPC and composite

In some large cities, the infrastructure is elevated high above the ground. An elevated metro system has the advantage that its construction is cheaper compared to an underground metro system. The construction time is relative limited and the physical barrier is small. The large elevation has a positive influence on the visual hindrance of an...

Phase Separation in the system Low Density Polyethylene + Ethylene

For the further development of the high pressure polymerization process of ethylene a thorough knowledge of the phase behaviour of polyethylene + ethylene is necessary. Accurate prediction of phase separation under process conditions is important for both design and operation of reactor and separation units. Phase separation is influenced by...
