Finite Element Modeling of Shear Failure in Prestressed Girders with a Continuous Cast-In-Situ Deck Slab

For structures whose structural safety cannot be demonstrated using the applicable code regulations, a nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) can be used to investigate the structural behavior and maximum load capacity. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management uses a dedicated guideline for NLFEA in such an assessment....

Collaborative spatial planning in the face of flood risk in delta cities: A policy framing perspective

Integration of flood risk in spatial planning is increasingly seen as a way to enhance cities’ resilience to the growing flood hazards, albeit its operationalisation remains challenging. This study aims to explain the reasons for this difficulty through the case study of Guangzhou, a Chinese delta city that is highly vulnerable to coastal,...

Changing Values on Water in Delta Cities

Delta cities worldwide are confronted with great challenges concerning flood risks, environmental pressures and other water-related urban issues. The complexity in both physical and social dimensions lies in diverse (and in many cases conflicting) values held by a wide variety of actors in spatial development. These values are shaped by the long...

A Research on the Transformation of Urban Form And Dynamics of Xiguan Area, Guangzhou

This paper mainly uses the method of Urban Morphology to study the transformation process of urban form of Xiguan historical district in Guangzhou, P.R.China. The paper tries to analyze the transformation process through studying the background of politics, economy, society, culture and natural condition of Xiguan area. It further discusses the...

Acclimation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to Low Temperature: A Chemostat-based Transcriptome Analysis

Effects of suboptimal temperatures on transcriptional regulation in yeast have been extensively studied in batch cultures. To eliminate indirect effects of specific growth rates that are inherent to batch-cultivation studies, genome-wide transcriptional responses to low temperatures were analyzed in steady-state chemostats, grown at a fixed...

Physiological impact and context dependency of transcriptional responses: A chemostat study in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

This thesis is a compilation of a four-year PhD project on bakers' yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Since the entire S. cerevisiae genome sequence became available in 1996, DNA-microarray analysis has become a popular high-information-density tool for analyzing gene expression in this important industrial microorganism and model eukaryote. This...
