(author), Kreutzer, M.T. (author), van Ommen, J.R. (author)We tailored the size distribution of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) on graphene nanoplatelets at a given metal loading by using low-temperature atomic layer deposition carried out in a fluidized bed reactor operated at atmospheric pressure. The Pt NPs deposited at low temperature (100 °C) after 10 cycles were more active and stable towards the...journal article 2017

Localised estimation and control of linear instabilities in two-dimensional wall-bounded shear flowsTol, H.J. (author), Kotsonis, M. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author), Bamieh, B. (author)A new framework is presented for estimation and control of instabilities in wall-bounded shear flows described by the linearised Navier-Stokes equations. The control design considers the use of localised actuators/sensors to account for convective instabilities in an optimal control framework. External sources of disturbances are assumed to...journal article 2017

Qiao, Qiyun (author), Zhang, Wenwen (author), Qian, Zhiwei (author), Cao, Wanlin (author), Liu, Wenchao (author)In order to quantitatively evaluate the shear-bearing capacity of shear connectors of square concrete filled steel tube (CFST), push-out tests on 14 square CFSTs with shear connectors have been carried out. Among the 14 CFSTs, there are 13 specimens with steel plate connectors and one specimen with steel bar connectors. The following factors...journal article 2017

Wani, Omar (author), Beckers, Joost V.L. (author), Weerts, Albrecht H. (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author)A non-parametric method is applied to quantify residual uncertainty in hydrologic streamflow forecasting. This method acts as a post-processor on deterministic model forecasts and generates a residual uncertainty distribution. Based on instance-based learning, it uses a k nearest-neighbour search for similar historical hydrometeorological...journal article 2017

Spekkers, M.H. (author), Rözer, Viktor (author), Thieken, Annegret (author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author), Kreibich, Heidi (author)Flooding is assessed as the most important natural hazard in Europe, causing thousands of deaths, affecting millions of people and accounting for large economic losses in the past decade. Little is known about the damage processes associated with extreme rainfall in cities, due to a lack of accurate, comparable and consistent damage data. The...journal article 2017

Tang, H. (author), Ye, Huai-Yu (author), Chen, Xian-Ping (author), Qian, Cheng (author), Fan, Xue-Jun (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)In this paper, the heat transfer performance of the multi-chip (MC) LED module is investigated numerically by using a general analytical solution. The configuration of the module is optimized with genetic algorithm (GA) combined with a response surface methodology. The space between chips, the thickness of the metal core printed circuit board...journal article 2017

Jennings, Laurence (author), Waton, Gilles (author), Schosseler, François (author), Mendes, E. (author)Kinetically frozen copolymer micelles are commonly prepared by confining amphiphilic block copolymers in the evaporating dispersed phase of oil-in-water emulsions. We revisit the mechanisms of this process by examining its successive steps separately: the formation of the solvent/water interface, the emulsification, the solvent evaporation and...journal article 2017

Palomba, F. (author), Bavota, Gabriele (author), Di Penta, Massimiliano (author), Fasano, Fausto (author), Oliveto, Rocco (author), De Lucia, Andrea (author)Code smells are symptoms of poor design and implementation choices that may hinder code comprehensibility and maintainability. Despite the effort devoted by the research community in studying code smells, the extent to which code smells in software systems affect software maintainability remains still unclear. In this paper we present a large...journal article 2017

Bercioux, D (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author), Bergeret, F. S. (author)We investigate the transport properties of a junction consisting of an electron-hole bilayer in contact with normal and superconducting leads. The electron-hole bilayer is considered as a semimetal with two electronic bands. We assume that in the region between the contacts the system hosts an exciton condensate described by a BCS-like model...journal article 2017
