Negro, E. (author), Latsuzbaia, R. (author), De Vries, A.H. (author), Koper, G.J.M. (author)Microemulsions are exciting systems that are promising as tuneable self-assembling templating reaction vessels at the nanoscale. Determination of the nano-structure of microemulsions is, however, not trivial, and there are fundamental questions regarding their design. We were able to reproduce experimental data for an important microemulsion...journal article 2014

Tan, R.E. (author)An understanding of cities as open systems whose agents act on them simultaneously from below and above, influencing urban processes by their interaction with them and with each other, is replacing the simplistic debate on urban participation which asks whether cities should be organized bottom-up or top-down. This conceptualization of cities as...doctoral thesis 2014

Fagiani, R. (author)The European Union set ambitious goals regarding the production of electricity from renewable energy sources and the majority of European governments have implemented policies stimulating investments in such technologies. Support schemes differ in many aspects, not only in their effectivity and efficiency but also in the long-term incentives...doctoral thesis 2014

Chaves Avila, J.P. (author)The EU has ambitious policies for decarbonization of the electricity sector. Due to recent technological developments, wind power already represents a significant share of the generation mix in some European countries. As a result, short-term electricity markets and balancing arrangements must be redesigned to accommodate the increasing...doctoral thesis 2014

Vaissier, P.E.B. (author)Nowadays, tomographic imaging techniques are inseparable from modern medical practice as they allow non-invasive 3-dimensional visualization of the interior of a patient in order to e.g. establish a medical diagnosis, or to monitor disease progression and the effects of disease treatment. Next to clinical use, tomographic imaging techniques are...doctoral thesis 2014

Dogulu, N. (author), Lopez Lopez, P. (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author), Weerts, A.H. (author), Shrestha, D.L. (author)In operational hydrology, estimation of predictive uncertainty of hydrological models used for flood modelling is essential for risk based decision making for flood warning and emergency management. In the literature, there exists a variety of methods analyzing and predicting uncertainty. However, case studies comparing performance of these...journal article 2014

Rotteveel, E. (author), Hekkenberg, R.G. (author), Liu, J. (author)For inland ships, state-of-the-art hull form design is to a large extent based on experience, common sense, or adjusting previous designs. The idea therefore arises that further optimization is possible if the right knowledge is available. This knowledge is insufficiently available due to two main reasons. First, research into inland ship...conference paper 2014

(author)Transients from lightning strikes can enter underground cables at overhead line to power cable transitions. Possible overvoltages on these surges at cross-bonding connections of the cable screens are of major concern. A model is developed for modelling overvoltages from transient signal propagation through a combined cross-bonding cable and box....journal article 2014

Aghaei Lashgari, V. (author)Advanced high strength steels (AHSS) have been used extensively in the automotive industries. The main characteristic of these steels is combination of high strength and enhanced formability that makes them very attractive for automotive application. However, the major drawback of these steels is their poor corrosion resistance. Hence, Hot-dip...doctoral thesis 2014

Liu, J. (author), Hekkenberg, R.G. (author), Rotteveel, E. (author)Inland ship manoeuvrability has more complex features than that of sea-going ships due to constrains of inland waterways and complicated ship configurations. In order to clarify the complexity of manoeuvring, impact factors of navigation environment and ship particulars are first analysed to point out the determinants for evaluation. After...conference paper 2014

Hekkenberg, R.G. (author)There is very little publicly available data about the building cost of inland ships, especially for ships that have dimensions that differ significantly from those of common ships. Also, no methods to determine the building cost of inland ships are described in literature. In this paper, a method to estimate the building cost of inland ships is...conference paper 2014
