Li, J. (author), Menenti, M. (author), Mousivand, A. (author), Luthi, S.M. (author)Playas in endorheic basins are of environmental value and highly scientific because of their natural habitats of a wide variety of species and indicators for climatic changes and tectonic activities within continents. Remote sensing, due to its capability of acquiring repetitive data with synoptic coverage, provides a unique tool to monitor and...journal article 2014

Capelli, E. (author), Benes, O. (author), Konings, R.J.M. (author)The work presents the measured heat capacity of the (Li1?xCax)F1+x liquid solution. Four samples with different compositions have been prepared and measured using a Differential Scanning Calorimeter. Since this technique was newly adopted for measuring encapsulated fluoride samples, some modifications were introduced in the standard...journal article 2014

Fang, J. (author)The architecture diversity of many-core processors - with their different types of cores, and memory hierarchies - makes the old model of reprogramming every application for every platform infeasible. Therefore, inter-platform portability has become a desirable feature of programming models. While functional portability is ensured by standards...doctoral thesis 2014

Duan, Z. (author)There are millions of lakes and ten thousands of reservoirs in the world. The number of reservoirs is still increasing through the construction of large dams to meet the growing demand for water resources, hydroelectricity and economic development. Accurate information on the water balance components of lakes and reservoirs is deemed necessary...doctoral thesis 2014

(author)Background Clostridium thermocellum is a model thermophilic organism for the production of biofuels from lignocellulosic substrates. The majority of publications studying the physiology of this organism use substrate concentrations of ?10 g/L. However, industrially relevant concentrations of substrate start at 100 g/L carbohydrate, which...journal article 2014

Boksteen, S.Z. (author)This thesis investigates various operational aspects of Gas Turbine Combined Cycle Power Plants (GTCC). GTCC power plants are expected to play an increasingly important role in the balancing of supply and demand in the electricity grid. Although originally meant for predominantly base load operation with high efficiencies, market circumstances,...doctoral thesis 2014

Ingenito, A. (author), Isabella, O. (author), Zeman, M. (author)The need for cost reduction requires using less raw material and cost-effective processes without sacrificing the conversion efficiency. For keeping high the generated photo-current, an advanced light trapping scheme for ultra-thin silicon wafers is here proposed, exhibiting absorptances up to 99% of 4n2 classical absorption limit for wafer...conference paper 2014

(author)Background Staphylococcus aureus is a common human and animal opportunistic pathogen. In humans nasal carriage of S. aureus is a risk factor for various infections. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus ST398 is highly prevalent in pigs in Europe and North America. The mechanism of successful pig colonization by MRSA ST398 is poorly understood....journal article 2014

Akbari Pazooki, A.M. (author)The local material expansion and contraction involved in welding result in permanent deformations or instability i.e., welding distortion. Considerable efforts have been made in controlling welding distortion prior to, during or after welding. Thermal Tensioning (TT) describes a group of in-situ methods to control welding distortion. In these...doctoral thesis 2014

(author)The realization of a language design requires multiple artifacts that redundantly encode the same information. This entails significant effort for language implementors, and often results in late detection of errors in language definitions. In this paper we present a proof-of-concept language designer's workbench that supports generation of IDEs...conference paper 2014

Gong, J. (author), Rossen, W.R. (author)Fracture network connectivity and aperture (or conductivity) distribution are two crucial features controlling the flow behavior of fractured formations. The effect of connectivity on flow properties is well documented. We focus here on the influence of fracture aperture distribution. We model a two-dimensional fractured reservoir in which the...conference paper 2014

Stam, C.J. (author), Van der Velden, N.M. (author), Rubio, G. (author), Verlinden, J.C. (author)The maker culture has created a dynamic in which designers are less responsible for the design and quality of the final product, but for the tools the consumer uses to create their own. While additive manufacturing (AM) is gaining acceptance among the general public, it is still seen as a prototyping tool instead of a high quality production...conference paper 2014
