Trambauer, P. (author), Maskey, S. (author), Werner, M. (author), Pappenberger, F. (author), Van Beek, L.P.H. (author), Uhlenbrook, S. (author)Droughts are widespread natural hazards and in many regions their frequency seems to be increasing. A finer-resolution version (0.05° × 0.05°) of the continental-scale hydrological model PCRaster Global Water Balance (PCR-GLOBWB) was set up for the Limpopo River basin, one of the most water-stressed basins on the African continent. An irrigation...journal article 2014

Ishihara, R. (author), Van de Zwan, M. (author), Trifunovic, M. (author)Methods for manufacture of a submicron semiconductor structure on a substrate are described. The method may comprise: forming at least one template layer over a support substrate; forming one or more template structures, preferably one or more recesses and/or mesas, in said template layer, said one or more template structures comprising one or...patent 2014

(author)Identifying which nonindigenous species will become invasive and forecasting the damage they will cause is difficult and presents a significant problem for natural resource management. Often, the data or resources necessary for ecological risk assessment are incomplete or absent, leaving environmental decision makers ill equipped to effectively...journal article 2014

Ullien, D. (author), Thüne, P.C. (author), Jager, W.F. (author), Sudhölter, E.J.R. (author), De Smet, L.C.P.M. (author)4-Nitrobenzenediazonium (4-NBD) and 4-bromobenzenediazonium (4-BBD) salts were grafted electrochemically onto H-terminated, p-doped silicon (Si) surfaces. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and ellipsometry experiments clearly showed layer thicknesses of 2–7 nm, which indicate multilayer formation. Decreasing the diazonium salt concentration and the...journal article 2014

Schorsch, J.F. (author), Keemink, A.Q.L. (author), Stienen, A.H.A. (author), Van der Helm, F.C.T. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author)The design of exoskeletons is a popular and promising area of research both for restoring lost function and rehabilitation, and for augmentation in military and industrial applications. A major practical challenge to the comfort and usability for exoskeletons is the need to avoid misalignment of the exoskeletal joint with the underlying human...journal article 2014

Carniato, L. (author), Schoups, G.H.W. (author), Van de Giesen, N.C. (author)Parameter estimation of subsurface transport models from multispecies data requires the definition of an objective function that includes different types of measurements. Common approaches are weighted least squares (WLS), where weights are specified a priori for each measurement, and weighted least squares with weight estimation (WLS(we)) where...journal article 2014

(author)A comparison of the performance of X-ray diffraction tomography, a near-field diffraction technique, and a far-field diffraction technique for indexing X-ray diffraction data of polycrystalline materials has been carried out by acquiring two sets of diffraction data from the same polycrystalline sample volume. Both approaches used in this study...journal article 2014

Musterd, M. (author), Van Steijn, V. (author), Kleijn, C.R. (author), Kreutzer, M.T. (author)Local contact line pinning prevents droplets from rearranging to minimal global energy, and models for droplets without pinning cannot predict their shape. We show that experiments are much better described by a theory, developed herein, that does account for the constrained contact line motion, using as an example droplets on tilted plates. We...journal article 2014

(author)The orientation dependence of the austenite-to-martensite transformation during uniaxial tensile testing was modelled using the phenomenological theory of martensite crystallography and the mechanical driving force. It was validated experimentally by means of electron backscatter diffraction measurements on a pre-defined zone of a quenched and...journal article 2014

Gräwe, U. (author), Burchard, H. (author), Müller, M. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author)We use an observational data set of tidal gauges in the North Sea to investigate the annual cycle of the M2 and M4 amplitudes and phases. The sea surface elevation amplitude of the M2 can vary by 8–10% and the M4 amplitude by 12–30% over the course of the year, with larger amplitudes in summer. The annual phase variations are in the range of 3...journal article 2014

Skarsvag, H. (author), Bauer, G.E.W. (author), Brataas, A. (author)We study the dynamics of spin valves consisting of two layers of magnetic insulators separated by a normal metal in the macrospin model. A current through the spacer generates a spin Hall current that can actuate the magnetization via the spin-transfer torque. We derive expressions for the effective Gilbert damping and the critical currents for...journal article 2014

Zuiderwijk, A.M.G. (author), Gascó, M. (author), Parycek, P. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)Literature and policy reports suggest that open data can be used as a tool to enhance transparency. However, several researchers have challenged the idea that the release of government data will result in increased transparency and the idea that transparency automatically leads to more trust in the government. Moreover, transparency may have...journal article 2014

(author), Hoffmann, G. (author)Current techniques to disentangle the evaporative fluxes from the continental surface into a contribution evaporated from soils and canopy, or transpired by plants, are under debate. Many isotope-based studies show that transpiration contributes generally more than 70% to the total evaporation, while other isotope-independent techniques lead to...journal article 2014
