Schwab, A.L. (author), Kooijman, J.D.G. (author)The goal of the Human Power Team from the TU Delft and the Free University of Amsterdam is to break the world speed record in unpaced cycling (Sam Whittingham, 133.28 km/h). The design of such a faired recumbent bicycle is a challenge. The Delft design, called VeloX (Human Power Team (2013)), is a fully-faired monocoque front-driven recumbent...conference paper 2014

(author)Background and Purpose: Thrombus characterization is increasingly considered important in predicting treatment success for patients with acute ischemic stroke. The lack of intensity contrast between thrombus and surrounding tissue in CT images makes manual delineation a difficult and time consuming task. Our aim was to develop an automated...journal article 2014

Joustra, J.J. (author), Jansen, A.J. (author)This paper describes the development of a model to simulate a dinghy sailors’ body temperature during a sailing match. This simulation has been developed as part of the master thesis by the author: “Thermal optimization of competitive sailing gear”. A literature study is done to define the human body heat balance and thermal comfort. Next a...journal article 2014

Ambarwati, L. (author), Verhaeghe, R. (author), Pel, A.J. (author), Van Arem, B. (author)Urban sprawl phenomenon has been a huge issue since 20th century characterized by a rapid and unbalanced settlement development with transportation network particularly in a suburban area. The improvement of public transport system is a major requirement to minimize urban sprawl. Academic researchers have explained the linkage strategy between...journal article 2014

Dessing, O. (author), Jansen, A.J. (author), Leihitu, C. (author), Overhage, D. (author)As indoor sports shoes are intensively used in a warm and sweaty environment for periods of up to three consecutive hours, the built-up heat inside is insufficiently released causing warm and perspiring feet. This results in an increased chance of blisters and skin irritations. Experimental research on the ventilation properties of the shoe was...journal article 2014

Verduin, T. (author), Kruit, P. (author), Hagen, C.W. (author)We investigated the off-line metrology for line edge roughness (LER) determination by using the discrete power spectral density (PSD). The study specifically addresses low-dose scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images in order to reduce the acquisition time and the risk of resist shrinkage. The first attempts are based on optimized elliptic...journal article 2014

Boon, K.M. (author), Klap, P. (author), Van Lanen, J.A. (author), Letsoin, G.J. (author), Jansen, A.J. (author)The paper presents the answer to the question how pedalling on a specific recumbent bicycle, such as the VeloX3, influences a cyclist’s ability to steer the bicycle. The research aims to find the correlation between pedalling and the undesired steering movements it creates. To test this assumption a test setup was constructed. On this setup...journal article 2014

Mullins, D.W. (author), Milligan, V. (author), Nieboer, N.E.T. (author)This paper presents the results of an international collaborative study5 of non-profit housing; one of the main alternatives to public housing developed in many countries. The study involved researchers6 in three countries using a common methodology to engage the leaders of non-profit organisations themselves in the research process. The paper...conference paper 2014

Balz, V.E. (author), Zonneveld, W.A.M. (author), Nadin, V. (author)Regional design is a practice that has in recent decades frequently been applied in spatial planning processes in The Netherlands. The making and use of spatial representations of plausible futures of regions was employed to refine physical implementation strategies and simultaneously, by reaching out for broad, sometimes public, attention, to...conference paper 2014

Burri, S. (author), Maruyama, Y. (author), Michalet, X. (author), Regazzoni, F. (author), Bruschini, C. (author), Charbon, E. (author)We present the architecture and three applications of the largest resolution image sensor based on single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) published to date. The sensor, fabricated in a high-voltage CMOS process, has a resolution of 512 × 128 pixels and a pitch of 24 ?m. The fill-factor of 5% can be increased to 30% with the use of microlenses....journal article 2014

Valk, M. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author), Tiberius, C.C.J.M. (author), Luxemburg, W.M.J. (author)In this paper we present a novel method to determine the time of occurrence of tidal slack with a GPS receiver mounted on an anchored buoy commonly used to delineate shipping lanes in estuaries and tidal channels. Slack tide occurs when the tide changes direction from ebb to flood flow or from flood to ebb. The determination of this point in...journal article 2014

Lukovic, M. (author), Savija, B. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Ye, G. (author), van Breugel, K. (author)Differential shrinkage between repair material and concrete substrate is considered to be the main cause of premature failure of repair systems (Martinola, Sadouki et al. 2001, Beushausen and Alexander 2007). Magnitude of induced stresses depends on many factors, for example the amount of restraint, moisture gradients caused by different curing...conference paper 2014

(author)The overall performance of concrete patch repair systems depends on the durability of and compatibility between the concrete substrate and the repair material. This paper investigates the performance of a new type of SHCC material with embedded bacteria as a repair material. The bacteria are a healing agent to enhance the durability of the...conference paper 2014
