Govindarjan, N. (author), De Visser, C.C. (author), Van Kampen, E. (author), Krishnakumar, K. (author), Barlow, J. (author), Stepanyan, V. (author)This paper presents an optimal control framework to determine a collection of open-loop command signals that mathematically guarantees operation of an aircraft within certain prescribed state constraints. The framework is specifically applied to estimate margins for the reference command inputs of aircraft autopilot systems, so that safe...journal article 2014

Pascoe, J.A. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)The concept of relating fatigue disbond growth to the strain energy release rate (SERR) is critically examined. It is highlighted that the common practise of using only the maximum SERR or only the SERR range is insufficient to correctly characterize a load cycle. As crack growth requires energy, it is argued that growth should be related to the...journal article 2014

Hulsman, M. (author)Nowadays, with large amounts of data becoming available, solving biological quests is becoming more and more a data-driven activity. To support this, there is a need for tools that enable the integration of the many sources of data. This thesis presents several avenues that can be taken, showing how integration can support research in the life...doctoral thesis 2014

Tekleab, S. (author), Wenninger, J.W. (author), Uhlenbrook, S. (author)Measurements of the stable isotopes oxygen-18 (18O) and deuterium (2H) were carried out in two meso-scale catchments, Chemoga (358 km2) and Jedeb (296 km2) south of Lake Tana, Abay/Upper Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia. The region is of paramount importance for the water resources in the Nile basin, as more than 70% of total Nile water flow originates...journal article 2014

Slangen, A.B.A. (author), Van de Wal, R.S.W. (author), Wada, Y. (author), Vermeersen, L.L.A. (author)Although the global mean sea-level budget for the 20th century can now be closed, the understanding of sea-level change on a regional scale is still limited. In this study we compare observations from tide gauges to regional patterns from various contributions to sea-level change to see how much of the regional measurements can be explained....journal article 2014

De Bruyne, E. (author), Beijer, M. (author), Brunia, S. (author), Gosselink, A.M. (author)Workplace change and New Ways of Working (NWoW) seem to have become a fixed value in FM practice in the Netherlands today. Stimulated by new technological possibilities and maybe even by the world-wide crisis, companies are rethinking their office environments. The possibility to work anytime and anywhere seems key. However this requires a...conference paper 2014

Van der Voort, H.G. (author)Public regulators are increasingly accepting helping hands for carrying out their regulatory activities – such as standard setting, information gathering, and enforcement. These helping hands often belong to private actors that also regulate businesses for their own compliance programs, like industry associations and scheme managers. One can...conference paper 2014

(author)A packed bed microbalance reactor setup (TEOM-GC) is used to investigate the formation of coke as a function of time-on-stream on ?-Al2O3 and 3P/SiO2 catalyst samples under different conditions for the ODH reaction of ethylbenzene to styrene. All samples show a linear correlation of the styrene selectivity and yield with the initial coverage of...journal article 2014

Lentink, D. (author), De Kat, R. (author)Swifts are among the most aerodynamically refined gliding birds. However, the overlapping vanes and protruding shafts of their primary feathers make swift wings remarkably rough for their size. Wing roughness height is 1–2% of chord length on the upper surface—10,000 times rougher than sailplane wings. Sailplanes depend on extreme wing...journal article 2014

Poelma, C. (author), Franken, M.J.Z. (author), Kim, H. (author), Westerweel, J. (author)Contact lines are the locations where a gas, liquid and a solid meet. From everyday experience we know that such contact lines can be mobile, for example in the case of a water droplet sliding over a glass surface. However, the continuum description of the flow towards or away from a contact line implies that the forces diverge as one approaches...conference paper 2014
