Sierra Beltran, M.G. (author), Jonkers, H.M. (author), Schlangen, E. (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

Hobma, F.A.M. (author)Transport infrastructure decisions are often contested. To channel infrastructure decision-making, legal procedures have important functions. Legal procedures should (1) lead to a decision within a reasonable time frame, (2) while all relevant interests must have been identified and weighted and (3) affected parties must have had input in the...conference paper 2014

Berghuijs, W.R. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author), Woods, R.A. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author)Recent hydrologic synthesis efforts have presented evidence that the seasonal water balance is at the core of overall catchment responses, and understanding it will assist in predicting signatures of streamflow variability at other time scales, including interannual variability, the flow duration curve, low flows, and floods. In this study, we...journal article 2014

Korkiakoski, V.A. (author), Keller, C.U. (author), Doelman, N. (author), Kenworthy, M. (author), Otten, G. (author), Verhaegen, M.H.G. (author)We present two complementary algorithms suitable for using focal-plane measurements to control a wavefront corrector with an extremely high-spatial resolution. The algorithms use linear approximations to iteratively minimize the aberrations seen by the focal-plane camera. The first algorithm, Fast & Furious (FF), uses a weak-aberration...journal article 2014

Read, S.A. (author), Mashayekhi, A. (author), Rocco, Roberto (author)Europe is going through a great social, economic and environmental period of transition. The changes the EU is currently undergoing have been causing increased awareness about sustainable development, natural resources use and energy efficiency on the agenda at the European level of policy making. However after more than forty years of the...conference paper 2014

Louw, E. (author), Korsse, D. (author), Zonneveld, W.A.M. (author)In 1979 with the Bird Directive, the EU adopted its first nature legislation. Since then various other directives were introduced, which all have an effect on urban development. This papers deals with the effect of the national implementation of the Bird and Habitat Directives in the Netherlands and their effects on urban development in and...conference paper 2014

Balz, V.E. (author), Stead, D. (author)The last decade has witnessed various trends in decentralization of government responsibilities related to spatial planning in the Netherlands and this has resulted in a differing flexibility of the indicative planning frameworks for transport and spatial development. In this article we investigate whether and if so, how revisions of frameworks...conference paper 2014

Verschuure, G.A. (author)Appointing the pedestrian crossing on Abbey Road (London, UK) as a listed monument is exemplary for the changing ideas on the preservation of monuments and historic sites in the last decades. This pedestrian crossing was not listed as a monument for its beauty, authenticity or its unique role in architectural history, which are normally criteria...conference paper 2014

Van Bueren, E.M. (author), Van Wijk, M. (author), Te Brommelstroet, M. (author)Due to the growth of cities and airports, regional planning becomes increasingly important in airport regions. As major resource consumers, these regions have to become more sustainable to consolidate their competitive position amongst global cities. In the Amsterdam-Schiphol region, stakeholders are searching for new governance arrangements to...conference paper 2014

Read, S.A. (author)Sustainability sits at the top of the policy agendas of the EU and other governmental bodies. But sustainability is complex and not one thing, it relates to different sectors and multiple systems, and also to different zones, scales, ‘levels’ those systems occupy. Theoretically and practically we are involved with different questions depending...conference paper 2014

Eelkema, R. (author), Esch, J.H. van (author)In this Perspective, we will discuss how the rate of formation of supramolecular materials can be drastically enhanced by catalytically controlling the rate of formation of their molecular building blocks, resulting in the formation of out-of-equilibrium soft materials with enhanced mechanical properties. Also, the use of surface confined,...journal article 2014

(author)50 years ago, Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta were awarded the Nobel Prize for their discovery of the catalytic polymerization of ethylene and propylene using titanium compounds and aluminum-alkyls as co-catalysts. Polyolefins have grown to become one of the biggest of all produced polymers. New metallocene/methylaluminoxane (MAO) catalysts open...journal article 2014

Verschuure, G.A.

From 1815 until 1940 the New Dutch Waterline was one of the major defence lines, both a...conference paper 2014
