De Jong, L. (author), De Jong, B. (author), Ivanova, M. (author), Gerritse, A. (author), Rietberg, D. (author), Dorrepaal, S. (author)The eThekwini coastline is a vulnerable coastline subject to chronic erosion and damage due to sea level rise. In 2007 a severe storm caused major physical and economic damage along the coastline, proving the need for action. Umhlanga Rocks is a densely populated premium holiday destination on the eThekwini coastline suffering from similar...student report 2014

Hongsiri, W. (author), Danon, B. (author), De Jong, W. (author)It is known that both acids and salts have a positive catalytic effect on the dehydration of pentoses to form furfural, a potentially attractive platform chemical. In this study the effects of the combined usage of an organic acid, instead of stronger mineral acids, and a saline catalyst is investigated. In order to assess these effects, the...journal article 2014

(author)We introduce a method for photoacoustic imaging of the carotid artery, tailored toward detection of lipid-rich atherosclerotic lesions. A common human carotid artery was obtained at autopsy, embedded in a neck mimicking phantom and imaged with a multimodality imaging system using interstitial illumination. Light was delivered through a 1.25-mm...journal article 2014

De Jong, M.D. (author)This thesis describes FPGA-accelerated Monte-Carlo integration using adaptive stratified sampling. Monte-Carlo integration can be used to determine the value of integrals that have no closed form solution. In this work, the FPGA-accelerated design is used to determine the price of different types of financial options. The considered options are...master thesis 2014

Auping, W.L. (author), De Jong, S. (author), Pruyt, E. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author)The US’ shale gas revolution, a spectacular increase in natural gas extraction from previously unconventional sources, has led to considerable lower gas prices in North America. This study focusses on consequences of the shale gas revolution on state stability of traditional oil and gas exporting countries in the vicinity of the EU. For this...conference paper 2014

De Jong, M. (author)TNT is the preferred express provider of several large MedTech suppliers in Europe, delivering medical devices to hospitals with various special services. Due to competition replicating these services, TNT no longer possesses key differentiators, and is losing ground against competition. Furthermore, hospitals are innovating in their supply...master thesis 2014

De Jong, J. (author)The world demand on energy, combined with environmental concerns, constitutes the need for a plentiful supply of safely produced energy without carbon emissions. The High Temperature Reactor (HTR) is the predecessor of the Gen-4 VHTR design, and has a large thermal efficiency and unsurpassed safety features. Thorium offers more natural resources...master thesis 2014

(author)Few tests have been carried out in order to evaluate the use of cardoon in gasification and combustion applications most of the researchers dealt with agglomeration problems. The aim of this work is to deal with the agglomeration problem and to present a solution for the utilization of this biofuel at a near industrial application scale. For...journal article 2014

De Jong, S.A.P. (author), Slingerland, J.D. (author), Van de Giesen, N.C. (author)This paper describes a method to correct for the effect of solar radiation in atmospheric Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) applications. By using two cables with different diameters, one can determine what temperature a zero diameter cable would have. Such virtual cable would not be affected by solar heating and would take on the...journal article 2014

For this exploration, specific focus is on the extreme water level at Hoek van Holland, The Netherlands. The alternative method has been based on a joint probability model of the storm characteristics at the North Sea. The intent of this method is to...conference paper 2014

Chondrocyte sGAG synthesis is regulated by exposure to compressive forces. Moderate physical exercise is known to improve cartilage sGAG content and might protect against osteoarthritis (OA). This study investigated...journal article 2014

De Jong, J. (author)Introduction Bow thrusters are of great help for the navigation at quay walls, but the high and turbulent velocities can result in a bed load exceeding the strength of the bed or bed protection. To be able to design a stable bed the velocities at the bed need to be accurately determined. In design practise the velocities generated by a propeller...master thesis 2014
