Bal, Frans (author), Vleugel, J (author)In a world where the population and many economies are expanding rapidly the demand for freight transport keeps rising accordingly. As more goods are transported by a growing number of freight vehicles, in particular trucks and sea vessels, their already considerable negative environmental impact also rises. Technology advances, but demand...journal article 2020

van Duin, Ron (author), Enserink, B. (author), Daleman, J.J. (author), Vaandrager, M. (author)The GHG-emissions of the transport sector are still increasing. This trend isaccompanied by the strong growth of the e-commerce sector, leading to moretransport movements on our road networks. In order to mitigate theexternalities of the e-commerce related parcel delivery market and try tomake it more sustainable, the following research question...book chapter 2020

van den Hoed, Annemarie (author), Landman, H.M. (author), van Baelen, D. (author), Stroosma, O. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Groen, Eric L. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Objective: We tested whether a procedure in a hexapod simulator can cause incorrect assumptions of the bank angle (i.e., the “leans”) in airline pilots as well as incorrect interpretations of the attitude indicator (AI). Background: The effect of the leans on interpretation errors has previously been demonstrated in nonpilots. In-flight,...journal article 2020

Stroeven, P. (author), Li, Kai (author)Permeability estimates obtained by physical experiments and by simulations differ quite significantly. When biases at the experimental side would be eliminated, the expected modest gap could be bridged by surface layer modifications of the hardened cement paste, discussed herein. This involves the formation of a fractal-like nano-particle...journal article 2020

Ge, Jianzhong (author), Chen, Changsheng (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Ke, Keteng (author), Yi, Jinxu (author), Ding, Ping Xing (author)Fluid mud (FM) is a unique sedimentary feature in high-turbidity estuaries, where it can make a rapid contribution to morphodynamics. Insufficient field measurements and fixed-point monitoring lead to deficient understandings of the formation, transport, and breakdown of the FM under extreme weather conditions. A field survey was conducted in...journal article 2020

Leffler, David (author), Burghout, Wilco (author), Cats, O. (author), Jenelius, Erik (author)This paper presents a comparative analysis of demand-responsive and fixed-schedule, fixed route operations for a simplified station-based feeder to mass transit scenario. Traffic dynamics, demand-responsive fleet coordination, and the behaviour of individual transit users are represented using a public transit simulation framework. Each...journal article 2020

Jeukens, Floor (author)Stroke is a cerebrovascular disorder with 15 million cases every year worldwide. The most common symptom is motor deficits. In order to overcome such symptoms, the motor brain either repairs the damaged tissue or reorganises to compensate for the injured brain region. To stimulate this reorganisation transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS...master thesis 2019

Blankert, Olivier (author)Liquid fuels are projected to account for 88% of total energy use in the transportation sector in 2040. Low cost of renewable energy poses a new opportunity for decarbonisation of the transport sector. As a liquid en- ergy carrier, methanol offers a promising solution for alternative fuels in aviation, shipping and long-distance trucking. Zero...master thesis 2019

van Waas, Tom (author)Non-photochemical laser-induced nucleation (NPLIN) is a process where a crystalline phase is formed out of solution by exposure to a laser beam. In NPLIN, the nucleation probability is strongly dependent on the beam intensity and weakly dependent on the wavelength. NPLIN offers a feasible alternative to energy-intensive industrial...bachelor thesis 2019

Eberlein, David (author)Guidelines dating back 50 years, NASA SP-8007, are employed today in the design of thin-walled launch vehicle structures. Due to advances in materials, structural designs, and manufacturing techniques since the publication of SP-8007, the development of new knockdown factors for contemporary launch vehicle structures is an ongoing subject of...master thesis 2019

van Schouwenburg, Sietse (author)Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) algorithms provide accurate localization for autonomous vehicles and provide essential information for the path planning module. However, SLAM algorithms as- sume a static environment in order to estimate a location. This assumption influences the pose estimation in dynamic urban environments. The...master thesis 2019

Ramesh, Santhosh (author)The Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCoE) produced by PV systems is determined by yield (kWh) and cost of the system. Reducing the LCoE of the solar power can be achieved either by increasing the yield or by reducing the cost. The yield of bi-facial PV systems is promoted by high efficiency and a high bi-faciality factor.<br/><br/>Yield due to...master thesis 2019

Mastenbroek, Fabian (author), Andreadis, Georgios (author)Datacenter infrastructure has become vital for stakeholders across industry, academia and government. To operate efficiently, datacenter operators rely on a variety of complex scheduling techniques, to distribute user workloads across resources. In this work, we leverage a reference architecture for datacenter scheduling to design and implement...bachelor thesis 2019

Cai, Yefeng (author)Micro-Doppler patterns of multi-propeller drones measured by radar systems are widely used in the classification of different drones, since the micro-Doppler patterns illustrate the velocity and motion properties of the drones. However, on this topic, there are a few issues the current researches have not tackled yet, and these will be discussed...master thesis 2019

Santbergen, R. (author), Uzu, Hisashi (author), Yamamoto, Kenji (author), Zeman, M. (author)We use simulations to optimize perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells in a novel three-terminal configuration, with one terminal at the front and two at the rear. We consider configurations in which the top cell has either the inverted or the same polarity as the bottom cell. Our goal is to minimize the optical losses, to compare the...journal article 2019
