Wu, M.R. (author)This research explores the possibility of a large-scale bulk terminal in West Europe dedicated to handle solid and liquid biomass materials. Various issues regarding the conceptual design of such a terminal have been investigated and demonstrated in this research: the potential biomass materials that will be the major international trade flows...doctoral thesis 2012

Chevtchenko, O. (author), Zuijderduin, R. (author), Smit, J. (author), Willen, D. (author), Lentge, H. (author), Thidemann, C. (author), Traeholt, C. (author), Melnik, I. (author), Geschiere, A. (author)are: a cable has to fit in an annulus of 160 mm, with two cooling stations at the cable ends only. Existing solutions for HTS cables would lead to excessively high coolant pressure drop in the cable, potentially affecting public acceptance of the project. A way out would be to substantially reduce AC losses from 1 down to about 0.1 W/m per phase...journal article 2012

Van Wageningen-Kessels, F.L.M. (author)How to model and simulate traffic flow including different vehicles such as cars and trucks? This dissertation answers this question by analyzing existing models and simulation methods and by developing new ones. The new model (Fastlane) describes traffic as a continuum flow while accounting for different types of vehicles. It is reformulated in...doctoral thesis 2013

Asamer, J. (author), Van Zuylen, H.J. (author), Heilmann, B. (author)Calibrated simulation models taking into account adverse weather conditions can be used to optimise traffic management strategies, such as speed adaptation and signal timing optimisation. On snowy road conditions, car following behaviour changes because drivers tend to accelerate more slowly, increase their following distance and drive with...journal article 2013

Valente Pais, A.R. (author)A perception coherence zone (PCZ) designates the range of inertial motion levels that, although not being a one-to-one match with the visual motion levels, are still considered by the subjects as being part of a coherent movement. Two types of PCZs were studied: amplitude PCZs and phase PCZs. Amplitude and phase coherences zones were measured...doctoral thesis 2013

Hasselaar, B.L.H. (author)In what way would a façade be able to create a comfortable indoor office environment using only the indoor and outdoor environment as its energy sources? The low (average) outdoor temperatures in The Netherlands suggest that the outdoor climate is cold enough to cool the indoor climate through ventilation with fresh outdoor air without resorting...doctoral thesis 2013

Lyakhova, K. (author), Esteves, A.C.C. (author), De With, G. (author)For many current engineering applications the performance of materials depends strongly on the surface properties of the top layer. In many cases a hydrophobic/superphydrophobic top surface is desired (for example for easy-toclean/ self-cleaning applications). The durability of coatings will be substantially extended if the layer which provides...conference paper 2013

Sjenitzer, B.L. (author)In this thesis a new method for the analysis of power transients in a nuclear reactor is developed, which is more accurate than the present state-of-the-art methods. Transient analysis is important tool when designing nuclear reactors, since they predict the behaviour of a reactor during changing conditions, such as a control-rod movement,...doctoral thesis 2013

Gokmen, S. (author)Recent developments in theory and technology in performance based design show an interest towards generative systems. In this paper a morphogenetic approach will be introduced that looks at Goethean morphology and leaf venation patterns. To instrumentalize this approach an algorithm will be introduced to generate various leaf venation patterns...conference paper 2013
