Shakeel, A. (author), Farooq, Ujala (author), Iqbal, Tanveer (author), Yasin, Saima (author), Lupi, Francesca R. (author), Gabriele, Domenico (author)Bigels are interesting semisolid formulations with better properties for different applications such as cosmetics and pharmaceutical systems. Due to the mixing of two phases of different nature (polar and apolar), bigels possess some interesting features like ability to deliver hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs, better spreadability and water...review 2019

Valle Torre, M. (author), Ye, Mengmeng (author), Lofi, C. (author)Effectively modelling and querying experience items like movies, books, or games in databases is challenging because these items are better described by their resulting user experience or perceived properties than by factual attributes. However, such information is often subjective, disputed, or unclear. Thus, social judgments like comments,...conference paper 2019

van Breugel, K. (author)The world’s infrastructure is vital for providing accommodation and mobility for people. Although it is obvious that the construction industry has been crucial for realizing building and civil infrastructures, it is also clear that building activities have a big impact on the environment. Still growing and developing societies and economies...journal article 2019

Peeters, J.W.R. (author), Rohde, M. (author)A new friction-heat transfer analogy for the prediction of heat transfer to turbulent fluids at supercritical pressure is presented. This analogy is based on the observation that the predominent events that determine the turbulent heat flux known as hot ejections and cold sweeps have different thermophysical properties. This observation is...journal article 2019

Bahrami, Abbas (author), Yazdan Mehr, M. (author)Isothermal ageing of Al–Mg–Si alloys, stored at room temperature for more than 5 months, is associated with an unexpected significant increase in the overall electrical resistivity. This unexpected anomalous increase is not observed in alloys with shorter storage (natural ageing) times. This phenomenon is explained with a scenario, based on...journal article 2019

Huisman, B.J.A. (author), Walstra, Dirk Jan R. (author), Radermacher, Max (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), Ruessink, B. Gerben (author)Shoreface nourishments are commonly applied for coastal maintenance, but their behaviour is not well understood. Bathymetric data of 19 shoreface nourishments located at alongshore uniform sections of the Dutch coast were therefore analyzed and used to validate an efficient method for predicting the erosion of shoreface nourishments. Data shows...journal article 2019

(author)Multiphasic fermentations where an organic phase is spontaneously formed or when it is added for product removal are commonly used for production of valuable compounds. The turbulent conditions and the presence of surface-active compounds (SACs) during fermentation create a stable emulsion difficult to separate. A gas bubble/oil droplet...journal article 2019

Theocharis, A. (author), Popov, M. (author)In this paper, a piece-wise linearized transformer winding model is proposed for transient internal voltage distribution computations. In particular, the model is based on the linearization of the primitive non-linear, frequency dependent and invariant matrix of voltage distribution factors. This primitive matrix is utilized as a pattern from...conference paper 2019

Nair, Revathy (author)This study is part of a project titled: “Phenolic compounds degradation in AnMBR under mesophilic and thermophilic operation: BioXtreme-following up”. <br/>Phenol is a toxic contaminant found widely in industrial effluents. It is toxic to humans and animals even at very low concentrations. Anaerobic digestion uses phenol as a carbon source and...student report 2019

Sijtsma, Lennard (author)In the Netherlands, wind power has the highest potential for future development compared to alternatives such as solar PV and biomass. The intermittent nature of the wind power resource calls for novel approaches to supply and demand management, as well as power quality assurance. Energy storage technologies allow for the separation between...master thesis 2019

Hoogmoet, Gijs (author)The world’s climate is changing. In the Netherlands one of the consequences is that water boards and municipalities are preparing for an increase in extreme precipitation. To evaluate the consequences in case of extreme precipitation all Dutch municipalities and water boards have to perform a stress test. In these stress tests the response of...master thesis 2019

Biesheuvel, Bas (author)TechnipFMC is pushing innovations to reduce the emissions of ethylene plants separations. This development is also driven by customer demands. They face increasingly strict legislation on \ce{CO2} emissions. Separation in distillation columns is one of the major energy intensive unit operations in an ethylene plant, and increasing their...master thesis 2019

ter Meulen, Ruben (author)A random periodic two-dimensional spring network us built using a Poisson disk distribution and computing the Delaunay triangulation of the centers of the disks. The edges of the network represent springs that obey Hooke’s law with an adjustment on the spring constant. The adjustment allows spring to soften and to break. The two-dimensional...bachelor thesis 2019

Wagenaar, Sjors (author)In some countries, drying processes use up to 20% of the total energy consumption. Within the agriculture sector, drying of food and flowering products is a necessary step in production. A lot of companies make use of hot air dryers where the heat is gained by burning natural gas. A novel method is to use a heat pump assisted drying systems...master thesis 2019

Christidi, Nikoletta (author)The role of the architect as a “master builder”, or someone who possessed a deep knowledge about the materials and ways to use them, has recently disappeared in favour of technical specialisation. The distancing of the architect from the actual construction site coincides with the emergence of digital design environments that provide seemingly...master thesis 2019

van de Kamp, Carsten T. (author)We consider adaptive network models with discrete and continuous state sets obeying dynamical rules that enable application to swarming systems. The 2-state adaptive network contains a supercritical pitchfork bifurcation in the transition between ordered and disordered stationary solutions. We derive an adaptive network model that works on a...bachelor thesis 2019
