Li, J. (author), van Zuylen, H.J. (author), van der Horst, E. (author)Driver behavior in China shows remarkable differences from that in western countries. In this study, six focus groups were organized to investigate Chinese drivers’ attitudes, expectations, intended actions, their preferences, and habits in different situations in urban areas. The outcomes show that there are important opportunities to improve...conference paper 2014

De Schipper, M.A. (author)Alongshore variability in topography (i.e. height differences in bed level along the coast) can exist on both natural and nourished beaches. An important question prior to implementation of a nourishment project is how alongshore variability is going to evolve and, related to this variability, the effect of the project upon swimmer safety. In...doctoral thesis 2014

On the combined effect of moisture diffusion and cyclic pore pressure generation in asphalt concreteVarveri, A. (author), Scarpas, A. (author), Collop, A. (author), Erkens, S.M.J.G. (author)In this paper, a new moisture conditioning protocol which attempts to distinguish the contributions of long- and short-term moisture damage, i.e. moisture diffusion and cyclic pore pressure generation, in asphalt mixtures is presented. The capability of the proposed protocol to rank various asphalt mixtures of known field performance for their...conference paper 2014

Van Zuylen, H.J. (author), Lu, S. (author), Li, J. (author), Yusen, C. (author)Traffic management in cities with congestion is a big challenge with still unused opportunities. Intersection control is a corner stone but this should be done in an area-wide context. The dominant traffic process on urban roads is the traffic flow on the intersections. Spill back is a most important cause of malfunctioning networks. The...conference paper 2014

Anand, N.R. (author), Van Duin, J.H.R. (author), Tavasszy, L.A. (author), Wigan, M. (author)City logistics is characterized as a distributed decision making system due to its heterogeneous stakeholders and their conflicting objectives. To understand the complexity of interactions among these stakeholders, the first step is taken by developing an ontology for city logistics domain. Ontology is a powerful way to express domain knowledge...conference paper 2014

Bischiniotis, K. (author)This research follows a fully probabilistic approach in order to estimate the optimal design for a river dike cross-section, taking into account the investment costs. From the theory studied, the failure mechanisms that contribute most to the failure of river dikes are identified. These are overflowing, wave overtopping, piping and inner slope...master thesis 2014

Trambauer, P. (author), Dutra, E. (author), Maskey, S. (author), Werner, M. (author), Pappenberger, F. (author), Van Beek, L.P.H. (author), Uhlenbrook, S. (author)Evaporation is a key process in the water cycle with implications ranging, inter alia, from water management to weather forecast and climate change assessments. The estimation of continental evaporation fluxes is complex and typically relies on continental-scale hydrological models or land-surface models. However, it appears that most global or...journal article 2014

Tang, J. (author)The majority of Integrated Circuit (IC) devices are encapsulated in wire-bonded plastic IC packages. Epoxy molding compound is used as the encapsulation material and gold was used as the bonding wire material. However, the increase of gold material price from 400 USD/ounce in year 2005 to 1400 USD/ounce in year 2013 results in a major cost issue...doctoral thesis 2014

Alexandratos, V. (author)Prolonged exposure to stress can cause serious mental and physical illnesses. Therefore, it is important that people are aware of stressful situations, so that they can take necessary actions to cope with them. We introduce a mobile system that is able to detect stress in individuals in real-time based on electrocardiogram and electrodermal...master thesis 2014

Janulevicius, A. (author)Myxobacteria are social bacteria that are remarkable for their complex life cycle. In vegetative state, when nutrients are available, myxobacteria cooperatively swarm on a solid surface and feed. When exposed to starvation conditions, myxobacteria exhibit multicellular morphogenesis: 10^5-10^6 cells aggregate to form a fruiting body. Due to...doctoral thesis 2014

(author)We report the confinement of an optomechanical micro-oscillator in a squeezed thermal state, obtained by parametric modulation of the optical spring. We propose and implement an experimental scheme based on parametric feedback control of the oscillator, which stabilizes the amplified quadrature while leaving the orthogonal one unaffected.
