Wang, Y. (author), Li, Q. (author), Eitelberg, G. (author), Veldhuis, L.L.M. (author), Kotsonis, M. (author)Swirl recovery vanes (SRVs) are a set of stationary vanes located downstream from a propeller, which may recover some of the residual swirl from the propeller, hoping for an improvement in both thrust and efficiency. The SRV concept design for a scaled version representing the Fokker 29 propeller is performed in this paper, which may give rise...journal article 2014

(author)A patch of sky in the SDSS Stripe 82 was observed at 1.6 GHz with Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) using the European VLBI Network (EVN). The data were correlated at the EVN software correlator at JIVE (SFXC). There are fifteen known mJy/sub-mJy radio sources in the target field defined by the primary beam size of a typical 30-m class...journal article 2014

Schoemakers, Wijnand (author)This thesis aims to explore and enable parameter estimation using the data assimilation method of the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF). More specillically applied to the quasi-steady flow field, measured using particle image velocimetry (PIV), of a plasma actuator in quiescent ow where the parameters to be estimated are those describing the force...master thesis 2014

Den Hoed, R. (author)There is a growing acknowledgement that the requirements management process in the definition-phase of real estate projects is a crucial factor which significantly influences the total performance and problems in realized buildings can often be traced back to the management of this process. Many initiatives are conducted to analyse and improve...master thesis 2014

Almoradie, A.D.S. (author)Stakeholders’ awareness and participation is important in the planning and management of water resources and floods. Stakeholders’ spatial distribution and diverse stakeholders’ interest (even opposed) are some of the hindrances in stakeholder participation. This research developed and implemented three frameworks for developing “Networked...doctoral thesis 2014

Roseires Reservoir, located on the Blue Nile River, in Sudan, is the first trap to the sediments coming from the upper catchment in Ethiopia, which suffers from high erosion and desertification problems. The reservoir lost already more than one third of its 5 storage capacity due to sedimentation in the last four decades....journal article 2014

Hosseini Aria, S.E. (author), Menenti, M. (author), Gorte, B.G.H. (author)Reliability analysis is usually applied to evaluate classification procedures with different classes. In this research, we have applied the analysis to two different band sets to find out which one is more reliable. These band sets provide the most informative spectral regions covered by hyperspectral images. The informative regions are...journal article 2014
