Gartaganis, O. (author)Mobile search has been a target of research for many years as it is challenging, multi-level and rapidly increasing in use, much like the mobile platforms themselves. This work examines the aforementioned subject from two of its aspects; mobile re-finding behaviour and queries' contextual information. Re-finding behaviour is an well-known...master thesis 2014

Rodrigues, S.P. (author), Van Eck, N.J. (author), Waltman, L. (author), Jansen, F.W. (author)Background The amount of scientific literature available is often overwhelming, making it difficult for researchers to have a good overview of the literature and to see relations between different developments. Visualisation techniques based on bibliometric data are helpful in obtaining an overview of the literature on complex research topics,...journal article 2014

De Groot, M.J. (author)Strabismus ('squinting') affects about 5% of the western population. It can be treated through surgery. The most important determinant of the outcome of strabismus surgery is the measurement of the angles of strabismus. Currently this measurement is performed manually using prisms. Inaccuracies in the measurement of the angles of strabismus...master thesis 2014

Pieters, S.R. (author)Schiphol, the main airport of the Netherlands, wants to be Europe’s preferred cargo airport. To reach this status, Schiphol has to offer a good infrastructure and high quality processes. Schiphol has no active role in these processes, but is dependent on third parties. Schiphol suffers from inefficiencies in the air cargo supply chain. A symptom...master thesis 2014

Shojai Kaveh, N. (author)To reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, different scenarios are proposed to capture and store carbon dioxide (CO2) in geological formations (CCS). Storage strategies include CO2 injection into deep saline aquifers, depleted gas and oil reservoirs, and unmineable coal seams. To identify a secure and proper strategy for CO2 injection, the...doctoral thesis 2014

(author)Post-deposition annealing by ultra-short laser pulses can modify the optical properties of SnO2 thin films by means of thermal processing. Industrial grade SnO2 films exhibited improved optical properties after picosecond laser irradiation, at the expense of a slightly increased sheet resistance [Proc. SPIE 8826, 88260I (2013)]. The figure of...journal article 2014

Vrakking, V. (author)A design study was carried out at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Bremen, investigating the optimal structural design for a lunar greenhouse module. On account of the volume requirements of a lunar greenhouse and the volume constraints of modern launchers, the study has considered only inflatable and hybrid structures. A literature study...master thesis 2014

Borazjani, S. (author), Bedrikovetsky, P. (author), Farajzadeh, R. (author)Analytical solutions for one-dimensional two-phase multicomponent flows in porous media describe processes of enhanced oil recovery, environmental flows of waste disposal, and contaminant propagation in subterranean reservoirs and water management in aquifers. We derive the exact solution for 3x3 hyperbolic system of conservation laws that...journal article 2014

Nyenje, P.M. (author), Meijer, L.M.G. (author), Foppen, J.W. (author), Kulabako, R. (author), Uhlenbrook, S. (author)rban catchments in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are increasingly becoming a major source of phosphorus (P) to downstream ecosystems. This is primarily due to large inputs of untreated wastewater to urban drainage channels, especially in informal settlements (or slums). However, the processes governing the fate of P in these catchments are largely...journal article 2014

Molenaar, R.B. (author)Traffic simulators are useful tools that can be used for entertainment, driver education, and research into human driving behavior and the effects of innovative traffic solutions. A traffic simulator provides a high degree of control, as every traffic situation can be recreated with exactly the same conditions for all test subjects. The downside...master thesis 2014

Lefter, I. (author)Nowadays, camera systems are installed in military areas as well as in public spaces like schools, shopping malls, airports, and football stadiums. Human operators are monitoring the screens, looking for any signs of unwanted behavior and negative incidents. The task requires working personnel 24/7. With the ever increasing number of cameras,...doctoral thesis 2014

Nyenje, P.M. (author), Meijer, L.M.G. (author), Foppen, J.W. (author), Kulabako, R. (author), Uhlenbrook, S. (author)The transport of excessive phosphorus (P) discharged from unsewered informal settlements (slums) due to poor on-site sanitation is largely unknown. Hence, we investigated the processes governing P transport in a 28km2 slum-dominated catchment in Kampala, Uganda. During high runoff events and a period of base flow, we collected hourly water...journal article 2014

Deiman, J. (author)Vietnam has developed very fast over the past decades and is growing both in population and economic power rapidly. Especially the march of a middle-class is pushing the consumerism to a higher level; people have more money to spend on for example luxury items and food. Private food consumption is one of the most important areas with a big...master thesis 2014

Shi, Y. (author)Language modeling plays a critical role in natural language processing and understanding. Starting from a general structure, language models are able to learn natural language patterns from rich input data. However, the state-of-the-art language models only take advantage of words themselves, which are not sufficient to characterize the language...doctoral thesis 2014

Hollander, J. (author)This research aims to accurately predict the flow of electromagnetically conducting liquids liquid steel in a thin cavity. A thin cavity, with a thickness « width, is relevant as a model for a continuous steel caster mould. A turbulent jet flow enters the cavity, leading to a quasi-two-dimensional flow. Using large eddy simulations with the...master thesis 2014
