Van Egmond, J.A. (author)Object tracking plays a vital role in the future of Robotics as it is used for motion planning and decision making. In recent years, research in object tracking has focussed on designing tracking methods that do not rely on a pre-learned model of the object and are therefor able to track any kind of object. As a result, online learning of an...master thesis 2014

Del Frate, L. (author)This thesis is an attempt to clarify a concept we are all familiar with, engineers and non-engineers alike. It shows that, behind the first impression of familiarity, there is a wide range of intuitions about failure which are not easily reconciled. While the ensuing ambiguities and lack of clarity may be tolerated in ordinary circumstances,...doctoral thesis 2014

De Visser, P.J. (author), Goldie, D.J. (author), Diener, P. (author), Withington, S. (author), Baselmans, J.J.A. (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author)In a superconductor, absorption of photons with an energy below the superconducting gap leads to redistribution of quasiparticles over energy and thus induces a strong nonequilibrium quasiparticle energy distribution. We have measured the electrodynamic response, quality factor, and resonant frequency of a superconducting aluminium microwave...journal article 2014

De Jong, J. (author)Introduction Bow thrusters are of great help for the navigation at quay walls, but the high and turbulent velocities can result in a bed load exceeding the strength of the bed or bed protection. To be able to design a stable bed the velocities at the bed need to be accurately determined. In design practise the velocities generated by a propeller...master thesis 2014

Yakaboylu, O. (author), Harinck, J. (author), Smit, K.G. (author), De Jong, W. (author)The supercritical water gasification process is an alternative to both conventional gasification as well as anaerobic digestion as it does not require drying and the process takes place at much shorter residence times; a few minutes at most. The drastic changes in the thermo-physical properties of water from the liquid state to the supercritical...journal article 2014

De Boer, T. (author)This research evaluates the potential of thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing to determine and continuously monitor the horizontal water temperature distribution of inland surface water bodies. Usually, monitoring temporal and spatial variability of surface water temperature takes place by measurement networks of in-situ gauges, but these...master thesis 2014

Böing, S.J. (author)Deep convective clouds play a key role in tropical weather patterns, summertime rainfall, and the global transport of energy from the tropics to higher latitudes. Current weather and climate models struggle to realistically represent the development and behavior of these clouds. Both the timing of the convection and the role of humidity in the...doctoral thesis 2014

Chen, Y.C. (author)Nowadays people are increasingly sharing, collaborating and exchanging things. For example, AirBnB and Zipcar have been growing since the past five years. The economic recession and the rise of sustainable solutions are causes for this trend. Especially, car-sharing has been growing ever due to the legislative, and cultural emphasis on green and...master thesis 2014
