Vitale, F. (author)The design and the optimization of electronic systems often requires a detailed knowledge of the inherent noise generated within semiconductor active devices, constituting the core of such systems. Examples of applications in which noise is a key issue include receiver front-ends in radiofrequency (RF) and optoelectronic transmission systems,...doctoral thesis 2014

Noyon, Tijs (author)This study investigated the effect of chord deformation on the unsteady aerodynamic mechanisms found in hovering flapping flight at a Reynolds number of Re = 2002. This was done in order to get a better understanding of the physics involved in flapping flight, which in turn could lead to improved Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) designs. A three...master thesis 2014

Zebenay, M. (author)The European Proximity Operation Simulator (EPOS) is a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system aiming, among other objectives, at emulating on-orbit docking of spacecraft for verification and validation of the docking phase. This HIL docking simulator set-up essentially consists of docking interfaces, simulating the servicing satellite called chaser...doctoral thesis 2014

Weijermars, R. (author)Fluid displacement in a continuum pressured by a variable constellation of source flows can be visualized as solutions of line integrals. The algorithms are based on complex potentials that provide exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation and allow users to specify both the location and flux strength of multiple sources. If relative...journal article 2014

Resch, V.A. (author), Jin, J. (author), Chen, B.S. (author), Hanefeld, U. (author)The Michael hydratase – alcohol dehydrogenase (MhyADH) from Alicycliphilus denitrificans was previously identified as a bi-functional enzyme performing a hydration of ?,?-unsaturated ketones and subsequent oxidation of the formed alcohols. The investigations of the bi-functionality were based on a spectrophotometric assay and an activity...journal article 2014

Petermeijer, S.M. (author)Abstract – Background: A principal design choice in providing steering wheel force feedback to assist drivers during lane-keeping is whether feedback should be provided for any error with respect to the lane centre (continuous feedback) or only when acceptable tolerance limits are exceeded (bandwidth feedback). Problem: Research has shown that...master thesis 2014

Broerse, D.B.T. (author)During earthquakes large scale mass displacements take place when slip on a fault deforms the earth’s crust. Besides, in the days to decades after the main shock ongoing deformation is usually observed that is related to relaxation of stresses caused by the earthquake. In this thesis I relate gravity changes as observed by the GRACE satellite...doctoral thesis 2014

Doorn, F.A. (author)This study develops a theoretical framework to judge in which particular instances a two-dimensional depth-averaged model is sufficient to simulate flow processes in continental shelf seas or when a fully three-dimensional model is required for accurate results. A depth-averaged model does not give any vertical information, which is unfortunate...master thesis 2014

De Glopper, M. (author)Aseptic loosening is the major failure mode for hip prostheses. Currently, loosened prostheses are revised during open surgery. Because of a high complication rate, this demanding procedure cannot be performed in patients with a poor general health. We are developing an alternative minimally invasive refixation procedure that leaves the...master thesis 2014

Daalhuizen, J.J. (author)Methods are means to help designers achieve desired change as efficiently and effectively as possible. Methods can be used to do so in the context of learning - to help teach students how to design on a professional level. Methods can also be used in the context of performance - to help designers perform better at what they already do (well)....doctoral thesis 2014
