Zwinkels, S. (author)In many processes, for example trickle-bed reactors, it is important to completely wet small spheres, or particles. (Baussaron, et al., 2007) Ideally, a small stream of liquid on such a particle would create a film around the particle, completely wetting it. It is therefore interesting to investigate which factors influence the formation of this...bachelor thesis 2014

Melman, C.M. (author)Mobile developement is a relatively new and popular domain for applications. An increasing amount of web applications are releasing a mobile variant of their application, which requires sharing of data. Currently, the creation of a mobile version can be done in two ways: a specialized web UI for mobile devices, which lacks good abstractions for...master thesis 2014

Alos-Palop, M. (author), Tiwari, R.P. (author), Blaauboer, M. (author)We investigate adiabatic quantum pumping of chiral Majorana states in a system composed of two Mach-Zehnder type interferometers coupled via a quantum point contact. The pumped current is generated by periodic modulation of the phases accumulated by traveling around each interferometer. Using scattering matrix formalism we show that the pumped...journal article 2014

Rada, M. (author)The main purpose of this work was to explore the barriers and opportunities that the transfer of second-hand computers, more precisely refurbished computes, could have if they were send to Uganda from Europe. In order to deal with this, we employed some frameworks previously developed to assess whether this transfer could be appropriated,...master thesis 2014

Kok, S.B. (author)In most businesses, email and collaboration services are essential to the performance of the company. Delivering a communication platform that scales well with the growth of the company, and provides the services anytime, anywhere, even in the event of failures is hard to achieve at low costs. Literature has proven that simplified email storage...master thesis 2014

Hollander, W. (author)The crew of the Razende Bol had experienced that their work conditions were worse than measured by the waverider. They concluded that the wave height measured by the waverider should be multiplied with a factor of 1.5 to find the real wave conditions in the working area. A number of reasons have been discussed, but only a hypothesis was...report 2014

Van der Kamp, M.V. (author)Strategic maintenance planning in the field of high-speed railway infrastructure maintenance is currently performed inefficiently. It is an important topic, since high-speed railway many kilometers of infrastructure will be constructed in the next twenty years. Interviewed experts state that the actual problem statements consists of five groups...master thesis 2014

Tierie, E.L. (author)The past seventy years the number of disasters that occur, man-made and natural, has increased. This problem requires suitable and efficient means to control and respond to emergency situations. Currently, the emergency responders use maps and software that allows for two dimensional visualisations of situations. Meanwhile the development of...master thesis 2014

Ubarevicius, M. (author)Architectural project for urban agriculture was developed in New York City, on East River waterfront in Manhattan. Analysis of the case study site was done by using advanced simulation techniques. Various bottom up computational methods allowed building organization and shape to be optimized in such a way as to more efficiently use natural...master thesis 2014

Van Dam, S.B.J. (author)Future air traffic concepts foresee that in unmanaged airspace, to reduce workload of air traffic controllers and the resulting constraints on capacity, the separation task will be delegated to the flight deck. Technology-driven pilot self-separation support systems have been developed that present explicit automated solutions to deal with...doctoral thesis 2014

Oskam, G.J.J. (author)The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether other representation techniques of the in-cylinder pressure signal, besides the current pressure-crank angle curve, have the potential of improving the diagnosis in a condition monitoring program. Investigated are the quantitative representation of the heat release through Vibe parameters and the...master thesis 2014

Schmal, J.P. (author)Dynamic chemical process modelling is still largely considered an art. In this thesis the theory of large-scale chemical process modelling and validation is discussed and initial steps to extend the theory are explored. In particular we pay attention to the effect of the level of detail on the model simulation and optimisation performance. We...doctoral thesis 2014

Moriniere, F.D. (author)Generating high-energy absorbing FML concepts is challenging because aluminium and composite failure mechanisms are acting concurrently during the impact process. Because the impact process involves energy transformation, an analytical energy balance method was used to assess the contribution of the material constituents in the low-velocity...doctoral thesis 2014

Farahmand, S. (author), Giannakis, G.B. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author), Tian, Z. (author)Multi-target tracking is mainly challenged by the nonlinearity present in the measurement equation and the difficulty in fast and accurate data association. To overcome these challenges, the present paper introduces a grid-based model in which the state captures target signal strengths on a known spatial grid (TSSG). This model leads to linear...journal article 2014

Verweij, V.J.F. (author)We use more electronic devices every day and as a result the amount of energy we consume at home keeps increasing each year. Most household consumers only receive feedback on how much energy they have consumed that year, by receiving their annual utilities bill. But these bills only give an overview of the overall consumption, leaving consumers...master thesis 2014

Vieira Leitão, J.C. (author)The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) consists, in simple terms, in the heating of a magnetic material by the application of an external magnetic field. This can be easily understood if one but imagines a magnetic material with randomly applied spins; as a magnetic field is applied the spins will tend to alight with this field and as a result the...doctoral thesis 2014
