de Lange, C.C. (author)Between 2009 and 2012, 30 collisions between straddle carriers have been observed at APM Terminals Rotterdam. Although none of these accidents were fatal, the urgency to decrease the rate of collisions, especially the risk of a potential fatality, is apparent. The measures to prevent these collisions currently in place are developed from an...master thesis 2014

Van Wageningen-Kessels, F.L.M. (author), Van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Vuik, C. (author)We propose and analyze a generic multi-class kinematic wave traffic flow model: Fastlane. The model takes into account heterogeneity among driver-vehicle units with respect to speed and space occupancy: long vehicles with large headways (e.g. trucks) take more space than short vehicles with short headways (e.g. passenger cars). Moreover, and...journal article 2014

Van der Neut, J.R. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Vasconcelos, I. (author)Complex overburdens can severely distort transmitted wavefields, posing serious challenges for seismic imaging. In Marchenko redatuming, we use an iterative scheme to estimate so-called focusing functions, which can be used to redatum seismic wavefields to a specified level below the major complexities in the subsurface. Unlike in conventional...conference paper 2014

Janeliunas, D. (author)Organized ?-conjugated oligothiophene structures in water are highly promising building blocks to create a vast variety of smart and functional electronic systems. Such materials already found application in biological and chemical sensors, organic light-emitting diodes and photovoltaic devices. The high level of molecular order in such devices...doctoral thesis 2014

Susanto, A. (author), Koleva, D.A. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author)Stray current is essentially an electrical current “leakage” from metal conductors and electrical installations. When it flows through cement-based systems, electrical energy is converted to thermal energy that causes increasing temperature due to Joule heating phenomena. The aim of this paper is to shed light on the influence of electrical...conference paper 2014

A study towards yield optimization for the Expanded Tobacco II process of Philip Morris Holland B.V.Tieleman, P. (author)In the tobacco industry, Philip Morris Holland B.V., part of Philip Morris International, is a cigarette manufacturing company. Within its Primary department tobacco leaves are pretreated in such a way to meet the requirements for cigarette production, which is done in the Secondary department. Tobacco pretreatment processes are: cutting, adding...master thesis 2014

Roelse, F.P. (author)In the last decades shipping has increased significantly, resulting in larger ships with an increasing power in bow thrusters. Due to this increasing power, the hydraulic loads at bottom protection near quay structures has also increased, making a traditional bed protection more expensive. Therefore an alternative design method is suggested in...master thesis 2014

Teixeira Pinto, R. (author)When large amounts of electricity need to be transported for long distances, or when underground or submarine cables are involved, using direct current high-voltage transmission systems is more efficient and cost effective than using traditional high-voltage alternating current transmission. Therefore, the main thesis objective is to study to...doctoral thesis 2014

Villanueva Lopez, H.M. (author)Power curves are a fundamental element of any wind resource assessment. These are required to estimate how much energy a wind turbine will convert. The theoretical power curves are validated with measurements in test sites, however they may not be fully applicable in different wind climates as they are dependent on the site where, and the...master thesis 2014

Van Eijk, M.F. (author)Neuroscientific experiments often require large amounts of computational power to achieve an efficient research process. Speeding up neuron models, used in such experiments, facilitates faster testing of scientific hypotheses and faster model refinement in order to better replicate biological-cell behavior. To be able to simulate realistic...master thesis 2014

(author)This paper presents evidence that model prediction uncertainty does not necessarily rise with parameter dimensionality (the number of parameters). Here by prediction we mean future simulation of a variable of interest conditioned on certain future values of input variables. We utilize a relationship between prediction uncertainty, sample size...journal article 2014
