Paltrinieri, L. (author), Wang, M. (author), Sachdeva, S. (author), Besseling, N.A.M. (author), Sudhölter, Ernst J. R. (author), de Smet, L.C.P.M. (author)In this work commercially available Fe3O4 NPs were coated with polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) and PAH functionalized with guanidinium groups (PAH–Gu) for investigating the phosphate adsorption properties under alkaline conditions. The coating can be prepared easily and rapidly and results in Fe3O4 NPs with improved properties related to...journal article 2017

Zamiralova, M. (author)This dissertation investigates how to design a pipe belt conveyor system in a more effective way, considering two aspects: to ensure conveyor belt has sufficient bending stiffness to form an enclosed pipe shape without a contact loss with the idler rolls; and to reduce energy consumption of the system from the indentation rolling resistance. <br...doctoral thesis 2017

He, D. (author)Belt conveyors are widely used in bulk solids handling and conveying systems. Considering the extensive use of belt conveyors, their operations involve a large amount of energy. Taking the relevant economic and social challenges into account, there is a strong demand for lowering the energy consumption of belt conveyors, and for reducing the...doctoral thesis 2017

Wang, H. (author), Liu, Zhigang (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author)For the condition monitoring of railway catenaries, the potential utilization of pantograph head (pan-head) vertical acceleration instead of pantograph-catenary contact force is discussed in this paper. In order to establish a baseline of the pan-head acceleration before it can be used for health condition monitoring, one of the essential...conference paper 2017

Koolstra, H.J. (author)Loss of aircraft lateral control can be problem, specifically when multi engine propeller aircraft are faced with an engine failure. Another, less frequent phenomena is the loss of lateral control in case of aircraft damage. In this thesis, a method is developed to determine the minimum required aircraft velocity as a function of aircraft state...doctoral thesis 2017

Stavrou, M. (author)The cost of currently available technologies for CO2 capture should be further reduced to allow for large scale implementation of Carbon Capture and Storage. Solvents for CO2 capture systems with physical absorption are usually selected based on heuristics, engineering expertise and experimental trials. The performance of the separation system...doctoral thesis 2017

Ran, J. (author)The Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) is currently losing mass, as a result of complex mechanisms of ice-climate interaction that need to be understood for reliable projections of future sea level rise. The thesis focuses on the estimation of mass anomalies in Greenland using data from the GRACE satellite gravity mission. Monthly GRACE gravity field...doctoral thesis 2017

Alshuhail, A.A. (author)One of the most crucial estimates obtained from reflection seismology is the seismic image. It provides a map of the subsurface reflectivities. However, in order to construct an accurate map an accurate propagation velocity model is needed. For simple geologic environments an isotropic velocity model is sufficient, however, for complex geologic...doctoral thesis 2017

Teunissen, P.J.G. (author)The DIA method for the detection, identification and adaptation of model misspecifications combines estimation with testing. The aim of the present contribution is to introduce a unifying framework for the rigorous capture of this combination. By using a canonical model formulation and a partitioning of misclosure space, we show that the...journal article 2017

Zahmatkesh, M. (author), Spanjers, H. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author)In this study, we tested a new approach to facilitate the application of white rot fungi (WRF) under non-sterile conditions, by introducing grain sorghum as carrier and sole carbon and nutrient source for WRF. To this end, Trametes versicolor was immobilized on sorghum, and its ability to remove humic acid (HA) from synthetic and real...journal article 2017

(author), Seneviratne, Sonia I. (author)Weather extremes have harmful impacts on communities around Lake Victoria in East Africa. Every year, intense nighttime thunderstorms cause numerous boating accidents on the lake, resulting in thousands of deaths among fishermen. Operational storm warning systems are therefore crucial. Here we complement ongoing early warning efforts based on...journal article 2017

Rogova, E.S. (author)Reliability of transport equipment plays a crucial role in providing safety for passengers. Safety systems of transport equipment perform safety functions with assigned safety integrity levels (SIL). If the reliability of a safety system is not sufficient, it has to be improved till the required level. This can be done by improving maintenance,...doctoral thesis 2017
