Simons, C. (author)Chemical production processes often require wasteful and expensive isolation as well as purification of intermediates. Catalytic cascades offer a unique opportunity to eliminate these inefficient and polluting steps, in particular when carefully orchestrated, involving enzymes and chemocatalysts. This thesis describes our efforts towards a...doctoral thesis 2007

Kolstein, M.H. (author)This dissertation presents the research into fatigue classifications of welded joints in orthotropic steel bridge decks. These classifications are needed to calculate the fatigue life of these joints and should be included in the design codes. For years bridge design was mainly based on static loading. Due to the development of modern light...doctoral thesis 2007

Vrolijk, B. (author)The research described in this thesis was part of a larger research project about multi-phase flows. These flows are characterised by a sharp transition between the fluids, the so-called phase front. One of the goals of the project was to study the evolution of the phase fronts using CFD, i.e. to study the development of the surfaces over time...doctoral thesis 2007

Lopez, M.J.J. (author), Van Nes, A. (author)At this moment, more knowledge is available on the physical characteristics of the built environment and their relationship to criminal opportunity rather than the spatial characteristics of potential targets and the public and private space between them. To improve this situation, a research project was started in the Dutch cities Gouda and...conference paper 2007

Read, S. (author), Bruyns, G. (author), Van den Hoogen, E. (author), Plomp, M. (author)The Flat City space syntax model (Read, 2005), has been developed to extend the functionality of the space syntax method into the ‘periphery’ (the metropolitan) of the contemporary metropolitan city, and to provide a method for describing and evaluating the form of contemporary urban landscapes. The Flat City model proposes that the environment...conference paper 2007

Van Nes, A. (author), Lopez, M.J.J. (author)Research on urban environment by means of space syntax theory and methods tends to focus on macro scale spatial conditions. However, micro scale conditions should not be neglected. In research on street life and dispersal of crime in urban areas, it became inevitable to pay attention to the interdependence between the macro as well as the micro...conference paper 2007

Van Nes, A. (author)In urban research, spatial and social concepts of centrality are being distinguished. From a spatial point of view, metrical centrality implies that something is located in the middle of an area. However, metrical and topological centrality are not equivalent. In research where space syntax methods are applied, topological centrality implies...conference paper 2007

Read, S. (author)The Flat City space syntax model (Read, 2005), proposes that a structure of the environment is generated in the processes of definition and use of places by people in movement. These processes presuppose a dynamic embedding of subjects in environment, the production of a ‘structure of inhabitation’ of the urban landscape in movement, and a...conference paper 2007

Dudok van Heel, D. (author)A feasibility study has been started with respect to the joint-free exectution of quay walls in high-performance concrete. This feasibility study has the purpose of looking for faster means of building quay walls. The use of high performance concrete is an excellent material for a faster execution of the superstructure of quay walls. The...master thesis 2007

Agung, A. (author)In this thesis a conceptual design of an innovative high temperature reactor based on the fluidization principle (FLUBER) is proposed. The reactor should satisfy the following requirements: (a) modular and low power, (b)) large shutdown margin, (c) able to produce power when the bed of particles expands and stop as soon as the coolant flow is...doctoral thesis 2007

Schweckendiek, T. (author), Courage, W.M.G. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)The Finite Element Method is well accepted in design practice nowadays. It can be used for modeling complex structures and systems. The constitutive models are improving, which enables us to make more accurate predictions of the real world behavior. On the other hand, especially in the field of geotechnical engineering, the uncertainties in the...conference paper 2007
