Koleva, D.A. (author), De Wit, J.H.W. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author), Bachvarov, V. (author), Kolev, H. (author), Fraaij, A. (author)The corrosion behavior of reinforcing steel, previously embedded in concrete and maintained in conditions of corrosion and two regimes (conventional and pulse) of cathodic protection (CP), was characterized using electrochemical measurements in cement extract (CE) solutions of pH 12.6. The investigation aimed at determination of the properties...journal article 2007

Gross, H.G. (author), Lormans, M. (author), Zhou, J. (author)One of the first steps of component procurement is the identification of required component features in large repositories of existing components. On the highest level of abstraction, component requirements as well as component descriptions are usually written in natural language. Therefore, we can reformulate component identification as a text...report 2007

Ludden, G.D.S. (author), Schifferstein, H.N.J. (author)Product experience is influenced by information from all the senses. Our experiments provide insight into how sounds contribute to the overall experience of a product’s expression. We manipulated the sounds of dust busters and juicers so that they either did or did not fit the expressions of the products’ appearances. In some, but not all cases,...journal article 2007

Westerweel, J. (author)This paper presents a generalization of the description of the displacement-correlation peak in particle image velocimetry (PIV) to include the effects due to local velocity gradients at the scale of the interrogation domain. A general expression is derived that describes the amplitude, location and width of the displacement-correlation peak in...journal article 2007

Stam, D.M. (author)We present results of numerical simulations of flux F and degree of polarization P of light that is reflected by Earth–like extrasolar planets orbiting solar type stars. Our results are presented as functions of the wavelength (from 0.3 to 1.0 ?m, with 0.001 ?m spectral resolution) and as functions of the planetary phase angle. We use different...journal article 2007

Nijdam, T.J. (author), Sloof, W.G. (author)The relation between the Y distribution in the alloy and the growth kinetics of the developing oxide scale was studied for the thermal oxidation of two Ni–20Co–19Cr–24Al–0.2Y (at.%) alloys at 1,373 K: (i) a coarse-grain cast alloy with large Ni5Y intermetallic precipitates, and (ii) a fine-grain freestanding coating with small Ni5Y precipitates....journal article 2007

Brübach, J. (author), Van Veen, E. (author), Dreizler, A. (author)For the determination of surface normal temperature gradients, a generic system was built up consisting of two opposed, vertical nozzles impinging onto a flat, horizontal copper plate. From below, the plate was heated by non-reacting, turbulent air jets (Re = 5,000) and by a laminar flame (? = 0.7, Re = 350), respectively. For well-defined...journal article 2007

Berends, T.C. (author)Large Engineering and Construction Projects (LECPs) form an important area of economic activity, covering a range of different artefacts. These projects have in common that they are massive undertakings, spanning long time periods and they involve large capital investments. Uncertainty and risk are the ruling paradigms. In the oil, gas and...doctoral thesis 2007

Aravind, P.V. (author), Ouweltjes, J.P. (author), Woudstra, N. (author), Rietveld, G. (author)The impact of biomass-derived contaminants on solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) with Ni/gadolinia-doped ceria (GDC) anodes was investigated using electrochemical impedance analysis. Measurements were carried out with symmetric test cells under a single-gas atmosphere. The impact of H2S, HCl, and naphthalene in the gas stream on the performance of...journal article 2007

Spivakovskaya, D. (author), Heemink, A.W. (author), Deleersnijder, E. (author)Random walk models are a powerful tool for the investigation of transport processes in turbulent flows. However, standard random walk methods are applicable only when the flow velocities and diffusivity are sufficiently smooth functions. In practice there are some regions where the rapid but continuous change in diffusivity may be represented by...journal article 2007

Van den Boomgaard, M. (author), Gautier, C. (author)This report concerns the hindcast study of the SWAN wave model for two storms in the inlet of the Eastern Scheldt, including the selection of the storms. The aim of the study is the performance of SWAN with respect to the wave penetration of combined swell and wind sea into the inlet.report 2007

Stachewicz, U. (author), Dijksman, J.F. (author), Yurteri, C.U. (author), Marijnissen, J.C.M. (author)In order to use electrospraying as an on demand deposition method, well defined and reproducible single electrospraying events have been studied. To generate a single electrospraying event, rectangular voltage pulses superimposed on a constant bias voltage were applied, and optimum settings of the bias dc voltage for starting such an event were...journal article 2007

Morais, A. (author)In dit bachelorverslag wordt de verspreiding van een griepepidemie in Nederland gemodelleerd. Ten eerste worden enkele wiskundige modellen opgesteld, waarbij het ene model een verbetering is van het vorige. Deze modellen leveren beginwaarde problemen op die numeriek worden opgelost. Hierbij wordt gebruik gemaakt van enkele bekende numerieke...bachelor thesis 2007

Landgrebe, T.C.W. (author)In statistical pattern recognition, problems involve distinguishing of various concepts or classes, based on the development of classifiers/discriminators. These exploit discriminatory information existing in measurements originating from objects. A trained classifier results in a partitioning in measurement space, providing some separation...doctoral thesis 2007

Gower, H.L. (author)The purpose of this work is to investigate the weldability of a metal polymer sandwich structure. The welding of the sandwich material proceeds first by welding of the skin layer. The material selected for this research is Steelite, a sandwich structure developed by Corus, with 0.12 mm thick mild steel skin layers adhesively bonded to a 0.62 mm...doctoral thesis 2007
