Gieske, P. (author)Wave energy is a promising source of clean and renewable energy. In order to tap this energy various designs for wave-energy converters are currently under development. One of these devices is the Archimedes Wave Swing. It is basically a submerged air vessel consisting of a floater and a stator. The floater is free to move vertically under...master thesis 2007

Lambot, S. (author), Slob, E.C. (author), Vereecken, H. (author)We propose an efficient integration path for the fast evaluation of the three?dimensional spatial?domain Green's function for electromagnetic wave propagation in layered media for the particular case of zero?offset, source?receiver proximal ground?penetrating radar (GPR) applications. The integration path is deformed in the complex plane of the...journal article 2007

Gerbenzon, R. (author)The Windstem is a horizontal axis wind turbine for the urban environment that flaps back and forth like a bird’s wing instead of turning full circles. A successful wind turbine of this type has not yet been made. It was investigated whether a wind turbine with a wagging blade, the Windstem, can be competitive at any location with other wind...master thesis 2007

Eijt, S.W.H. (author), De Roode, J. (author), Schut, H. (author), Kooi, B.J. (author), De Hosson, J.T.M. (author)Coimplantation of Zn and O ions into a single crystalline MgO and subsequent thermal annealing were applied in the synthesis of ZnO nanocrystals. Electron microscopy showed that rocksalt instead of wurtzite ZnO stabilizes for relatively large nanocrystals up to ~15?nm, resulting from its small lattice mismatch with MgO of ~1.7%. The vacancies...journal article 2007

van Haaster, D.J. (author)Hydrogenase is an electron-transfer protein and catalyses the simplest chemical redox reaction, the reversible two-electron oxidation of molecular hydrogen in aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms. A kinetic study of the hydrogen oxidation reaction by Fe-hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio vulgaris (Hildenborough) reveals a biphasic activation...doctoral thesis 2007

Vieira, M.V.C. (author)In this thesis we present a generalization of interior-point methods for linear optimization based on kernel functions to symmetric optimization. It covers the three standard cases of conic optimization: linear optimization, second-order cone optimization and semi-definite optimization. We give an introduction to Euclidean Jordan algebras and...doctoral thesis 2007

Sable, S.P. (author)Coal based power generation is a significant source of mercury emissions to the atmosphere and this has attracted huge attention in the past decade. Recently, the concerns regarding global warming and need for new energy resources introduced the concept of cofiring of biomass and waste as secondary fuels in the power industry. The addition of a...doctoral thesis 2007

Mulder, W.A. (author), Wirianto, M. (author), Slob, E.C. (author)We modeled time-domain EM measurements of induction currents for marine and land applications with a frequency-domain code. An analysis of the computational complexity of a number of numerical methods shows that frequency-domain modeling followed by a Fourier transform is an attractive choice if a sufficiently powerful solver is available. A...journal article 2007

Bolderheij, F. (author)The management of sensors onboard of the vessels operated by the Royal Netherlands Navy is becoming increasingly knowledge intensive due to the fact that these vessels are equipped with state-of-the-art sensor systems that provide more functionality and more accurate information at the cost of more complex control mechanisms and due to the shift...doctoral thesis 2007

Chin, R.T.H. (author)Sustainable growth and the commercial success of "Mainport Holland", located in one of Europe’s most densely populated areas, is threatened by a lack of available land, a congested infrastructure, and an increasingly complex social, economic and political reality. To deal with these threats mainports, such as the Port of Rotterdam, are...doctoral thesis 2007

Faludi, A.K.F. (author)European planning has gone through a number of metamorphoses from the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP) to an, albeit tentative, policy to achieve territorial cohesion. The first section of this paper discusses developments since the turn of the century. The second section focuses on the renewed Member State initiative to produce...journal article 2007

(author)Here we describe the diversity and activity of sulfate reducing bacteria along a salinity gradient in four different soda lakes from the Kulunda Steppe (South East Siberia, Russia). For this purpose, a combination of culture-dependent and independent techniques was applied. The general bacterial and SRB diversity were analyzed by denaturing...journal article 2007

Melskens, J. (author)In recent decades, the public awareness of the need for renewable energy sources has increased greatly. Considering the current climate changes, it is clear that today’s energy systems have to be radically transformed onto a more sustainable basis to avoid the otherwise very likely adverse effects of global warming on tomorrow’s society and...master thesis 2007

Provoost, J.P. (author)Recent research shows that a majority of Dutch organisations now own accommodation plans or real estate strategies (Ernst and Young, 2005, p9). This legitimizes the research question What do real estate strategies look like in practice?
