Klein Breteler, M. (author), Eysink, W.D. (author)Het huidige verslag beschrijft de resultaten van Deltagootproeven, gericht op de reststerkte van de toplaag, die gedefinieerd is als de tijd vanaf initiële schade totdat de toplaag over vele vierkante meters beschadigd is geraakt en de ondergrond begint uit te spoelen. Het onderzoek beperkt zich tot datgene wat met een geringe inspanning aan...report 2007

Steinführer, A. (author)The report discusses the findings of a questionnaire survey carried out in five localities of the Mulde catchment (Germany) in 2005 (N=404). All these settlements were heavily affected by the 2002 August flood. Both an event- and a phase-sensitive approach are applied from a bottom-up perspective of the people affected. This specific...report 2007

Tuzcu, T.M. (author)The primary energy use for house heating has increased strongly in the second half of the previous century. The environmental and economical impact of this high energy consumption has augmented the use of affordable insulation materials which have moderate environmental impact. Sheep wool is one of these natural products which are becoming more...master thesis 2007

Davila Gomez, Y.O. (author), Dijk, J. (author), Mul, G. (author), Kapteijn, F. (author)The invention relates to a process for the treatment of an exhaled anaesthetic gas comprising at least one anaesthetic agent, said process comprising the steps of: - in a first step contacting said anaesthetic gas with an adsorbent to adsorb said anaesthetic agent onto said adsorbent, - in a second step desorbing said anaesthetic agent from said...patent 2007

Vastenburg, M.H. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author), De Ridder, H. (author)A field study in ten homes was conducted to understand what influences users’ acceptability of notifications in the home environment. The key finding is that perceived message urgency is the primary indicator of acceptability of notifications in the home—if people think a message is urgent, they want the message to be shown immediately,...journal article 2007

Vermeulen, B. (author)The process of design aircraft systems is becoming more and more complex, due to an increasing amount of requirements. Moreover, the knowledge on how to solve these complex design problems becomes less readily available, because of a decrease in availability of intellectual resources and reduced knowledge transfer opportunities. Aerospace...doctoral thesis 2007

Neykov, N.M. (author), Neytchev, P.N. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Todorov, V.K. (author)The discordancy measure in terms of the sample L?moment ratios (L?CV, L?skewness, L?kurtosis) of the at?site data is widely recommended in the screening process of atypical sites in the regional frequency analysis (RFA). The sample mean and the covariance matrix of the L?moments ratios, on which the discordancy measure is based, are not robust...journal article 2007

Moscu Panainte, E. (author)In this dissertation, we present the Molen compiler framework that targets reconfigurable architectures under the Molen Programming Paradigm. More specifically, we introduce a set of compiler optimizations that address one of the main shortcomings of the reconfigurable architectures, namely the reconfiguration overhead. The proposed...doctoral thesis 2007

Alles, J. (author), Mudde, R.F. (author)Polychromatic x-ray beams traveling though material are prone to beam hardening, i.e., the high energy part of the incident spectrum gets over represented when traveling farther into the material. This study discusses the concept of a mean attenuation coefficient in a formal way. The total energy fluence is one-to-one related to the traveled...journal article 2007

Tuan, Thieu Quang (author)Natural or unintended breaching can be catastrophic, causing loss of human lives and damage to infrastructures, buildings and natural habitats. Quantitative understand-ing of coastal barrier breaching is therefore of great importance to vulnerability as-sessment of protection works as well as to spatial planning against flooding hazards. The...doctoral thesis 2007

Van der Aa, E.M. (author)One of the major problems during welding of thin plate structures is the occurrence of buckling distortion. This type of distortion is caused by the formation of compressive welding stresses; when these stresses exceed a certain critical stress level, the structure will buckle. Most methods for eliminating the welding induced buckling distortion...doctoral thesis 2007

Al-Ali, M.N. (author)Complexities of the near surface and the varying acquisition-surface topography have degrading effects on land seismic images. This is because of trapped Rayleigh waves in the near-surface, and the distortions occurring to the body waves while passing through the complex near-surface. Removal of these two effects depends on the acquisition...doctoral thesis 2007

(author)For the safe use of lithium-based batteries, a management system is neccessary. This management system keeps an eye on the battery to prevent it from overloading (explosion hazard) and underloading (battery failure). Furthermore, it strongly reduces degradation of the battery.bachelor thesis 2007

(author)This paper examines the role of continuity of the basis in the computation of turbulent flows. We compare standard finite elements and non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) discretizations that are employed in Isogeometric Analysis (Hughes et al. in Comput Methods Appl Mech Eng, 194:4135–4195, 2005). We make use of quadratic discretizations...journal article 2007
