Simulation of Interferometric Seismoelectric Green’s Function Recovery: For the SH-TE propagation mode

De Ridder, S.A.L. (author)

A recent novel technique known as seismic interferometry makes use of seismic ‘noise’ to reconstruct a Green’s function between two receivers by crosscorrelation. This technique can be applied for example in permanent subsurface monitoring using passive seismics or the creation of virtual sources on positions where only recordings were made. The...

Long-term morphological evolution of the Western Dutch Wadden Sea

Van Geer, P.F.C. (author)

The present study considers long-term morphologic development of the inlets forming the Western Dutch Wadden Sea. This concerns analysis of field measurements carried out since closure of the Zuider Sea (1932) as well as an assessment of possible imporvements of long-term morphological prodictions made for this area using ASMITA. From field...

Drag Effect of Dented Surfaces in Turbulent Flows

Vervoort, E. (author)

The subject of this thesis is the development of a method for reducing drag in turbulent flows, by means of the application of dented surfaces. This drag changing phenomenon is called the Dented Surface Effect (DSE). DSE makes use of dent-like cavities in the surface of an object, which influence the fluid flow over the surface. The literature...

Levees and levee evaluation, the Dutch and US practice compared

Ammerlaan, P.R.M. (author)

After Katrina flooded New Orleans, California was identified as the next area where such a major disaster could happen. Situated between the Sierra Nevada and coastal mountain ranges Californias Central Valley is characterized by its flatness and dominated by agriculture as well as large cities as Sacramento. The Sacramento River and San Joaquin...

Arctic Offshore Workability: Development and innovative imaging of a probabilistic climatology regarding Arctic sea ice and air temperatures

Burg, L. (author)

Studies underscore the significant reserve potential of the Arctic region: an estimated 25 percent of potential oil and gas reserves, onshore and offshore, is believed to be located in the Northern Hemispheres Arctic region. Although these areas already have been under consideration for over 30 years, technical difficulties have put a threshold...

Water controlling water

Boon, M.J.J. (author)

This project discusses the feasibility and effectiveness of emergency measures against river floods. The objective of the project is: To develop a method or system to temporarily increase the dike strength during flood wave conditions. Here, the dike strength in its broadest sense is meant. This means that besides the crest height also other...

Lifecycle management in langdurig wegbeheer: Optimalisatie van onderhoud voor beheerder en gebruiker

Ten Cate, M. (author)

In dit rapport zal worden gezocht naar een antwoord op de vraag of life- cycle management kan bijdragen in de langdurige onderhoudsplanning van snelwegen die past bij de veranderde rol van Rijkswaterstaat. Het doel is een model te ontwerpen dat de onderhoudsplanning kan helpen optimaliseren. Daarbij is het de bedoeling dat het model een antwoord...

Carbon nanotube biosensors: The critical role of the reference electrode

Minot, E.D. (author), Janssens, A.M. (author), Heller, I. (author), Heering, H.A. (author), Dekker, C. (author), Lemay, S.G. (author)

Carbon nanotube transistors show tremendous potential for electronic detection of biomolecules in solution. However, the nature and magnitude of the sensing signal upon molecular adsorption have so far remained controversial. Here, the authors show that the choice of the reference electrode is critical and resolves much of the previous...

Supporting conceptual product design by hybrid simulation of use processes with scenario structures

Van der Vegte, W.F. (author), Horváth, I. (author)

The approach described in this paper aims to offer designers a new way to investigate use processes of products by integrating scenarios of expected user behaviour with simulations of physical artefact behaviour. Use is considered a key process in the life cycle of a product, being the phase in which an instance of a product is put into service...

Water diffusion through a membrane protein channel: A first passage time approach

Van Hijkoop, V.J. (author), Dammers, A.J. (author), Malek, K. (author), Coppens, M.O. (author)

Water diffusion through OmpF, a porin in the outer membrane of Escherichia coli, is studied by molecular dynamics simulation. A first passage time approach allows characterizing the diffusive properties of a well-defined region of this channel. A carbon nanotube, which is considerably more homogeneous, serves as a model to validate the...

A clay layer as a revetment for sea dikes: The behaviour of clay under wave loading

De Visser, M.M. (author)

Environmental awareness and sustainable development have been popular themes over the last few years. To improve dikes along the estuaries in Zeeland (The Netherlands) where a high foreland with natural areas of salt marshes is present, alternatives to stone revetments are examined. From a natural and aesthetic point of view, a slope covered...

Predictability and unpredictability in optical system optimization

Van Turnhout, M. (author), Bociort, F. (author)

Local optimization algorithms, when they are optimized only for speed, have in certain situations an unpredictable behavior: starting points very close to each other lead after optimization to different minima. In these cases, the sets of points, which, when chosen as starting points for local optimization, lead to the same minimum (the so...

Practical guide to saddle-point construction in lens design

Bociort, F. (author), Van Turnhout, M. (author), Marinescu, O. (author)

Saddle-point construction (SPC) is a new method to insert lenses into an existing design. With SPC, by inserting and extracting lenses new system shapes can be obtained very rapidly, and we believe that, if added to the optical designer’s arsenal, this new tool can significantly increase design productivity in certain situations. Despite the...
