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

Jol, S. (author)The use of microbial organisms in industrial production processes drives the desire to modify cellular processes in order to obtain a production process with high efficiency. For this purpose understanding of the mechanisms in the cell is crucial. The construction of models for metabolic control analysis is done in order to make sensible...master thesis 2007

Op 't Land, M. (author), Proper, H.A. (author)Increasingly, organizations make use of enterprise architectures to direct the development of the enterprise as a whole and the development of their IT portfolio in particular. This steering and directing is done by means of principles, which are essentially regarded as constraints on the design space for enterprise engineers, thus guiding them...conference paper 2007

Jonkman, S.N. (author)The flooding of New Orleans due to hurricane Katrina in the year 2005 showed the world the catastrophic consequences of large-scale floods. This dissertation presents a method for the estimation of loss of life caused by the flooding of low-lying delta areas. It also includes a preliminary analysis of the loss of life due to the flooding of New...doctoral thesis 2007
