Merckelbach, L.M. (author)Many harbours in the world suffer from high siltation rates in their basins. To guarantee safe shipping, harbour authorities have to maintain the navigable depth by having dredged large amounts of mud. Some authorities relate the navigable depth to a depth at which the density is equal to a certain value, e.g. 1200 kg/m3. However, the shear...report 1999

Wanhill, R.J.H. (author)Archaeological silver may be embrittled by long-term corrosion and microstructural changes. The embrittlement of artifacts increases with increasing grain size. This is explained by considering the grain boundary character and models describing the interactions between microcracks, lattice dislocations and grain boundaries. Severely embrittled...report 2001

Meng, J.H. (author)Bulk rock dumping in water for underwater structures bears the risk of grain size segregation. Due to their higher weight, large rocks drop faster than finer material. This can lead to vertical grain size segregation within the dumped resulting structure with the large rocks at the bottom and -sorted by size- the smaller fractions on top. The...report 2004

Christakis, N. (author), Chapelle, P. (author), Patel, M.K. (author), Cross, M. (author)Many industrial processes involve particulates with materials ranging from pharmaceuticals, ceramics, cosmetics and foods. Common to all these particulate processes is the discharge of granular material from bins/hoppers in either mass flow mode (i.e. all material regions in the domain are in motion) or core flow mode (i.e. there is a flowing...conference paper 2006

Filippi, M. (author), Rector, J.H. (author), Gremaud, R. (author), Van Setten, M.J. (author), Dam, B. (author)We report the preparation of sodium alanate, a promising hydrogen storage material, in a thin film form using cosputtering in a reactive atmosphere of atomic hydrogen. We study the phase formation and distribution, and the hydrogen desorption, with a combination of optical and infrared transmission spectroscopy. We show that the hydrogen...journal article 2009

Leegwater, H. (author), Schut, H. (author), Egger, W. (author), Baldi, A. (author), Dam, B. (author), Eijt, S.W.H. (author)We obtained evidence for the partial chemical segregation of as-deposited and hydrogenated Mg1?yTiy films (0 ? y ? 0.30) into nanoscale Ti and Mg domains using positron Doppler-broadening. We exclusively monitor the hydrogenation of Mg domains, owing to the large difference in positron affinity for Mg and Ti. The electron momentum distribution...journal article 2010

Van Eijk, G. (author)Does the neighbourhood in which people live matter for the resourcefulness of their personal network and thus for their opportunities in life? Do residents of a multi-ethnic ‘problem’ area maintain fewer relationships with fellow-residents compared to residents of a homogeneous problem-free neighbourhood? And do ‘diversity-seekers’ who choose to...doctoral thesis 2010

Bagnato, A. (author)The City is the historical nucleus of London. Today it is the world's primary financial district, a rigidly mono-functional part of London. It retains the structure - both urban and political - of a medieval citadel, unaccountable and closed to exterior. This project proposes a radical change of program: by adding a whole new landscape of...master thesis 2011

Van Ham, M. (author), Manley, D.J. (author)In this chapter we investigate the process of ethnic minority segregation in English social housing. Successive governments have expressed a commitment to the contradictory aims of providing greater choice – through the introduction of choice based letting – for households accessing an increasingly marginalised social housing sector whilst also...journal article 2012

Scheel, F. (author)Tidal inlet systems, as found in the Dutch Wadden Sea, often feature both sand and mud. Due to differences in sediment properties, sand and mud particles respond different to identical forcing conditions, like short waves and tidal currents. Because of this, sand and mud can get transported to different locations. This process is referred to by...master thesis 2012

Verhoek, E.M. (author)The number of enclosed residential domains (ERDs) in the Netherlands has seen a remarkable increase over the past twenty years. Roughly half of these projects are located in urban areas. This raises the question what the impact of large scale privatisation is on the city. Knowledge regarding the Dutch case is scarce. In particular, the relation...master thesis 2012

Stroeven, P. (author), He, H. (author)This paper presents some evidence of the impact of the Brazil nut effect (BNE) on concrete’s particulate structure on meso-level (aggregate) as well as on micro-level (cement paste). BNE is associated with long-range size segregation in particle mixtures due to vibration in slurry state of concrete, both near boundaries and in bulk. Presented...journal article 2012

Hoekstra, R. (author)The Dutch government aims since the 1990s at a more market oriented approach in urban planning with different implications in terms of who benefits and loses from interventions in vulnerable places such as neighbourhoods of empowerment (krachtwijken). This policy shift and way of thinking about urban planning implicated big changes in the...master thesis 2012

Madani, P. (author)Problem of segregation emerged as a side effect of the industrial society and is still a threat to the contemporary city. In cities with diverse socio-economic and ethnic population mix (Rotterdam also falls into this category), segregation can deepen feeling of inequality between the disadvantaged and the prosperous. Segregation can represent...master thesis 2013

Boschman, S.E. (author), Van Ham, M. (author)The selective inflow and outflow of residents by ethnicity is the main mechanism behind ethnic residential segregation. Many studies have found that ethnic minorities are more likely than others to move to ethnic minority concentration neighbourhoods. An important question which remains largely unanswered is to what extent this can be explained...journal article 2013

Enciso Castillo, D. (author)Computational modeling offers the possibility to design alloys in a cheaper and faster way. A model for surface segregation for binary alloys in vacuum and by adsorption and absorption of gases was developed and applied. The proposed model was used in conjunction with the Miedema semi-empirical model for the calculation of enthalpies of solution...master thesis 2013

Boschman, S.E. (author), Kleinhans, R.J. (author), Van Ham, M. (author)Selective mobility into and out of neighbourhoods is one of the driving forces of segregation. Empirical research has revealed who wants to leave certain types of neighbourhoods or who leaves certain neighbourhoods. A factor which has received little attention so far is that some residents will have a desire to leave their neighbourhood, but are...journal article 2014

Radai, D.P. (author)The ‘Arrival City’ (Saunders, 2010) describes a multicultural environment in Europe that creates opportunities and challenges at the same time (Wood, 2009). Sure enough, segregated, deprived neighbourhoods are a common outcome of this phenomenon. Often unplanned and uncontrolled social expansion characterised by primarily low-rent neighbourhoods...master thesis 2015
