Demi, L. (author)The design and optimization of medical ultrasound modalities require a method for modeling the propagation of pressure wave fields through biomedical tissue. This method needs to be capable of modeling various phenomena, e.g. nonlinear propagation, attenuation, and scattering caused by arbitrary inhomogeneities in the acoustic properties of the...doctoral thesis 2013

Grzech, A. (author)In this thesis representatives of two different types of materials for potential hydrogen storage application are presented. Usage of either nanoporous materials or metal hydrides has both operational advantages and disadvantages. A main objective of this thesis is to characterize the hydrogen storage mechanism of selected Metal-Organic...doctoral thesis 2013

Lennartz, C. (author)In the context of shifting regulatory approaches and changing provision structures in many Western rental housing systems, the notion of competition between social and private rental housing has received increasing attention from practitioners and academic researchers. This thesis explores and theorises the concept of inter-tenure competition in...doctoral thesis 2013

Kim, H. (author)This thesis is a work on a contact line instability at a finite Reynolds number, 0 < Re < O(100). This problem corresponds to an immersion droplet applied in a liquid- immersion lithography machine. We perform extensive works to understand this instability problem by means of experimental, numerical, and theoretical ways. First, in order to...doctoral thesis 2013

Von Asmuth, J.R. (author)Groundwater, water in the ground. Although it is invisible, it is a vital resource for all terrestrial life (whether direct or indirect). Many processes interact with it. Rain recharges it, as it infiltrates the soil. Plant roots take it up, and their leaves evaporate it. It discharges to rivers and streams, and is abstracted with pumping wells....doctoral thesis 2012

Krabbendam, P. (author)Modernistische architectuur heeft, door haar nadruk op functionaliteit en wetenschap, geen verweer tegen depersonalisatie; Postmodernistische architectuur heeft door haar nadruk op de beleving en op het spel en de illusie, geen verweer tegen de postmodernistische leegte. Zo kunnen beide benaderingen aanleiding geven tot problemen op het vlak van...doctoral thesis 2011

Zhao, L. (author)In this thesis, we present an automatic polyp detection approach that integrates knowledge from flow visualization techniques. Our primary goal was to compute additional characteristic polyp features that improve the CAD performance of existing polyp detection approaches by eliminating found false-positive polyp candidates. We found that surface...doctoral thesis 2011

Tuan Trinh, M. (author)Knowledge of excited electronic states in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) is of fundamental scientific interest and is important for application in lasers, optical detectors, LEDs, solar cells, photocatalysis, biomedical imaging, photodynamic therapy etc. In the past few years, carrier multiplication (CM) in QDs has received particular...doctoral thesis 2010

Meenderinck, C.H. (author)In pursuit of ever increasing performance, more and more processor architectures have become multicore processors. As clock frequency was no longer increasing rapidly and ILP techniques showed diminishing results, increasing the number of cores per chip was the natural choice. The transistor budget is still increasing and thus it is expected...doctoral thesis 2010

Kroon-van Loon, P.S. (author)About 30% of the increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) are related to land use changes and agricultural activities. In order to select effective measures, knowledge is required about GHG emissions from these ecosystems and how these emissions are influenced by management and...doctoral thesis 2010

Vrijdag, A. (author)Off design conditions can have a severe impact on ship propulsion system behaviour. Resistance increase for instance leads to a higher engine loading, and can also easily lead to a decrease of cavitation inception speed with respect to calm water conditions. Wakefield variations due to ship motions, waves and manoeuvres also have effect on...doctoral thesis 2009

Li, H. (author)Transportation systems are stochastic and dynamic systems. The road capacities and the travel demand are fluctuating from time to time within a day and at the same time from day to day. For road users, the travel time and travel costs experienced over time and space are stochastic, thus desire reliable travel times and low travel costs by...doctoral thesis 2009

Jamakovic, A. (author)This thesis focuses on the topological characterization of complex networks. It specifically focuses on those elementary graph measures that are of interest when quantifying topology-related aspects of the robustness of complex networks. This thesis makes the following contributions to the field of complex networks. Firstly, the thesis analyses...doctoral thesis 2008

Dijkstra, B.G. (author)In the past Iterative Learning Control has been shown to be a method that can easily achieve extremely high performance with very limited effort from the user. Unfortunately an Iterative Learning Controller (ILC) exhibits some side effects such as amplification of system noise and control activity when the system should be at rest. This had led...doctoral thesis 2004
