(author)Measuring a weak force is an important task for micromechanical systems, both when using devices as sensitive detectors and, particularly, in experiments of quantum mechanics. The optimal strategy for resolving a weak stochastic signal force on a huge background (typically given by thermal noise) is a crucial and debated topic, and the stability...journal article 2014

De Vriend, H.J. (author), Van Koningsveld, M. (author), Aarninkhof, S. (author)The Netherlands has adopted a new, proactive approach to developing its extensive coastal and river works called ‘building with nature’. Rather than simply minimising or mitigating the environmental impact of harbours, navigation channels, land reclamation and flood defences, the idea is to make use of the dynamics of the natural environment and...journal article 2014

Lodder, R.J. (author)The amounts of genetic data that are produced is steadily increasing. New methods to sequence genetic data are invented and existing methods are refined, resulting in the generation of more and larger datasets. To extract useful data from these growing datasets, the algorithms processing them have to support the new and larger datasets. In this...master thesis 2014

Romano, D. (author), Pinzger, M. (author)The relevance of the service interfaces’ granularity and its architectural impact have been widely investigated in literature. Existing studies show that the granularity of a service interface, in terms of exposed operations, should reflect their clients’ usage. This idea has been formalized in the Consumer-Driven Contracts pattern (CDC)....report 2014

Boedhoe, R.S. (author)This study researches the effect of visual and verbal facilitation in interdisciplinary design sketching on shared understanding and design creativity. Based on literature research and a field study, a sketch-focused facilitation protocol is developed which guides a facilitator in using sketching as a facilitation tool during creative sessions....master thesis 2014

Govaerts, K. (author), Sluiter, M.H.F. (author), Partoens, B. (author), Lamoen, D. (author)In order to account explicitly for the existence of long-periodic layered structures and the strong structural relaxations in the most common binary and ternary alloys of the Bi-Sb-Te-Se system, we have developed a one-dimensional cluster expansion (CE) based on first-principles electronic structure calculations, which accounts for the Bi and Sb...journal article 2014

(author)The embryonic heart is already beating before cardiac morphogenesis is complete. Therefore, the effect of blood flow on cardiogenesis has been subject of many studies. Shear stress, acting on the endocardial cells, has been shown to alter the expression of shear-responsive genes implicated in heart development. The congenital heart defects (CHDs...journal article 2014

Van der Dussen, J.J. (author), De Roode, S.R. (author)The relationship between the inversion stability and the liquid water path (LWP) tendency of a vertically well-mixed, adiabatic stratocumulus cloud layer is investigated in this study through the analysis of the budget equation for the LWP. The LWP budget is mainly determined by the turbulent fluxes of heat and moisture at the top and the base...journal article 2014

(author), Van der Weyden, L. (author)Retroviral insertional mutagenesis (RIM) is a powerful tool for cancer genomics that was combined in this study with deep sequencing (RIM/DS) to facilitate a comprehensive analysis of lymphoma progression. Transgenic mice expressing two potent collaborating oncogenes in the germ line (CD2-MYC, -Runx2) develop rapid onset tumours that can be...journal article 2014

Gerrits, M.R.J. (author)To obtain the absolute truth about the performance of a noise reduction method one requires to perform a listening experiment. As listening experiments are often time consuming and expensive there exists a need to replace these experiments by instrumental measures. Consequently, research has provided various instrumental measures which can been...master thesis 2014

Yap, M.D. (author)Disturbances in public transport are an important issue for passengers, public transport operators and infrastructure managers. After the occurrence of large disturbances, there is often a strong call from passengers and society to make the public transport network less vulnerable – and therefore more robust – against these types of events. In...master thesis 2014

Mueller, M.A. (author)Over the last two decades, global container transport has grown rapidly, and transport between Asia and Europe in particular. This increase in container transport has led to fierce competition between container ports. The competition between container ports is affected by various factors in the container transport sector. Changes in these...master thesis 2014

Static aquifer modelling of a Rotliegend Aeolian Sandstone for the Koekoekspolder Geothermal projectRedjosentono, E.A. (author)The development of geothermal energy projects at the moment in the Netherlands is growing. Where the first doublets were drilled in the West Netherlands Basin is now almost fully developed. Other areas in the Netherlands have also taken interest and are starting to evaluate this possibility. The Koekoekspolder in Overijssel is such a project...master thesis 2014

Lesiv, M. (author), Bun, A. (author), Jonas, M. (author)Total uncertainty in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions changes over time due to “learning” and structural changes in GHG emissions. Understanding the uncertainty in GHG emissions over time is very important to better communicate uncertainty and to improve the setting of emission targets in the future. This is a diagnostic study divided into two...journal article 2014
