Cowan, A. (author)In order to meet the requirements set by the national government and European Union concerning energy reduction, the EPC of houses will have to drop to 0.4 by 2015 and 0 by 2020. To achieve these target, it is necessary to gain more knowledge about the real performance of current new realized buildings, to see how these buildings can be improved...master thesis 2014

Hu, K. (author)Near-field source localization is an important aspect in many diverse areas such as acoustics, seismology, to list a few. The planar wave assumption frequently used in far-field source localization is no longer valid when the sources are in the near field. Near-field sources can be localized by solving a joint direction-of-arrival and range...master thesis 2014

Taale, Henk (author)Dynamic traffic management is an important approach to minimise the negative effects of increasing congestion. Measures such as ramp metering and route information, but also the traditional traffic signal control is used. The focus in designing traffic control plans has always been on local control. However, there is a tendency to come to a more...other 2014

Boeke, L.W. (author), Van der Plaats, R.L. (author)In deze thesis is het ontwerpproces van de ’Altimeter bal’ beschreven. Deze bal is bedoeld als speelgoed voor kinderen en behoort na een worp de maximale hoogte van die worp weer te geven. Onderzoek is gedaan naar de manier van hoogtebepaling, het materiaal waarvan de bal gemaakt is en de manier waarop de Altimeter bal met de gebruiker...bachelor thesis 2014

Eilander, D.M. (author), Annor, F.O. (author), Iannini, L. (author), Van de Giesen, N.C. (author)Multipurpose small reservoirs are important for livelihoods in rural semi-arid regions. To manage and plan these reservoirs and to assess their hydrological impact at a river basin scale, it is important to monitor their water storage dynamics. This paper introduces a Bayesian approach for monitoring small reservoirs with radar satellite images....journal article 2014

Schmied, S.A. (author)The aim of the research presented in this work was to investigate the novel idea to produce continuous breaking waves, whereby a pressure source was rotated within an annular wave pool. The concept was that the pressure source generates non-breaking waves that propagate inward to the inner ring of the annulus, where a sloping bathymetry (beach)...doctoral thesis 2014

Solaimani Kartalaei, H. (author)For a long time, technology has served as a silver bullet to gain a sustainable competitive advantage and to outperform the competitors. However, access to and exploitation of technologies gradually becomes a commodity, hence a less powerful resource to be leveraged to a competitive edge. Instead, companies increasingly are captivated by the...doctoral thesis 2014

Frenzel, P. (author), Hillerbrand, R. (author), Pfennig, A. (author)The vast majority of today’s chemical products are based on crude oil. An attractive and sustainable alternative feedstock is biomass. Since crude oil and biomass differ in various properties, new synthesis pathways and processes have to be developed. In order to prioritize limited resources for research and development (R & D), their economic...journal article 2014

De Jonge, M. (author)The goal of this dissertation is to develop techniques that simplify the implementation of tool support for new languages. More specifically, we focus on language-parametric solutions for the implementation of language-specific editor support. In the first part of this dissertation we investigate generic techniques to recover from syntax errors...doctoral thesis 2014

(author)Background Global efforts to eradicate wild polioviruses (WPVs) continue to face challenges due to uninterrupted endemic WPV transmission in three countries and importation-related outbreaks into previously polio-free countries. We explore the potential role of including older children and adults in supplemental immunization activities (SIAs) to...journal article 2014

Miller, A. (author), Jonkman, S.N. (author), Van Ledden, M. (author)After the catastrophic flooding of New Orleans due to hurricane Katrina in the year 2005, the city's hurricane protection system has been improved to provide protection against a hurricane load with a 1/100 per year exceedance frequency. This paper investigates the risk to life in post-Katrina New Orleans. In a risk-based approach the...journal article 2014

De Vries, P.A.L. (author)In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Ike to the Galveston Bay Area, Texas, United States in September 2008, several proposals emerged to protect the region against future storm surges. One of them is a coastal spine called the ’Ike Dike’. A challenge for this 160 km [100 mi] long flood protection is to cross Bolivar Roads, a 2.8 km...master thesis 2014

Smidt, D.M. (author)This research is twofold. Firstly it treats the complexity of design using a computational intelligent method to achieve, with regard to a limited set of goals, high performing designs. Secondly, an architectural and structural challenge to conceptually design a freeform roof framework, which integrates structural rigidity and non-standard...master thesis 2014

(author)In this study, we report on the electrical response of top-down, p-type silicon nanowire field-effect transistors exposed to water and mixtures of water and dioxane. First, the capacitive coupling of the back gate and the liquid gate via an Ag/AgCl electrode were compared in water. It was found that for liquid gating smaller potentials are...journal article 2014

Skaloumpakas, K. (author)The need for fault ride-through (FRT) capability is not yet documented for the low voltage connected DG. The realization that an increase in the capacity of installed DG power in the specific voltage level can trigger disconnection, in case of transmission faults, of massive amounts of power from DG and jeopardize system stability is forming. In...master thesis 2014
