Van der Wal, W. (author), Whitehouse, P.L. (author), Schrama, E.J.O. (author)Seismic data indicate that there are large viscosity variations in the mantle beneath Antarctica. Consideration of such variations would affect predictions of models of Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA), which are used to correct satellite measurements of ice mass change. However, most GIA models used for that purpose have assumed the mantle to...journal article 2015

Wakker, K.F. (author)This book deals with the motion of the center of mass of a spacecraft; this discipline is generally called astrodynamics. The book focuses on an analytical treatment of the motion of spacecraft and provides insight into the fundamentals of spacecraft orbit dynamics. A large number of topics are treated in a uniform and consistent way. The text...book 2015

Karimi, P. (author), Bastiaanssen, W.G.M. (author)The scarcity of water encourages scientists to develop new analytical tools to enhance water resource management. Water accounting and distributed hydrological models are examples of such tools. Water accounting needs accurate input data for adequate descriptions of water distribution and water depletion in river basins. Ground-based...journal article 2015

Kotnur, V.G. (author)NiTi (Nickel Titanium) is a shape memory alloy (SMA) known for shape memory effect and superelasticity. The shape memory effect and superelasticity allows NiTi to be strained reversibly unto 6-8%. NiTi thin films are of technological interest as actuator materials in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) because they possess a large deformation...doctoral thesis 2015

Zhang, J. (author)Recently, flexible, wearable and disposable electronics have attracted a lot of attention. Printing enables low-cost fabrication of circuits on flexible substrates. Printed organic and metal oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) have been researched intensively due to the ease of solution-processing. But their carrier mobility and reliability are...doctoral thesis 2015

Agundez Mojarro, R.R. (author), Salfi, J. (author), Rogge, S. (author), Blaauboer, M. (author)We study the effect of disorder in strongly interacting small atomic chains. Using the Kotliar-Ruckenstein slave-boson approach, we diagonalize the Hamiltonian via scattering matrix theory. We numerically solve the Kondo transmission and the slave-boson parameters that allow us to calculate the Kondo temperature. We demonstrate that in the weak...journal article 2015

Jiang, Y. (author), Mikova, G. (author), Kleerebezem, R. (author), Van der Wielen, L.A.M. (author), Cuellar Soares, M.C. (author)This study focused on investigating the feasibility of purifying polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) from mixed culture biomass by alkaline-based chemical treatment. The PHB-containing biomass was enriched on acetate under non-sterile conditions. Alkaline treatment (0.2 M NaOH) together with surfactant SDS (0.2 w/v% SDS) could reach 99% purity, with more...journal article 2015

Effect and behaviour of different substrates in relation to the formation of aerobic granular sludgePronk, M. (author), Abbas, B. (author), Al-zuhairy, S.H.K. (author), Kraan, R. (author), Kleerebezem, R. (author), Van Loosdrecht, M.C.M. (author)When aerobic granular sludge is applied for industrial wastewater treatment, different soluble substrates can be present. For stable granular sludge formation on volatile fatty acids (e.g. acetate), production of storage polymers under anaerobic feeding conditions has been shown to be important. This prevents direct aerobic growth on readily...journal article 2015

(author)In this paper, we provide insights into limitations imposed by current satellite-based strategies to delineate tidal variability in the thermosphere, as well as the ability of a state-of-the-art model to replicate thermospheric tidal determinations. Toward this end, we conducted a year-long thermosphere-ionosphere-mesosphere-electrodynamics...journal article 2015

(author)We present the results of the first TOFLAR (Time Of Flight and LARmor precession) experiment with a Larmor modulation device positioned after the sample. Using a setup based on the configuration of the SNS-NSE spectrometer (Spallation Neutron Source, USA), we did TOFLAR measurements on water at 5 and 20 degree Celsius, analyzed the spectra, and...conference paper 2015

(author)A strong electronic reconstruction resulting in a quenching of the Fe magnetic moments has recently been predicted to be at the origin of the giant magnetocaloric effect displayed by Fe2P-based materials. To verify this scenario, x-ray magnetic circular dichroism experiments have been carried out at the L edges of Mn and Fe for two typical...journal article 2015

(author)The measurement of ongoing ice-mass loss and associated melt water contribution to sea-level change from regions such as West Antarctica is dependent on a combination of remote sensing methods. A key method, the measurement of changes in Earth's gravity via the GRACE satellite mission, requires a potentially large correction to account for the...journal article 2015

Groenesteijn, L. (author)Performing knowledge work often involves prolonged sitting in a limited number of positions with little physical effort. This can lead to discomfort in the neck and shoulder region, and health problems in the back and neck. Subsequently, it can affect job performance adversely. In this PhD project is the influence of different seat design...doctoral thesis 2015
