Koycu, U. (author), De Vries, M.J. (author)n the Netherlands, as well as in many other countries, there is an increasing interest in implementing education about engineering as a part of general education at the upper secondary school level. In order to know what pupils at that level think about engineering, a study has been done to investigate their attitude towards and their concept of...journal article 2015

Goverde, R.M.P. (author), Scheepmaker, G.M. (author)Energy-efficient train operation is not yet included in the timetable design process in the Netherlands. Hence, running time supplements are not optimally distributed in the timetable. Therefore research has been conducted on the possibilities to better incorporate energy-efficient train operation into the railway timetable. This paper describes...conference paper 2015

Van Ormondt, D. (author), De Beer, R. (author), Van der Veen, J.W.C. (author), Sima, D.M. (author), Graveron-Demilly, D. (author)MRI-scanners enable non-invasive, in vivo quantitation of metabolites in, e.g., the brain of a patient. Among other things, this requires adequate estimation of the unknown temporal decay function of the complex-valued signal emanating from the metabolites. We propose a method to render a current decay estimator more simple, accurate, and robust...conference paper 2015

Teixeira de Freitas, S. (author), Sinke, J. (author)This paper introduces a new type of peel tests dedicated to composite bonding: Composite Peel Tests. This test is inspired on the standard floating roller peel test widely used for metal bonding. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential of the Composite Peel Test to assess interface adhesion in composite bonded structures. To this...journal article 2015

Cao, Y. (author), Yan, P. (author), Huebl, H. (author), Goennenwein, S.T.B. (author), Bauer, G.E.W. (author)We formulate a scattering theory to study magnetic films in microwave cavities beyond the independent-spin and rotating-wave approximations of the Tavis-Cummings model. We demonstrate that strong coupling can be realized not only for the ferromagnetic resonance mode, but also for spin-wave resonances; the coupling strengths are mode dependent...journal article 2015

Dukalski, M. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author)We study a system of two bosonic fields subject to two-mode squeezing in the presence of dissipation. We find the Lie algebra governing the dynamics of the problem and use the Wei-Norman method to determine the solutions. Using this scheme, we arrive at a closed-form expression for an infinitely dimensional density operator which we use to...journal article 2015
