Jelínek, F. (author)Contemporary medical imaging technologies, such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, play a pivotal role in medical diagnosis, allowing for a relatively fast and non-invasive examination of the human body. In the field of cancer surgery they allow for preoperative detection of tumorous tissue and aid the surgical planning....doctoral thesis 2015

Van de Bovenkamp, R. (author)Local interactions on a graph will lead to global dynamic behaviour. In this thesis we focus on two types of dynamic processes on graphs: the Susceptible-Infected-Susceptilbe (SIS) virus spreading model, and gossip style epidemic algorithms. The largest part of this thesis is devoted to the SIS model. We first introduce the SIS model in chapter...doctoral thesis 2015

Miller, A. (author), Jonkman, S.N. (author), Van Ledden, M. (author)Since the catastrophic flooding of New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina in 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 flood risk analysis the probabilities and...journal article 2015

Donovan, D.P. (author), Klein Baltink, H. (author), Henzing, J.S. (author), De Roode, S.R. (author), Siebesma, A.P. (author)The fact that polarisation lidars measure a depolarisation signal in liquid clouds due to the occurrence of multiple scattering is well known. The degree of measured depolarisation depends on the lidar characteristics (e.g. wavelength and receiver field of view) as well as the cloud macrophysical (e.g. cloud-base altitude) and microphysical (e.g...journal article 2015

Perez Garza, H.H. (author)Properties of matter at the nano-scale may be very different from the ones observed at the macro-scale. The continuous variation of characteristics with diminishing size results in relevant changes in behavior. Similarly, these changes are caused by the rise of completely new phenomena (i.e. quantum confinement). Nanoscience can offer an...doctoral thesis 2015

Farah, H. (author), Shani, M. (author)Road crashes are considered as one of the main threats to human life around the world. Children pedestrians are most at risk to be seriously injured in road crashes, in particular, those from economically disadvantaged communities. Various factors contribute to their high involvement in road crashes. Some of these factors are related to the...conference paper 2015

Liu, X. (author), Tzimiris, G. (author), Li, J. (author), Scarpas, T. (author), Hofman, R. (author), Voskuilen, J. (author)In order to adequately characterize the fatigue response of the various membranes with surrounding multilayer surfacing layers on orthotropic steel decks and collect the necessary parameters for FE modeling, the details of the cyclic Membrane Adhesion Tester (MAT) are introduced. The fatigue damage in membrane interface is related to the amount...conference paper 2015

Wang, M. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Van Arem, B. (author)The vision of intelligent vehicles traveling in road networks has prompted numerous concepts to control future traffic flow, one of which is the in-vehicle actuation of traffic control signals. The key of this concept is using intelligent vehicles as actuators for traffic control systems, replacing the traditional road-side systems. Under this...conference paper 2015

Cats, O. (author), Zhang, C. (author), Nissan, A. (author)Parking pricing policies can be used as a policy instrument to steer the parking market and reduce the externalities caused by traffic in general and parking in particular. A more efficient management of parking demand can improve the utilization of the limited parking capacity at high-demand areas. Even though parking policies are often a topic...conference paper 2015

(author)In this paper, the use of advanced traffic data is discussed to contribute to the ongoing debate about their applications in dynamic origin-destination (OD) estimation. This is done by discussing the advantages and disadvantages of traffic data with support of the findings of a benchmark study. The benchmark framework is designed to assess the...conference paper 2015

Van Neerven, J.M.A.M. (author), Veraar, M.C. (author), Weis, L. (author)In this paper, we prove maximal regularity estimates in “square function spaces” which are commonly used in harmonic analysis, spectral theory, and stochastic analysis. In particular, they lead to a new class of maximal regularity results for both deterministic and stochastic equations in L p -spaces with 1<p<?. For stochastic equations, the...journal article 2015

Van Oort, N. (author), Van der Bijl, R. (author), Roeske, R. (author)Light rail has been successfully implemented in many urban regions worldwide. Although light rail has been a proven transport concept in many cities, there is much debate on the (societal) cost-benefit ratio of these systems. In addition to the success stories, several light rail projects were not that successful or even failed. In recent years,...conference paper 2015
