Zhang, L. (author)Object tracking is an important component in computer vision, which is the field that aims to replicate the abilities of human vision by automatically analyzing and understanding the content of digital images or videos. Tracking has applications in a wide range of domains. For instance, tracking techniques may be used in systems that remove...doctoral thesis 2015

Dövencioglu, D.N. (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), Ben-Sharar, O. (author), Doerschner, K. (author)In dynamic scenes, relative motion between the object, the observer, and/or the environment projects as dynamic visual information onto the retina (optic flow) that facilitates 3D shape perception. When the object is diffusely reflective, e.g. a matte painted surface, this optic flow is directly linked to object shape, a property found at the...journal article 2015

Oorschot, L.M. (author)Normaal gesproken somt men bij smart cities de nieuwste gadgets op. Verbeeldt Siemens haar utopie en promoot men het smart grid als de grote oplossing. Echter, tijdens het ‘Actueel Den Haag Debat’ (ADHD) kwam een interessante tegenstelling bovendrijven. Die leidde tot wat ik maar de Wet van Hajer noem: smart city + lokale politieke keuzes =...report 2015

Latsuzbaia, R. (author), Negro, E. (author), Koper, G.J.M. (author)The design of a synthesis strategy for metal nanoparticles by templating dense microemulsions is proposed. Particle size is controlled by surfactant size rather than by microemulsion composition. The strategy was demonstrated with various systems with different surfactant: cationic, anionic and non-ionic and of different sizes. Formulations were...journal article 2015

Musterd, M. (author), Van Steijn, V. (author), Kleijn, C.R. (author), Kreutzer, M.T. (author)We present a theoretical model to calculate the volume of non-wetting bubbles and droplets in segmented microflows from given dimensions of the microchannel and measured lengths of bubbles and droplets. Despite the importance of these volumes in interpreting experiments on reaction kinetics and transport phenomena, an accurate model like the one...journal article 2015

Mohajeri, M. (author)Hot mix asphalt recycling has become common practice all over the world since the 1970s because of the crisis in oil prices. In the Netherlands, hot recycling has advanced to such an extent that in most of the mixtures more than 50% of reclaimed asphalt (RA) is allowed. These mixtures with such a high RA content are produced in a batch plant to...doctoral thesis 2015

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

(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)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
