Tsekmes, I.A. (author), Morshuis, P.H.F. (author), Smit, J.J. (author), Kochetov, R. (author)In this study, epoxy-cubic boron nitride composites are fabricated, and their dielectric response is investigated. They exhibit the same trend as epoxy composites reinforced with other filler types. Thus, at low filler concentrations, they exhibit a lower relative permittivity than neat epoxy. As the fill grade further increases, the relative...journal article 2015

Blom, H.A.P. (author), Sharpanskykh, A. (author)There is broad consensus that situation awareness (SA) plays a key role in agent-based modelling of complex sociotechnical systems. However in the social sciences and human factors literature there are different views on what SA is and how it could be modelled. More specifically, one school of research considers SA as the process of gaining...journal article 2015

Roy, S. (author), Ushakova, K. (author), Van den Berg, Q. (author), Pereira, S.F. (author), Urbach, H.P. (author)A fast noninvasive method based on scattering from a focused radially polarized light to detect and localize subwavelength nanoparticles on a substrate is presented. The technique relies on polarization matching in the far field between scattered and spurious reflected fields. Results show a localization uncertainty of ?10?4?2 is possible for a...journal article 2015

Van Oorschot, R. (author), Perez Garza, H.H. (author), Derks, R.J.S. (author), Staufer, U. (author), Ghatkesar, M.K. (author)We present the development of a microfluidic AFM (atomic force microscope) cantilever-based platform to enable the local dispensing and aspiration of liquid with volumes in the pico-to-femtoliter range. The platform consists of a basic AFM measurement system, microfluidic AFM chip, fluidic interface, automated substrate alignment, external...journal article 2015

(author), Beaumont, H.J.E. (author), Rainey, P.B. (author)Phenotype switching is commonly observed in nature. This prevalence has allowed the elucidation of a number of underlying molecular mechanisms. However, little is known about how phenotypic switches arise and function in their early evolutionary stages. The first opportunity to provide empirical insight was delivered by an experiment in which...journal article 2015

Boot, W. (author), Terwel, K.C. (author), Strang, H. (author)When structural damage occurs and disputes arise, forensic engineers have to search for the causes of this damage to find out who can be held liable for it. Legal systems must provide an adequate, reasonable, effective and complete way to solve these disputes. Each country has its own system with advantages and disadvantages. This paper provides...journal article 2015

Yang, X. (author)High speed X-ray tomography is a promising tool to visualize the time-resolved gas distribution for fluidized beds. The tomography unit at Delft University of Technology is composed of three X-ray tubes and three double-layer detector arrays. The X-ray tubes are places at 120? around the fluidized bed. The detector arrays are placed opposite to...doctoral thesis 2015

Loukas, A. (author)We have recently seen a surge of research focusing on the processing of graph data. The emerging field of signal processing on graphs focuses on the extension of classical discrete signal processing techniques to the graph setting. Arguably, the greatest breakthrough of the field has been the extension of the Fourier transform from time signals...doctoral thesis 2015

Pfeiffer, T.V. (author), Kedia, P. (author), Messing, M.E. (author), Valvo, M. (author), Schmidt-Ott, A. (author)This article introduces a continuous, gas-phase method for depositing thin metallic coatings onto (nano)particles using a type of physical vapor deposition (PVD) at ambient pressure and temperature. An aerosol of core particles is mixed with a metal vapor cloud formed by spark ablation by passing the aerosol through the spark zone using a hollow...journal article 2015

Forzoni, A. (author)This thesis investigates the impact of climatic, tectonic, and sea-level changes (external forcing) on river systems (source-to-sink) and how these changes are recorded in the stratigraphic record. It describes a newly developed numerical tool (PaCMod) to simulate the complex fluvial system sediment flux response to external forcing on a...doctoral thesis 2015

Wang, Y. (author)Traffic becomes more congested due to the growing demand. As a consequence, improving traffic flow by means of traffic control is a key focus in many countries. However, road traffic is one of the most complex systems to control. In this thesis, a distributed solution for traffic prediction and control is proposed to reduce this complexity and...doctoral thesis 2015

Microbial storage compound production for the recovery of lipids from lipid-water emulsions with open (unsterilized) microbial cultures was investigated in a sequencing batch reactor using a diluted vegetable oil...journal article 2015

(author)We have implemented an extended depth of field optical system by wavefront coding with a micromachined membrane deformable mirror. This approach provides a versatile extension to standard wavefront coding based on fixed phase mask. First experimental results validate the feasibility of the use of adaptive optics for variable depth wavefront...conference paper 2015

Boersma, B.J. (author), Pecnik, R. (author), Nemati, H. (author), Peeters, J.W.R. (author)In this paper we discuss the effect of sharp property variations on the turbulent heat transfer in fluids close the critical point. The governing equations for this flow regime are discussed, a short description of the numerical tools that have been developed to study these flows is given. Finally, some results for supercritical heat transfer in...journal article 2015

(author)Background To propel in an energy-efficient manner, handrim wheelchair users must learn to control the bimanually applied forces onto the rims, preserving both speed and direction of locomotion. Previous studies have found an increase in mechanical efficiency due to motor learning associated with changes in propulsion technique, but it is...journal article 2015

Ardic, O. (author), Annema, J.A. (author), van Wee, G.P. (author)The implementation of road pricing policies is dependent on political support for the policy. It is frequently argued that many pricing proposals fail to be implemented due to the opposition of one or a group of policy actors (e.g. political parties, interest groups). This study considers this issue and examines the reasons for non...journal article 2015

De Leeuw, A.W. (author), Onishchenko, O. (author), Duine, R.A. (author), Stoof, H.T.C. (author)We investigate the superfluid–Mott-insulator transition of a two-dimensional photon gas in a dye-filled optical microcavity and in the presence of a periodic potential. We show that in the random-phase approximation the effects of the dye molecules, which generally lead to dissipation in the photonic system, can be captured by two dimensionless...journal article 2015
