Yao, T. (author), Gasparini, A. (author), Denkova, A.G. (author), Warman, J.M. (author)The radiation-induced polymerization and fluorescence intensity of a radio-fluorogenic medium consisting of tertiary-butyl acrylate (TBA) with ca 100 ppm maleimido-pyrene (MPy) display a super-linear dependence on dose and a close to inverse square root dependence on dose rate over the range from 2 to 30 Gy/min. In contrast with the fluorescence...journal article 2015

Wiktor, V.A.C. (author), Jonkers, H.M. (author)This paper presents the field performance in a parking garage of the recently developed bacteria-based repair system for concrete. This liquid-based repair system aims at the sealing of cracks and decrease of the porosity due to the production of a calcium-based biomineral. The system combines advantages of both a traditional repair system for...journal article 2015

Naworyta, W. (author), Sypniowski, S. (author), Benndorf, J. (author)The aim of coal quality control in coal mines is to supply power plants daily with extracted raw material within certain coal quality constraints. On the example of a selected part of a lignite deposit, the problem of quality control for the runof-mine lignite stream is discussed. The main goal is to understand potential fluctuations and...journal article 2015

Hein, C.M. (author)This article explores how sub-national institutions – representations from cities and regions – help create a European imaginary in Brussels. Political scientists and other scholars have noted the importance of these city and regional institutions, but have paid little attention to their physical form. Through a select set of case studies, this...journal article 2015

Forbes, P.A. (author), Siegmund, G.P. (author), Schouten, A.C. (author), Blouin, J.S. (author)The vestibular system is crucial for postural control; however there are considerable differences in the task dependence and frequency response of vestibular reflexes in appendicular and axial muscles. For example, vestibular reflexes are only evoked in appendicular muscles when vestibular information is relevant to postural control, while in...journal article 2015

Roos, C. (author)We present an improved version of an infeasible interior-point method for linear optimization published in 2006. In the earlier version each iteration consisted of one so-called feasibility step and a few---at most three---centering steps. In this paper each iteration consists of only a feasibility step, whereas the iteration bound improves the...journal article 2015

Martins da Conceição, A. (author)The spaces of station areas do not fully achieve the liveability level sought out by recent redevelopment projects. Additionally, the role that architecture plays in their spatial definition seems to be constrained, likely because of the projects’ highly complex interdisciplinary planning processes. Thus, the need to improve the spatial...doctoral thesis 2015

Kamra, A. (author)In this Thesis, I address the interaction of magnetic degrees of freedom with charge current and elastic dynamics in hybrid systems composed of magnetic and non-magnetic materials. The objective, invariably, is to control and study spin dynamics using charge and elastic degrees of freedom. In certain cases, an understanding of this coupling can...doctoral thesis 2015

(author)The level of the Caspian Sea is influenced by rivers mostly from the high latitudes of the Northern hemisphere and therefore any change of its catchments including temperature and precipitation directly reflects on Caspian Sea-level. We reconstructed Late Pleistocene to Holocene Caspian Sea-level by a multi-disciplinary approach from a 27.7 m...journal article 2015

(author)We present the draft genome of anammox bacterium “Candidatus Scalindua brodae,” which at 282 contigs is a major improvement over the highly fragmented genome assembly of related species “Ca. Scalindua profunda” (1,580 contigs) which was previously published.journal article 2015

Festa, D. (author)The thesis investigates the mechanical equilibrium of a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) driving in soft soil. The interaction between the TBM-shield and the soil is also investigated. The analysis is based on monitoring data gathered during the construction of the Hubertus tunnel in The Hague, Netherlands. The monitoring activities during tunnel...doctoral thesis 2015

Bollinger, L.A. (author)Heat waves, hurricanes, floods and windstorms - recent years have seen dramatic failures in electricity infrastructures sparked by short-term departures of environmental conditions from their norms. Driven by a changing climate, such deviations are anticipated to increase in severity and/or frequency over the coming decades. This will have...doctoral thesis 2015

Fovet, O. (author), Ruiz, L. (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author), Faucheux, M. (author), Gascuel-Odoux, C. (author)While most hydrological models reproduce the general flow dynamics, they frequently fail to adequately mimic system-internal processes. In particular, the relationship between storage and discharge, which often follows annual hysteretic patterns in shallow hard-rock aquifers, is rarely considered in modelling studies. One main reason is that...journal article 2015

Root, B.C. (author), Van der Wal, W. (author), Novak, P. (author), Ebbing, J. (author), Vermeersen, L.L.A. (author)In the central part of Fennoscandia, the crust is currently rising, because of the delayed response of the viscous mantle to melting of the Late Pleistocene ice sheet. This process, called Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA), causes a negative anomaly in the present-day static gravity field as isostatic equilibrium has not been reached yet....journal article 2015

Romano, D. (author)Analyzing the Change-Proneness of APIs and web APIs APIs and web APIs are used to expose existing business logic and, hence, to ease the reuse of functionalities across multiple software systems. Software systems can use the business logic of legacy systems by binding their APIs and web APIs. With the emergence of a new programming paradigm...doctoral thesis 2015

Budiarto, E. (author)Radiotherapy is one of the methods used to treat cancer. One common approach for radiotherapy is exposing the patient to external beams of high-energy X-ray photons. Using the intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technique, the fluence (radiation energy per unit area) of the radiation beams can be modulated to optimally shape the 3D high...doctoral thesis 2015
