Obinna, U.P. (author)The transition of the electricity system to smart grids would require from residential endusers to adapt to a new role of co-provider or active participants in the electricity system. End-users would for instance use energy efficiently, generate renewable energy locally, plan or shift energy consumption to most favourable times (such as when...doctoral thesis 2017

Singor, S.N. (author)In times of market turmoil volatility increases and stock values and interest rates decrease, so that the risks in the balance sheets of insurance companies increase. An important part of these risks is due to the guarantees that are embedded in insurance policies. Life insurers sell products like unit-linked, profit sharing and variable annuity...doctoral thesis 2017

Eid, C. (author)The European policy focus on smart grids implies their development as an indispensable part of the future power system. However, the definition of a smart grid is broad and vague, and the actual implementation of a smart grid can differ significantly depending on the stakeholders involved. Smart electricity grids can be defined as electricity...doctoral thesis 2017

Madzarevic, Z. (author)Efficient and cost-effective technologies that will enable separation and capture of CO2 are needed. The development of high-performance all-aromatic poly(ether)imide (P(E)I) membranes is attractive as they offer a large degree of design freedom and they are cheap to operate. However, the molecular design rules towards P(E)I membranes that...doctoral thesis 2017

Frederikse, T. (author), Riva, R.E.M. (author), King, A. Matt (author)Present-day mass redistribution increases the total ocean mass and, on average, causes the ocean bottom to subside elastically. Therefore, barystatic sea level rise is larger than the resulting global mean geocentric sea level rise, observed by satellite altimetry and GPS-corrected tide gauges. We use realistic estimates of mass...journal article 2017

Fernandez de la Fuente, J. (author)The global energy challenges along with global warming are regarded as the most important issues faced by humankind in the 21st century. A fossil fuels-based energy economy cannot support the rapidly increasing world energy demand in a sustainable manner. Hence, the development and implementation of alternative solutions to the use of fossil...doctoral thesis 2017

de Angelis, L. (author), Alpeggiani, F. (author), Di Falco, Andrea (author), Kuipers, L. (author)Phase singularities are locations where light is twisted like a corkscrew, with positive or negative topological charge depending on the twisting direction. Among the multitude of singularities arising in random wave fields, some can be found at the same location, but only when they exhibit opposite topological charge, which results in their...journal article 2017

(author), Champagne, Benoît (author), Stock, Norbert (author), van der Veen, M.A. (author)p-Nitroaniline presents the typical motif of a second-order nonlinear optically (NLO) active molecule. However, because of its crystallization in an antiparallel and hence centrosymmetric structure, the NLO activity is lost. In this contribution, the p-nitroaniline motif was built successfully into the MIL-53 metal-organic framework. More...journal article 2017

Yang, J. (author)Crowd knowledge creation plays a central role in many types of Web based information systems, ranging from community question-answering (CQA) systems (e.g. StackOverflow and Quora) to micro-task crowdsourcing systems (e.g. Amazon mTurk and CrowdFlower). In these systems, knowledge demands are generally fulfilled by means of tasks (e.g. questions...doctoral thesis 2017

Peeters, P.M. (author)In 2015, the global community came together in Paris and agreed on a CO2 emissions pathway to avoid a temperature anomaly of more than 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. A significant source of CO2 emissions, the main greenhouse gas causing climate change, is the tourism sector. From research published by the UNWTO (World Tourism Organisation) in...doctoral thesis 2017

Kulshreshtha, Y. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Jonkers, H.M. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), van Paassen, L.A. (author)Starch is a natural polymer which is commonly used as a cooking ingredient. The renewability and bio-degradability of starch has made it an interesting material for industrial applications, such as production of bioplastic. This paper introduces the application of corn starch in the production of a novel construction material, named CoRncrete...journal article 2017

Collinson, LM (author), Carroll, E.C.M. (author), Hoogenboom, J.P. (author)Whilst a ‘resolution revolution’ has taken place at the macromolecular scale in both electron microscopy and light microscopy, a ‘volume revolution’ has taken place at the tissue and organism level in both imaging modalities. At both ends of the scale – resolution and volume – there are concerted efforts to link the information from light and...journal article 2017

Platzek, F.W. (author)A river engineer is challenged with the task of setting up an appropriate model for a certain application. The model needs to provide suitable answers to the questions asked (i.e. be effective) and needs to do this within the available time (i.e. be efficient). To set up such a model with sufficient accuracy and certainty, a modeller needs to...doctoral thesis 2017
