de Vries, W. (author)Effective recycling of municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ashes (MSWI-BA) and construction and demolition wastes (CDW) has proven to be a challenge, despite the high potential for recovering valuable metals in MSWI-BA and reducing the carbon footprint of the construction industry. The fundamental problem is caused by the combined presence...doctoral thesis 2017

Gong, J. (author)A large number of oil and gas reservoirs across the world are naturally <br/>fractured, f r om which a significant amount of hydrocarbons are produced. <br/>Naturally fractured reservoirs, like all reservoirs, are exploited in t w o stages: <br/>primary recovery and secondary recovery (sometimes followed by tertiary <br/>recovery, i.e. enhanced...doctoral thesis 2017

Silva, Joao Paulo (author), de Wagter, C. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)This paper proposes a trajectory planning and control strategy to optimally visit a given set of waypoints in the presence of wind. First, aerodynamic properties of quadrotors which affect trajectory planning and tracking performance are investigated. Blade flapping, induced and parasitic drag are derived and an extended method to identify all...journal article 2017

Yu, H. (author), Xu, W. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author)The degradation of creep resistance in Ni-based single-crystal superalloys is essentially ascribed to their microstructural evolution. Yet there is a lack of work that manages to predict (even qualitatively) the effect of alloying element concentrations on the rate of microstructural degradation. In this research, a computational model is...journal article 2017

Shang, H. (author)The observation of surface water bodies in all weather conditions and better knowledge about inundation patterns are important for water resource management and flood early warning. Microwave radiometers at 37 GHz were applied to observe and study the inundation pattern in large subtropical floodplains in China, i.e. the Poyang Lake and Dongting...doctoral thesis 2017

Oud, G.T. (author)This research entails the numerical simulation of physical flow instabilities that can occur in two-phase pipe flows with a new efficient algorithm. The fluids are assumed to be immiscible, and the flow is incompressible and isothermal in a straight circular pipe section with a certain inclination. The numerical algorithm that was developed...doctoral thesis 2017

(author), Wilhelm, H (author), Pappas, C. (author)Magnetic skyrmions are nanosized topologically protected spin textures with particlelike properties. They can form lattices perpendicular to the magnetic field, and the orientation of these skyrmion lattices with respect to the crystallographic lattice is governed by spin-orbit coupling. By performing small-angle neutron scattering measurements,...journal article 2017

Gu, Wei (author), Yu, Jie (author), Ji, Yuxiong (author), van der Gun, J.P.T. (author), Pel, A.J. (author), Zhang, H. Michael (author), van Arem, B. (author)Metro disruptions due to unexpected events reduce transit system reliability, resulting in significant productivity loss and long passenger delays. Bus bridging strategy is often used to connect stations affected by metro disruptions such that passengers could continue their journey. The literature usually designed bridging routes and then...conference paper 2017

Dupuits, E.J.C. (author), Diermanse, Ferdinand Lennaert Machiel (author), Kok, M. (author)Flood defence systems can be seen as multiple interdependent flood defences. This paper advances an approach for finding an optimal configuration for flood defence systems based on an economic cost-benefit analysis with an arbitrary number of interdependent flood defences. The proposed approach is based on a graph algorithm and is, thanks to...journal article 2017

Ahmadi, D. (author)In the past decades, diversity has become a popular catchphrase in theoretical, policy and public discourses in Canadian cities.<br/><br/>This study seeks to add to our understanding of urban diversity, as perceived and experienced by those who inhabit, frequent and govern urban areas. The study further makes use of a variety of qualitative and...doctoral thesis 2017

Bhulai, Sandjai (author), Li, P (author), van Essen, J.T. (author)Taxis are an essential component of the transportation system in most urban centers. The ability to optimize the efficiency of routing represents an opportunity to increase revenues for taxi drivers. The vacant taxis cruising on the roads are not only wasting fuel consumption, the time of a taxi driver, and create unnecessary carbon emissions...conference paper 2017

(author)We report the development of an intrinsic healing glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite based on a disulphide-containing organic-inorganic thermoset matrix. Thermomechanical experiments showed that the newly developed matrix has a combination of a Young's modulus value in the range of (800–1200 MPa), the ability to multiple...journal article 2017

Cazaux, S.M. (author), Martín-Doménech, R. (author), Chen, Y. J. (author), Caro, G. M.Muñoz (author), Díaz, C. González (author)In regions where stars form, variations in density and temperature can cause gas to freeze out onto dust grains forming ice mantles, which influences the chemical composition of a cloud. The aim of this paper is to understand in detail the depletion (and desorption) of CO on (from) interstellar dust grains. Experimental simulations were...journal article 2017

Konijnenberg, A.P. (author)An overview of several ptychographic phase retrieval methods and the theory behind them is presented. By looking into the theory behind more basic single-intensity pattern phase retrieval methods, a theoretical framework is provided for analyzing ptychographic algorithms. Extensions of ptychographic algorithms that deal with issues such as...journal article 2017

Chen, Zhipei (author), Koleva, D.A. (author), van Breugel, K. (author)Metallic corrosion can cause substantial damage at various levels and in almost all types of infrastructure. For metallic corrosion to occur, a certain external environment and the presence of corrodents are the prerequisites. Stray current-induced corrosion, however, is a rather underestimated issue in the field of corrosion and civil...journal article 2017

Intriguingly, organelles avoid clashing and entangling with each other in such limited space. Mitochondria form extensive networks constantly remodeled by fission and fusion. Here, we show that mitochondrial...journal article 2017
