Steinmann, Patrick (author), Wigman, S.B.J. (author)Between 2013 and 2015, over one million migrants entered Europe. Many European countries were unprepared for and overwhelmed by the rapidly unfolding, chaotic situation. To better handle future migration waves, and allow quicker exploration of government policy effects and interactions, a geospatial-based system dynamics model of migration flows...conference paper 2018

Qian, Z. (author), Miedema, H. (author), de Smet, L.C.P.M. (author), Sudhölter, Ernst J. R. (author)A model is presented for the Na<sup>+</sup> and K<sup>+</sup> levels in the irrigation water of greenhouses, specifically those for the cultivation of tomato. The model, essentially based on mass balances, not only describes the accumulation of Na<sup>+</sup> but includes a membrane unit for the selective removal of Na<sup>+</sup> as well. As...journal article 2018

van Goeverden, C.D. (author), Milakis, D. (author), Janic, M. (author), Konings, J.W. (author)Introduction: Hyperloop (HL) is presented as an efficient alternative of HSR (High Speed Rail) and APT (Air Passenger Transport) systems for long-distance passenger transport. This paper explores the performances of HL and compares these performances to HSR and APT. Methods: The following performances of the HL system are analytically modeled...journal article 2018

Huang, X. (author)The technique called "flameless combustion", also denoted as "MILD" combustion, was developed to reduce the nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission in the combustion process. The term "flameless" refers to the low visibility of the flame. The technique is particularly of interest when hot exhaust gas is used to preheat inlet air to high temperature. The...doctoral thesis 2018

Shakeel, A. (author), Farooq, Ujala (author), Iqbal, Tanveer (author), Yasin, Saima (author), Lupi, Francesca R. (author), Gabriele, Domenico (author)Bigels are interesting semisolid formulations with better properties for different applications such as cosmetics and pharmaceutical systems. Due to the mixing of two phases of different nature (polar and apolar), bigels possess some interesting features like ability to deliver hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs, better spreadability and water...review 2019

Valle Torre, M. (author), Ye, Mengmeng (author), Lofi, C. (author)Effectively modelling and querying experience items like movies, books, or games in databases is challenging because these items are better described by their resulting user experience or perceived properties than by factual attributes. However, such information is often subjective, disputed, or unclear. Thus, social judgments like comments,...conference paper 2019

van Breugel, K. (author)The world’s infrastructure is vital for providing accommodation and mobility for people. Although it is obvious that the construction industry has been crucial for realizing building and civil infrastructures, it is also clear that building activities have a big impact on the environment. Still growing and developing societies and economies...journal article 2019

Peeters, J.W.R. (author), Rohde, M. (author)A new friction-heat transfer analogy for the prediction of heat transfer to turbulent fluids at supercritical pressure is presented. This analogy is based on the observation that the predominent events that determine the turbulent heat flux known as hot ejections and cold sweeps have different thermophysical properties. This observation is...journal article 2019

Bahrami, Abbas (author), Yazdan Mehr, M. (author)Isothermal ageing of Al–Mg–Si alloys, stored at room temperature for more than 5 months, is associated with an unexpected significant increase in the overall electrical resistivity. This unexpected anomalous increase is not observed in alloys with shorter storage (natural ageing) times. This phenomenon is explained with a scenario, based on...journal article 2019

Huisman, B.J.A. (author), Walstra, Dirk Jan R. (author), Radermacher, Max (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), Ruessink, B. Gerben (author)Shoreface nourishments are commonly applied for coastal maintenance, but their behaviour is not well understood. Bathymetric data of 19 shoreface nourishments located at alongshore uniform sections of the Dutch coast were therefore analyzed and used to validate an efficient method for predicting the erosion of shoreface nourishments. Data shows...journal article 2019

(author)Multiphasic fermentations where an organic phase is spontaneously formed or when it is added for product removal are commonly used for production of valuable compounds. The turbulent conditions and the presence of surface-active compounds (SACs) during fermentation create a stable emulsion difficult to separate. A gas bubble/oil droplet...journal article 2019

Theocharis, A. (author), Popov, M. (author)In this paper, a piece-wise linearized transformer winding model is proposed for transient internal voltage distribution computations. In particular, the model is based on the linearization of the primitive non-linear, frequency dependent and invariant matrix of voltage distribution factors. This primitive matrix is utilized as a pattern from...conference paper 2019

Mueller, Michiel (author), Wiegmans, B. (author), van Duin, Ron (author)European container ports compete in partially overlapping hinterland areas. The objective of this study is to model port choice and obtain insight into port choice decisions for European container imports from Asia. The importance of port choice factors and their impact on port market shares in the hinterland were investigated. Furthermore,...journal article 2020

We systematically characterise risks associated with decarbonisation pathways in fifteen case studies conducted in twelve countries around the world. We find that stakeholders from business, government, NGOs, and others...journal article 2020
