Jin, W. (author)Nanoparticles are increasingly applied in a range of fields, such as electronics, catalysis, energy and medicine, due to their small sizes and consequent high surface-volume ratio. In many applications, it is attractive to coat the nanoparticles with a layer of different materials in order to gain new functionalities. For instance, a coated...doctoral thesis 2017

Moreno Rodenas, A. (author), Cecinati, Francesca (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Integrated Catchment Modelling aims to simulate jointly urban drainage systems, wastewater treatment plant and rivers. The effect of rainfall input uncertainties in the modelling of individual urban drainage systems has been discussed in several studies already. However, this influence changes when simultaneously simulating several urban...journal article 2017

Zhang, X. (author)Multiscale computational materials science has reached a stage where many complicated phenomena or properties that are of great importance to manufacturing can be predicted or explained. The word “ab initio study” becomes commonplace as the development of density functional theory has enabled the predictions to be independent of experimental...doctoral thesis 2017

Bork, S. (author)A large number of new products and services, such as electric cars, solar panels, and electric boats are introduced and play an important role during sustainability transitions. However, when introduced, these new products do not fit with established aspects of society such as expectations, habits, and infrastructures, leading to low levels of...doctoral thesis 2017

Zhang, W. (author), Burek, Bastien O. (author), Fernandez Fueyo, E. (author), Alcalde, Miguel (author), Bloh, Jonathan Z. (author), Hollmann, F. (author)Selective oxyfunctionalizations of inert C−H bonds can be achieved under mild conditions by using peroxygenases. This approach, however, suffers from the poor robustness of these enzymes in the presence of hydrogen peroxide as the stoichiometric oxidant. Herein, we demonstrate that inorganic photocatalysts such as gold–titanium dioxide...journal article 2017

Xu, Xiaosi (author), Konijnenberg, A.P. (author), Pereira, S.F. (author), Urbach, Paul (author)Coherent Fourier scatterometry is an optical metrology technique that utilizes the measured intensity of the scattered optical field to reconstruct certain parameters of test structures written on a wafer with nano-scale accuracy. The intensity of the scattered field is recorded with a camera and this information is used to retrieve the...journal article 2017

Gnanasundaram, Nirmala (author), Venugopal, Aswin (author), Katragadda, Y. (author), Ullas, Gokul (author)Circulating fluidized beds (CFB) play a major role in the chemical industry especially as heterogeneous catalytic reactors. Research on hydrodynamic properties of Liquid - Solid CFBs (LSCFB) is significantly under-reported as compared to Gas - Solid CFBs (GSCFB). Steadily, prominent research is being established in fields like food industry ...journal article 2017

(author)We present an 8-beam local oscillator (LO) for the astronomically significant [OI] line at 4.7 THz. The beams are generated using a quantum cascade laser (QCL) in combination with a Fourier phase grating. The grating is fully characterized using a third order distributed feedback (DFB) QCL with a single mode emission at 4.7 THz as the input....journal article 2017

(author), Bauer, P. (author)A scientific consensus is emerging on the benefits of direct current (DC) distribution in medium voltage (MV) power systems of ships and cities. At least 50% space savings and increased power transfer capacity are estimated with enhanced voltage DC operation of electric cables. The goal of this research is to contribute to developing the...journal article 2017

Calvillo Muñoz, C.F. (author)Models and simulators have been widely used in urban contexts for many decades. The drawback of most current models is that they are normally designed for specific objectives, so the elements considered are limited and they do not take into account the potential synergies between related systems. The necessity of a framework to model complex...doctoral thesis 2017

Westin, C.A.L. (author)LIKE many complex and time-critical domains, air traffic control (ATC) is facing a fundamental modernization that builds on the use of more advanced automation (represented by SESAR in Europe and NextGen in the United States). The current function allocation-based relationship between controller and machine is envisioned to evolve to a more...doctoral thesis 2017

van Goeverden, C.D. (author)Vorig jaar verdween de laatste nachttrein (in de zin van overnachtingstrein) uit Nederland. Het verdwijnen hiervan is een soort sluitstuk van een lange periode van afkalving van het aanbod van nacht- en andere langeafstandstreinen in West-Europa. Vertrokken 50 jaar geleden dagelijks nog 11 reguliere nachttreinen in Nederland, 30 jaar later was...conference paper 2017

van Goeverden, C.D. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author)In Nederland is bij veel grotere treinstations een tekort aan stallingscapaciteit voor fietsen. Dit is het gevolg van zowel een stevige groei in het treingebruik als een toename van het marktaandeel van de fiets in de voor- en natransportmiddelen. In de paper worden de mogelijkheden verkend om het capaciteitstekort te verkleinen door een vorm...conference paper 2017

Brinksma, H. (author)Homes are renovated a number of times during their lifespan. Although we can regard each of these renovations as new, it is more prudent to implement a future-proof solution to renovation. <br/><br/>The purpose of this study is to gain an insight into how future-proof renovation solutions are for homes built between 1975 and 1991 that are...doctoral thesis 2017

Post, W. (author)Over the past decade, many different strategies were developed to introduce selfhealing properties in structural polymer composite materials. Although many of the investigated routes show promising results on an academic scale, the first commercially feasible self-healing structural polymer composite has yet to be developed. The main objective...doctoral thesis 2017

Wang, Haoyu (author), Silvast, Mika (author), Markine, V.L. (author), Wiljanen, Bruce (author)Transition zones in railway tracks are the locations with considerable changes in vertical support structures, e.g., near bridges. Due to possible water flow constrictions in transition zone structures, there is frequently an increased moisture level in the ballast/subballast layers, which is a potential source of track degradation. This paper...journal article 2017
