Kunze, Cindy (author), Bommer, Martin (author), Hagen, W.R. (author), Uksa, Marie (author), Dobbek, Holger (author), Schubert, Torsten (author), Diekert, Gabriele (author)The capacity of metal-containing porphyrinoids to mediate reductive dehalogenation is implemented in cobamide-containing reductive dehalogenases (RDases), which serve as terminal reductases in organohalide-respiring microbes. RDases allow for the exploitation of halogenated compounds as electron acceptors. Their reaction mechanism is under...journal article 2017

Curry, T.M. (author)While the consideration of functional and technical criteria, as well as a sense of coherence are basic requirements for solving a design problem; it is the ability to induce an intended quality of aesthetic experience that is the hallmark of design expertise. Expert designers possess a highly developed sense of design, or what in this research...doctoral thesis 2017

Willems, C.J.L. (author), Nick, H.M. (author), Goense, Twan (author), Bruhn, D.F. (author)This paper evaluates the impact of reduction of doublet well spacing, below the current West Netherlands Basin standard of 1000 to 1500 m, on the Net Present Value (NPV) and the life time of fluvial Hot Sedimentary Aquifer (HSA) doublets. First, a sensitivity analysis is used to show the possible advantage of such reduction on the NPV. The...journal article 2017

Zhu, Jianing (author), Luo, Haiwen (author), Yang, Zhigang (author), Zhang, Chi (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author), Chen, H. (author)Kinetics of the austenite (γ) to ferrite (α) transformation and the reverse ferrite (α) to austenite (γ) transformation in a series of Fe-X (X = Ni, Mn and Co) binary alloys has been experimentally and theoretically investigated. A transition from partitioning to partitionless transformation has been predicted to occur during both the γ→α and...journal article 2017

Pandey, Mahesh D. (author), van der Weide, J.A.M. (author)In the life-cycle cost analysis of a structure, the total cost of damage caused by external hazards like earthquakes, wind storms and flood is an important but highly uncertain component. In the literature, the expected damage cost is typically analyzed under the assumption of either the homogeneous Poisson process or the renewal process in...journal article 2017

Ponomarenko, A. V. (author), Kashtan, B. M. (author), Troyan, V. N. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author)Surface waves are often used to estimate a near-surface shear-velocity profile. The inverse problem is solved for the locally one-dimensional problem of a set of homogeneous horizontal elastic layers. The result is a set of shear velocities, one for each layer. To obtain a P-wave velocity profile, the P-guided waves should be included in the...journal article 2017

Hoitink, A.J.F. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Vermeulen, B. (author), Huismans, Y (author), Kästner, K (author)River delta degradation has been caused by extraction of natural resources, sediment retention by reservoirs, and sea-level rise. Despite global concerns about these issues, human activity in the world’s largest deltas intensifies. Harbour development, construction of flood defences, sand mining and land reclamation emerge as key contemporary...journal article 2017

(author), Brdjanovic, Damir (author)Thiothrix caldifontis was the dominant microorganism (with an estimated bio-volume of 65 ± 3%) in a lab-scale enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) system containing 100 mg of sulphide per litre in the influent. After a gradual exposure to the presence of sulphide, the EBPR system initially dominated by Candidatus Accumulibacter...journal article 2017

Mostert, E. (author)The Dutch water boards perform essential tasks for the Netherlands and generally effectively, yet they have often been called old-fashioned, ineffective and expensive. This paper describes and analyses the discussions on the water boards since 1953 in order to increase insight in the factors that influence institutional change in water...journal article 2017

de Vos, D.W. (author), Meijers, E.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)It is generally found that workers are more inclined to accept a job that is located farther away from home if they have the ability to work from home one day a week or more (telecommuting). Such findings inform us about the effectiveness of telecommuting policies that try to alleviate congestion and transport related emissions, but they also...working paper 2017

Siraj, M.M. (author), van den Hof, P.M.J. (author), Jansen, J.D. (author)Model-based dynamic optimization of the water-flooding process in oil reservoirs is a computationally complex problem and suffers from high levels of uncertainty. A traditional way of quantifying uncertainty in robust water-flooding optimization is by considering an ensemble of uncertain model realizations. These models are generally not...conference paper 2017

Zhang, Yihuan (author), Lin, Q. (author), Wang, Jun (author), Verwer, S.E. (author)Learning driving behavior is fundamental for autonomous vehicles to “understand” traffic situations. This paper proposes a novel method for learning a behavioral model of car-following using automata learning algorithms. The model is interpretable for car-following behavior analysis. Frequent common state sequences are extracted from the model...conference paper 2017

Terra, W. (author), Sciacchitano, A. (author), Scarano, F. (author)A method is introduced to measure the aerodynamic drag of moving objects such as ground vehicles or athletes in speed sports. Experiments are conducted as proof-of-concept that yield the aerodynamic drag of a sphere towed through a square duct in stagnant air. The drag force is evaluated using large-scale tomographic PIV and invoking the time...journal article 2017
