van der Wal, W. (author), Ijpelaar, Thijs (author)Models for glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) routinely include the effects of meltwater redistribution and changes in topography and coastlines. Since the sediment transport related to the dynamics of ice sheets may be comparable to that of sea level rise in terms of surface pressure, the loading effect of sediment deposition could cause...journal article 2017

van der Stam, W. (author), Gudjónsdóttir, S. (author), Evers, W.H. (author), Houtepen, A.J. (author)Control over the doping density in copper sulfide nanocrystals is of great importance and determines its use in optoelectronic applications such as NIR optical switches and photovoltaic devices. Here, we demonstrate that we can reversibly control the hole carrier density (varying from >10<sup>22</sup> cm<sup>-3</sup> to intrinsic) in...journal article 2017

Multifunctional flood defenses protect areas against flooding, but<br/>serve other functions as well. Although these types of defenses<br/>can be seen almost everywhere, they pose special technical and<br/>governance challenges.<br/><br/>This book is about a unique interdisciplinary research program<br/>developed to tackle some of the issues...book 2017

Roos, C. (author)We deal with a recently proposed method of Chubanov [A polynomial projection algorithm for linear feasibility problems. Math. Program. 153 (2015), pp. 687–713] for solving linear homogeneous systems with positive variables. Some improvements of Chubanov's method and its analysis are presented. We propose a new and simple cut criterion and...journal article 2017

van der Sman, E.S. (author), Smeur, E.J.J. (author), Remes, B.D.W. (author), de Wagter, C. (author), Chu, Q. P. (author)Maintaining stable flight during high turbulence intensities is challenging for fixed-wing micro air vehicles (MAV). Two methods are proposed <br/>to improve the disturbance rejection performance of the MAV: incremental nonlinear dynamic inversion (INDI) control and phaseadvanced pitch probes. INDI uses the angular acceleration measurements to...conference paper 2017

Smeur, E.J.J. (author), Höppener, D.C. (author), de Wagter, C. (author)This paper deals with the problem of actuator saturation for INDI (Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion) controlled flying vehicles. The primary problem that arises from actuator saturation for quadrotors, is that of arbitrary control objective realization. We have integrated the weighted least squares control allocation algorithm into INDI,...conference paper 2017

Bruell, G. (author), Ehrnström, Mats (author), Geyer, A. (author), Pei, Long (author)We show that for a large class of evolutionary nonlinear and nonlocal partial differential equations, symmetry of solutions implies very restrictive properties of the solutions and symmetry axes. These restrictions are formulated in terms of three principles, based on the structure of the equations. The first principle covers equations that...journal article 2017

Leijten, M. (author)Complex underground infrastructure construction projects tend to develop in a state of “bounded manageability”. Various types of uncertainties are inherent to these projects and put the project manager in front of serious challenges, risking budget overruns, delays and sometimes even technical failure. Managing such a project is a matter of...doctoral thesis 2017

Radaelli, G. (author)In this dissertation a collection of concepts to synthesise nonlinear springs is presented. Such springs can be useful in various application domains where, e.g., multi-stability or static balancing is desired. These behaviors are often sought to alleviate the effort required for actuation. The explored concepts are presented by showing the...doctoral thesis 2017

van den Kieboom, K.T.H. (author), Elham, A. (author)A method is presented for concurrent aerostructural optimization of wing planform, airfoil and high lift devices. The optimization is defined to minimize the aircraft fuel consumption for cruise, while satisfying the field performance requirements. A coupled adjoint aerostructural tool, that couples a quasi-three-dimensional aerodynamic...journal article 2017

Cordova Chavez, M.E. (author)Crude oil, coal and gas are currently the main resources of energy in the world. The World Energy Outlook claimed in 2007 that the major source of energy (about 84%) would still be generated from fossil fuels in 2030. By these projections, the world's fossil fuel reserves will be consumed within a few decades, making it necessary to have a well...doctoral thesis 2017

Arce Leon, C.A. (author)The flow near the surface, and the acoustic emissions of trailing edge serrations are investigated in this work. The use of this family of aerodynamic devices on airfoils is intended for the reduction of turbulent boundary layer-trailing edge noise (TBL-TE noise). This purpose has been well demonstrated in wind tunnel and numerical experiments....doctoral thesis 2017

Ma, M. (author)The electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 into fuel and valuable chemicals by coupling with a renewable electricity source is a promising strategy for closing the anthropogenic carbon cycle. The critical step for achieving this practical CO2 utilization is to find a suitable electrocatalyst that is capable of reducing CO2 in a cost-effective...doctoral thesis 2017

(author)Nanomaterials can be identified in high-resolution electron microscopy images using spectrally-selective cathodoluminescence. Capabilities for multiplex detection can however be limited, e.g., due to spectral overlap or availability of filters. Also, the available photon flux may be limited due to degradation under electron irradiation. Here,...journal article 2017
