Hoekstra, J.M. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author)To advance ATM research as a science, ATM research results should be made more comparable. A possible way to do this is to share tools and data. This paper presents a project that investigates the feasibility of a fully open-source and open-data approach to air traffic simulation. Here, the first of the two main challenges is to achieve a high...conference paper 2016

Ertsen, M.W. (author)This paper argues that human and material agents co-shape ‘morality’. Water systems will be discussed in more detail. Artefacts (technologies) relate humans and their worlds, but the specifics of this relationship become meaningful only within specific actor-networks. As such, the material influences the moral decisions of humans. Examples...journal article 2016

(author)Softening at drinking water treatment plants is often realised by fluidised bed pellet reactors. Generally, sand is used as seeding material and pellets are produced as a by-product. To improve to sustainability, research has been carried out to replace the seeding material by re-using grained and sieved calcite pellets as seeding material. An...conference paper 2015

Den Uijl, N.J. (author)The introduction of advanced high strengths steels enabled automotive manufacturers to simultaneously reduce weight and increase safety of vehicles. However issues were reported concerning the weldability of these steels. These issues concerned both the manufacturability as well as the performance of resistance spot welded joints. The...doctoral thesis 2015

Savija, B. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Concrete structures are commonly cracked when in service. To overcome issues arising from cracking, self-healing concrete is being developed. Together with the development of the material, techniques to verify and quantify self-healing are being developed. A number of destructive techniques have been used in the past. It would be beneficial to...conference paper 2015

Van der Helm, A.W.C. (author), Kramer, O.J.I. (author), Hooft, J.F.M. (author), De Moel, P.J. (author)In practice, drinking water technologists use simplified calculation methods for aquatic chemistry calculations. Recently, the database stimela.dat is developed especially for aquatic chemistry for drinking water treatment processes. The database is used in PHREEQC, the standard in geohydrology for calculating chemical equilibria in groundwater....conference paper 2015

Daelman, M.R.J. (author)Since 1750, the year that commonly marks the start of the Industrial Revolution, the atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide have risen about 40 %, 150 % and 20 %, respectively, above the pre-industrial levels due to human activity (IPCC (2013) Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis. Working Group I...doctoral thesis 2014

Van Wageningen-Kessels, F.L.M. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Daamen, W. (author)Consistent definitions of important variables in pedestrian flow dynamics are proposed. They are based on the definition of similar variables for road traffic flow from the 1960's by Edie. The definitions are extended to include multi-class flows where pedestrians move in different directions or have different characteristics. The new...journal article 2014

Rios Soltero, E.F. (author), Spitas, C. (author), Flipsen, S.F.J. (author), Savelberg, H.H.C.M. (author)Due to the complexity of joints and the difficulty to get accurate position measurements, most biomechanical analyses regarding cycling are based on some basic assumptions. For instance, a fixed distance is often set between the hip joint and the seat. Sometimes, this joint is considered to be coincident with the line of the seat-tube. Other...journal article 2014

Zijlema, M. (author)This paper presents the application of the open source non-hydrostatic wave-flow model SWASH to propagation of irregular waves in a barred surf zone, and the model results are discussed by comparing against an extensive laboratory data set. This study focus not only on wave transformation in the surf zone, but also on the numerical prediction of...conference paper 2014

Janulevicius, A. (author)Myxobacteria are social bacteria that are remarkable for their complex life cycle. In vegetative state, when nutrients are available, myxobacteria cooperatively swarm on a solid surface and feed. When exposed to starvation conditions, myxobacteria exhibit multicellular morphogenesis: 10^5-10^6 cells aggregate to form a fruiting body. Due to...doctoral thesis 2014

Galindo Nava, E.I. (author)This work aims to describe plastic deformation and microstructure evolution of metals at various scales in terms of dislocation behaviour. The theory is based on statistical thermodynamics, where the entropy is proposed to incorporate the possible paths for dislocation motion. Other than estimating the velocity gradients a dislocation may reach,...doctoral thesis 2013

(author)A long-lasting barrier protection at damaged sites of coated system can be achieved by means of an active response of the primer. This may be attained through the release of reactive liquids from dispersed containers, the increase of the local mobility of the polymeric network, or the expansion of (dispersed elements in) the primer [1]. Such...conference paper 2013
