Yakaboylu, O. (author)In the following decades, biomass will play an important role among the other renewable energy sources globally as it is already the fourth largest energy resource after coal, oil and natural gas. It is possible to obtain gaseous, liquid or solid biofuels from biomass via thermochemical or biochemical conversion routes. Among them, gasification...doctoral thesis 2016

Boehme, S.C. (author), Vanmaekelbergh, Daniël (author), Evers, W.H. (author), Siebbeles, L.D.A. (author), Houtepen, A.J. (author)Charge transfer in semiconductor heterojunctions is largely governed by the offset in the energy levels of the constituent materials. Unfortunately, literature values for such energy level offsets vary widely and are usually based on energy levels of the individual materials rather than of actual heterojunctions. Here we present a new method...journal article 2016

(author), Guinea, Francisco (author), van der Zant, H.S.J. (author), Coronado, Eugenio (author)The ability to exfoliate layered materials down to the single layer limit has presented the opportunity to understand how a gradual reduction in dimensionality affects the properties of bulk materials. Here we use this top-down approach to address the problem of superconductivity in the two-dimensional limit. The transport properties of...journal article 2016

Brauns, Matthias (author), Ridderbos, Joost (author), Li, Ang (author), Bakkers, E.P.A.M. (author), Zwanenburg, Floris A. (author)We present angle-dependent measurements of the effective g factor g in a Ge-Si core-shell nanowire quantum dot. g is found to be maximum when the magnetic field is pointing perpendicularly to both the nanowire and the electric field induced by local gates. Alignment of the magnetic field with the electric field reduces g significantly. g is...journal article 2016

(author), Pynn, R (author)Stöber silica particles are used in a diverse range of applications. Despite their widespread industrial and scientific uses, information on the internal structure of the particles is non-trivial to obtain and is not often reported. In this work we have used spin-echo small angle neutron scattering (SESANS) in conjunction with ultra small angle...journal article 2016

de Boer-Euser, Tanja (author), McMillan, H (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author), Winsemius, H.C. (author), Savenije, Hubert (author)Root zone storage capacity ( S r ) is an important variable for hydrology and climate studies, as it strongly influences the hydrological functioning of a catchment and, via evaporation, the local climate. Despite its importance, it remains difficult to obtain a well-founded catchment representative estimate. This study tests the hypothesis that...journal article 2016

Dubey, R.K. (author), Inan, D. (author), Sengupta, S. (author), Sudhölter, E.J.R. (author), Grozema, F.C. (author), Jager, W.F. (author)We report the synthesis and excited-state dynamics of a series of five bichromophoric light-harvesting antenna systems, which are capable of efficient harvesting of solar energy in the spectral range of 350–580 nm. These antenna systems have been synthesized in a modular fashion by the covalent attachment of blue light absorbing naphthalene...journal article 2016

Peri?, V. (author)The power system industry has been going through dynamic infrastructural and operational changes in recent years that have caused more prominent lightly damped electromechanical oscillations. Real-time monitoring of electromechanical oscillations is of great significance for power system operators; to this aim, software solutions (algorithms)...doctoral thesis 2016

Zong, Z. (author), Babaie, M. (author), Staszewski, R.B. (author)This paper proposes a mm-wave frequency generation technique that improves its phase noise (PN) performance and power efficiency. The main idea is that a fundamental 20 GHz signal and its sufficiently strong third harmonic at 60 GHz are generated simultaneously in a single oscillator. The desired 60 GHz local oscillator (LO) signal is delivered...journal article 2016

(author)The study of the evolution of highly configurable systems requires a thorough understanding of thee core ingredients of such systems: (1) the underlying variability model; (2) the assets that together implement the configurable features; and (3) the mapping from variable features to actual assets. Unfortunately, to date no systematic way to...conference paper 2016

Ghaemi Nia, M.M. (author), De Vries, M.J. (author)Although ‘models’ play a significant role in engineering activities, not much has yet been developed to enhance the technological literacy of students in this regard. This contribution intends to help fill this gap and deliver a comprehensive account as to the nature and various properties of these engineering tools. It begins by inspecting two...journal article 2016

Jafari-Salim, A. (author), Eftekharian, A. (author), Majedi, A.H. (author), Ansari, M.H. (author)We study the rate of quantum phase slips in an ultranarrow superconducting nanowire exposed to weak electromagnetic radiations. The superconductor is in the dirty limit close to the superconducting-insulating transition, where fluxoids move in strong dissipation. We use a semiclassical approach and show that external radiation stimulates a...journal article 2016

Bračevac, Oliver (author), Erdweg, S.T. (author), Salvaneschi, Guido (author), Mezini, Mira (author)Running distributed applications in the cloud involves deployment. That is, distribution and configuration of application services and middleware infrastructure. The considerable complexity of these tasks resulted in the emergence of declarative JSON-based domain-specific deployment languages to develop deployment programs. However, existing...conference paper 2016

Kim, N.S. (author), Wiegmans, B. (author), Bu, L. (author)n this paper, we present a method to estimate CO2 reduction potential by increasing the truck size. Trucks are apparently the most preferred freight transport option for most shippers. Therefore, increasing the truck size may be a realizable and practical strategy, except when logistics companies (truck owners) tailor their truck sizes to...journal article 2016

Moreno Pessoa, I. (author), Tasan-Kok, M.T. (author), Korthals Altes, W.K. (author)Urban areas have spatial discontinuities, such as disconnected neighbourhoods, brownfield areas and leftover places. They can be captured by the metaphor of urban porosity. This paper aims to highlight the potential social consequences of urban porosity by creating a ‘porosity index’. The authors argue that these areas can provide capacity for...journal article 2016
