Hartjes, S. (author)Civil aviation plays an irreplaceable role in the current global civilization. Even though the 2008 economic crisis has limited growth in the western world, it can only be expected that due to continuing development in the Far East, South America and Africa this role will increase further over the years to come. Also in the field of helicopter...doctoral thesis 2015

Boehme, S.C. (author)This study reports on fundamental processes in Quantum-Dot Solids, after light absorption. Transient Absorption and Time-resolved Photoluminescence spectrocopy reveal the dynamics of charge transfer and charge trapping processes. Typically, both occur on a picosecond time scale and compete with each other. We find that the efficiency of these...doctoral thesis 2015

Knibbe, H.P. (author)The oil and gas industry makes use of computational intensive algorithms to provide an image of the subsurface. The image is obtained by sending wave energy into the subsurface and recording the signal required for a seismic wave to reflect back to the surface from the Earth interfaces that may have different physical properties. A seismic wave...doctoral thesis 2015

Mooij, J.E. (author), Schön, G. (author), Shnirman, A. (author), Fuse, T. (author), Harmans, C.J.P.M. (author), Rotzinger, H. (author), Verbruggen, A.H. (author)Superconducting nanowires are the dual elements to Josephson junctions, with quantum phase-slip (QPS) processes replacing the tunneling of Cooper pairs. When the QPS amplitude ES is much smaller than the inductive energy EL, the nanowire responds as a superconducting inductor. When the inductive energy is small, the response is capacitive. The...journal article 2015

Lucas, K. (author), Van Wee, G.P. (author), Maat, C. (author)In this paper, we present the case that traditional transport appraisal methods do not sufficiently capture the social dimensions of mobility and accessibility. However, understanding this is highly relevant for policymakers to understand the impacts of their transport decisions. These dimensions include the distribution of mobility and...journal article 2015

Bleichrodt, R.J. (author), Hulsman, M. (author), Wösten, H.A.B. (author), Reinders, A.J.T. (author)Pores in fungal septa enable cytoplasmic streaming between hyphae and their compartments. Consequently, the mycelium can be considered unicellular. However, we show here that Woronin bodies close ~50% of the three most apical septa of growing hyphae of Aspergillus niger. The incidence of closure of the 9th and 10th septa was even ?94%....journal article 2015

Zhu, S. (author)In this thesis, I have shown that the quality of synthetic graphene can be as high as mechanically exfoliated graphene if we can get rid of the wrinkles. Any defects, impurities and grain boundaries will induce scattering, preventing ballistic transport. The experiment described in chapter 4 was the first to demonstrate ballistic transport in...doctoral thesis 2015

Inacio, P.M.G. (author), Ditmar, P.G. (author), Klees, R. (author), Hashemifarahani, H. (author)Star cameras (SCs) on board the GRACE satellites provide information about the attitudes of the spacecrafts. This information is needed to reduce the K-band ranging data to the centre of mass of the satellites. In this paper, we analyse GRACE SC errors using two months of real data of the primary and secondary SCs. We show that the errors...journal article 2015

Blinde, P.L. (author), Schrijer, F.F.J. (author), Powell, S.J. (author), Werner, R.M. (author), Van Oudheusden, B.W. (author)A wind tunnel model containing a solid rocket motor was tested at Mach 2 to assess the feasibility of investigating the interaction between a hot plume and a high-speed outer stream. In addition to Schlieren visualisation, the feasibility of applying PIV was explored. Recorded particle images revealed that the hot plume scatters and reflects...conference paper 2015

We performed a meta-regression analysis on 2 parallel systematic reviews and meta-analyses to determine the association between early migration and late aseptic revision of femoral...journal article 2015

De Jong, J. (author)DNA is packaged together with proteins, such as histones, in the nucleus of a cell to form a fiber called chromatin. The nature of this packaging, the "chromatin structure", is essential for proper cell functioning. This is illustrated by the fact that perturbating chromatin can be associated with many diseases. Hence, artificial perturbation of...doctoral thesis 2015

Khakharia, P. (author)Global greenhouse gas emissions, especially of CO2, have been increasing tremendously over the past century. This is known to cause not only an increase of temperature, but also a change in our climate. Along with a shift to renewable sources of energy, Carbon Capture and Storage is necessary to mitigate climate change. Power plants are the...doctoral thesis 2015

Noorlandt, R.P. (author), Drijkoningen, G.G. (author), Dams, J. (author), Jenneskens, R. (author)A linear synchronous motor (LSM) is an electric motor that can produce large controllable forces and is therefore suitable as a driving engine for a seismic vibrator. This motor consists of two independent elements, a magnet track and a coil track, allowing practically unlimited motor displacements. This makes the LSM very suitable for expanding...journal article 2015
