Broers, W.J.W. (author), Nikayin, F.A. (author), De Reuver, G.A. (author)Supporting the ageing population is a worldwide challenge as it causes a huge tension on societies, regarding to healthcare budgets, resources, pensions and social security systems. To support people ‘age in place’ we propose a digital matchmaking platform for health and wellbeing. Nevertheless, what should be the main purpose of such a platform...conference paper 2014

(author)We measure the low-frequency thermal fluctuations of pure spin current in a platinum film deposited on yttrium iron garnet via the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE)-mediated voltage noise as a function of the angle ? between the magnetization and the transport direction. The results are consistent with the fluctuation-dissipation theorem in terms...journal article 2014

(author)Many environmental systems models, such as conceptual rainfall-runoff models, rely on model calibration for parameter identification. For this, an observed output time series (such as runoff) is needed, but frequently not available (e.g., when making predictions in ungauged basins). In this study, we provide an alternative approach for parameter...journal article 2014

(author)The main aim of this paper was to analyze possible utilization of the low concentration nanofluids and the magnetic field to enhance heat transfer. The studied fluids were based on water with an addition of copper particles (40-60 nm diameter). They belonged to the diamagnetic group of materials. As a first attempt to stated target the analysis...conference paper 2014

Wang, S.Z. (author), Xia, K. (author), Bauer, G.E.W. (author)We compute the thermoelectric transport parameterized by the Seebeck coefficient and thermal/electric conductance of random-alloy FeCo/MgO/FeCo(001) magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) from first principles using a generalized Landauer-Büttiker formalism. The thermopower is found to be typically smaller than those of Fe/MgO/Fe(001) MTJs. The ...journal article 2014

Hoornahad, H. (author)No-slump concrete (NSLC) is one of the commercial types of concrete that is known as a type of concrete with almost zero flowability. No-slump concrete is normally used for typical applications, like pavements construction and massive dam structures. The specific feature of a no-slump concrete is its high shape holding ability. No fixed formwork...doctoral thesis 2014

Gharari, S. (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author), Fenicia, F. (author), Gao, H. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author)Conceptual environmental system models, such as rainfall runoff models, generally rely on calibration for parameter identification. Increasing complexity of this type of models for better representation of hydrological process heterogeneity, typically makes parameter identification more difficult. Although various, potentially valuable,...journal article 2014

Leeftink, T.N. (author), Latooij, C.A. (author), Rossen, W.R. (author)Injectivity is a key factor in the economics of foam enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes. Poor injectivity of low-mobility foam slows the production of oil and allows more time for gravity segregation of injected gas. The conventional Peaceman equation (1978), when applied in a large grid block, makes two substantial errors in estimating foam...journal article 2014

Zaman, T. (author), Jonker, P.P. (author), Lenseigne, B.A.J. (author), Dik, J. (author)Introduction: Paintings are versatile near-planar objects with material characteristics that vary widely. The fact that paint has a material presence is often overlooked, mostly due to the fact that we encounter many of these artworks through two dimensional reproductions. The capture of paintings in the third dimension is not only interesting...journal article 2014
