Agudelo-Vera, C. (author), Blokker, M. (author), Vreeburg, J. (author), Bongard, T. (author), Hillegers, S. (author), Van der Hoek, J.P. (author)A methodology to determine the robustness of the drinking water distribution system is proposed. The performance of three networks under ten future demand scenarios was tested, using head loss and residence time as indicators. The scenarios consider technological and demographic changes. Daily patterns were simulated with SIMDEUM for each...journal article 2014

Moerman, A. (author), Blokker, M. (author), Vreeburg, J. (author), Van der Hoek, J.P. (author)Domestic water supply systems are the final stage of the transport process to deliver potable water to the customers’ tap. Under the influence of temperature, residence time and pipe materials the drinking water quality can change while the water passes the domestic drinking water system. According to the Dutch Drinking Water Act the drinking...journal article 2014

De Roode, S.R. (author), Siebesma, A.P. (author), Dal Gesso, S. (author), Jonker, H.J.J. (author), Schalkwijk, J. (author), Sival, J. (author)A mixed-layer model is used to study the response of stratocumulus equilibrium state solutions to perturbations of cloud controlling factors which include the sea surface temperature, the specific humidity and temperature in the free troposphere, as well as the large-scale divergence and horizontal wind speed. In the first set of experiments, we...journal article 2014

Khosrokhavar, R. (author)The work described in this thesis deals with a variety of aspects related to the storage of carbon dioxide in geological formations. In particular we focus on the transfer between the gas phase to a fluid (liquid) or solid phase. This thesis limits its interest to study the sequestration capacity of CO2 in saline aquifers and more specifically...doctoral thesis 2014

Haffner, M. (author), Brunner, D. (author)Cooperatives in Germany can be considered a hybrid tenure, which offers a bundle of property rights that lies in between renting and owning. Being a cooperative occupier of a dwelling should allow for more secure occupancy rights than ordinarily available to renters and less secure occupancy rights than ordinarily available to owner-occupiers....report 2014

Raji, B. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)Due to the ever growing trend of urbanization and population growth, the construction of high-rise buildings is inevitable and will also continue at an ever increasing pace. However, typical high-rise buildings (the traditional template of a rectilinear, air-conditioned box) are not energy efficient in many aspects of their design. In this...conference paper 2014

Ameri, A. (author)In the phase of declining oilfields and at a time when recovering hydrocarbons has becoming more difficult, effective techniques are the key to extract more oil from mature fields. The difficulty of developing effective techniques is often the real obstacle when dealing with heterogeneous formations such as naturally fractured reservoirs, which...doctoral thesis 2014

Mezzacapo, A. (author), Las Heras, U. (author), Pedernales, J.S. (author), Di Carlo, L. (author), Solano, E. (author), Lamata, L. (author)We propose the analog-digital quantum simulation of the quantum Rabi and Dicke models using circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED). We find that all physical regimes, in particular those which are impossible to realize in typical cavity QED setups, can be simulated via unitary decomposition into digital steps. Furthermore, we show the emergence...journal article 2014

De Bruijn, E. (author)It is well established that the central nervous system (CNS) stabilizes the head using reflexive feedback and cocontraction. The major reflexive pathways in the neck are through muscle spindles generating the cervicocollic reflex (CCR) and through the vestibular organ generating the vestibulocollic reflex (VCR). The CNS modulates the...doctoral thesis 2014

(author)Continental moisture recycling is a crucial process of the South American climate system. In particular, evapotranspiration from the Amazon basin contributes substantially to precipitation regionally as well as over other remote regions such as the La Plata basin. Here we present an in-depth analysis of South American moisture recycling...journal article 2014

(author)This paper demonstrates the use of a new model consisting of a genetic algorithm in combination with thermodynamic calculations and analytical process models to minimize the processing time during a vacuum degassing treatment of liquid steel. The model sets multiple simultaneous targets for final S, N, O, Si and Al levels and uses the total slag...journal article 2014

(author)As it turns out, social factors are significantly correlated with the spatial structure of the street grid on a metropolitan scale level. On a local scale, disadvantaged areas have a high locally integrated spatial structure, but lack accessibility to the surrounding areas and the whole city. Seemingly, the connection between a main route...conference paper 2014

As molecular imaging is applied more frequently, more and more data is generated from longitudinal studies, often in various modalities. The increasing amount of data poses a number of visualization challenges for researchers, who...doctoral thesis 2014

(author)The magnetic ordering structure of GdPO4 is determined at T=60 mK by the diffraction of hot neutrons with wavelength ?=0.4696 Å. It corresponds to a noncollinear antiferromagnetic arrangement of the Gd moments with propagation vector k=(1/2,0,1/2). This arrangement is found to minimize the dipole-dipole interaction and the crystal-field...journal article 2014
