(author)Mismatch between the refractive indexes of immersion media and glass coverslips introduces spherical aberrations in microscopes especially for high numerical aperture objectives. This contribution demonstrates an automated adjustment of the coverslip correction collar in scanning confocal microscopy to compensate for spherical aberrations due to...journal article 2014

Van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author), Broersma, S. (author), Tillie, N.M.J.D. (author), Fremouw, M.A. (author)City regions and metropolitan areas form the scale on which the battle for will be won or lost, and the level at which cities can become resilient and even self-sufficient. A master plan for a sustainable energy system for city regions is not a luxury anymore. An energy master plan will be based on incremental steps of transition. The approach...conference paper 2014

Sebacher, B.M. (author)An important key in reservoirs engineering is the development of reliable reservoir models with high predictive capacity of production behavior in the existing and new drilled wells. The reservoir predictability is the starting point for guiding the production plan to an optimum. In order to achieve this, the internal geological description of...doctoral thesis 2014

Lashgari, I. (author), Picano, F. (author), Breugem, W.P. (author), Brandt, L. (author)The aim of this Letter is to characterize the flow regimes of suspensions of finite-size rigid particles in a viscous fluid at finite inertia. We explore the system behavior as a function of the particle volume fraction and the Reynolds number (the ratio of flow and particle inertia to viscous forces). Unlike single-phase flows, where a clear...journal article 2014

Jimenez Garcia, J.C. (author)The current healthcare paradigm shifts towards considering the patients’ home as the primary self-care environment. Health care is changing from being solely delivered by professionals in hospitals, to considering daily-life experiences and patients’ personal contexts. In order to meet this paradigm, the interaction between healthcare...doctoral thesis 2014

(author)Active movement-assistive devices aim to increase the quality of life for patients with neuromusculoskeletal disorders. This technology requires interaction between the user and the device through a control interface that detects the user’s movement intention. Researchers have explored a wide variety of invasive and non-invasive control...journal article 2014

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

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

(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
