Huang, H. (author), Ye, G. (author), Damidot, D. (author)In this paper, the proposed coupled transport-reaction model adapted to simulate autogenous self-healing in Portland cement paste is validated with the experimental results. The parameters are studied for modelling the dissolution of cement, the diffusion of ions between the solution in the crack and in the bulk paste and the precipitation of...conference paper 2014

(author)Background: In vivo bioluminescence, fluorescence, and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging provide complementary information about biological processes. However, to date these signatures are evaluated separately on individual preclinical systems. In this paper, we introduce a fully integrated bioluminescence-fluorescence...journal article 2014

(author)The Extended Single Window (ESW) project aims to support goods flows by Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Specifically, the project takes the concept of Single Windows (often used in the sense that governments offer a single portal or interface to which businesses can submit information, supporting re-ruse by multiple agencies and...report 2014

Schnell, S.K. (author), Skorpa, R. (author), Bedeaux, D. (author), Kjelstrup, S.H. (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author), Simon, J.M. (author)We present a new molecular simulation technique for determining partial molar enthalpies in mixtures of gases and liquids from single simulations, without relying on particle insertions, deletions, or identity changes. The method can also be applied to systems with chemical reactions. We demonstrate our method for binary mixtures of Weeks...journal article 2014

Ozkaramanli, D. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)This paper starts from the proposition that concern conflicts can be powerful starting points for user-centered design processes. Our focus is on the challenge to identify conflicting concerns that are both inspiring and relevant in the context of use, or in the user’s general context of life. First, three main ingredients of concern conflict...conference paper 2014

Jiminez, S. (author), Pohlmeyer, A.E. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author), Huzen, B.M.A. (author)This paper discusses an approach to possibility-driven design as an alternative to traditional problem-driven design approaches. the first parts discuss merits and challenges when design- ing for possibilities, and present some examples of existing design theories that exemplify the potential contribution of this view on design. Next, a five...conference paper 2014

Brouwers, N. (author)The increasing ubiquity of the modern smartphone, coupled with its technical capabilities in terms of processing power, internet connectivity, and sensor richness, make it an ideal platformfor sensing all kinds of information about ourselves and the world around us. The emerging field of Mobile Phone Sensing (MPS) is taking advantage of this new...doctoral thesis 2014

Adzkiya, D. (author)Max-Plus-Linear (MPL) systems are a class of discrete-event systems with a continuous state space characterizing the timing of the underlying sequential discrete events. These systems are predisposed to describe the timing synchronization between interleaved processes. MPL systems are employed in the analysis and scheduling of infrastructure...doctoral thesis 2014

Sun, R. (author)To increase mission return, utilizing two or more spacecraft instead of one may sometimes be superior. This is especially true when a large spaceborne instrument needs to be created through larger and configurable baselines, such as telescopes and interferometers. However, coordinating the alignment of the individual components of such a...doctoral thesis 2014

Biljecki, F. (author), Ledoux, H. (author), Stoter, J. (author)This paper describes the analysis of the propagation of positional uncertainty in 3D city models to the uncertainty in the computation of their volumes. Current work related to error propagation in GIS is limited to 2D data and 2D GIS operations, especially of rasters. In this research we have (1) developed two engines, one that generates random...conference paper 2014

Boehm, C. (author)One of the most important tools in today's sailing yacht design is the Velocity Prediction Program (VPP). VPPs calculate boat speed from the equilibrium of aero- and hydrodynamic flow forces. Consequently their accuracy is linked to the accuracy of the aero- and hydrodynamic data used to represent a yacht. These data are usually derived from...doctoral thesis 2014

Ortíz Nicolás, J.C. (author), Aurisicchio, M. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)This study reports quantitative research into two basic dimensions of emotions: pleasantness and arousal. Fifty-nine participants evaluated these two dimensions for a set of twenty-five positive emotions in relation to human-product interactions. Three levels of arousal were iden- tified: ‘exciting’, ‘median’ and ‘calm’. Nine emotions were found...conference paper 2014

Morales-Espana, G. (author)In recent years, high penetration of variable generating sources, such as wind power, has challenged independent system operators (ISO) in keeping a cheap and reliable power system operation. Any deviation between expected and real wind production must be absorbed by the power system resources (reserves), which must be available and ready to be...doctoral thesis 2014
