Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)In time-reversal acoustics, waves recorded at the boundary of a strongly scattering medium are sent back into the medium to focus at the original source position. This requires that the medium can be accessed from all sides. We discuss a focusing method for media that can be accessed from one side only. We show how complex focusing functions,...journal article 2014

Duricic, J. (author)The majority of dams constructed in the world are dams that can be categorized as embankment dams. Throughout history we can point to many failures of dams, and embankment dams in particular. Nowadays it is clear that the goal to construct stable dams has not been achieved, even with advanced technologies and construction techniques available....doctoral thesis 2014

Carniato, L. (author)Predicting the evolution of groundwater contamination is a major concern for society, in particular when investments are made to remediate the contamination. Groundwater reactive transport models are valuable tools to integrate the available measurements in a consistent framework, improving our understanding of the physical system and...doctoral thesis 2014

Anella, F. (author), Danelon, C. (author)The “RNA world” and the “Lipid world” theories for the origin of cellular life are often considered incompatible due to the differences in the environmental conditions at which they can emerge. One obstacle resides in the conflicting requirements for divalent metal ions, in particular Mg2+, with respect to optimal ribozyme activity, fatty acid...journal article 2014

Borgo, S. (author), Franssen, M.P.M. (author), Garbacz, P. (author), Kitamura, Y. (author), Mizoguchi, R. (author), Vermaas, P.E. (author)Humans are always interested in distinguishing natural and artificial entities although there is no sharp demarcation between the two categories. Surprisingly, things do not improve when the second type of entities is restricted to the arguably more constrained realm of physical technical artifacts. This paper helps to clarify the relationship...journal article 2014

Triggianese, M. (author)The practices of planning and architecture are undergoing considerable transformation especially for urban developments asso-ciated to infrastructural changes. This paper considers the proliferation of high-speed railways in Europe as a research opportunity to better understand the practice of complex interventions. Strategic sites such as...conference paper 2014

De Baar, J.H.S. (author)Both measurements and computer simulations of fluids introduce a prediction problem. A Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurement of a flow field results in a discrete grid of velocity vectors, from which we aim to predict the velocity field or related quantities. In Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), the output of the computer code depends...doctoral thesis 2014

Wang, X. (author)Cities in China are embarked on ambitions plans to create renewed inner-city station areas, particularly evident after a series of redevelopment projects; these projects mainly focus on the development of transport infrastructures, rather than turning station areas into vibrant urban spaces. Therefore, a general lack of citizen’s daily...conference paper 2014

Lu, G. (author), Hagan, M.E. (author), Häusler, K. (author), Doornbos, E.N. (author), Bruinsma, S. (author), Anderson, B.J. (author), Korth, H. (author)We present a case study of the 5 April 2010 geomagnetic storm using observations and numerical simulations. The event was driven by a fast-moving coronal mass ejection and despite being a moderate storm with a minimum Dst near ?50 nT, the event exhibited elevated thermospheric density and surges of traveling atmospheric disturbances (TADs) more...journal article 2014

Tao, K. (author)In the past decade, the Social Web has evolved into both an essential channel for people to exchange information and a new type of mass media. The immense amount of data produced presents new possibilities and challenges: algorithms and technologies need to be developed to extract and infer useful information from the Social Web. One of the main...doctoral thesis 2014

Shroff, S. (author)The application of composites in aircraft structures has grown significantly in the past decade, and an increase in this growth in application has recently been achieved in fuselage designs for large civil aircraft such as the Boeing B787 and the Airbus A350. In conventional design philosophies, weight savings is the primary objective on a part...doctoral thesis 2014

Petrus, M.L. (author)Solution processable organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are attracting much attention because of their anticipated advantages such as low cost, flexibility, lightweight, and the potential to be produced on a large scale. The photoactive layer of OPVs consists of a blend of an electron donating and an electron accepting material. Over the last 20 years...doctoral thesis 2014

Böhler, R. (author)The safety of nuclear power plants is one of the major issues in nuclear materials research. In this context, this PhD thesis presents an original experimental investigation of melting behaviour of several refractory nuclear materials, whose phase diagrams are often still uncertain at temperatures exceeding 2500 K. The physicochemical properties...doctoral thesis 2014

(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
