Taleghani, M. (author)The urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon and the dependency of buildings on fossil fuels were the two main issues that formed this dissertation. UHI results in higher air temperatures in dense urban areas compared with their suburbs and rural surroundings. This phenomenon affects human health through thermal discomfort and air pollution....doctoral thesis 2014

Gramsbergen, E. (author)Stedelijke instellingen spelen niet alleen in de organisatie van het publieke leven van de stad een rol, maar zetten ook een niet te miskennen stempel op de vorm van de stad en de transformatie daarvan in de loop van de tijd. Zij zijn opdrachtgevers van omvangrijke bouwwerken, die zelf weer belangrijke bouwstenen zijn van de structuur van de...doctoral thesis 2014

Hakeem, A.A. (author)The water–gas shift (WGS) is a reversible, moderately exothermic reaction (1) and is used for the production of hydrogen from CO rich gas streams (synthesis gas). CO + H2O ? CO2 + H2 ?H°= –41 kJ mol?1 (1) This research has focused on the catalyst development of water–gas shift (WGS) reaction and understanding the catalytic activity contributions...doctoral thesis 2014

Naeimi, M. (author), Li, Z. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author)A new small–scale test rig developed for rolling contact fatigue (RCF) investigations in wheel–rail material. This paper presents the scaling strategy of the rig based on dimensional analysis and mechanical modelling. The new experimental rig is indeed a spinning frame structure with multiple wheel components over a fixed rail-track ring,...conference paper 2014

Xia, L. (author), Pont, S.C. (author), Heynderickx, I.E.J.R. (author)Human observers’ ability to infer the light field in empty space is known as the “visual light field.” While most relevant studies were performed using images on computer screens, we investigate the visual light field in a real scene by using a novel experimental setup. A “probe” and a scene were mixed optically using a semitransparent mirror....journal article 2014

Gebraad, P.M.O. (author)Each wind turbine in a cluster of wind turbines (a wind power plant) can influence the performance of other turbines through the wake that forms downstream of its rotor. The wake has a reduced wind velocity, since the turbine extracts energy from the flow, and the obstruction by the wind turbine rotor causes increased turbulence. If another...doctoral thesis 2014

Gosseye, J. (author)Writing about leisure in suburbia would be neigh impossible without including shopping centres. Leisure, suburbia and shopping centres might well embody the holy trinity of capitalist modernity. It was the consolidation of capitalism that established our modern sense of work, free time and leisure, and the shopping centre became its temple; a...journal article 2014

Als een overheid ervoor kiest om de herverdeling niet alleen via de inkomens te laten verlopen en om een gelijke uitgangssituatie te scheppen voor alle huishoudens (gelijkheid in kansen) niet alleen via de inkomens, worden er op andere...report 2014

Sun, Q. (author), Wang, Y. (author), Yang, J. (author), Qiu, Y. (author), Zhang, H. (author)This paper presents a method to control chaotic behavior of a typical Smart Grid based on generalized fuzzy hyperbolic model (GFHM). As more and more distributed generations (DG) are incorporated into the Smart Grid, the chaotic behavior occurs increasingly. To verify the behavior, a dynamic model which describes a power system with DG is...journal article 2014

Hara, Y. (author), Hooimeijer, F.L. (author), Nijhuis, S. (author), Ryu, M. (author), Van Timmeren, A. (author)In the Osaka area in the 1880s, rice was grown mostly in dry fields in upland areas, and a few paddy fields were situated on the natural wet landforms along the major rivers and streams on the Osaka Plain. As the area developed, dry fields became irrigated, and the lowland fields were filled and converted to urban land uses. For the Osaka city...journal article 2014

Oikonomopoulou, F. (author), Veer, F.A. (author), Nijsse, R. (author), Baardolf, G. (author)A pioneering, all transparent, self-supporting glass block facade is presented in this paper. Previously realized examples utilize embedded metal components in order to obtain the desired structural performance despite the fact that these elements greatly affect the facade’s overall transparency level. Undeniably, the oxymoron ‘transparency and...journal article 2014

(author)We present a new approach to the dual-beam geometry for on-chip optical trapping and Raman spectroscopy, using waveguides microfabricated in TripleX technology. Such waveguides are box shaped and consist of SiO2 and Si3N4, so as to provide a low index contrast with respect to the SiO2 claddings and low loss, while retaining the advantages of...journal article 2014
