Balkenende, R. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author)Sustainability of electronic products until recently mainly focused on improving the energy efficiency. Recently, resource efficiency has become of growing importance. Due to the use of relatively small amounts of many valuable and scarce materials, often intimately mixed, the design of electronic products deserves specific attention. From a...conference paper 2015

Hoogland, J. (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author), la Poutré, J.A. (author)Motivated by the energy domain, we examine a risk-averse buyer that has to purchase a fixed quantity of a continuous good. The buyer has two opportunities to buy: now or later. The buyer can spread the quantity over the two timeslots in any way, as long as the total quantity remains the same. The current price is known, but the future price...conference paper 2015

Luo, P. (author), Rodrigo, C (author), Gaspar, F. J. (author), Oosterlee, C.W. (author)In this study, a nonlinear multigrid method is applied for solving the system of incompressible poroelasticity equations considering nonlinear hydraulic conductivity. For the unsteady problem, an additional artificial term is utilized to stabilize the solutions when the equations are discretized on collocated grids. We employ two nonlinear...journal article 2015

Klievink, A.J. (author)Collaboration between the public and the private sector is seen as an instrument to make governance smarter, more effective, and more efficient. However, whereas there is literature on public-private collaboration, very little of it addresses how these collaborations can be shaped to make use of the huge potential that technological innovations...conference paper 2015

Douma, Johanna G. (author), Volkers, Karin M. (author), Vuijk, Jelle Pieter (author), Sonneveld, M.H. (author), Goossens, R.H.M. (author), Scherder, Erik J.A. (author)Background: The number of older adults with dementia is expected to increase. Dementia is not only characterized by a decline in cognition, also other functions, for example, physical functioning change. A possible means to decrease the decline in these functions, or even improve them, could be increasing the amount of physical activity. A...journal article 2015

Bonifazi, Giuseppe (author), Serranti, Silvia (author), Potenza, F. (author), Luciani, V. (author), Di Maio, F. (author)The European politics is addressed, in their last years, more and more towards the abolition of landfills and oriented to verify the possibility to improve their recovery through actions of recycling, composting and energy production. Currently the European Directive 2008/98/EC, through the principle of End of Waste (EoW), is driving the...conference paper 2015

Yazdan Mehr, M. (author), van Driel, W.D. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)In this paper, progresses of color maintenance, also known as color shift, in solid-state lighting (SSL) systems are thoroughly reviewed. First, color shift is introduced and a few examples are given from different real-life industrial conditions. Different degradation mechanisms in different parts of the system are also explained. Different...review 2015

Santos, C. (author), Espinoza, F. (author), Santiso, E. (author), Mazo, M. (author)One of the main challenges in wireless cyber-physical systems is to reduce the load of the communication channel while preserving the control performance. In this way, communication resources are liberated for other applications sharing the channel bandwidth. The main contribution of this work is the design of a remote control solution based on...journal article 2015

In Escherichia coli, replisome progression beyond the termination site is prevented by Tus proteins bound to asymmetric Ter sites. Structural evidence indicates that strand...journal article 2015
