Faivre, R.D. (author)The parameterization of heat transfer by remote sensing, and based on SEBS scheme for turbulent heat fluxes retrieval, already proved to be very convenient for estimating evapotranspiration (ET) over homogeneous land surfaces. However, the use of such a method over heterogeneous landscapes (e.g. semi-arid regions or agricultural land) becomes...doctoral thesis 2014

Guo, L. (author), Van der Wegen, M. (author), Roelvink, J.A. (author), He, Q. (author)Numerous research efforts have been devoted to understanding estuarine morphodynamics under tidal forcing. However, the impact of river discharge on estuarine morphodynamics is insufficiently examined. Inspired by the Yangtze Estuary, this work explores the morphodynamic impact of river discharge in a 560 km long tidal basin based on a 1-D model...journal article 2014

(author), Wahlund, J.E. (author)This presentation will give a status of the JUICE mission in the end of the definition phase, its science scenario, and the observation strategies that are foreseen with a strong emphasis on the complemen-tarity of the suite of instruments. To summarize, the instrument suite on-board JUICE will allow the inte-gration of datasets into a...conference paper 2014

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Heijnen, P.W. (author)We have developed an agent-based model to optimize green-field network design in an industrial area. We aim to capture some of the deep uncertainties surrounding infrastructure design by modelling it developing specific ant colony optimizations. Hence, we propose a variety of extensions to our existing work, first ideas on how to realize them...conference paper 2014

Zaykov, P.G. (author)In this dissertation, we address the problem of performance efficient multithreading execution on heterogeneous multicore embedded systems. By heterogeneous multicore embedded systems we refer to those, which have real-time requirements and consist of processor tiles with General Purpose Processor (GPP), local memory, and one or more...doctoral thesis 2014

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Friege, J.M. (author)To meet climate protection targets it is suggested to increase the number of energy-efficient renovations. Homeowners are the main decision makers regarding renovations in their houses. It is hypothesized that socio-spatial structures affect the decision to renovate. Since it is crucial to consider all important aspects influencing the decision...conference paper 2014

Chung, C.K. (author)This dissertation argues that the floods following extreme precipitation result not only from very heavy rainfall but also from the significant impact of human activities on natural water systems. While most literature emphasizes that the increasing magnitude of storm rainfall extends beyond the original protection standards of hydrological...doctoral thesis 2014

Byrka, Jaroslaw (author), Li, S. (author), Rybicki, Bartosz (author)We study the k-level uncapacitated facility location problem (k-level UFL) in which clients need to be connected with paths crossing open facilities of k types (levels). In this paper we first propose an approximation algorithm that for any constant k, in polynomial time, delivers solutions of cost at most α<sub>k</sub> times OPT, where α<sub...journal article 2014

Ibrovic, V. (author), Lukovic, M. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Strain hardening cementitious composites (SHCC) have been used in variety of structural applications. Apart from this, they are also suitable for non-structural applications. In this work, the application of SHCC for producing cover plates for light switches and power sockets is presented. For design and decorative industry, cement based...conference paper 2014

Wang, Y. (author)Safe, fast, punctual, energy-efficient, and comfortable rail traffic systems are important for rail operators, passengers, and the environment. Due to the increasing energy prices and environmental concerns, the reduction of energy consumption has become one of the key objectives for railway systems. On the other hand, with the increase of...doctoral thesis 2014

Schmidt, A. (author)Open source and peer production have been praised as organisational models that could change the world for the better. It is commonly asserted that almost any societal activity could benefit from distributed, bottom-up collaboration — by making societal interaction more open, more social, and more democratic. However, we also need to be mindful...doctoral thesis 2014

After the repair, corrosion of the steel might continue and even accelerate. While the development of the corrosion cell depends on many parameters and is difficult to control, the occurrence of visible damage in some cases can be delayed and...conference paper 2014

As reality changes, data infrastructures might also be subject to change. Researchers have increasingly approached physical infrastructures as being complex adaptive systems (CAS). Although physical infrastructures are often approached as CAS, the underlying data infrastructures...journal article 2014

Van den Engel, P.J.W. (author), Kurvers, S.R. (author)Wanneer is natuurlijke ventilatie zinvol en wanneer niet? Waarom zijn we in veel gevallen overgegaan naar volledig mechanisch geventileerde gebouwen? Hoeveel ventilatie is eigenlijk nodig? Dit soort vragen zijn niet zo eenvoudig en eenduidig te beantwoorden. Er zijn vele meningen over.journal article 2014
