Ameri, A. (author)In the phase of declining oilfields and at a time when recovering hydrocarbons has becoming more difficult, effective techniques are the key to extract more oil from mature fields. The difficulty of developing effective techniques is often the real obstacle when dealing with heterogeneous formations such as naturally fractured reservoirs, which...doctoral thesis 2014

Mezzacapo, A. (author), Las Heras, U. (author), Pedernales, J.S. (author), Di Carlo, L. (author), Solano, E. (author), Lamata, L. (author)We propose the analog-digital quantum simulation of the quantum Rabi and Dicke models using circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED). We find that all physical regimes, in particular those which are impossible to realize in typical cavity QED setups, can be simulated via unitary decomposition into digital steps. Furthermore, we show the emergence...journal article 2014

De Bruijn, E. (author)It is well established that the central nervous system (CNS) stabilizes the head using reflexive feedback and cocontraction. The major reflexive pathways in the neck are through muscle spindles generating the cervicocollic reflex (CCR) and through the vestibular organ generating the vestibulocollic reflex (VCR). The CNS modulates the...doctoral thesis 2014

(author)Continental moisture recycling is a crucial process of the South American climate system. In particular, evapotranspiration from the Amazon basin contributes substantially to precipitation regionally as well as over other remote regions such as the La Plata basin. Here we present an in-depth analysis of South American moisture recycling...journal article 2014

Dilner, D. (author), Lu, Q. (author), Mao, H. (author), Xu, W. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author), Selleby, M. (author)This paper demonstrates the use of a new model consisting of a genetic algorithm in combination with thermodynamic calculations and analytical process models to minimize the processing time during a vacuum degassing treatment of liquid steel. The model sets multiple simultaneous targets for final S, N, O, Si and Al levels and uses the total slag...journal article 2014

Mohamed, A.A. (author), Van Nes, A. (author), Salheen, M.A. (author), Khalifa, M.A. (author), Hamhaber, J. (author)As it turns out, social factors are significantly correlated with the spatial structure of the street grid on a metropolitan scale level. On a local scale, disadvantaged areas have a high locally integrated spatial structure, but lack accessibility to the surrounding areas and the whole city. Seemingly, the connection between a main route...conference paper 2014

(author)We present a RNA deep sequencing (RNAseq) analysis of a comparison of the transcriptome responses to infection of zebrafish larvae with Staphylococcus epidermidis and Mycobacterium marinum bacteria. We show how our developed GeneTiles software can improve RNAseq analysis approaches by more confidently identifying a large set of markers upon...journal article 2014

Lacagnina, C. (author), Selten, F. (author), Siebesma, A.P. (author)To test the impact of modeling uncertainties and biases on the simulation of cloud feedbacks, several configurations of the EC-Earth climate model are built altering physical parameterizations. An overview of the various radiative feedbacks diagnosed from the reference EC-Earth configuration is documented for the first time. The cloud feedback...journal article 2014

Kok, P. (author)Molecular imaging techniques have been developing rapidly over the past decades, especially in preclinical research. As molecular imaging is applied more frequently, more and more data is generated from longitudinal studies, often in various modalities. The increasing amount of data poses a number of visualization challenges for researchers, who...doctoral thesis 2014

(author)The magnetic ordering structure of GdPO4 is determined at T=60 mK by the diffraction of hot neutrons with wavelength ?=0.4696 Å. It corresponds to a noncollinear antiferromagnetic arrangement of the Gd moments with propagation vector k=(1/2,0,1/2). This arrangement is found to minimize the dipole-dipole interaction and the crystal-field...journal article 2014

Busking, S. (author)As datasets grow in size and complexity, the importance of comparison as a tool for analysis is growing. We define comparison as the act of analyzing variation or variability based on two or more specific instances of the data. This thesis explores a number of cases spread across the range of comparisons, from variability within one entity...doctoral thesis 2014

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

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
