Stunt, J.J. (author), Wulms, P.H. (author), Kerkhoffs, G.M. (author), Dankelman, J. (author), Van Dijk, C.N. (author), Tuijthof, G.J.M. (author)Background: Since simulators offer important advantages, they are increasingly used in medical education and medical skills training that require physical actions. A wide variety of simulators have become commercially available. It is of high importance that evidence is provided that training on these simulators can actually improve clinical...journal article 2014

Sterenborg, J.J.H.M. (author)For wind turbines there is need for accurate fluid-structure interaction predictions due to among others increasing wind turbine blade length and the design of load alleviation systems based on aero-elastic blade deformations, like bend-twist coupling. Currently, engineering models are widely used to simulate fluid-structure interactions for...doctoral thesis 2014

Pfeiffer, T.V. (author)Nanostructuring of functional materials is an essential part in the design of energy related devices – but the industrial tools we have to make these materials are lacking. This dissertation explores the green, flexible, and scalable spark discharge process for the fabrication of complex nanostructured materials, and the application of said...doctoral thesis 2014

Modular Structures, Robustness and Protection of Complex Networks: Theory, Complexity and AlgorithmsTrajanovski, S. (author)Community structure is observed in many real-world networks, such as (online) social networks, where groups of friends of a certain person are often also friends of each other. Newman's modularity has been explored as an important quantitative metric for communities and clusters detection in networks. We present a new expressions and bounds for...doctoral thesis 2014

Tohidian, M. (author), Madadi, I. (author), Staszewski, R.B. (author)In this paper, we propose a discrete-time IIR low-pass filter that achieves a high-order of filtering through a charge-sharing rotation. Its sampling rate is then multiplied through pipelining. The first stage of the filter can operate in either a voltage-sampling or charge-sampling mode. It uses switches, capacitors and a simple gm-cell, rather...journal article 2014

Rothkrantz, L.J.M. (author)The use of sensor networks has been proposed for military surveillance and environmental monitoring applications. Those systems are composed of a heterogeneous set of sensors to observe the environment. In centralised systems the observed data will be conveyed to the control room to process the data. Human operators are supposed to give a...journal article 2014

Bakker, M. (author)The Dupuit solution for interface flow toward the coast in a confined aquifer is compared to a new exact solution, which is obtained with the Hodograph method and conformal mapping. The position of the toe of the interface is a function of two dimensionless parameters: the ratio of the hydraulic gradient upstream of the interface where flow is...journal article 2014

Huang, H. (author), Ye, G. (author), Damidot, D. (author)In this study, a coupled transport-reaction model was specifically developed for simulating autogenous self-healing in cementitious materials. The diffusion of ions between the solution in the crack and in the bulk paste is simulated with a transport model. The concentration of ions in the crack can be calculated. As the kinetics of chemical...conference paper 2014

Huang, H. (author), Ye, G. (author), Damidot, D. (author)In this paper, the proposed coupled transport-reaction model adapted to simulate autogenous self-healing in Portland cement paste is validated with the experimental results. The parameters are studied for modelling the dissolution of cement, the diffusion of ions between the solution in the crack and in the bulk paste and the precipitation of...conference paper 2014

(author)Background: In vivo bioluminescence, fluorescence, and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging provide complementary information about biological processes. However, to date these signatures are evaluated separately on individual preclinical systems. In this paper, we introduce a fully integrated bioluminescence-fluorescence...journal article 2014

Schnell, S.K. (author), Skorpa, R. (author), Bedeaux, D. (author), Kjelstrup, S.H. (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author), Simon, J.M. (author)We present a new molecular simulation technique for determining partial molar enthalpies in mixtures of gases and liquids from single simulations, without relying on particle insertions, deletions, or identity changes. The method can also be applied to systems with chemical reactions. We demonstrate our method for binary mixtures of Weeks...journal article 2014

Ozkaramanli, D. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)This paper starts from the proposition that concern conflicts can be powerful starting points for user-centered design processes. Our focus is on the challenge to identify conflicting concerns that are both inspiring and relevant in the context of use, or in the user’s general context of life. First, three main ingredients of concern conflict...conference paper 2014

Sun, R. (author)To increase mission return, utilizing two or more spacecraft instead of one may sometimes be superior. This is especially true when a large spaceborne instrument needs to be created through larger and configurable baselines, such as telescopes and interferometers. However, coordinating the alignment of the individual components of such a...doctoral thesis 2014
