Roupioz, L.F.S. (author), Nerry, F. (author), Jia, L. (author), Menenti, M. (author)Several methods currently exist to efficiently correct topographic effects on the radiance measured by satellites. Most of those methods use topographic information and satellite data at the same spatial resolution. In this study, the 30 m spatial resolution data of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) from ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal...journal article 2014

(author), Van Leeuwen, T.G. (author)Background and purpose — Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a light-based imaging technique suitable for depiction of thin tissue layers such as articular cartilage. Quantification of results and direct comparison with a reference standard is needed to confirm the role of OCT in cartilage evaluation. Materials and methods — Goat talus...journal article 2014

Geldermans, R.J. (author)Multiple system-based concepts exist to analyse and manage urban throughput of resource flows, examples are Urban Metabolism, Industrial Ecology and Energy Potential Mapping. Common threads in these propositions are fundamental principles valid in nature, notably homeostasis and thermodynamics. Those and likeminded concepts are valuable links in...conference paper 2014

Van Heck, B. (author), Mi, S. (author), Akhmerov, A.R. (author)We show how the superconducting phase difference in a Josephson junction may be used to split the Kramers degeneracy of its energy levels and to remove all the properties associated with time-reversal symmetry. The superconducting phase difference is known to be ineffective in two-terminal short Josephson junctions, where irrespective of the...journal article 2014

Ali, Y.S.A. (author)Population growth in the Blue Nile Basin has led to fast land-use changes from forest to agricultural land, which resulted in speeding up the soil erosion processes producing highly negative impacts on the local soil fertility and agricultural productivity. The eroded sediment is transported downstream by water and sinks in the lower basin where...doctoral thesis 2014

Hiller, C. (author), Hasselaar, E. (author), Gervind, P. (author)The general goal of tenant involvement is to ensure that retrofitting projects are successful not only from a technical point of view but also from a social perspective. When possible, strategies should be included to reward users for energy efficient behaviour. Energy monitoring and feedback are tools in support of energy savings. But how do...conference paper 2014

Visscher, H.J. (author), Meijer, F.M. (author)Considerations of climate change, but also other political and economic reasons urge for the reduction of use of fossil fuels and the minimization of environmental impact by the built environment. The energy saving potential of the building stock is large and considered to be the most cost efficient sector to contribute to the CO2 reduction...conference paper 2014

Bolsterlee, B. (author)Insight into the mechanical interaction between muscles and bones can be of great help to understand normal function of the human body and to improve diagnoses and treatments of musculoskeletal disorders. This research presented in this thesis aims to improve the predictions of a musculoskeletal model of the shoulder and elbow (the Delft...doctoral thesis 2014

Wang, M. (author)This thesis deals with a model predictive control framework for control design of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, where car-following tasks are under control. The framework is applied to design several autonomous and cooperative controllers and to examine the controller properties at the microscopic level and the resulting traffic flow...doctoral thesis 2014

Fan, C. (author)With the introduction of new technologies, surgical procedures have been varying from free access in open surgery towards limited access in minimal invasive surgery. During such procedures, surgeons have to manoeuver the instruments from outside the patient while looking at the monitor. Long and slender instruments are developed that can insert...doctoral thesis 2014

Savija, B. (author)Chloride induced corrosion of reinforcing steel is recognized as the most common deterioration mechanism affecting reinforced concrete structures. As such, it has been in focus of research for more than thirty years. Numerous studies of chloride ingress, corrosion initiation, and corrosion propagation have been conducted. Most studies of...doctoral thesis 2014

(author)To assess the impact of atmospheric aerosols on health, climate, and air traffic, aerosol properties must be measured with fine spatial and temporal sampling. This can be achieved by actively involving citizens and the technology they own to form an atmospheric measurement network. We establish this new measurement strategy by developing and...journal article 2014

Hunziker, J.W. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Slob, E.C. (author)In an inversion for the subsurface conductivity distribution using frequency-domain Controlled-Source Electromagnetic data, various amounts of horizontal components may be included. We investigate which combination of components are best suited to invert for a vertical transverse isotropic (VTI) subsurface. We do this by probing the...conference paper 2014

(author)Recent work on autofocusing with the Marchenko equation has shown how the Green's function for a virtual source in the subsurface can be obtained from reflection data. The response to the virtual source is the Green's function from the location of the virtual source to the surface. The Green's function is retrieved using only the reflection...conference paper 2014

On the focusing conditions in time-reversed acoustics, seismic interferometry, and Marchenko imagingWapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Van der Neut, J.R. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Vasconcelos, I. (author), Van Manen, D.J. (author), Ravasi, M. (author)Despite the close links between the fields of time-reversed acoustics, seismic interferometry and Marchenko imaging, a number of subtle differences exist. This paper reviews the various focusing conditions of these methods, the causality/acausality aspects of the corresponding focusing wavefields, and the requirements with respect to...conference paper 2014

Minato, S. (author), Ghose, R. (author)Hydraulic properties of a fractured reservoir are often controlled by large fractures. In order to seismically detect and characterize them, a high-resolution imaging method is necessary. We apply a non-linear imaging condition to image fractures, considered as non-welded interfaces. We derive the imaging condition from the general correlation...conference paper 2014

Boullenger, B. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author)Seismic interferometry applied to surface reflection data (with source and receivers at the surface) allows to retrieve virtual-source gathers at the position of receivers, where no source was shot. As a result of the crosscorrelation of all primary and multiple reflections, the virtual-source gathers contain retrieved physical reflections as...conference paper 2014
