Shi, H. (author)Compared to thermoset composites, thermoplastic composites are drawing more and more attention by aircraft industries not only due to their excellent material properties but also due to their potentials to reduce cycle time and structure cost by using low-cost manufacturing technologies such as welding. Resistance welding has been regarded as...doctoral thesis 2014

(author), Bals, S. (author), Vanmaekelbergh, D. (author), Zandbergen, H.W. (author), Van Huis, M.A. (author)In this work, we investigate the thermal evolution of CdSe–CdS–ZnS core–multishell quantum dots (QDs) in situ using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Starting at a temperature of approximately 250 °C, Zn diffusion into inner layers takes place together with simultaneous evaporation of particularly Cd and S. As a result of this...journal article 2014

Immers, B. (author), Taale, H. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Na een lange periode gekenmerkt door suburbanisatie staat de stad weer volop in de belangstelling. Het inwonertal neemt weer toe en vooral jongeren vestigen zich in de stad. Deze ontwikkeling heeft grote gevolgen voor de stedelijke mobiliteit. Welke rol moet en kan stedelijk verkeersmanagement spelen bij het faciliteren van de vraag naar...conference paper 2014

Van Goeverden, C.D. (author)De ontwikkeling van de treindienst tussen de Randstad en de Vlaamse Ruit is een pijnpunt in vervoerland. Met het oog op een verbetering van onder meer deze treindienst werd de HSL-Zuid aangelegd, maar ondanks of zelfs dankzij deze lijn is de kwaliteit van de verbinding juist verslechterd. De paper begint met een historisch overzicht van de...conference paper 2014

Hedlund-de Witt, A. (author)The concept of sustainable development does not articulate what needs to be sustained, developed, or how, and is consequently intersubjective and intercultural. I therefore argue that it is essential to consider different worldviews when discussing sustainable development, and I offer broad, provisional suggestions as to how we can begin doing...journal article 2014

(author)Van Eekelen et al., 2012a, Van Eekelen et al., 2012b and Van Eekelen et al., 2013) have introduced an analytical model for the design of the geosynthetic reinforcement (GR) in a piled embankment. This paper further validates this model with measurements from seven full-scale tests and four series of scaled model experiments. Most of these...journal article 2014

Calvert, S.C. (author)Het is al langer bekend dat onzekerheid een belangrijke rol speelt in het verkeer net als in de wereld om ons heen. Dit geldt zowel op een strategische lange termijn basis als op de operationele basis in verkeersdynamiek. Er geldt echter een onbekendheid en misschien zelfs een onwil om voldoende rekening te houden met onzekerheden. Een...conference paper 2014

Broere, W. (author)Face stability of microtunnelling TBMs is an important aspect for a safe and controlled project execution. Lack of proper face support can lead to sudden collapse with resulting large settlements. Guidelines for minimal and maximal support pressures in most codes do not take the infiltration of bentonite suspension in coarser soils into account....journal article 2014

Gkorou, D. (author)In online communities, users frequently interact with strangers in order to buy and sell products, watch videos, educating themselves, and playing games. Establishing trust among strangers is essential for the functionality of these communities but challenging, as well. Online reputation systems effectively establish trust among strangers by...doctoral thesis 2014

Ma, L. (author), Naud, B. (author), Roekaerts, D.J.E.M. (author)MILD Combustion, also known as flameless combustion, is attracting wide scientific interest due to its potential of high efficiency and low NOx emission. This paper focuses on the numerical modeling of one of the ethanol spray flame cases from the Delft Spray-in-Hot-Coflow (DSHC) burner, which has been used to study MILD oxidation of liquid...conference paper 2014

Yu, Q. (author), Wang, Y. (author), Gao, J. (author), Gao, S. (author), Flemming, B. (author)Traditionally, vertical circulation (induced by gravity circulation and tidal straining), tidal pumping, and resuspension are suggested as the major processes for the formation and maintenance of the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM). Due to strong mixing, tidal pumping is considered as the dominating process in macrotidal estuaries. To analyze...journal article 2014

Sheikh, A.H. (author)The Helmholtz equation is the simplest possible model for the wave propagation. Perhaps this is the reason, despite denying traditional iterative methods like Krylov sub-space methods, Multigrids, etcetera, numerical solution of the Helmholtz equation has been an interesting and abundant problem to researchers since years. The work in this...doctoral thesis 2014

The inability to provide high-quality dynamic OD demand estimates makes prediction with simulation models simply impossible, irrespective of how well these...doctoral thesis 2014

Wang, C. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author), Babuska, R. (author)Learning object affordances and manipulation skills is essential for developing cognitive service robots. We propose an active affordance learning approach in continuous state and action spaces without manual discretization of states or exploratory motor primitives. During exploration in the action space, the robot learns a forward model to...conference paper 2014
