Li, X. (author), Serdijn, W.A. (author), Woestenburg, B.E.M. (author), Bij de Vaate, J.G. (author)This paper demonstrates that a double-loop transformer-feedback power-to-current low noise amplifier, to be implemented in a 0.2 lm GaAs p-HEMT IC process, is able to obtain a noise figure less than 0.8 dB, an input return loss less than -12 dB, a flat voltage-to-current signal transfer of 180 mS, and an input-referred third-order intercept...journal article 2009

Arias-Cuevas, O. (author), Li, Z. (author), Lewis, R. (author)The adhesion (or available friction) in the wheel–rail contact is the most important parameter for the braking and traction operation of rail vehicles. Since the beginning of railway transportation, sanding from the locomotive has been a common practice to enhance the wheel–rail adhesion. In recent years, sanding from electrical multiple units ...journal article 2009

Dekking, M. (author), Don, H. (author)Let F1 and F2 be independent copies of one-dimensional correlated fractal percolation, with almost sure Hausdorff dimensions dimH(F1) and dimH(F2). Consider the following question: does dimH(F1) + dimH(F2) > 1 imply that their algebraic difference F1 ? F2 will contain an interval? The well known Palis conjecture states that ‘generically’ this...journal article 2009

Leal Penados, A. (author), Gielen, M.A. (author), Stappers, P.J. (author), Jongert, T. (author)Health experts are worried about the increase in the number of overweight children and the decrease in activity levels among this age group. This project explores the possibilities of using interactive toys and social interaction in encouraging children to become more physically active. To arrive at the final concept, research was conducted into...journal article 2009

Sarubbi, F. (author), Scholtes, T.L.M. (author), Nanver, L.K. (author)Nanometer-thick amorphous boron (?-B) layers were formed on (100) Si during exposure to diborane (B2H6) in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system, either at atmospheric or reduced pressures, at temperatures down to 500°C. The dependence of the growth mechanism on processing parameters was investigated by analytical techniques, such as...journal article 2009

Fey, A. (author), Levine, L. (author), Peres, Y. (author)We study the abelian sandpile growth model, where n particles are added at the origin on a stable background configuration in Zd . Any site with at least 2d particles then topples by sending one particle to each neighbor. We find that with constant background height h ? 2d ? 2, the diameter of the set of sites that topple has order n1/d. This...journal article 2009

(author), Visser, D. (author)Two neutron based techniques, neutron resonance capture analysis (NRCA) and time-of-flight neutron-diffraction (TOF-ND) have been used to determine the elemental composition and structure of a precious and very well preserved all-metal sword from the Bronze Age. This Buggenum sword was on loan from the National Museum of Antiquities (NMA) in...journal article 2009

Van Bohemen, S.M.C. (author)It is demonstrated that calculations with a physically based model give an accurate description of the start curve of bainite formation in a wide range of steels. The temperature dependence of the overall kinetics, which determines the characteristic C shape of the start curve, is controlled by both the undercooling below the start temperature ...journal article 2009

Amirthalingam, M. (author), Hermans, M.J.M. (author), Zhao, L. (author), Richardson, I.M. (author)A quantitative analysis of retained austenite and nonmetallic inclusions in gas tungsten arc (GTA)–welded aluminum-containing transformation-induced-plasticity (TRIP) steels is presented. The amount of retained austenite in the heat-affected and fusion zones of welded aluminum-containing TRIP steel with different base metal austenite fractions...journal article 2009

Doorn, N. (author)In the last decades increasing attention is paid to the topic of responsibility in technology development and engineering. The discussion of this topic is often guided by questions related to liability and blameworthiness. Recent discussions in engineering ethics call for a reconsideration of the traditional quest for responsibility. Rather than...journal article 2009

Priemus, H. (author)This contribution deals with the impact of the credit crunch on the Dutch housing market and the policy responses of the Dutch government so far. Reinhart and Rogoff have presented an overview of credit crises after WW II: what are the general characteristics and impacts? Also in the Netherlands, banking problems were imported from the US. The...journal article 2009

(author)A combination of techniques to separate and quantify the native proteins associated with a particular transition metal ion from a cellular system has been developed. The procedure involves four steps: (1) labeling of the target proteins with a suitable short-lived radioisotope (suitable isotopes are Cu-64, Cu-67, W-187, Mo-99, Zn-69, Mn-56, Ni...journal article 2009

Dias-da-Costa, D. (author), Alfaiate, J. (author), Sluys, L.J. (author), Julio, E. (author)In this paper, three different approaches used to model strong discontinuities are studied: a new strong embedded discontinuity technique, designated as the discrete strong embedded discontinuity approach (DSDA), introduced in Dias-da-Costa et al. (Eng Fract Mech 76(9):1176–1201, 2009); the generalized finite element method, (GFEM), developed by...journal article 2009
