D'Olivo, P. (author)
Childhood cancer is a disruptive life event that creates high levels of stress and anxiety in families. It turns everyday routines up-side-down, and can block the child’s psychosocial development when families have difficulties to emotionally cope with this potentially traumatic event. D’Olivo developed three interactive objects aimed at...

Zamponi, R. (author)
The interaction of an airfoil with incident turbulence is an important source of aerodynamic noise in numerous applications, such as turbofan engines, cooling systems for automotive and construction industries, high-lift devices on aircraft wings, and landing gear systems. In these instances, turbulence is generally produced by elements that are...

Post­processing has become a major component in movie and image production. This step is no longer a simple cleanup and cutting step, but it involves important manipulations that contribute to the atmosphere of a movie and the perception of a still image. Several movie studios spend a great part of their budget on it, as managing the post...

Ayala Valenzuela, M.A. (author)
This thesis is concerned with fluctuations of interacting particle systems that<br/>enjoy the property of duality. The main contributions of this work are divided<br/>in two main parts. In the first part we study some of the advantages of looking<br/>at the density fluctuation field through the lenses of orthogonal self-dualities. In<br/>the...

This thesis broadens current understanding of how location-based games can promote meaningful social interaction in citizens' own neighbourhoods. It investigates social cohesion and the role of social interaction to its promotion, delves into which requirements users have for playing in their neighbourhood and with its citizens, and takes a...

Sarna, K. (author)
This thesis presents a new method for the continuous observation of aerosol-cloud interactions with ground-based remote sensing instruments. The described method is based on the measurements from UV lidar, radar and radiometer. All of those instruments are capable of obtaining continuous, high-resolution measurements. In order to facilitate its...

Stokkermans, T.C.A. (author)
This research is on the aerodynamics of propellers in interaction. As a propeller is dependent on the flowfield it encounters, any disturbance in that inflow results in changes in loading on the propeller. This can result in propulsive efficiency changes and affect stability through generation of in-plane forces and out-of-plane moments. The...

The German CHAMP, US/German GRACE, and European Space Agency (ESA) GOCE and Swarm Earth Explorer satellites have provided a data set of accelerometer observations allowing the derivation of thermospheric density and wind products for a period spanning more than 15 years. With the advent of highly accurate satellite accelerometer measurements,...

Zhang, W. (author)
The assessment of the potentially destructive impacts of subaqueous landslides on offshore pipelines is required when the pipeline route passes through zones with a risk of mass movements. Therefore, quantifying and evaluating the ultimate load/pressure acting on the pipeline is one of the key factors in geotechnical safety design of the...

Gonzalez Acosta, J.L. (author)
The material point method (MPM) is a numerical technique which has been demonstrated to be suitable for simulating numerous mechanical problems, particularly large deformation problems, while conserving mass,momentum and energy. MPM discretises material into points and solves the governing equations on a background mesh which discretises the...

Greidanus, A.J. (author)
This thesis describes the investigation of the dynamics of turbulent shear flows over non-smooth surfaces. The research was conducted in two parts, related to the experimental facility used in combination with the applied functional surface. The first part describes the experiments of a turbulent Taylor-Couette flow over a...

Ding, D. (author)
Social skills are often an integral part of functioning in modern society, and therefore, in the past decades, social skills training has received considerable research attraction. Various physical and digital approaches have been developed to improve people’s performance in social interaction. Among these approaches, social skills training...

Microbial fermentations are a key process in naturally and man-made ecosystems. Microbial fermentations play a key role in creating and digesting our food and they are useful in designing bioprocesses that can produce biogas, biofuels, bioplastics, and many other functional molecules (Chapter 1). Furthermore, studying the competition and...

Atmospheric aerosol particles are solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere. They are directly emitted into the atmosphere or they are formed via the oxidation of gaseous precursors. Understanding the behavior of particles in the atmosphere is particularly important because they can affect the Earth’s climate, visibility, air quality...

Bordogna, G. (author)
The shipping industry is currently under pressure to reduce its pollutant emissions and, thus, to alleviate its negative impact on the environment and human health. With this aim, in the last years, the International Maritime Organization issued significant measures to improve the energy efficiency of ships (see the Energy Efficiency Design...

Bertocchi, F. (author)
Flows in rod bundles are common to many industrial applications such as heat exchangers or some types of nuclear reactors. The core of many classes of nuclear reactors can be easily sketched as a bundle of rods, the fuel pins, inmmersed in an axial ow of coolant that removes the heat produced by the fission reaction. Coupling this geometry to an...

Railway catenary is the main infrastructure that delivers electric power for train operation. It is a structure commonly constructed along the railway line with contact wires suspended above the track. One or multiple pantographs mounted on the roof of a moving train collects electric current from the catenary through the sliding contact with a...

Sau, F. (author)
In this thesis, we study scaling and detailed properties of a class of conservative interacting particle systems. In particular, in the first part we derive the hydrodynamic equation for the symmetric exclusion process in presence of dynamic random environment. The second part of the thesis focuses on a detailed property of conservative particle...
