Aalberse, Max (author)During the COVID-19 pandemic people living close to the airport got accustomed to less flights, and therefore less noise disturbance. Now the amount of traffic is increasing again and so is the noise disturbance. For this research specifically the optimizing task of distributing of arriving aircraft over the IAF is addressed, as often the...master thesis 2022

Xu, Yaowen (author), Wan, Chaojun (author), Liang, X. (author), Yang, Hongyu (author)This paper employs PVA, PE, steel fibers, as well as the hybrids of two of the three fibers to reinforce alkali-activated slag (AAS) material, aiming to prepare strain-hardening and clinker-free composites. The flexural strength, compressive strength, uniaxial tensile performance of the composites and bond behavior between fibers and the...journal article 2022

Olgiati, Matteo (author)Salts of trivalent cerium (Ce(III)) are known to successfully hinder localised corrosion phenomena typical of aerospace aluminium alloys by forming a thin passivation layer on top of the corrosion-active intermetallic phases. This is generally observed to happen when the alloy is under immersion conditions in a solution containing Ce3+ ions....master thesis 2020

De Meester, Hadewich (author)Research to analyse and/or develop novel materials and techniques is necessary to address competition and safeguard craftmanship in shipbuilding. In this master thesis, two new approaches to reduce the production and maintenance costs are studied: {metal foam core, metal face sheet} sandwich materials and corner adstir fillet stationary shoulder...master thesis 2019

Guillaume, Nicolas (author)The taxi procedure at an airport refers to the surface movement of the aircraft between the parking position and the runway or vice versa. Nowadays, aircraft tend to taxi with the main engines, even if they are not optimized for it. Using an alternative suitable taxiing system that fulfills the requirements of the taxi procedure could be a...master thesis 2018

Nedeljković, Marija (author), Zuo, Y. (author), Arbi, Kamel (author), Ye, G. (author)In this paper, carbonation resistance of alkali-activated slag (AAS) pastes exposed to natural and accelerated conditions up to 1 year was investigated. Two aspects of carbonation mechanism were evaluated. The first was the potential carbonation of the main binding phases in finely powdered AAS pastes. The second was the reactivity and...journal article 2018

Prinsse, Silke (author)Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) consumption has grown nearly exponentially in the last twenty years. OPC has become the highest-volume manufactured product on the planet. Production of OPC is energy-intensive, consumes unrenewable natural resources and is one of the primary contributors to global warming (accounting for at least 5-8% of worldwide...master thesis 2017

Mendoza Martinez, A.A. (author)Virtual Sectorization (ViS) is proposed as a solution to cope with the exponential growth of data traffic in mobile networks. Through the use of an Active Antenna System (AAS), two vertically separated beams (serving two distinct cells) are created within the original coverage area of a macro-cell. One of these cells, referred to as virtual cell...master thesis 2015

Van Raaphorst, W. (author), De Jonge, V.N. (author), Dijkhuizen, D. (author), Frederiks, B. (author)Policy plans and subsequent measures to reduce nutrient concentrations in coastal waters require realistic historical information on nutrient concentrations. The main goal of the present report was to develop and apply a practical, but scientifically sound strategy to assess the background concentrations of nutrients in the Dutch Wadden Sea....report 2000
