Static Recrystallization of austenite after initial deformation of a Ni-30Fe alloy

The Static Recrystallization (SRX) phenomenon of austenite in C-Mn steels have a large impact on the final mechanical properties of the steel. However, the austenite recrystallization kinetics are difficult to investigate experimentally, due to solid-state phase transformations during cooling to room temperature. The best model alloys to examine...

Is there room for another hedonic model?: The advantages of the GAMLSS approach in real estate

Hedonic modelling is essential for institutional investors, researchers and urban policymakers in order to identify the factors affecting the value and future development of rents over time and space. While statistical models in this field have advanced substantially over the last decades, new statistical approaches have emerged expanding the...

Electrification of rural areas: Optimal microgrid energy management

Shipping and shipbuilding scenario evaluations through integration of maritime and macroeconomic models

This research focusses on the use of consistent scenarios to help ship owners, banks and other parties with an interest the maritime business get a better grip on the future. Three levels of detail can be distinguished for the maritime industry. The macroeconomic level is the highest and focusses on the behaviour of countries and the trade...

Sustainable conjunctive use of surface and groundwater: Modeling on the basin scale

Farmers in the Indus basin, Pakistan have generally switched to groundwater for additional water supplies due to the irregular supply of irrigation water; currently over 50% of the agricultural land in the basin is at least partially irrigated by tube-wells. These wells pump fresh groundwater, which essentially is the result of massive leakage...
