Kuijer, L. (author), De Jong, A. (author)Heating of dwellings forms a significant portion of societies energy use and is increasing. One way of approaching the problem from a sustainable design point of view is to offer thermal comfort in a more energy efficient way. However, the idea of offering comfort to passive receptors (i.e. people) has been argued to be problematic for energy...conference paper 2010

Van Doren, J.F.M. (author)The demand for petroleum is expected to increase in the coming decades, while the production of petroleum from subsurface reservoirs is becoming increasingly complex. To meet the demand petroleum reservoirs should be operated more efficiently. Physics-based petroleum reservoir models that describe the flow in subsurface porous media can play an...doctoral thesis 2010

Vekerdy, Z. (author), Su, B. (author), Menenti, M. (author), Swinnen, E. (author), Painho, M. (author), Fernandez, D. (author)Water security has become one of the most important challenges in the sustainable development of Africa, but only limited reliable information is available on the use and availability of water to support adequate planning and management of water resources. Data acquired from space can contribute to meet the urgent information need. But to...conference paper 2010

Winsemius, H.C. (author)Hydrological models at river basin scale are needed to predict floods, droughts, available water, and effects of future changes, caused by climate and land cover change. However, in many river basins, there is not enough data available to construct these models. Fortunately, it becomes more and more attractive to use earth observations from...doctoral thesis 2009

Delfgaauw, S. (author), Buykx, S.M. (author), Bosch, J.W. (author)The new North/South metro line in Amsterdam contains several stations, some of which with an excavation depth of 30 m below surface. The design of these station boxes is very much determined by the adjacent historic buildings, high water table and the relatively soft soil. A lot of effort is put into minimising the settlements of buildings with...conference paper 2009

Khan, S. (author), Sabanovic, A. (author), Nergiz, A.O. (author)In this paper, the design of a discrete-time sliding-mode controller based on Lyapunov theory is presented along with a robust disturbance observer and is applied to a piezostage for high-precision motion. A linear model of a piezostage was used with nominal parameters to compensate the disturbance acting on the system in order to achieve...journal article 2009

Lendek, Z. (author), Babuska, R. (author), De Schutter, B. (author)A large class of nonlinear systems can be well approximated by Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy models with linear or affine consequents. It is well known that the stability of these consequent models does not ensure the stability of the overall fuzzy system. Therefore, several stability conditions have been developed for TS fuzzy systems. We study a...journal article 2009

Zandvliet, M.J. (author), Van Doren, J.F.M. (author), Bosgra, O.H. (author), Jansen, J.D. (author), Van den Hof, P.M.J. (author)Over the past few years, more and more systems and control concepts have been applied in reservoir engineering, such as optimal control, Kalman filtering, and model reduction. The success of these applications is determined by the controllability, observability, and identifiability properties of the reservoir at hand. The first contribution of...journal article 2008

Delrieu, G. (author)This report summarizes the work done by the meteorological team of the TU Dresden within the FLOODsite Task 15 Radar and satellite observation of storm rainfall. The aim of this Task was the development of a radar and satellite Structured Algorithm System (SAS) for quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) at the space and timescales of...report 2008

Anselmino, E. (author)Despite the importance of grain boundary migration during recrystallisation in metals, the details of the mechanism are not well known and there are few direct and accurate experimental observations. The main scope of this thesis is therefore to study the local grain boundary motion in an Al-Mn alloy and observe its interaction with obstacles in...doctoral thesis 2007

Louwersheimer, W.F. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Olthof, J. (author)During the construction of the first Dutch offshore wind farm prototype measurements were performed. These measurements were aimed to monitor the behaviour of the granular filter layer of the scour protection around the mono-piles upon which the wind turbines are founded. These measurements were compared to scale model test results and...conference paper 2007

Zijlstra, H. (author)The built environment is continuously changing and such changes are particularly important when regenerating buildings. These changes add something to existing buildings and make new programmes possible. The existing buildings - history - determine continuity and form a clear additional, time-dependent layer. In general, the large number of...doctoral thesis 2006

Visser, P.N.A.M. (author), Sneeuw, N. (author), Gerlach, C. (author)A fast iterative method for gravity field determination from low Earth satellite orbit coordinates has been developed and implemented successfully. The method is based on energy conservation and avoids problems related to orbit dynamics and initial state. In addition, the particular geometry of a repeat orbit is exploited by using a very...journal article 2003

Odijk, D. (author)In many geodetic (surveying) applications positions of points in the terrain need to be determined with high precision (cm-accuracy or even better). The Global Positioning System (GPS) is very suitable for this purpose. High positioning accuracy is in principle feasible when a relative measurement setup is used and in the processing procedure...doctoral thesis 2002
