Stephan, Mikaël (author)European policy makers have established a set of 20-20-20 targets for the year 2020 in the energy sector, goals based on security of supply, competitive markets and sustainability. The 3 key objectives include a 20% reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) and CO2 compared to 1990 levels (and up to 80% by 2050), a 20% improvement in energy efficiency...master thesis 2018

van Tiel, Lars (author)The Dutch housing market is currently dealing with a significant dwelling deficit, which results in the need to accelerate the development of large quantities of dwellings in the urban areas. This thesis studies the redevelopment of inner-city industrial sites into mixed work-residential areas, especially focussing on the collaboration process...master thesis 2018

Koufopoulos, Stefanos (author)The project proposes an architectural sheltering system for transitional use over monuments and excavations sites in the Mediterranean context. The thesis is concerned about the diaspora of archaeological sites and remains in the Mediterranean where many layers of history are partially unearthed and highlighted. Based on a context research, the...master thesis 2018

Izett, J.G. (author), van de Wiel, B.J.H. (author), Baas, P. (author), Bosveld, Fred C. (author)The reduction in visibility that accompanies fog events presents a hazard to human safety and navigation. However, accurate fog prediction remains elusive, with numerical methods often unable to capture the conditions of fog formation, and observational methods having high false-alarm rates in order to obtain high hit rates of prediction. In...journal article 2018

Oosterwegel, Michel (author)Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, is a country in Southeast Asia with a population close to 60 million people, which suffers from underdeveloped infrastructure. With the change of government and restoration of democracy starting from 2011, policy reforms are anticipated leading to large-scale economic development and growth. This growth is...master thesis 2018

Noeker, Matthias (author)In recent years, private entities have joined the race to send humans to the Red Planet. While Mars is well defined as the next frontier for human space flight, little work has been done towards identifying possible settlement sites on its surface. The current site proposals use a bottom-up approach, that is focusing on one settlement site and...master thesis 2018

Marques Arsenio, A. (author), Salim, Iana Câmara (author), Hu, Mingming (author), Matsinhe, Nelson Pedro (author), Scheidegger, Ruth (author), Rietveld, L.C. (author)In Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, nitrate concentrations above 250 mg L??1 in groundwater have been reported. This happens due to the widespread use of latrines and septic tanks that allow for constant infiltration of its content into the soil and eventually to groundwater sources, a situation that is widespread in the Global South and...journal article 2018

(author)The ability of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to convert glucose, even in the presence of oxygen, via glycolysis and the fermentative pathway to ethanol has played an important role in its domestication. Despite the extensive knowledge on these pathways in S. cerevisiae, relatively little is known about their genetic makeup in other...journal article 2018

Luo, S. (author), de Wit, S.I. (author)Opening leftover spaces for the participation of local initiatives is prevalent in current urban design practice. While these cases reanimate the vacant land for diverse public appropriation, little attention is paid to the inherent qualities of each site. As terrain vague in the urban territory and as ‘intervals’ of urban transformation,...conference paper 2018

(author)The separation and purification of light hydrocarbons is challenging in the industry. Recently, a ZJNU-30 metal-organic framework (MOF) has been found to have the potential for adsorption-based separation of olefins and diolefins with four carbon atoms [H. M. Liu et al. Chem. - Eur.

van der Krogt, M.G. (author), Schweckendiek, T. (author), Kok, M. (author)Transformation models are used to infer geotechnical properties from indirect measurements. A site-specific transformation model can be calibrated with direct and indirect measurements from a site. When such a model is used, then spatial variability, measurement errors and statistical uncertainty propagate into the uncertainty of the spatial...journal article 2018
