A method for identifying protein complexes with the features of joint co-localization and joint co-expression in static PPI networks

Identifying protein complexes in static protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks is essential for understanding the underlying mechanism of biological processes. Proteins in a complex are co-localized at the same place and co-expressed at the same time. We propose a novel method to identify protein complexes with the features of joint co...

University funding instruments: an assessment of the Delft Enterprises case study

Development and application of helium-filled soap bubbles: For large-scale PIV experiments in aerodynamics

A new type of tracer is making its entry in the scenario of wind-tunnel measurements: helium-filled soap bubbles (HFSB). The present work discusses the main fluid-dynamic and optical properties of HFSB to evaluate their use for quantitative measurements in aerodynamic experiments.<br/>In the past three decades, particle image velocimetry (PIV)...

Is Equity Crowdfunding for you?: An assessment tool for high-tech start-up entrepreneurs & recommendations to platforms

Many start-ups face difficulty raising sufficient funds at the early stage of their businesses. Traditionally, entrepreneurs raise capital from friends and family, angel investment, venture capital or bank loans. However, with the development of Internet platforms, alternative finance methods have arisen. Entrepreneurs are starting to look for...

Drinking water pellet softening: prediction the terminal settling velocity of natural particles

Natural particles are frequently applied in drinking water treatment in up-flow fluidisation processes. Additionally, sedimentation processes are applied to clarify water and to concentrate solids. To estimate the terminal settling velocity of single solid particles in a liquid system, a comprehensive collection of equations is available. For...

Modeling the single seed oxygen consumption of germinating seeds

The rate of oxygen consumption by germinating seeds is considered to be one of the promising parameters for monitoring the seed status and a candidate for predicting germination and seed vigor. Nowadays, the single seed oxygen consumption patterns can be measured on a big scale and at a detailed time resolution using a Q2 machine. However,...

Influence of Seed Surface Pre-Processing on Crystal Growth Behavior in Cooling Batch Crystallization

Product quality and yield of pharmaceuticals produced by traditional industrial seeded batch cooling crystallization-operations is subject to large fluctuations as a consequence of seed surface quality. In this research, effects of seed pre-treatment by dry- and wet-milling were investigated on subsequent performance in crystallization behavior...

South Chicago House of Jazz

Development of 'seed-planning' style of urban planning, and the design for a house for music and popular culture in South Chicago.

An X-ray tomographic investigation into the effects of compressive shear on analogues to charred seeds embedded in archaeological sand

By signing the Valletta Treaty, several countries have obliged themselves to save archaeological heritage sites and fund relevant research. UNDERSTRESS is a proposal for funding which does research and provides data to predict damage done to such archaeological site by construction of linear infrastructure. As a preliminary study this BSc thesis...

The behaviour of artificial archaeological remains during a one-dimensional compression test

The Dutch subsoil contains a lot of archaeological remains that need to be preserved for future generations. Until now, it is not possible to predict if these remains will stay intact under the pressure of a manmade structure like an embankment. The goal of this research is to investigate the behaviour of assemblies of artificial archaeological...

Grinded Dutch calcite as seeding material in the pellet softening process

Calcium carbonate pellets are produced as a by-product in the softening process. In The Netherlands, these pellets are applied as a raw material in several industrial and agricultural processes. The sand grain inside the pellet hinders the application in some high potential market segments such as paper and glass. Earlier work showed that it is...

Incentivizing Seeding In BitTorrent - Indirect Interaction as an Incentive to Seed

BitTorrent has turned into the most popular P2P file sharing protocol and is used for various purposes such as Video on demand and Media Streaming. The fundamental problem with P2P networks in general is that quality of service highly depends on altruistic resource sharing by participating peers. Many peers freeride on the good intentions of...

Development of a task-based design approach for solution crystallization processes

Crystallization is historically one of the most important separation and product formation technologies in chemical industry. The future impact of crystallization is expected to increase as new high-added value products are often in crystalline form and need to comply with increasingly stringent product quality requirements. This calls for...

Model-Based Control of Industrial Batch Crystallizers: Experiments on Enhanced Controllability by Seeding Actuation

Crystallization is one of the oldest separation and purification techniques. Batch crystallizers are widely used in production of fine chemicals, food ingredients, specialty chemicals, and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Control of the crystalline material properties is a challenging task due to complexity and nonlinearity of batch...

Tribler Download Core Improvement

BitTorrent is a popular peer-to-peer file sharing protocol. From a user’s perspective, it is important that a BitTorrent client downloads the files as fast as possible. The socially enhanced BitTorrent client called Tribler – from the Delft University of Technology and the Vrije Universiteit – was presumed to be lacking in speed. This...
