de Hoog, E. (author)Hydraulic transport pipelines are used in dredging, (wet) mining and deep sea mining. These pump-pipeline systems are typically designed using steady-state principles. However, recent cases have shown that steady-state design does not always guarantee stable pipelines. Transients like self-amplifying density waves have shown to be able to...doctoral thesis 2024

Mithaiwala, Hiteshree (author)In developing countries with increased industrialization, much research is carried out in order to recover the maximum ammonium from the environment. One of the methods to recover ammonium is Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis (BPMED), a chemical-free technology that enables recovery and purification of the corresponding acid and base by the...master thesis 2024

Wilgenburg, Gert (author)The use of non-destructive tests for assessing the material status of concrete structures in the Netherlands remains relatively uncommon, despite the growing demand for the preservation of existing structures under the VenR policy of Rijkswaterstaat. Skepticism towards NDTs is reflected in the scarcity of documented case studies in publicly...master thesis 2024

van den Bogaard, Fenna (author)The origin of the Martian dichotomy is subject to question and no substantial evidence exists. Some surface and interior features that are not visible in, e.g., topography data, can show up in gravity data. Therefore, this research inverts gravity data to find a crustal and mantle global density model. Previous research performed a one-layer...master thesis 2024

Zhou, S. (author), Nijhuis, S. (author), Dijkstra, R.J. (author)In the inevitable high-density urbanization process, existing urban green space (UGS) design approaches are ineffective in creating more green areas and combining multidisciplinary design principles to provide balanced sets of ecosystem services (ESs). This paper proposes a systematic framework for UGS design in the context of high-density urban...journal article 2024

Hladczuk, N.A. (author), van den IJssel, J.A.A. (author), Kodikara, T. (author), Siemes, C. (author), Visser, P.N.A.M. (author)Uncertainties in radiation pressure modelling play a significant role in the thermospheric density and crosswind observations derived from the GRACE-FO accelerometer, especially during low solar activity. Under such conditions, the radiation pressure acceleration matches the magnitude of the aerodynamic acceleration along the track and...journal article 2024

Gill, E.K.A. (author), Akos, D. M. (author)This paper proposes a novel concept of using highly efficient Snapshot Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers to provide precise position fixes of single or multiple satellites in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) to improve upper atmospheric modeling and thus contribute to superior space situational awareness (SSA). While tracking of LEO...journal article 2024

Groot, D.J. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Conventional Air Traffic Control is still predominantly being done by human Air Traffic Controllers, however, as the traffic density increases, the workload of the controllers increases as well. Especially for the area of unmanned aviation, driven by the rise in drones, having human controllers might become unfeasible. One of the methods that...journal article 2024

Mr. Casini, F. (author), Giardina', C. (author), Redig, F.H.J. (author)We study the density fluctuations at equilibrium of the multi-species stirring process, a natural multi-type generalization of the symmetric (partial) exclusion process. In the diffusive scaling limit, the resulting process is a system of infinite-dimensional Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes that are coupled in the noise terms. This shows that at...journal article 2024
