Tang, Z. (author), Leus, G. (author)In this paper, we present a single-carrier transceiver for rapidly time-varying channels, where the equalization step is implemented in the frequency domain. When the channel abides with both fast fading and severe inter-block interference, our equalizer relies on a band approximation of the frequencydomain channel matrix to maintain low...journal article 2008

Van Veenstra, A.F. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Klievink, B. (author)Joining-up is high on the e-government agenda as this is expected to improve service delivery to citizens and businesses. It requires public and private organizations to cooperate with each other within networks that are formed around public services that cross the boundaries of organizations. Cross-organizational processes in such a network are...journal article 2009

Komakech, H.C. (author), Van der Zaag, P. (author), Koppen, B. (author)Water transfers to growing cities in sub-Sahara Africa, as elsewhere, seem inevitable. But absolute water entitlements in basins with variable supply may seriously affect many water users in times of water scarcity. This paper is based on research conducted in the Pangani river basin, Tanzania. Using a framework drawing from a theory of water...journal article 2012

Nadarajah, N. (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author), Raziq, N. (author)The Chinese BeiDou system (BDS), having different types of satellites, is an important addition to the ever growing system of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). It consists of Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites, Inclined Geosynchronous Satellite Orbit (IGSO) satellites and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites. This paper...journal article 2013

Zhang, B. (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author)Care should be taken to minimize adverse impact of receiver differential code biases (DCBs) on global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-derived ionospheric parameters. It is therefore of importance to ascertain the intrinsic characteristics of receiver DCBs, preferably in the context of new-generation GNSS. In this contribution, we present a...journal article 2015

Viseu Cardoso, Rodrigo (author)Within the debates about the socio-economic advantages of cohesive urban regions, several barriers to institutional integration are said to exist, especially when a metropolitan government is absent and integration relies on inter-municipal cooperation. Some barriers are associated with different urban region structures, such as the...journal article 2016

Zheng, H. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Lodewijks, G. (author)Large ports are seeking innovative logistical ways to improve their competitiveness world-wide. This article proposes waterborne AGVs, inspired by conventional automated guided vehicles and autonomous surface vessels, for transport over water. A predictive path following with arrival time awareness controller is proposed for such waterborne AGVs...journal article 2016

Walstra, D.J.R. (author), Wesselman, Daan (author), van der Deyl, Eveline (author), Ruessink, BG (author)Inter-annual bar dynamics may vary considerably across sites with very similar environmental settings. In particular, the variability of the bar cycle return period (Tr) may differ by a factor of 3 to 4. To date, data studies are only partially successful in explaining differences in Tr, establishing at best weak correlations to local...journal article 2016

(author)We demonstrate an analytical method to optimize the stoichiometry and thickness of multilayer silicon oxide films in order to achieve the highest density of non-touching and closely spaced silicon nanocrystals after annealing. The probability of a nanocrystal nearest-neighbor distance within a limited range is calculated using the...journal article 2016

Niaounakis, T.K. (author), Blank, J.L.T. (author)Inter-municipal cooperation is increasingly popular in European countries. Saving cost is a key motivation. This paper analyses the relation between inter-municipal cooperation and cost efficiency among Dutch municipal tax departments between 2005 and 2012. Motivated by the notion that cost savings are ascribed to scale economies, the...journal article 2017

Mahieu, R.L.P. (author), van Eck, Nees Jan (author), van Putten, D.C. (author), van den Hoven, M.J. (author)Our lives are increasingly intertwined with the digital realm, and with new technology, new ethical problems emerge. The academic field that addresses these problems—which we tentatively call ‘digital ethics’—can be an important intellectual resource for policy making and regulation. This is why it is important to understand how the new...journal article 2018

Haghighi Talab, A. (author), Scholten, V.E. (author), van Beers, Cees (author)Organizations collaborate with external actors in order to acquire knowledge resources they cannot develop internally for economic and/or technical reasons. Mode 2 and Triple Helix models have examined the role of different organizational types in collaborative creation and knowledge use. This paper is an empirical investigation on whether...journal article 2018

Becker, Felix (author), Danaf, Mazen (author), Song, Xiang (author), Atasoy, B. (author), Ben-Akiva, Moshe (author)Estimating discrete choice models on panel data allows for the estimation of preference heterogeneity in the sample. While the Logit Mixture model with random parameters is mostly used to account for variation across individuals, preferences may also vary across different choice situations of the same individual. Up to this point, Logit...journal article 2018
