Jespersen, B. (author)In his 2000 book Logical Properties Colin McGinn argues that predicates denote properties rather than sets or individuals. I support the thesis, but show that it is vulnerable to a type-incongruity objection, if properties are (modelled as) functions, unless a device for extensionalizing properties is added. Alternatively, properties may be...journal article 2008

De Jong, H.M. (author)This study focuses on the processes through which the rules and regulations that govern European electricity markets - and inherently, their integration process - are established. So far, European policy makers have largely followed a 'trial-and-error' approach to finding an appropriate regulatory mode (process) for dealing effectively with...doctoral thesis 2009

Koenderink-Ketelaars, N.J.J.P. (author)This thesis focusses on the modelling of knowledge-intensive computer vision tasks. Knowledge-intensive tasks are tasks that require a high level of expert knowledge to be performed successfully. Such tasks are generally performed by a task expert. Task experts have a lot of experience in performing their task and can be a valuable source of...doctoral thesis 2010

Cruz, P.J.S. (author), Veer, F.A. (author), Carvalho, P.L.L. (author)The application of glass in contemporary architecture explores perceptual phenomenon that intentionally change the way we experience space. SANAA'S recent work uses glass in a radical way, proposing a renewed approach to transparency. The Toledo Glass Pavilion, with most spaces defined by glass walls, presents an intense visual experience. The...conference paper 2010

Snoek, M. (author), Safaya, S. (author), Simili, E. (author)Current levels of consumption have pushed the global eco-system towards the brink that is irreversible damage, threatening various interconnected natural domains. Companies have replaced their humanity for assembly-line workers with dismally low wages and stressful working conditions to pursue profits. For these reasons it is imperative to...conference paper 2010

Bolman, B.F.A. (author)Within thin-film silicon solar cells, the so-called Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) plays an important role. The optimization of TCOs is a very meticulous process since these thin layers not only need to be both highly transparent and conductive, but are also used for light management; that is manipulating the path of the light through the...master thesis 2010

Boessenkool, H. (author)An tele-operation, haptic feedback from the remote environment to the human is often limited, which has been shown to negatively influence the performance and required time of tasks. The conventional research focus is on improving the quality of the haptic feedback (transparency), which may have led to significant improvement, but is still...master thesis 2011

Ouwerkerk, E. (author)In the world of structural engineering glass is an innovative material. Compared to other conventional structural materials like concrete, steel and timber, it is especially the transparency property that makes it a valued material. Due to the increasing demand for transparency in contemporary architecture, much more structural components as...master thesis 2011

Jelic, M.J. (author)1. The purpose of the report is to investigate the transparency status in the gas systems and markets of Mediterranean countries, and to monitor the guidelines and recommendations on transparency contained in the MEDREG of Good Practice (GGP). The results of this analysis are presented in the report. 2. The purpose of this report is to give the...master thesis 2011

Van Oers, B.J. (author)Naval architects often say that every ship is a compromise between many conflicting requirements. This widely-held belief immediately raises the question as to what kind of ship and, therefore, what kind of compromise, would suit the ship owner’s interest best. The approach presented in this thesis aims to improve the early stage design process...doctoral thesis 2011

De Graaff, M. (author)Transparent building appeals to imagination. The availability of glass in all shapes and sizes is continuously increasing; architects and engineers thankfully make use of the given opportunities. But glass has also some specific disadvantages, as it’s extreme brittleness. Luckily more materials are available that offer the desired transparency;...master thesis 2012

Jäger, K. (author)Nano-textured interfaces between two media of different refractive indices scatter light. The angular distribution and the intensity of the scattered light are deter- mined by the geometry of the nano-textures and the difference of the refractive indices of the two media. Thin-film silicon solar cells (TFSSC), which convert sunlight directly...doctoral thesis 2012

Doulkari, A. (author)The research is focusing on the development of strategies to accommodate the structural design of a transparent all – glass façade. This façade will be designed for one of the commissioned projects of OMA. Through the research it will be attempted to organize and systemize all the different aspects that one must consider when designing with...master thesis 2013

Villacorte, L.O. (author)Seawater desalination is rapidly growing in terms of installed capacity (~80 million m3/day in 2013), plant size and global application. An emerging threat to this technology is the seasonal proliferation of microscopic algae in seawater known as algal blooms. Such blooms have caused operational problems in seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plants...doctoral thesis 2014

(author)Post-deposition annealing by ultra-short laser pulses can modify the optical properties of SnO2 thin films by means of thermal processing. Industrial grade SnO2 films exhibited improved optical properties after picosecond laser irradiation, at the expense of a slightly increased sheet resistance [Proc. SPIE 8826, 88260I (2013)]. The figure of...journal article 2014

Zuiderwijk, A.M.G. (author), Gascó, M. (author), Parycek, P. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)Literature and policy reports suggest that open data can be used as a tool to enhance transparency. However, several researchers have challenged the idea that the release of government data will result in increased transparency and the idea that transparency automatically leads to more trust in the government. Moreover, transparency may have...journal article 2014
