(author), Jackson, B. D. (author)SRON is developing ultra-low noise Transition Edge Sensors (TESs) based on a superconducting Ti/Au bilayer on a suspended SiN island with SiN legs for the SAFARI instrument aboard the SPICA mission. We successfully fabricated TESs with very narrow (0.5-0.7 μm) and thin (0.25 μm) SiN legs on different sizes of SiN islands using deep...conference paper 2016

Mullyadzhanov, R (author), Palkin, Egor (author), Nićeno, B. (author), Vervisch, L (author), Hanjalic, K. (author)We describe the low Mach variable-density Navier-Stokes numerical iterative solution procedure implemented in the finite-volume unstructured T-FlowS code. As the test cases we use a number of analytic manufactured solutions and Rayleigh-Taylor instability problem from the literature for algorithm verification purposes. The tests show that the...journal article 2016

(author), van Maris, A.J.A. (author), Pronk, J.T. (author)Pyruvate and acetyl-coenzyme A, located at the interface between glycolysis and TCA cycle, are important intermediates in yeast metabolism and key precursors for industrially relevant products. Rational engineering of their supply requires knowledge of compensatory reactions that replace predominant pathways when these are inactivated. This...journal article 2016

Wever, T. (author), Haarhuis, K. (author), ten Brincke, E. (author), Nijsse, R. (author)In projects involving swimming pools with structural glass, ABT Consulting Engineers has faced similar design requirements: maximal transparency, proper detailing, 100% water tightness and robust behavior. ABT developed a straightforward detailing to satisfy these requirements. The concept is applied in the glass swimming pool of the 900 Mahler...conference paper 2016

Vu, M.N. (author), Broere, W. (author), Bosch, J.W. (author)Assessing the impact of underground construction on existing<br/>structures in urban areas is an important topic during design. In this paper, the extent of the effect area due to tunnelling is estimated, where existing foundations are influenced based on the investigation of surface and subsurface settlements. The extent of the areas where...conference paper 2016

Kroesen, M. (author), van Cranenburgh, S. (author)Recent empirical evidence suggests that travellers are becoming increasingly multimodal. Coinciding with this trend, a growing interest can be observed in the transport literature to study the concept of multimodality. Most studies, in this regard, have focused on assessing the determinants of multimodal travel behaviour. While it is...journal article 2016

Ojeda-Cabral, Manuel (author), Chorus, C.G. (author)This paper identifies and illustrates the theoretical connection between the Random Valuation (RV) and Random Utility (RU) methods for Value of Travel Time Changes (VTTC) analysis. The RV method has become more and more popular recently, and has been found to lead to very different estimation results than conventional RU models. Previous...journal article 2016

Verdiesen, E.P. (author), Dignum, M.V. (author), van den Hoven, M.J. (author), Cligge, Martijn (author), Timmermans, Jan (author), Segers, Lennard (author)Nowadays, public debates often take place on social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter and can be characterized as asynchronous, protracted and ill-structured. The Massive Open Online Deliberation (MOOD) platform aims to structure these debates. Essential is that the platform can differentiate between the moral acceptability and the social...conference paper 2016

Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Bravo, Giangiacomo (author)In this paper we present an abstract replication of institutional emergence patterns observed in common pool resource (CPR) problems. We used the ADICO grammar of institutions as the basic structure to model both users’ strategies and institutions. Through an evolutionary process, users modify their behaviours and eventually establish a...journal article 2016

Asselman, Nathalie E.M. (author), Klijn, F. (author)Since 1996, the Netherlands has adopted a flood risk management policy based on making more room for the rivers. Currently, the focus in flood risk management is being adapted again, in view of increasing societal vulnerability and foreseeable effects of climate change. In this context, the choice between making more room for the river and/or...journal article 2016

Klijn, F. (author), Asselman, Nathalie E.M. (author), De Kruif, Arno (author), Bloemen, Pieter J.T.M. (author), Haasnoot, M. (author)The Netherlands is updating its flood protection, whilst fully taking into account climate change and socioeconomic development. This translates in 'anticipatory standards' which need to be met in 2050, and which apply for the then foreseen climate and economy. Whilst the government maintains to have adopted a policy of adaptive planning and...journal article 2016
