Slob, E.C. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)We present a scheme for Marchenko imaging in a dissipative heterogeneous medium. The scheme requires measured reflection and transmission data at two sides of the dissipative medium. The effectual medium is the same as the dissipative medium, but with negative dissipation. We show how the measured double-sided data can be combined to obtain the...conference paper 2016

Hunziker, Jürg (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Brackenhoff, J.A. (author), Slob, E.C. (author)Marine controlled-source electromagnetic reflection responses can be retrieved by interferometry. These reflection responses are free of effects related to the water layer and the air above it and do not suffer from uncertainties related to the source position and orientation. Interferometry is a data-driven process requiring proper sampling of...journal article 2016

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), van der Neut, J.R. (author)Green's theorem plays a fundamental role in a diverse range of wavefield imaging applications, such as holographic imaging, inverse scattering, time-reversal acoustics and interferometric Green's function retrieval. In many of those applications, the homogeneous Green's function (i.e. the Green's function of the wave equation without a...journal article 2016

(author), Singh, Satyan (author)The homogeneous Green’s function (i.e., the Green’s function and its time-reversed counterpart) plays an important role in optical, acoustic and seismic holography, in inverse scattering methods, in the field of time-reversal acoustics, in reversetime migration and in seismic interferometry. Starting with the classical closed-boundary...conference paper 2016

Building climate energy management in smart thermal grids via aquifer thermal energy storage systemsRostampour, Vahab (author), Jaxa-Rozen, M. (author), Bloemendal, Martin (author), Keviczky, T. (author)This paper proposes a building energy management framework, described by mixed logical dynamical systems due to operating constraints and logic rules, together with an aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) model. We develop a deterministic model predictive control strategy to meet building thermal energy demand. At each sampling a mixed...conference paper 2016

Zlatanova, S. (author), van Oosterom, P.J.M. (author), Lee, J (author), Li, Ki-Joune (author), Lemmen, C. H. J. (author)Guidance and security in large public buildings such as airports, museums and shopping malls requires much more information that traditional 2D methods offer. Therefore 3D semantically-reach models have been actively investigated with the aim to gather knowledge about availability and accessibility of spaces. Spaces can be unavailable to...conference paper 2016

Jalali Sohi, A. (author), Hertogh, M.J.C.M. (author), Bosch-Rekveldt, M.G.C. (author), Blom, R. (author)Still, projects in the construction sector are delivered with time delays and cost overruns. One of the reasons for poor performance was assigned to project complexity. A combination of lean construction and agile project management are hypothesized as a possible solution to cope with project complexity. In this paper we aim to understand if the...conference paper 2016

Zhou, Y. (author), van Kampen, E. (author), Chu, Q. P. (author)Flapping-wing MAVs represent an attractive alternative to conventional designs with rotary wings, since they promise a much higher efficiency in forward flight. However, further insight into the flapping-wing aerodynamics is still needed to get closer to the flight performance observed in natural fliers. Here we present the first step necessary...conference paper 2016

Ho, H.W. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author), Chu, Q. P. (author)Monocular vision is increasingly used in Micro Air Vehicles for navigation. In particular, optical flow, inspired by flying insects, is used to perceive vehicles’ movement with respect to the surroundings or sense changes in the environment. However, optical flow does not directly provide us the distance to an object or velocity, but the ratio...conference paper 2016

Petrov, N. (author), le Chevalier, F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)In this paper the influence of clutter power spectrum on unambiguous radar target detection with single low pulse repetition frequency wideband waveform is analyzed. Impact of both stationary and diffuse clutter components for different signal bandwidths and coherent processing intervals (CPI) is studied. Exponential model of the ground clutter...conference paper 2016

Carvalho, João (author), Ghose, R. (author), Alves, D. (author), Leote, J (author)Expressions of ductile, soft-sediment deformations induced by ground movements due to past earthquakes are difficult to recognize in near-surface soils. We have carried out shallow S-wave reflection studies in a seismically active area located northeast of metropolitan Lisbon, Portugal. Identifying shallow disturbed zones and hidden fault...journal article 2016

Schiemann, M. (author), de Haan, A.B. (author), Wirtz, S. (author)Spray roasting of metal chloride solutions is frequently used in steel industries to recover pickling liquids. As spray roasting reactors are difficult to characterize experimentally, computational fluid dynamics simu- lations have been used to investigate reactor performance. These simulations require a particle formation model, which describes...journal article 2016

Minato, S. (author), Ghose, R. (author)Though well known for layer boundaries, the use of amplitude-versus-offset (AVO) variations for non-welded boundaries like fractures is not yet investigated. Depending on the seismic wavelength used, fractures can be regarded as thin, compliant zones in rocks, in different scales. We explore the potential of multiangle AVO inversion of P-P and P...journal article 2016

Kleinepier, T. (author), van de Valk, H.A.G. (author)Background: Despite extensive research on the family behavior of young adults, family dynamics of children of migrants remain largely unexplored. This is unfortunate as family transitions are strongly interlinked with transitions in other domains (e.g., education, work) and predictive for outcomes later in life.<br/><br/>Objective: We provide a...journal article 2016

(author)Operational decision-making processes for networked infrastructure management often occur as a multi-actor planning problem, implying these are based on negotiations between different stakeholders in addition to available system quality information. As such, does more accurate data about actual structural condition lead to other or better...journal article 2016

Shamasundara, R. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author)Finite-element discretizations of the acoustic wave equation in the time domain often employ mass lumping to avoid the cost of inverting a large sparse mass matrix. For the second-order formulation of the wave equation, mass lumping on Legendre–Gauss–Lobatto points does not harm the accuracy. Here, we consider a first-order formulation of the...journal article 2016

Energy efficiency and renewable energy sources are proposed as the solution and named the ‘twin pillars’ of sustainable energy policy. Increasing energy efficiencies are expected to reduce energy demand and fossil fuel use and...journal article 2016
