This report deals with the design of a complete guidance, navigation and control system for a planetary lander on Enceladus, for both descent and repositioning. A basic lander model with a main engine, attitude thrusters and a landing gear is presented, for which the equations of motion in different reference frames are derived, including the...

Currently, morphodynamic models as XBeach show substantial overestimations of the erosion rates during breaching and overwash events at barrier islands. The presently used limitations on the Shields parameter and the sediment concentration do hinder erosion, but have undesirable side effects, e.g. the breaching process is suppressed. By...

In the face of geographic, social and economic dynamics, Dutch spatial planning has underwent a significant change from prescriptive and regulatory top down planning to collaborative spatial planning (CSP) in networks of like-minded governments. Such CSP initiatives, or regional collaborations, seek to align their efforts to steer regional...

PostNL Parcels has 18 depots that are being used for the processing of parcels. The parcels are collected during the day. After delivery of the parcels to the depots, the sorting of the parcels takes place during the evening and night. This process is called the send sorting. The processing capacity that is needed during the send sorting at a...

MHTs (MHT-p, MHT-N) represented superior corrosion inhibition effect against chloride induced pitting corrosion in simulated concrete pore solution when compared with the pure inhibitors (pAB, NaNO2). Among them, MHT-p exhibited a better improvement of inhibition effect than MHT-N. This result is probably caused by the bigger ion exchange...

The corrosion inhibitory effect against reinforced steel corrosion of four amino acids was evaluated comparing with sodium nitrite which is a widely used commercial inhibitor. The experiments were carried out in simulated pore solutions using electrochemical methods as well as optical microscopy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was...

Immersed tunnels have become an integral part of the modern day society. Their serviceability and maintenance are of prime importance. In recent years, monitoring of immersed tunnels for deformations showed the necessity for the analysis of certain tunnels due to an unexpected and local increase of settlements and rotations. With the Kiltunnel...

Significant financial investments are made in the offshore wind energy, in a race to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The trend is to install larger capacity wind turbines in deeper waters, further from shore. DTI (2001) states that 30% of this investment is represented by the foundation costs. Senders (2008) and Byrne & Houlsby (2003) found...

Micro-ramps are currently being investigated as a means of reducing negative effects of shock wave-turbulent boundary layer interactions. A micro-ramp enhances the mixing of the ow by introducing vortices in the ow, thus energizing the boundary layer to overcome the adverse pressure gradient due to an impinging shock. The effect of changing...

In this report a district heating system is analyzed at the Tata steel site. A case study is made for a number of buildings, which are currently heated with a gas boiler. A computer model is developed to calculate the optimal piping path and diameters for such a network. The heat losses of this network are calculated with the complex potential...

We explore the foundations of quantum mechanics to see how the mathematics of QM was built. After that, we see what the EPR paradox is, why it was posed as a paradox and how it was solved.

The development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in energy-intensive industries (EnIIs) in the EU is currently stalling while many recognize its importance for reducing CO2 emissions. The socio-technical system of CCS in EnIIs is characterized by resource interdependencies, conflicting interests and diverging perspectives on problems and...

A Bayesian Network can be used to model and visualize a process that includes multiple dependent variables. By graphically displaying the relations it is clear, also for non mathematicians, what the different dependencies are. Bayesian Networks however only contain variables described by probability distributions. Besides this we also want to...

The ability of current surgical luminaires to adapt the light field to different wound shapes is very limited. A system that is able to modify the shape of the light field to the actual wound shape should be able to improve the visual performance of the surgeon during a surgical procedure. A luminaire system has been designed that receives an...

MANAGEMENT SUMMARY Introduction Due to warm weather in the Netherlands in 2013, out of stocks (OOS) on several products occurred in the warehouses at Heineken. Warmer weather than usual caused a more volatile demand, leading to these OOS. An OOS at Heineken, meaning that Heineken is unable to ship an order due to insufficient stock, has negative...

Port infrastructure today is planned under more and more conditions of uncertainty, increasing the challenge to design a well-functioning construction for its entire technical lifetime. The Port of Rotterdam is searching for a strategy to close the timespan between commercial (functional)- and technical lifetime of for (customer-) infrastructure...

Due to the difficulties around the F component, it recently appears that more attention has been paid to exploring the alternatives of bank financing. New forms of integrated contracts are gradually being developed that are funded by public resources, but are directed at producing comparable incentives as produced by the F component. In addition...
