Polymers can be used to constitute "artificial muscles" that actuate under an electric stimulus. These polymers include dielectric elastomers and thermally expandable polymers. They are insulating and relatively compliant. Their electric activation is enabled with integration of electrodes, heat conductors or heaters. However, the electrodes or...

High critical current-density (10?to?420?kA/cm2) superconductor-insulator-superconductor tunnel junctions with aluminum nitride barriers have been realized using a remote nitrogen plasma from an inductively coupled plasma source operated in a pressure range of 10?3–10?1?mbar. We find a much better reproducibility and control compared to previous...

This dissertation deals with the effect of influence tactics on Electronic Procurement (EP) adoption cognitions. When an EP system is introduced in an organization, adoption of that system by its intended users is not self-evident. The study identifies factors from literature that have an effect on EP adoption cognitions. Subsequently, the study...

The Netherlands, like many countries in this world, face a challenging task in managing civil infrastructures. The management of vital infrastructures, like road bridges, is necessary to ensure their safe and reliable functioning. The Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management in the Netherlands manages the structures in the...

Drinking water treatment plants automation becomes more sophisticated, more on-line monitoring systems become available and integration of modeling environments with control systems becomes easier. This gives possibilities for model-based optimization. In operation of drinking water treatment plants, the processes are usually optimized...

Solar cells are the prime power supply for satellites in space. Space is, however, a hostile environment for electronic devices, such as solar cells: in space the devices are subjected to large temperature cycles, atomic oxygen, space dust, meteorites, and high-energy charged-particle irradiation. In this thesis we present the development of a...

The SUBDUCT (Surface Behavior and Dynamical Units of the Southeast Carpathians Tectonics) research program, in which the TU Delft participates, aims to model the surface kinematics of a 350 x 350 km wide area around the Vrancea seismic region in Romania by means of GPS observations. The goal of the project is to relate surface motions to the...

The Gard River case study focuses on human behaviour and casualties during the September 8-9, 2002 flash floods in order to provide estimates of the potential loss of life for this type of flood and elements for a calibration of the proposed model. The study contributes to Actions 1 and 2 of Activity 1 in Task 10 in helping to identify the...

The merit function space of mirror system for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is studied. Local minima situated in the multidimensional optical merit function space are connected via links that contain saddle points and form a network. We present networks for EUV lithographic objective designs and discuss how these networks change when...

To estimate rock and pore-fluid properties of oil and gas reservoirs in the subsurface, techniques can be used that invert seismic data. Hereby, the detailed information about the reservoir that is available at well locations, such as the thickness and porosity of individual layers, is extrapolated to all locations in the reservoir on the basis...

Sediments play an important role in water resources management. In the past, hazardous contaminants from municipal and industrial wastewater effluents and from agriculture were discharged in large quantities into the water bodies and accumulated within the bottom sediments. Today, relatively unpolluted recent sediment surface layers cover older...

The spectral wind wave model SWAN plays a key role in the estimation of the Hydraulic Boundary Conditions (HBC) for the primary sea defences of the Netherlands. Since some uncertainty remains with respect to the reliability of SWAN for application to the geographically complex area of the Wadden Sea, a number of activities have been initiated...
