Brick modules for improved aesthetics in PV Introducing the Dutch Solar Design project

Solar energy will become increasingly important in the energy mix in the coming decades and will become much more visible in urban areas. Standard, rectangular size solar panels do not allow full roof or façade coverage. Together with their blueish appearance, they are visible, but not in an attractive way. Dutch Solar Design (DSD-PV)...

Team coping: How team members’ coping efforts compensate for lack of individual coping

A tool to quickly increase knowledge for effective coordination in crises

In complex crises, coordination between organizations is challenging. Knowledge needed to coordinate, like responsibilities, capabilities and interdependencies between tasks are often not known or not communicated systematically. As a result, coordination develops gradually and causes confusion. In this paper we describe an approach and tool...

Team coping: How team members’ coping efforts compensate for lack of individual coping

An architectural approach for improving aesthetics of PV

In order to improve the social acceptance of photovoltaic modules, the choice in panel color and size should be enlarged. Although various approaches have been reported to change the appearance of PV modules, it often adds complexity to the manufacturing process. Here an approach is presented in which a design module can be manufactured on...

Het vergroten van adaptiviteit bij Defensie

Hedendaagse conflicten kenmerken zich door fundamentele onzekerheid. De dynamische wereld waarin we leven maakt dat veiligheidsrisico’s complexer en diffuser worden, en daarmee zeer moeilijk voorspelbaar. Niet alles kan voorzien worden, niet elke benodigde kwaliteit kan in de benodigde kwantiteit structureel in de defensieorganisatie worden...

Civil military cooperation: Model and field evaluation

Bimolecular recombination in ambipolar organic field effect transistors

In ambipolar organic field effect transistors (OFET) the shape of the channel potential is intimately related to the recombination zone width W, and hence to the electron–hole recombination strength. Experimentally, the recombination profile can be assessed by scanning Kelvin probe microscopy (SKPM). However, surface potentials as measured by...

Hybrid InP-SiGe photoreceiver for the access network

In this paper, we present a low cost and polarization independent photoreceiver which is part of the optical network unit (ONU) for the fiber access network. It consists of one InPphotodetector and a low cost SiGe amplifier. It operates error free with 223 − 1 PRBS word length at 1.25 Gbit/s with -13dBm input optical power before the fiber chip...
