Valek, J. (author), Hughes, J.J. (author), Pique, F. (author), Gulotta, D. (author), van Hees, R. (author), Papayiani, I. (author)

Surface repair mortars are used for the compensation, or repair, of lost portions of surface materials in historic masonry buildings. It is recommended that their design and application should be performed in a wider context of conservation values related decision making, to prioritise preservation of original fabric, authenticity of approach...

Quantitative Assessment at Task-Level for Performance of Robotic Configurations and Task Plans

Weng, C.Y. (author), Tan, W.C. (author), Yuan, Q. (author), Chen, I.M. (author)

Given a robotic manipulation task, decision on which robotic configuration (robotic system and necessary peripherals, including assistant tools, sensor systems, and so on.) to use and evaluating performance of the solution remains as an open, challenging but a meaningful problem. This work attempts to address this problem by defining the concept...

Double-difference relocation of the 29 January 2011 ML 4.5 Oroszlány earthquake and its aftershocks and its relevance to the rheology of the lithosphere and geothermal prospectivity

Békési, E. (author), Süle, B. (author), Lenkey, L. (author), Lenkey-Bőgér, Á. (author), Bondár, I. (author)

In the central part of Hungary, an earthquake with the local magnitude of 4.5 occurred near the town of Oroszlány, on 29 January 2011. The main shock and its more than 200 aftershocks were recorded by a significant number of three-component seismic stations, which enabled us to perform multiple event location on the event cluster. We applied the...

High-resolution quantitative reconstruction of Late Cretaceous-Tertiary erosion in the West Netherlands Basin using multi-formation compaction trends and seismic data: Implications for geothermal exploration

Worum, G. (author), van Wees, J.D. (author)

A workflow is presented to determine the detailed, high-resolution pattern of erosion in maturely explored Sedimentary Basins by analysing the sonic log-based interval velocity patterns of nine stratigraphic intervals complemented by a geometrical approach involving the extrapolation of 3-D seismic reflectors. The jointly evaluated results of...

A public domain model for 1D temperature and rheology construction in basement-sedimentary geothermal exploration: an application to the Spanish Central System and adjacent basins

Limberger, J. (author), Bonte, D. (author), de Vicente, G. (author), Beekman, F. (author), Cloetingh, S. (author), van Wees, J.D. (author)

Brittle basement and sedimentary rocks, in particular if these are underlain by radiogenic crust, are considered a prime target for enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). They are marked by high geothermal gradients, caused by radiogenic heat production, and are well suited to be used for geothermal doublets after hydraulic stimulation. Critical...

Property-preservation synthesis for unified control- and data-oriented models

Florescu, O. (author), Voeten, J. (author), Corporaal, H. (author)

In the software/hardware engineering model-driven design methodology, preservation of real-time system properties can be guaranteed in the model synthesis up to a small time-deviation. Therefore, this ethodology is well suited for the design and implementation of control systems in which execution times of actions are small; thus the time...
