Netten, B.D. (author), Kester, L.J.H.M. (author), Wedemeijer, H. (author), Passchier, I. (author), Driessen, B.J.F. (author)This paper presents the rationale and design of the DynaMap, a Local Dynamic Map (LDM) for infrastructure-based cooperative applications on Road side and Central ITS Stations. Most LDMs are developed primarily for use in cooperative vehicles. The requirements for infrastructure-based applications are different from vehicle-based applications...conference paper 2013

Coenen, E.W.C. (author), Kouznetsova, V.G. (author), Geers, M.G.D. (author)Recently, a novel multi-scale modelling approach for damage and fracture problems was presented. This method departs from classical computational homogenization (FE2) and evolves to a discontinuity enriched scheme upon the localization detection. Rotating boundary conditions allow for microscale localization bands to develop. The formulation of...conference paper 2013

Geurts, C.P.W. (author), Kopp, G.A. (author), Morrison, M.J. (author)The provisions for wind loads on flat roofs differ considerably between current wind loading standards in different jurisdictions. For a number of major wind loading codes, both the definition of roof zones, and the values applied to determine the wind loads are discussed. This paper concentrates on the wind loading zones near edges and corners,...conference paper 2013

Pyrgiotis, N. (author), Malone, K.M. (author), Odoni, A. (author)We describe an analytical queuing and network decomposition model developed to study the complex phenomenon of the propagation of delays within a large network of major airports. The Approximate Network Delays (AND) model computes the delays due to local congestion at individual airports and captures the " ripple effect" that leads to the...article 2013

Hunter, A.J. (author), Fillinger, L. (author), Clarijs, M.C. (author)A boom is a line of floats that constitutes a physical barrier for providing abovewater stopping power. However, it does not provide any situation awareness. In order to overcome this shortcoming, an integrated “booms and sensors” solution using passive sonar was conceived and tested experimentally by suspending hydrophones under a boom. The...conference paper 2013

Marck, J.W. (author), Mohamoud, A.A. (author), van de Houwen, E.H. (author), van Heijster, R.M.E.M. (author)Indoor navigation especially in unknown areas is a real challenge. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technology provides a solution. However SLAM as currently based on optical sensors, is unsuitable in vision denied areas, which are for example encountered by first responders. Radar can be used to overcome this drawback, however no...conference paper 2013

Posthumus, B. (author), Aarnoudse, R. (author), Stroek, C. (author)Dissemination of information has always been an important topic in agriculture as information educates farmers and helps them to make the right decisions on agricultural practices and marketing. The main objective of this research is to explore how social networks could be deployed in order to stimulate the diffusion of mobile agricultural...conference paper 2013

van Bentum, C.A. (author), Kalkman, I.M. (author), Geurts, C.P.W. (author)A series of wind tunnels tests are presented on a cube, equipped with a permeable outer layer. The influences of cavity depth and opening width have been investigated. This research shows that a wind direction of 75 degrees with respect to the considered panel gives the highest differential pressures relevant for cladding. For smooth approach...conference paper 2012

Theelen, M.J. (author), Habets, D. (author), Staemmler, L. (author), Winands, H. (author), Bolt, P.J. (author)Organosilicon coatings provide good optical and mechanical properties and are excellent candidates for the modification of the surface energy of polymers. These coatings can be deposited by plasma polymerization of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) under atmospheric pressure and at room temperature. The resulting films can range from soft,...article 2012

Dijkstra, K.A. (author), van der Pligt, J. (author), van Kleef, G.A. (author), Kerstholt, J.H. (author)Decisions and judgments made after deliberation can differ from expert opinion and be more regretted over time than intuitive judgments and decisions. We investigated a possible underlying process of this phenomenon, namely global versus local processing style. We argue that deliberation induces a local processing style. This processing style...article 2012

Tijmes, M.R. (author), Nooren, P.A. (author), Koenen, R.H. (author)Dit how-to boek legt uit hoe lokale aanbieders nieuwe elektronische diensten over Fiber-to-the-Home (FttH) netwerken kunnen leveren. FttH-netwerken zijn interessant voor dienstaanbieders omdat ze in de praktijk een aantal mogelijkheden bieden die in andere netwerken, zoals DSL en kabel, (nog) niet beschikbaar zijn. In dit boek gaat het daarbij...report 2012

Zhao, D. (author), Serdijn, W.A. (author), Huang, L. (author), Dolmans, G. (author)The wide range of wireless body area network (WBAN) applications gives rise to different system requirements for the carrier frequencies and data rates. In order to accommodate various standards in WBAN applications, a universal receiver system with good performance and low power is highly desirable. The subsampling receiver architecture is one...conference paper 2011

(author)We demonstrate an improvement by more than 1 order of magnitude of the figure of merit (FoM) of plasmonic nanoparticle sensors by means of the diffractive coupling of localized surface plasmon resonances. The coupling in arrays of nanoparticles leads to Fano resonances with narrow line widths known as surface lattice resonances, which are very...article 2011

(author)The refractive index sensitivity of localized surface plasmon resonance sensors can be improved by placing the plasmonic metal particles on pillars instead of on a planar substrate. In this paper, a simple and versatile colloidal lithography method for the fabrication of plasmonic Au islands on top of polymer nanopillars is described. The pillar...article 2011
