(author)Particulate matter (PM) pollution in cities has severe impact on morbidity and mortality of their population. In these cities, road dust resuspension contributes largely to PM and airborne heavy metals concentrations. However, the short-term variation of emission through resuspension is not well described in the air quality models, hampering a...article 2013

Ristvej, J, (author), Neef, R.M. (author), van de Walle, B. (author)Obnova po krízovom jave v mestskom prostredí je zložitý proces a to najmä vzhľadom na vysokú hustotu obyvateľstva a prítomnosť mnohých spoločenským a infraštruktúrnych závislostí. Mestské oblasti sú náchylné k ťažkým stratám sebestačnosti v prípade krízového javu väčšieho rozsahu, mimoriadnej udalosti. Obnova v takomto prostredí je náročná úloha...conference paper 2013

Neef, R.M. (author), van Dongen, C.J.G. (author), Rijken, M. (author)Disaster recovery in urban environments is a complex process. Because of high population densities and the presence of many societal and infrastructural dependencies, urban areas are prone to severe loss of self-reliance in case of a disaster. Rebuilding such areas to a self-sustaining state is a daunting task, and requires a high degree of...conference paper 2013

Offermans, P. (author), Crego-Calama, M. (author), Brongersma, S.H. (author)Vertical InAs nanowires are contacted in situ using an air-bridge construction and functionalized with a metalloporphyrin (Hemin). The response of bare and functionalized vertical InAs nanowire arrays to ppb-level concentrations of NO2 and NO is demonstrated. Hemin enhances the response to NO whereas NO2 is also detected without...article 2012

Ledegang, W.D. (author), Groen, E.L. (author), Wentink, M. (author)This paper describes two simulator experiments studying how accurately pilots can judge and reproduce specific g loads and how their control behavior depends on the sensation of physical g loads during unusual attitude recovery. Seventeen commercial pilots participated. The first experiment shows that pilots tend to overestimate g loads,...article 2012

Hanea, A. (author), Hanea, R. (author), Zilko, A. (author)The objective of reservoir engineering is to optimize hydrocarbon recovery. One of the most common and efficient recovery processes is water injection. The water is pumped into the reservoir in injection wells in order to push the oil trapped in the porous media towards the production wells. The movement of the water front depends on the...conference paper 2012

Atuonwu, J.C. (author), van Straten, G. (author), van Deventer, H.C. (author), van Boxtel, A.J.B. (author)Conventionally, energy-saving techniques in drying technology are sequential in nature. First, the dryer is optimized without heat recovery and then, based on the obtained process conditions, heat recovery possibilities are explored. This work presents a methodology for energy-efficient adsorption dryer design that considers sensible and latent...article 2011

van Bergen, F. (author), Hol, S. (author), Spiers, C. (author)The interaction between supercritical carbon dioxide and coal has been the subject of many studies in recent years. This paper reports two different types of swelling experiments, one on confined and one on unconfined samples of pre-pressed, crushed bituminous coal, performed at gas or fluid pressures up to 10MPa and temperatures of around 40°C....article 2011

Atuonwu, J.C. (author), van Straten, G. (author), van Deventer, H.C. (author), van Boxtel, A.J.B. (author)Low-temperature drying is important for heat-sensitive products, but at these temperatures conventional convective dryers have low energy efficiencies. To overcome this challenge, an energy efficiency optimization procedure is applied to a zeolite adsorption dryer subject to product quality. The procedure finds a trade-off between the improved...article 2011

Sanchez Fernandez, E. (author), Geerdink, P. (author), Goetheer, E.L.V. (author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)Thermo pervaporation (PV) is a pervaporation process that makes use of low quality heat to recover or purify solvents from water. Based on this technology it is possible to integrate the condensation energy for the direct heating of the feed during pervaporation in one single module. This concept was experimentally investigated for the...article 2010
