Met voor de komende decennia enerzijds de vergrijzing anderzijds de krimp voor ogen proberen gemeenten, woningbouwverenigingen en zorginstellingen de juiste combinaties voor hun levensloopbestendige bestaande en nieuwe wijken te maken ten aanzien van wonen, zorg en service. De juiste combinaties, maar …

Fuel cell hybrid vehicles are believed to provide a solution to cut down emissions in the long term. They provide local zero-emission propulsion and when the hydrogen as fuel is derived from renewable energy sources, fuel cell hybrids enable well-to-wheel zero-emission transportation, …

Tijdens de conferentie Trends in Welding Research van juni jl. in Chicago was een speciale sessie gewijd aan de microstructuurontwikkeling tijdens het lassen. Eén van de bijdragen was een presentatie van de onderzoeksresultaten van een M2i-onderzoek (Materials Innovation Institute), waarbij Tata Steel …

The objective of an energy management strategy for fuel cell hybrid propulsion systems is to minimize the fuel needed to provide the required power demand. This minimization is defined as an optimization problem. Methods such as dynamic programming numerically solve this optimization problem. Strategies …

Path tracking driver models assume the observed path deviation ahead of the vehicle to be proportionally transferred to a corrective steering input. The most simple version of such a model includes three parameters, a single preview distance, a steering gain and a delay time, being examined in this paper, …

De voordelen van modelgebaseerde ontwikkeling van regelsystemen gelden voor het mkb net zo goed als voor grote bedrijven, maar de bijbehorende investeringen zijn lastiger te dragen door kleine en middelgrote bedrijven. De Han ontwikkelt daarom samen met een aantal mkb’ers een betaalbaarder ontwikkelplatform. …

An existing fuel cell hybrid distribution truck, built for demonstration purposes, is used as a case study to investigate the effect of stack (kW) and battery (kW, kWh) sizes on the hydrogen consumption of the vehicle. Three driving cycles, the NEDC for Low Power vehicles, CSC and JE05 cycle, define …

In this paper the design and development of a new type of greenhouse with an integrated filter for reflecting near infrared radiation (NIR) and a solar energy delivery system is described. Especially the optical parts as the spectral selective film, the properties of the circular reflector and the efficiencies …

In this paper we discuss the use and challenges of identifying communities with shared semantics in Enterprise Modeling. People tend to understand modeling meta-concepts (i.e., a modeling language’s constructs or types) in a certain way and can be grouped by this understanding. Having an insight into …

In this paper we explore the subject of question asking as an inherent driver of enterprise modelling sessions, within the narrower context of the ‘dialogue game’ approach to collaborative modelling. We explain the context, but mostly report on matters directly concerning question asking and answer pre-structuring …
