Kipp & Zonen, based in Delft manufactures and develops atmospheric measurement instruments, including a scintillometer. Kipp & Zonen currently manufactures the large aperture scintillometer (LAS) MkII and previously manufactured the extra large aperture scintillometer (XLAS) MkI. A scintillometer can …

In this report a description is given of two implementation concepts for the implementation of shaft alignment, vibration measurement and on site machining in the Asia market. The entire analysis process has been described including an actor analysis, process analysis and market analysis. The two …

Conventional dairy husbandry systems acknowledge animal welfare guided by Brambel’s five freedoms. The concept of natural, or normal behaviour would in contrast to Brambel’s convention, be based on stability through chance and offers a less anthropocentric and more naturalistic approach. The present …

In this research, the effect on the quality of life of people older than 80, who participated in psychomotor therapy (PMT) and mainly the (re)discovering of their qualities, is measured. Within this research, literature study has been carried out to clarify the concepts and to make the concepts understandable. A …

Resonance-enhanced laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy was used to increase the elemental sensitivity of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. In resonance-enhanced laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, two lasers are used. The first laser creates a plasma, and the second laser re excites the most …

The observed persistent soft X-ray spectra (0.5 - 10 keV) of anomalous Xray pulsars (AXPs) can be explained by the magnetar model (Woods and Thompson et al., 2002 [3]) where the emission is powered by the decay of an extreme high magnetic eld ( 1014 G). Because these spectra are relatively soft, measurements …

Research is done on the properties of a niobium superconducting magnetic shield sample (see image below this abstract), its magnetic attenuation; and behaviour around the transition temperature 9.25 K. The attenuation of the magnetic shield sample was measured in a cryogenic setup. This is required to …

This report is written to guide the reader step by step through the process of developing a heating stage and a iron mapping device for a photoluminescence setup, used to measure the lifetime of silicon wafers in solar cells. Subject specific terms will be explained throughout the report. First, research …

Patients who suffer with schizophrenia haven’t got enough skills to deal with stress. The change on a psychosis increases by stress. Within the forensic psychiatry there hasn’t been much research to stress management training for patients with psychotic problems. Hence came the question for effect measurement …

This thesis describes how the abundance of CO2 a ects the porosity of H2O:CO2 ice mixtures deposited at di erent growth temperatures ranging from 30 - 70 K. The mixing ratios of the used ice samples H2O:CO2 = 10:1, 4:1 and 2:1 are of astrophysical relevance. Laser optical interference is used to monitor …
