ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR EXCHANGE STUDENTS Introduction Programme The Introduction Programme is compulsory for all new exchange students, as you will receive important information, needed throughout your stay at Inholland. Of course it is also an opportunity to meet all the other exchange students, the Erasmus Student Network and to get to know the university and the city. Approximately one month prior to the Introduction days you will receive the programme. Language Course (EILC) The Erasmus Intensive Language Courses are specialized courses, financed by the European Commission. The EILCs give Erasmus students the opportunity to study Dutch for 3-8 weeks prior to the exchange in the Netherlands.

During its foraging behaviour the plasmod- ium spans sources of nutrients with a network of protoplasmic tubes. In this paper we attempt to address the following question: is slime mould capable of computing transport networks? By assuming the sources of nutrients are cities and protoplas- mic tubes connecting the sources are motorways, how well does the plasmodium approximate existing motorway networks? We take the Netherlands as a case study for bio-development of motorways, while it has the most dense motorway network in arXiv:1209.2974v1 [nlin.AO] 13 Sep 2012 Europe, current demand is rapidly approaching the upper limits of existing capacity. We represent twenty major cities with oat flakes, place plasmodium in Amsterdam and record how the plasmodium spreads between oat flakes via the protoplasmic tubes. First we analyse slime-mould-built and man-built transport networks in a framework of proximity graphs to investigate if the slime mould is capable of com- puting existing networks.

Introduction Diemen, a small municipality under Amsterdam, believes that they have always had a special relationship with the Dutch Royal House of Orange. Queen Wilhelmina loved to meander in Diemen and Prince Bernhard crashed his car there. From 1899 onwards Diemen held the Oranjefeesten: multiple days of festivities mostly for the Diemer children.1 In this thesis, we will see that many protagonists from Diemen share that loyalty to the house of Orange.

  • Convenant Verduurzaming Stadsverwarmingscentrale Diemen
    CONVENANT VERDUURZAMING STADSVERWARMINGSCENTRALE DIEMEN. De gemeente Diemen, De gemeente Almere, De gemeente Amsterdam, De gemeente Weesp, De gemeente Gooise Meren, De provincie Noord Holland, Vattenfall Power Generation BV, verder te noemen Vattenfall, verder te noemen “Partijen” komen ten aanzien van de verduurzaming van de warmtelevering vanuit de Stadsverwarmingscentrale te Diemen en daarmee samenhangende aspecten het volgende overeen. Preambule Vattenfall heeft de ambitie om binnen één generatie fossielvrij leven mogelijk te maken en betrekt daar haar klanten, haar toeleveranciers en overheden in. Deze ambitie is onder meer vertaald in een strategie ter verduurzaming van de Diemense Stadsverwarmingscentrale en het daaraan gekoppelde stadsverwarmingsnet in Amsterdam, Diemen en Almere. Momenteel reduceert dit stadverwarmingssysteem de CO2 emissies met ca 50% in vergelijking tot individuele gasketels bij de mensen thuis. Voor 2040 is het uitganspunt dat geheel fossielvrij warmte wordt geproduceerd, onder gelijktijdig forse groei van het aantal aansluitingen. Daarbij wordt ingezet op grootschalige toepassing van een mix van duurzame energiebronnen, zoals Geothermie, Aquathermie, Restwarmte uit Datacenters, groene waterstof en elektriciteit voor warmteopwekking (“power to heat”), Daarnaast wordt op korte termijn ingezet op het gebruik van Houtpellets, te stoken in een daarvoor te realiseren Biomassainstallatie. Deze biomassa wordt benut als transitiebrandstof. Na de eerste 12 jaar wordt het gebruik van biomassa geleidelijk weer afgebouwd, waarbij de andere genoemde bronnen de rol geleidelijk overnemen van zowel het nog resterende gasverbruik als de biomassa. Over het gebruik van biomassa voor energielevering bestaat een, soms felle, maatschappelijke discussie. Daarbij willen wij opmerken dat de oorsprong van deze discussie ligt bij het grootschalig gebruik van biomassa voor elektriciteitsproductie, waarvoor het overgrote deel van de in Nederland geïmporteerde biomassa wordt gebruikt.

Bénézit, “Bartholomeus-Johannes van Hove” in Dictionnaire des Peintres, Sculpteurs, Dessinateurs et Graveurs, volume 5, Libraire Gründ, Paris, 1976, p. 634 In a large panel, under radiant skies, the old fortifications of Haarlem abut the Spaarne River. The Grote Houtpoort rises majestically in the foreground, dominating the scene with its weathervane reaching to the composition’s edge. The Kalistoren Tower, used for the storage of gunpowder, is in the middle with the Kleine Houtpoort visible in the distance. Built in 1570, the Grote Houtpoort was at the end of the Grote Houtstraat, one of the main roads from the Grote Markt that led outside the city walls. Beyond the gate lay the wooded area, called the Haarlemmerwoud. The temperature is mild, over the arched bridge of the Grote Houtpoort, residents contentedly stroll, conversed or stop to admire the view. Below boatmen propel their craft across glass-like waters with shimmering reflections and floating swans. The sense of well-being pervades this orderly view of the city’s great landmarks that dominate its skyline.

  • Heuristics for Delay Management with Re-Routing
    Heuristics for delay management with re-routing Student: E. van Wingerden 311228ew Supervisor: D. Huisman Abstract In delay management the main question is whether trains should wait for a delayed train or should depart on time. In the traditional delay management models passengers always take their originally planned route. In the latest literature they used re-routing of passengers and made significant improvements. However large instances could not be solved with their exact approach. Therefore in this thesis two heuristics are made that use re-routing and simple dispatching rules for the wait-depart decision. At the end experiments based on real-world data from the Netherlands Railway show that simple dispatching heuristics can be a good alternative in order to improve delay management when the optimal solution cannot be determined. 2 Contents 1. Introduction 4 2. Problem description 5 2.1 General problem description 5 2.2 Re-routing 5 2.3 Objective 6 2.4 Graph representation 6 2.5 Data 8 3. Literature 9 3.1 Papers on delay management 9 4.

Computational experiments 14 5.1 Cases 14 5.2 Computational results 15 5.3 Overview 19 6. Conclusions 20 3 Chapter 1 Introduction During peak hours passengers nowadays prefer to travel by train. Railway transport therefore plays an important role in the European mobility. The timetables that most European railway companies tend to use are cyclic in order to ensure a high frequency and an easy to remember timetable.

  • Cornelis Cornelisz, Who Himself Added 'Van Haarlem' to His Name, Was One of the Leading Figures of Dutch Mannerism, Together
    THOS. AGNEW & SONS LTD. 6 ST. JAMES’S PLACE, LONDON, SW1A 1NP Tel: +44 (0)20 7491 9219. www.agnewsgallery.com Cornelis Cornelisz van Haarlem (Haarlem 1562 – 1638) Venus, Cupid and Ceres Oil on canvas 38 x 43 in. (96.7 x 109.2 cm.) Signed with monogram and dated upper right: ‘CH. 1604’ Provenance Private collection, New York Cornelis Cornelisz, who himself added ‘van Haarlem’ to his name, was one of the leading figures of Dutch Mannerism, together with his townsman Hendrick Goltzius and Abraham Bloemaert from Utrecht. He was born in 1562 in a well-to-do Catholic family in Haarlem, where he first studied with Pieter Pietersz. At the age of seventeen he went to France, but at Rouen he had to turn back to avoid an outbreak of the plague and went instead to Antwerp, where he remained for a year with Gilles Coignet. The artist returned to Haarlem in 1581, and two years later, in 1583, he received his first important commission for a group portrait of a Haarlem militia company (now in the Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem). From roughly 1586 to 1591 Cornelis, together with Goltzius and Flemish émigré Karel van Mander formed a sort of “studio brotherhood” which became known as the ‘Haarlem Academy’. In the 1590’s he continued to receive many important commissions from the Municipality and other institutions. Before 1603, he married the daughter of a Haarlem burgomaster. In 1605, he inherited a third of his wealthy father-in-law’s estate; his wife died the following year. From an illicit union with Margriet Pouwelsdr, Cornelis had a daughter Maria in 1611.
