On the Relationship between Export Activity and Size
No full textTogether with the general and sector environment and various internal factors, firm size is one of the main groups of factors determining export activity. However, few works have examined this aspect, with the studies of Alonso and Donoso (1994, 1998) standing out in the Spanish case. The objective of this empirical work is, on the one hand, to describe the size of non-consolidated exporting Spanish SMEs or those not exporting but interested in export and, on the other hand, to assess the possible relationships between export activity and the size and other demographic characteristics of the firms participating in this study.Internationalization of businesses, export, small and medium firms, firm size
Design, Modeling and Simulation of a 52MHz MEMS Gyroscope Device in 1.5um SOI
No full textIn this thesis , a simulation model of a MEMS gyroscope is presented. The model enables mode matching and analysis of the dynamic behavior of a gyroscope. Furthermore, the model allows the optimization the design parameters of the gyroscope. The simulated gyroscope operates at a frequency of 52MHz with amplitudes of 10nm and quality factor of 50,000. Finally, the drive mode measurements are presented at different bias voltages.Microelectronics & Computer EngineeringElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Het gemeentelijk Investeringsraadsel: Het verband tussen gemeentelijke investeringen en lokale welvaartsontwikkeling
No full textDit proefschrift gaat over de vraag in hoeverre in Nederland de lokale welvaartsontwikkeling wordt bepaald door de gemeentelijke investeringsinspanning. Op project niveau is meestal wel het een en ander bekend over de maatschappelijke effecten, maar over de impact van de totale investeringsinspanning ontbreekt zowel fundamentele als toepasbare kennis. Het is een raadsel dat nog opgelost dient te worden. De doelstelling van dit proefschrift is daaraan een bijdrage te leveren.Housing System
Coupled thermo–hydro–mechanical processes for the Dutch radioactive waste repository
No full textDisposal of spent nuclear fuel and long lived radioactive waste in deep clay geological formations is one of the promising options worldwide. In this concept of the geological disposal system, the Boom Clay is considered as a potential host rock when designing a generic waste repository in the Netherlands. For design and evaluation of a repository for geologic disposal of nuclear wastes one of its principal concern is the thermal loading. High-level radioactive waste and spent fuel generate considerable amounts of heat. When those waste types are disposed in a geological repository the elevated thermal effect on the behaviour of soils surrounding nuclear waste disposal give rise to change in hydraulic and mechanical properties is a significant factor for repository design. Understanding these time-dependent phenomena processes in relation to both the effects of pore water dissipation and of the thermal expansion is essential for reliably assessing repository performance and evaluating the safety case. This paper presents some of the investigation on the thermal processes with emphasis on the coupled Thermo-Hydro- Mechanical (THM) processes for the disposal concept of a radioactive waste disposal facility, in Boom Clay at a depth of about 500m.Geo-engineerin

Probabilistic performance assessment of a deep tunnel for a radioactive waste repository in French COx claystone
No full textA preliminary probabilistic study of the stability of a circular drift excavated for a radioactive waste repository in the French Callovo-Oxfordian claystone is presented and discussed. An analytical mechanical model assuming isotropic elastic behaviour and linear plastic softening was used. Particular emphasis here is placed on the uncertainty of mechanical property values. The test results from several laboratories showed considerably variable property values and they have been interpreted statistically in this investigation. The obtained statistical results were used in a Monte Carlo framework. The performance of the drift was evaluated in terms of the probability of threshold exceedance in the extent of the plastic zone.Geo-engineerin
