Breda, decent village across the border: Reasons for Benelux Headquarters to locate in Breda
No full textThe master’s thesis explores reasons for Benelux Headquarters to locate in Breda. A literaturestudy is done about location dynamics, location factors and location characteristics. The characteristics of the city Breda are obtained. Open interviews are held with 6 Benelux Headquarters. The location factors of Benelux Headquarters and characteristics of Breda are compared. Benelux Headquarters locate in Breda, because of physical characteristics of the city and not because of the social and economic characteristics.Corporate Real Estate ManagementReal Estate & HousingArchitectur
NIEUW! Breda; transformatie opgave noord westelijke Markoever
No full textDit afstudeerproject omvat een binnenstedelijke transformatie opgave waarbij een verouderd industriegebied gerevitaliseerd wordt tot een verlenging van het stadscentrum van Breda. Het plangebied is een onderdeel van de Spoorzone Breda nabij het historisch stadscentrum. De komst van het HogeSnelheidsLijn (HSL) shuttle station heeft als impuls voor herontwikkelingen binnen dit gebied gediend en is één van de aanleidingen waarom er is gekozen voor deze ontwerplocatie. De verschillende activiteiten rondom het spoor maken de problematiek erg actueel.Urban regeneration (stedelijke vernieuwing)UrbanismArchitectur

Structural Design of North Side of Breda Central Station
No full textThe topology of the Breda CS has the image of the whole station complex under one single roof. The architectural design meets the needs for a public transport where large open space can be found in most area. However, the bus terminal on the north side at level 1 has many columns and low ceiling height. This master’s thesis aims to reduce the rows of columns on the bus terminal and creative more open space for the public in a structural way. The north side of Breda CS has the dimension of 180m long, 27.5m wide and 23m high.Design and ConstructionCivil Engineering and Geoscience
Recreational water quality in the Breda canals
No full textNetherlands urban canals are not designated as official bathing sites for recreation, and their water quality is not monitored routinely. The municipality of Breda has ambitious plans to ensure the recreational water quality in the Breda canals during the bathing season. The purpose of this study was investigation of microbial water quality of the Breda canals intended for recreational purposes and simulation of water quality in the SOBEK model during the bathing seasons.The first part of this study focused on analysis of microbial water quality of the study area by water sampling. The study area was divided into five sampling locations. The sampling scheme was defined weekly during dry weather, 3rd day after light rainfall without a CSO discharge and 3rd and 5th days after rainfall event with a CSO discharge. The sampling period was spread over 48 weeks. Also, DNA concentration of markers for four groups of organisms; humans, ruminants, dogs, and birds were monitored by a DNA source trace analysis.Temporal and spatial variations of E. coli were observed in the Breda canals after rainfall events in the winter and summer seasons, indicating that water quality can be affected by rainfall events. The results of the DNA resource trace of the Breda canals suggested that, in dry weather, humans and ruminants have always been a source of contamination. Depending on circumstances and locations, dogs and birds may also act as contaminants. After rainfall events with a CSO discharge, human faecal material was a source of contamination for most locations.The second part of this thesis involves testing the sewer model of Breda in the context of discharged overflow volumes. To run the water quality model, overflows volume simulated by the sewer model during the sampling period are used as input. The comparison of simulated and measured water levels at pumping stations indicated that, generally, the sewer model is valid, and the simulated water levels at pumping stations corresponded to the measured values. However, the model overestimated the water level due to inaccurate modelling of the pumps’ operations and capacities. The last part of this study presents the water quality simulation in SOBEK model. Based on the sensitivity analysis of this model, it can be concluded that there is uncertainty surrounding some essential inputs of the model, including discharged sewer overflow volumes and initial E. coli concentration. To develop a more accurate water quality model, the quality of input data should be improved. The results of this study indicated that the municipality should adopt a strategy to minimise the discrepancy between simulated and actual discharged sewer overflow volumes. In addition, a better rain–runoff model (RR module) for conducting simulations in SOBEK can be developed by the Water board. Considering the complicated simulation of pumps’ operational systems in InfoWorks and high expenses of sensor installation for collecting reliable data on all sewer overflows, water quality analysis based on collecting more sample data in different rainfall events sounds more feasible.Water Managemen

THE HOLOTYPE OF CERVALCES GALLICUS (AZZAROLI, 1952) FROM SENEZE (HAUTE LOIRE, FRANCE) WITH NOMENCLATURAL IMPLICATIONS AND TAXONOMICAL PHYLOGENETIC PROBLEMS
No full textThe remains of Cervalces (Libralces) gallicus (Azzaroli, 1952) from the Middle-Upper Villafranchian of Sénèze (Haute-Loire, France), kept in the Paleontological Museum of the University Claude Bernard - Lyon 1, are here studied again. The remains consist of an assembled skeleton, with skull, antlers and all postcranial elements, described by Azzaroli (1952) as holotype, and in the limb bones of a second specimen, designated as cotype by the same author. The cotypeís limb bones are here attributed to the holotype, while the smaller assembled limb bones cannot be determined over the family taxonomic level, due to the bad state of preservation.
The characters determining the genus Cervalces are described here and, in accordance with Azzaroli, the species C. (L.) latifrons from the Middle-Upper Pleistocene is attributed to it. All the species of the genus Cervalces show characters of cranial and facial morphology, which differ from that of present-day Alces. The narrow, deep occipital and the short nasals, not articulated with the long premaxillaris, are in this view considered apomorphic characters of Alces alces
