Tijhuis, Esmée (author)Call Detail Record (CDR) data enables the analysis of human behaviour on a large scale and the information that it contains can be promising. Not only does it allow us to track the movements of many individuals throughout time, it uncovers patterns in a persons decision making process that potentially tell us a lot about the effects of different...master thesis 2021

Anwar, Farian (author)The marketplace has established itself, since the beginning of ancient trade, as an arena for economic, social and cultural exchange. Throughout history, markets have played an important role as the mediator in the trading of both globally and locally produced commodities. However, global logistics and consumption have highlighted the increased...master thesis 2021

Shih, Yi-Chen (author)Borders affect both spatial properties and human behaviors. The way people experience spaces determines the thickness of borders, and the thickness is the space of threshold. This architectural concept is inspired by the architectural elements – door which involves a character of connection and separation. The duality of interface challenges the...master thesis 2021

de Graaf, Jetske (author)Globally, one in four adults do not meet the recommended amount of physical activity. Because people spend a significant amount of time in the work environment and especially office employees spend a lot of time in sedentary behaviour and have low physical activity levels, this study focuses on the reduction of sedentary behaviour and increase...master thesis 2021

Schreur, Willemijn (author)This graduation project tries to rediscover the importance of three concepts - urban forestry, infrastructure and aesthetics – and unites them with each other, in an attempt to develop a method to design ‘aesthetic urban forest infrastructure’ and discover the potential of such a method. Whereas urban forestry will need more space in our future...master thesis 2021

Stam, Mariëlle (author)Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is used to treat a variety of movement disorders. In current DBS therapy, the stimulation parameters are manually adjusted based on a subjective assessment of patient’s symptoms. State-of-the-art DBS research focuses on recording brain activity to create a patient-specific neuronal profile that correlates with the...master thesis 2021

Oppenhuis, Lotte (author)This research begins with a fascination for nonhuman activeness. This is based within a theoretical framework of multispecies world, in which nonhumans are seen as active beings that continuously disturb. Seeing nonhumans as active beings causes some policies, or interventions, to look strange. One of these policies in the Netherlands is the new...master thesis 2021

Hendriksen, Maud (author)Introduction: A thigh push-off is often used as a compensation strategy for standing up by elderly people. However, the biomechanics of this movement are not known. In this thesis the standing-up movement with the use of the thigh push-off strategy (TP), the armrest push-off strategy (AR) and the no arm aid strategy (NA) was analysed. The aim...master thesis 2021

Ren, Yujia (author)The school garden is an indispensable part of modern education, which lets children physically learn natural science in school. Besides, in the last ten years, many kinds of research also show that school gardens are beneficial for children both physically and mentally. This paper focuses on analyzing the history of the school garden and...student report 2021

Groeninx van Zoelen, Annekee (author)With a shortage of over 300,000 homes, which will be even more in the coming years, the Netherlands has a social problem that needs to be solved (NOS, 2021; Bremmer & ten Teije, 2020). The Netherlands also needs to take more progressive measures in the field of sustainability in order to meet its goals. The relatively young concept of "tiny...student report 2021

Rots, S.J. (author)A critical discourse on the influence of the Modern Movement in urban design and planning has been taking place since the mid-20th century, accompanied by an ongoing search for opportunities to bring the human dimension, scale and self-organisation into this process. However, still a large number of new towns have been built across Asia and...doctoral thesis 2021

Jin, Zujin (author), Cheng, Gang (author), Pang, Y. (author), Xu, Shichang (author), Yuan, Dunpeng (author)During the processing of an optical mirror, the performance parameters of the bottom support system would affect the surface forming accuracy of the mirror. The traditional bottom support system has a large unadjustable support stiffness, which increases the difficulty of unloading the impact force generated by the grinding disc. In response to...journal article 2021

van Nes, A. (author)This contribution demonstrates how inner ring roads change the location pattern of shops in urban areas with the application of the space syntax method. A market rational behaviour persists, in that shop owners always search for an optimal location to reach as many customers as possible. If the accessibility to this optimal location is affected...journal article 2021

Quist, W.J. (author)The Dutch precast concrete company Schokbeton started activities in the early 1930’s, introducing well compacted concrete elements some of them plain, others mimicking the colour, details, and surface finishes of natural stone. Being a modern, industrially produced material with a traditional stone imitating look, Schokbeton served both...conference paper 2021

Smulders, M. (author), Vink, P. (author)(Dis)comfort research that has no information on behaviour of the participants can be considered as incomplete, as major influencing factors could be missed. For (dis)comfort research it is important to capture influential factors such as context and task/activity, posture, movement, (distracting) stimuli and time, as these factors have...journal article 2021

Sripada, Anirudh (author), Bazilinskyy, P. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)It may be necessary to introduce new modes of communication between automated vehicles (AVs) and pedestrians. This research proposes using the AV’s lateral deviation within the lane to communicate if the AV will yield to the pedestrian. In an online experiment, animated video clips depicting an approaching AV were shown to participants. Each...journal article 2021

Only a correct alignment results in clinically relevant kinematics. Model-based inertial-sensor-to-bone alignment methods relate inertial sensor measurements with a model of the joint....journal article 2021

(author), Joo, Rocío (author), Evers, L.G. (author), Smets, P.S.M. (author)Seabirds are amongst the most mobile of all animal species and spend large amounts of their lives at sea. They cross vast areas of ocean that appear superficially featureless, and our understanding of the mechanisms that they use for navigation remains incomplete, especially in terms of available cues. In particular, several large-scale...journal article 2021

(author), Toohey, Kevin (author), Duckham, Matt (author)Computing trajectory similarity is a fundamental operation in movement analytics, required in search, clustering, and classification of trajectories, for example. Yet the range of different but interrelated trajectory similarity measures can be bewildering for researchers and practitioners alike. This paper describes a systematic comparison...journal article 2021

Alsenafi, Abdulaziz (author), Barbaro, Alethea (author)We develop an agent-based model on a lattice to investigate territorial development motivated by markings such as graffiti, generalizing a previously-published model to account for K groups instead of two groups. We then analyze this model and present two novel variations. Our model assumes that agents’ movement is a biased random walk away...journal article 2021
