He, Shutong (author), Qian, QK (author), de Vries, G. (author)In the built environment sector, enhancing energy efficiency through energy retrofitting is a key strategy to mitigate climate change. Despite the efforts made by local municipalities to offer technical and financial support, the rate of home energy retrofit remains low. The decision to undertake home energy retrofit is complex for homeowners....abstract 2023

Weemstra, C. (author), Rahimi Dalkhani, A. (author), Ágústsdóttir, Þorbjörg (author), Guðnason, Egill Árni (author), Hersir, Gylfi Páll (author), Zhang, Xin (author)We report on a Bayesian (i.e., probabilistic) inversion for the shear-wave velocity structure of the Reykjanes peninsula, SW Iceland. Travel times of Rayleigh waves traversing the peninsula served as input to the probabilistic algorithm. These Rayleigh waves were retrieved through the application of seismic interferometry to yearlong recordings...abstract 2023

Velea, A. (author), Serdijn, W.A. (author), Giagka, Vasiliki (author)In an attempt to reduce the side effects caused by the chemically-based drugs used to treat neurological disorders, the field of bioelectronics has been focusing on the development of smart and reliable solutions that could, ideally, interact with the tissue at a resolution of individual cells.1 Conventionally, electrically-based systems have...abstract 2022

Kolovou Kouri, K. (author), Serdijn, W.A. (author), Giagka, Vasiliki (author)During the last few decades, electrical neural stimulators have successfully been employed as a means of treatment for a wide range of neurological disorders. By targeting the peripheral and central nervous systems, electrical neurostimulators activate/inhibit neural activity by manipulating the stimulus- induced electric field arising at the...abstract 2022

Yuan, T. (author), Song, Y. (author), Kraan, Gerald A. (author), Goossens, R.H.M. (author)This study measured the active range of motion (AROM) and functional range of motion (FROM) of finger joints and explored the relationships between them. The results revealed that the AROM cannot fully cover the FROM in some scenarios with force.abstract 2022

Sekwenz, M.T. (author), Wagner, Ben (author)The internet is a place where the political opinion of voters is ever more formed on platforms and their user-generated content globally. A sphere in which the right to free- dom of expression, information and free and fair election are core human rights normative safeguards for our democracy. Securing this process for whoever is not an easy...abstract 2022

Sekwenz, M.T. (author), Wagner, Ben (author)Content moderation is protecting human rights such as freedom of speech, as well as the right to impart and seek information. Online platforms implement rules to moderate content on their platforms through their Terms of Service (ToS), which provides for the legal grounds to delete content. Content moderation is an example of a socio-technical...abstract 2022

Medici, P. (author), Cavallo, R. (author)This research focuses on the architecture of degrowth with regard to the Circular Economy (CE) in the built environment and the role of the architect. Today, to achieve a sound CE, the challenge related to the global decoupling of economic growth from environmental degradation has to be addressed. The impossibility of pursuing economic growth in...abstract 2022

Rao, P.V. (author), Yin, F. (author), Grewe, V. (author), Yamashita, Hiroshi (author), Jöckel, Patrick (author), Matthes, Sigrun (author), Mertens, Mariano (author), Frömming, Christine (author)Aviation contributes to 3.5% of anthropogenic climate change in terms of Effective Radiative Forcing (ERF) and 5% in terms of temperature change. Aviation climate impact is expected to increase rapidly due to the growth of air transport sector in most regions of the world and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are expected to only have a...abstract 2022

Kaandorp, C. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), Abraham, E. (author)Transitioning towards renewable heating is important to minimise the use of fossil fuels and abate carbon emissions, because heating accounts for 50% of the final energy consumption and 40% of carbon dioxide emissions globally. In the city of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, the aim is to transition towards renewable heating by 2040 and achieve...abstract 2022

Maruhashi, J. (author), Grewe, V. (author), Frömming, Christine (author), Jöckel, Patrick (author), Dedoussi, I.C. (author)The resilient growth of air travel demands a comprehensive understanding of the climate effects from aviation emissions. The current level of knowledge of the environmental repercussions of CO2 emissions is considerably higher than that of non-CO2 emissions, which includes nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), other aerosols like black...abstract 2022

Campos Uribe, A. (author)The imaginary encounter above recalls how Aldo van Eyck (1919-1999) explained his de- sign for the Sonsbeek Pavilion (1965-66), which possessed something of the closeness, density and intricacy of things urban, in the sense that people and things met, converged and clashed there. The idea was synthesised in a famous drawing, where Van Eyck care-...abstract 2022

However, in-field missions can present logistic and safety challenges that do not make them viable in every post-disaster scenario. Remote sensing technique...abstract 2022

Dekemper, Emmanuel (author), Vanhamel, J. (author), Van Roozendael, Michel (author)An instrument capable of imaging the field of NO2 in various open-air situations has been designed, manufactured, and tested. It is an improved version of the NO2 camera relying on an AOTF (acousto-optical tunable filter) which has demonstrated, amongst other things, its capability to quantify the NO2 released by power plant smokestacks. The...abstract 2022

Panskus, R. (author), Serdijn, W.A. (author), Giagka, Vasiliki (author)Over the past decades, neuromodulation has been proven to be an effective treatment for several neurological disorders. Moreover, it continues to be a rapidly evolving field with a wide-ranging potential for biomedical applications. However, efficient and patient-specific targeted neuromodulation remains one of the biggest challenges for...abstract 2022
