Wong, Olivia (author)This research provides a framework to evaluate participation processes and their contribution to citizen support for top-ups. The findings have illustrated how participation processes contribute to the support for top-ups by using a context-specific approach, adjusting the level of participation to the needs of both current and future residents,...master thesis 2024

Sadowski, Adam Jan (author), Wong, W.J. (author), Li, Sai Chung Simon (author), Málaga-Chuquitaype, Christian (author)This article describes a dataset used to calibrate a finite element model of a thick circular hollow section (CHS) with varying d/t (diameter to thickness) ratio under cyclic loading which may be used as a computational model validation benchmark by researchers working on similar problems in structural and mechanical engineering. The test...journal article 2024

Zhan, Shuguang (author), Xie, Jiemin (author), Wong, S. C. (author), Zhu, Y. (author), Corman, Francesco (author)External and internal factors can cause disturbances or disruptions in daily train operations, leading to deviations from official timetables and passenger delays. As a result, efficient train timetable rescheduling (TTR) methods are necessary to restore disrupted train services. Although TTR has been a popular research topic in recent years,...journal article 2024

Yap, M.D. (author), Wong, Howard (author), Cats, O. (author)Understanding how passengers perceive public transport interchanges is important to better explain current public transport mode and route choice behaviour and to better predict future demand levels. In this study we derive how passengers value a public transport interchange in a metropolitan context entirely based on recent, large-scale,...journal article 2024

Weijers, Robert J. (author), de Koning, Björn B. (author), Scholten, Ester (author), Wong, L.Y.J. (author), Paas, Fred (author)Asking questions is vital for learning, yet students seldom exhibit this behavior. Given the increasing presence of online classrooms in tertiary education, it is much needed to examine ways to encourage students to ask questions and increase their engagement. Despite the critical role of asking questions to enhance learning, little is known...journal article 2024

Wong, Janet (author)In the Netherlands, there has been a growing exposure of discriminatory practices across various domains. Notable instances such as the child benefit allowance scandal (referred to as the "toeslagen affaire") and concerns surrounding student allowance (DUO) have captured public attention. These problems are not confined to public domains;...master thesis 2023

Wong, Stephanie (author)Both urban voids and Bressoux are facing the same issue - exist in the city but do not belong to it. The voids are the by-product of urban planning, and the relationship between positive space (massing buildings) and negative spaces (voids) is barely included in design consideration. Generally, these spaces are perceived as a phenomenon of...master thesis 2023

Wong, Jasmine (author)The construction industry and the existing building stock are significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. To address this environmental challenge, there is a growing interest in using bio-based materials, such as wood, in architecture. Yet, the availability of wood resources is limited.<br/>Bamboo, a non-wood species, holds promise as...master thesis 2023

Shahroodi, Taha (author), Miao, Michael (author), Zahedi, M.Z. (author), Wong, J.S.S.M. (author), Hamdioui, S. (author)The high execution time of DNA sequence alignment negatively affects many genomic studies that rely on sequence alignment results. Pre-alignment filtering was introduced as a step before alignment to reduce the execution time of short-read sequence alignment greatly. With its success, i.e., achieving high accuracy and thus removing...conference paper 2023

Zahedi, M.Z. (author), Custers, Geert (author), Shahroodi, Taha (author), Gaydadjiev, G. (author), Wong, J.S.S.M. (author), Hamdioui, S. (author)Performing analysis on large graph datasets in an energy-efficient manner has posed a significant challenge; not only due to excessive data movements and poor locality, but also due to the non-optimal use of high sparsity of such datasets. The latter leads to a waste of resources as the computation is also performed on zero's operands which do...conference paper 2023
