Endendijk, Thijs (author), Botzen, W. J. Wouter (author), de Moel, Hans (author), Aerts, Jeroen C. J. H. (author), Slager, Kymo (author), Kok, M. (author)Flood events are expected to increase in their frequency and severity, which results in higher flood risk without additional adaptation measures. The information gained from flood risk models is essential in effective disaster risk management. However, vulnerability estimations are often a large driver of uncertainty, and flood damage is...journal article 2023

Pol, J.C. (author), Kindermann, P.E. (author), van der Krogt, M.G. (author), van Bergeijk, Vera M. (author), Remmerswaal, G. (author), Kanning, W. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), Kok, M. (author)Structural reliability analysis often considers failure mechanisms as correlated but non-interacting processes. Interacting failure mechanisms affect each others performance, and thereby the system reliability. We describe such interactions in the context of flood defenses, and analyze under which conditions such interactions have a large impact...journal article 2023

(author)This study provides an overview of the impact of the 2021 Summer floods in the Netherlands and the assessment of the effectiveness of various adaptation measures, evacuation strategies, and their impact on society. The floods were characterized by record rainfall in the cross-border region of the Meuse and Rhine basins and resulted in...journal article 2023

van der Voorn, Tom (author), Quist, J.N. (author), Svenfelt, Åsa (author), Kok, Kasper (author), Hickman, Robin (author), Sheppard, Stephen (author), Kanyama, Annika Carlsson (author), Banister, David (author)In the face of climate change, a major challenge is to inform and guide long-term climate change adaptation planning under deep uncertainty, while aiming at transformative change. Normative futures studies approaches, such as participatory backcasting, visioning and transition management, are increasingly applied, but their potential for climate...journal article 2023

Kok, Sjaak (author), Amoozandeh, A. (author), Radaelli, G. (author)Elastic structures that can deflect without springback, known as neutrally stable structures, form a remarkable group within their field, since they require the energetic state to remain unchanged during elastic deformation. Several examples in the literature obtain this state of neutral stability by the application of pre-stress, either as a...journal article 2023

Klerk, W.J. (author), van Bergeijk, Vera (author), Kanning, W. (author), Wolfert, A.R.M. (author), Kok, M. (author)The condition of flood defence revetments is influenced by many different degradation processes such as animal burrowing, rutting and growth of weeds. Many of these processes are shock-based rather than progressive continuous. As shocks can cause a drop in performance, this means that the condition of a revetment can suddenly decrease,...journal article 2023

den Heijer, F. (author), Kok, M. (author)A system of dikes in flood-prone areas continuously requires measures to mitigate changes such as ageing and climate change. Planning costly measures requires proper insight into system risk effects. Especially in a riverine dike system, the risk contributions of individual assets to the system flood risks are not independent, because...journal article 2023

van der Voorn, Tom (author), van den Berg, Caroline (author), Quist, J.N. (author), Kok, Kasper (author)The current COVID-19 pandemic has affected societies across the world while its economic impact has cut deeper than any recession since the Second World War. Climate change is potentially an even more disruptive and complex global challenge. Climate change could cause social and economic damage far larger than that caused by COVID-19. The...journal article 2022

(author)The application of partial nitritation-anammox (PN/A) under mainstream conditions can enable substantial cost savings at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), but how process conditions and cell physiology affect anammox performance at psychrophilic temperatures below 15 °C remains poorly understood. We tested 14 anammox communities, including...journal article 2022

Wahlstrom, Johan (author), Kok, M. (author)The last years have seen a growing body of literature on data-driven pedestrian inertial navigation. However, despite this, it is still unclear how to efficiently combine classical models and other a priori information with existing machine learning frameworks. In this paper, we first categorize existing approaches to data-driven pedestrian...journal article 2022

Kok, M. (author)Risk-informed decision-making needs methods for assessing flood risk, and often the flooding probability and the consequences of floods (such as economic damage and fatalities) play an important role in the risk assessment. Also, measures to reduce the flood risk need to be formulated, in order to make a risk-informed decision, whether to...book chapter 2022

Kok, M. (author), Eckhoff, Karsten (author), Weygers, Ive (author), Seel, Thomas (author)Real-time motion tracking of kinematic chains is a key prerequisite in the control of, e.g., robotic actuators and autonomous vehicles and also has numerous biomechanical applications. In recent years, it has been shown that, by placing inertial sensors on segments that are connected by rotational joints, the motion of that kinematic chain...journal article 2022

Rongen, G.W.F. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author), Kok, M. (author)The Wettelijk Beoordelingsinstrumentarium (WBI) is the legal set of instruments for flood risk analysis in the Netherlands. Often, engineers have the impression that some failure probabilities of flood defenses resulting from these instruments are overestimated. In an effort to better estimate the failure probabilities of dikes along the...journal article 2022

Rikkert, S.J.H. (author), Kok, M. (author), Lendering, K.T. (author), Jongejan, R.B. (author)Flood prone areas are often protected against flooding by an extensive network of flood defenses. To ensure their structural integrity, these flood defenses are periodically assessed. Many levees have been functioning well for decades, and have survived several relatively high hydraulic loads within their lifetime. However, information on...journal article 2022

Menzen, C.M. (author), Kok, M. (author), Batselier, K. (author)Multiway data often naturally occurs in a tensorial format which can be approximately represented by a low-rank tensor decomposition. This is useful because complexity can be significantly reduced and the treatment of large-scale data sets can be facilitated. In this paper, we find a low-rank representation for a given tensor by solving a...journal article 2022
