Vleugel, J (author), Bal, Frans (author)Densely populated areas are major sources of air, soil and water pollution. Agriculture, manufacturing, consumer households and road traffic all have their share. This is particularly true for the country featured in this paper: the Netherlands. Continuous pollution of the air and soil manifests itself as acification, decalcification and...conference paper 2023

Copeland, S.M. (author), Hinrichs-Krapels, S. (author), Fecondo, Federica (author), Santizo, Esteban Ralon (author), Bal, Roland (author), Comes, M. (author)BACKGROUND: Prompted by recent shocks and stresses to health systems globally, various studies have emerged on health system resilience. Our aim is to describe how health system resilience is operationalised within empirical studies and previous reviews. We compare these to the core conceptualisations and characteristics of resilience in a...journal article 2023

Bal, Frans (author), Vleugel, J (author)Climate change is related with weather extremes, which may cause damages to infrastructure used by freight transport services. Heavy rainfall may lead to flooding and damage to railway lines, roads and inland waterways. Extreme drought may lead to extremely low water levels, which prevent safe navigation by inland barges. Wet and dry periods may...journal article 2023

Kotuniak, Radosław (author), Szczerba, Paulina (author), Sudzik, Dobromiła (author), Strampraad, M.J.F. (author), Hagedoorn, P.L. (author), Bal, Wojciech (author)We used a series of modified/substituted GGH analogues to investigate the kinetics of Cu(ii) binding to ACTUN peptides. Rules for rate modulation by 1<sup>st</sup> and 2<sup>nd</sup> sphere interactions were established, providing crucial insight into elucidation of the reaction mechanism and its contribution to biological copper transport.journal article 2022

Vleugel, J (author), Bal, F (author)Rail freight transport is a key economic activity; many businesses and people rely on it. It should be available when needed and efficient in use. There are however factors that may reduce the availability and quality of a rail freight service offering. A distinction can be made between what may be called systemic factors, like congestion,...conference paper 2022

Arslan, O. (author), Messali, F. (author), Smyrou, E. (author), Bal, İ.E. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)The seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings with cavity walls is a relevant issue in many countries, such as in Central and Northern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, China and several other countries. A cavity wall consists of two separate parallel masonry walls (called leaves) connected by metal ties: an inner loadbearing wall...journal article 2021

Bal, Frans (author), Vleugel, J (author)Many countries have enhanced their air quality agenda (NOx, PMx etc.) by a climate change agenda (CO2 etc.). A direct way to lower these emissions is by using less energy (fuel) per activity. One of these activities is freight transport. Transport from supplier to factory relies on efficient and cost-effective means of transport. Road...journal article 2021

Arslan, O. (author), Messali, F. (author), Smyrou, Eleni (author), Bal, Ihsan E. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)In recent years, the number of human-induced earthquakes in Groningen, a large gas field in the north of the Netherlands, has increased. The majority of the buildings are built by using unreinforced masonry (URM), most of which consists of cavity (i.e. two-leaf) walls, and were not designed to withstand earthquakes. Efforts to define, test...journal article 2021

Bal, Frans (author), Vleugel, J (author)In a world where the population and many economies are expanding rapidly the demand for freight transport keeps rising accordingly. As more goods are transported by a growing number of freight vehicles, in particular trucks and sea vessels, their already considerable negative environmental impact also rises. Technology advances, but demand...journal article 2020

(author), Bal, Wojciech (author)The amino-terminal copper and nickel/N-terminal site (ATCUN/NTS) present in proteins and bioactive peptides exhibits high affinity towards Cu<sup>II</sup> ions and have been implicated in human copper physiology. Little is known, however, about the rate and exact mechanism of formation of such complexes. We used the stopped-flow and...journal article 2020

de Bok, M.A. (author), Bal, Ivar (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Tillema, Taede (author)In this paper we explore the possible impacts of a distance- and emission-class based truck charge in The Netherlands. Earlier studies suggest that shifts may occur towards heavy vehicles, due to the relative inefficiency of lighter vehicles types. However, these studies have not taken into account the effects of changes in shipment size, as...journal article 2020

Vleugel, J (author), Bal, Frans (author)Modern societies rely on mass mobility, in particular by private car. Car numbers are growing worldwide due to economic and other factors. Nearly, all have engines that run on fossil fuels. Use of fossil fuels contributes to climate change (via CO <sub>2</sub>-emissions) and local air pollution (primary NO <sub>x</sub>- and PM <sub>10</sub>...journal article 2019

Vleugel, J (author), Bal, Frans (author)Tourism is a fast-growing key industry, which provides an economic rationale for governments to stimulate it. The more it grows, the higher the negative environmental effects and the more the use of space, resources, pollution and travel. Sustainable tourism aims to strike a balance between the environmental, economic and social effects of...journal article 2019

Bal, F (author), Vleugel, J (author)Road transport offers important logistic benefits at a reasonable cost for producers and consumers, hence its large market share. But, its use of diesel or gas generates large volumes of Co2, nox and pm10 (among others). Higher emission standards and demand for greener transport call for alternatives. literature analysis, a simulated Dutch...journal article 2018

Vleugel, J (author), Bal, Frans (author)Climate change mitigation calls for a massive reduction in CO2-emissions from human sources. A primary human source is combustion of fossil fuels. Transport by road is one of the major and growing users of fossil fuels worldwide. Private cars with internal combustion engines dominate our roads. This paper discusses the feasibility of aligning...conference paper 2018

Vleugel, J (author), Bal, Frans (author)Regional goods delivery fulfils an essential socio-economic function, in particular, in dense urbanized areas in countries like The Netherlands. Shippers (producers or traders), transport service providers, businesses and private households favour road transport, because of logistic and financial reasons. Delivery and pick-up vehicles are mainly...journal article 2018

Bal, Frans (author), Vleugel, J (author)Overland transport of goods mainly goes by road. Road freight transport, trucking in particular, has a large share in the energy consumption, CO2-emissions and air pollution by human activities. This will become an even bigger issue with the expected massive growth of road freight transport.<br/>Climate change mitigation asks for a major...conference paper 2017

Vleugel, J (author), Bal, Frans (author)Many people live in cities today. Many more will do so in future. This increases the demand for space and (space for) transport. Space to expand roads is usually scarce. Building tunnels or elevated bridges is very expensive. Solving one bottleneck creates a next bottleneck downstream. More road infrastructure leads to more cars and more cars to...conference paper 2017

Vleugel, J (author), Bal, Frans (author)Een autonome auto bestond al in een droombeeld van GM in de VS rond 1940. Zo’n 40 jaar verder, in 1977, reed de eerste autonome auto uit een Japans lab. Sinds decennia wordt door ingenieurs gewerkt aan systemen die de autobestuurder overbodig kunnen maken. De stap van zelf rijden naar vanzelf rijden wordt door autofabrikanten ingeleid door in...conference paper 2016
