Baker, Hannah (author), Moncaster, Alice (author), Wilkinson, Sara (author), Remøy, H.T. (author)Current adaptation theory tends to consider individual buildings or the city level, which cannot address decisions related to masterplan developments on large brownfield sites. This paper investigates the drivers for building demolition or retention and adaptation decisions at the masterplan scale. Expert interviews and three case studies are...journal article 2023

(author)As an initial step towards enabling the adaptation of (popular, and widely used) web search environments so that they can better serve children and ease their path towards information discovery, we introduce Recognizing Young Searchers (RYSe). RYSe leverages lexical, syntactical, spelling/punctuation, and vocabulary features that align with...conference paper 2023

Kingma, E. (author), Diepeveen, E.T. (author), Iñigo de la Cruz, L.M. (author), Laan, L. (author)The ability of cells to translate different extracellular cues into different intracellular responses is vital for their survival in unpredictable environments. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cell polarity is modulated in response to environmental signals which allows cells to adopt varying morphologies in different external conditions. The...journal article 2023

Lao-Martil, David (author), Verhagen, K.J.A. (author), Valdeira Caetano, Ana H. (author), Pardijs, Ilse H. (author), van Riel, Natal A.W. (author), Wahl, S.A. (author)Microbial metabolism is strongly dependent on the environmental conditions. While these can be well controlled under laboratory conditions, large-scale bioreactors are characterized by inhomogeneities and consequently dynamic conditions for the organisms. How Saccharomyces cerevisiae response to frequent perturbations in industrial...journal article 2023

Eskafi, Majid (author), Taneja, P. (author), Ulfarsson, Gudmundur F. (author)Maritime sectors have always been dealing with uncertainties and disruptions. The COVID pandemic confronted the cruise industry with severe and wide-ranging challenges on port infrastructure, operation, and services. Understanding the port performance before, during, and aftermath of the disruption helps stakeholders to increase the preparedness...book chapter 2022

Noll, B.L. (author), Filatova, T. (author), Need, Ariana (author)As climate change increases the probability and severity of natural hazards, the need for coordinated adaptation at all levels of society intensifies. Governmental-level adaptation measures are essential, but insufficient in the face of growing risks, necessitating complementary action from households. Apprehending the drivers of household...journal article 2022

Baker, Hannah (author), Moncaster, Alice (author), Remøy, H.T. (author), Wilkinson, Sara (author)Two key benefits of building retention and adaptation, over demolition and new build are identified in the academic literature as: the conservation of heritage, and reductions in embodied greenhouse gas emissions from construction materials. A four-year research project, including expert interviews, focus groups and three detailed case...journal article 2021

Jafino, B.A. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Klijn, F. (author), Dung, Nguyen Viet (author), van Delden, Hedwig (author), Haasnoot, Marjolijn (author), Sutanudjaja, Edwin H. (author)The need for explicitly considering equity in climate change adaptation planning is increasingly being recognized. However, evaluations of adaptation often adopt an aggregated perspective, while disaggregation of results is important to learn about who benefits when and where. A typical example is adaptation of rice agriculture in the Vietnam...journal article 2021

Comes, M. (author), van de Walle, B.A. (author), Van Wassenhove, Luk (author)Humanitarian disasters are highly dynamic and uncertain. The shifting situation, volatility of information, and the emergence of decision processes and coordination structures require humanitarian organizations to continuously adapt their operations. In this study, we aim to make headway in understanding adaptive decision-making in a dynamic...journal article 2020

Krohn, Alexander R. (author), Diepeveen, E.T. (author), Bi, Ke (author), Rosenblum, Erica Bree (author)Adaptation can occur with or without genome-wide differentiation. If adaptive loci are linked to traits involved in reproductive isolation, genome-wide divergence is likely, and speciation is possible. However, adaptation can also lead to phenotypic differentiation without genome-wide divergence if levels of ongoing gene flow are high. Here,...journal article 2019

Kulsum, U. (author), Timmermans, Jos (author), Khan, M. S.A. (author), Thissen, W.A.H. (author)Delta communities worldwide are facing a multitude of challenges in their life and livelihood. In many developing countries, improving the quality of life and livelihood is a key challenge. While development is a central goal of delta planning in such countries, the effectiveness of planning is challenged by uncertain changes in climate and...journal article 2019

Spoormans, L.G.K. (author)This chapter presents an analysis of adaptations of machiya, traditional Japanese townhouses, in Kyoto. The study aims to develop models for future reuse of machiya that combine contemporary lifestyles and traditional characteristics, in order to present possibilities for the preservation of machiya. The models for reuse are based on an...book chapter 2018

Bas, G. (author)Industrial systems increasingly need to become more resilient to developments in their environment. To take the right decisions and improve their resilience, those companies need insight into the effects of resilience-enhancing actions. A substantial part of those actions' effects follow from the adaptation of the focal company's environment in...doctoral thesis 2017

Keenan, J.M. (author)With climate change well underway, cities worldwide are struggling to develop and apply knowledge that will help advance social, environmental and economic adaptation to extreme weather and changing ecologies. Nowhere is this need more pressing than in the design, development and management of the built environment in New York City. In...doctoral thesis 2016

(author)Developing fresh water supply strategies for the long term needs to take into account the fact that the future is deeply uncertain. Not only the extent of climate change and the extent and nature of its impacts are unknown, also socio-economic conditions may change in unpredictable ways, as well as social preferences. Often, it is not possible...journal article 2015

Akkerman, M. (author), Khanh, N.T. (author), Witter, M. (author), Rutten, M.M. (author)Recently, the changes in laws and regulations, such as the revised Law on Water Resources in 2012, have sought to provide a legal framework for the internationally recognized practices of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) in Vietnam. With IWRM being a novel approach for Vietnam, it would be interesting to evaluate how well water...conference paper 2015

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Van der Lei, T. (author)Climate change is likely to affect how society will function in this century. Because climate change effects may be severe, a next step is to study not only the effects on natural systems, but also the effects on built infrastructure systems and, in response to anticipated effects, the adaptation of those systems. Studies that discuss...journal article 2014

Roders, M.J. (author), Straub, A. (author)Housing managers are constantly confronted with the changing demands that their building stock has to comply with. One of the change agents is the changing climate, caused primarily by human induced greenhouse gases. Though, even if the emissions of all these gases could now be put to a hold, the process of climate change would not completely...conference paper 2014
