Korenhof, Sophie A. (author), Fang, Yuan (author), Luo, Jie (author), van der Cammen, T.J.M. (author), Raat, Hein (author), van Grieken, Amy (author)Background: Due to the aging population, there is a need for monitoring well-being and safety while living independently. A low-intrusive monitoring system is based on a person’s use of energy or water. Objective: The study's objective was to provide a systematic overview of studies that monitor the health and well-being of older people using...review 2023

van IJsseldijk, J.E. (author), Brackenhoff, Joeri (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)The data-driven Marchenko method is able to redatum wavefields to arbitrary locations in the subsurface, and can, therefore, be used to isolate zones of specific interest. This creates a new reflection response of the target zone without interference from over- or underburden reflectors. Consequently, the method is well suited to obtain a...journal article 2023

Helmons, R.L.J. (author)There is an expected increase in demand of critical raw materials, e.g. nickel and cobalt, mainly driven by the shift towards renewable energy solutions and the increase in production of electric vehicles. That trend has raised the interests for the mining of polymetallic nodules. The most extensive nodule depostions are found on the abyssal...conference paper 2022

Gebert, J. (author), Huber-Humer, Marion (author), Cabral, Alexandre R. (author)Landfill methane currently represents the largest global source of greenhouse gas emissions from the solid waste sector. Emissions are expected to increase due to increasing waste generation, particularly in countries still landfilling biodegradable wastes. As a complementary measure to gas extraction with subsequent flaring or energy conversion...review 2022

Alcañiz Moya, A. (author), Nikam, Maitheli M. (author), Snow, Yitzi (author), Isabella, O. (author), Ziar, H. (author)Monitoring residential scale photovoltaic (PV) systems is important for maximizing the energy yield and detecting malfunctions. Analytical-based approaches are not reliable in these systems because of the lack of on-site measurements and detailed PV system specifications. In this paper, a collaborative approach is proposed which does not...journal article 2022

Anupam, K. (author), Liu, X. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author), Apostolidis, P. (author), Erkens, S. (author), van Aggelen, M. (author)Membranes of sufficient bonding characteristics could improve the integrity of the multi-layer structures on orthotropic steel deck bridges (OSBDs), enhancing thus the structural response of these systems and, ultimately, their service life. In this research, full-scale experiments were performed at the LINTRACK accelerated pavement testing...journal article 2022

Macchiarulo, V. (author), Milillo, Pietro (author), Blenkinsopp, Chris E. (author), Reale, Cormac (author), Giardina, Giorgia (author)Worldwide, transport infrastructure is increasingly vulnerable to aging-induced deterioration and climate-related hazards. Often, inspection and maintenance costs far exceed the available resources, and numerous assets lack any rigorous structural evaluation. Space-borne synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) is a powerful remote...journal article 2022

Lepot, M.J. (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)The knowledge of water levels and discharges in urban drainage and stormwater management (UDSM) systems is of key importance to understand their functioning and processes, to evaluate their performance, and to provide data for modelling. In this chapter, devoted mainly to underground combined and separate sewer pipe systems, various methods and...book chapter 2021

Martins, Joana E. (author), Hooper, A.J. (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author)After decades of oil, gas, and coal exploitation, we have learned about some of the unpleasant aftereffects of subsurface resource exploration. Adverse long-term impacts, some known during exploration periods, others only afterwards, may include induced seismicity, land subsidence, or even sinkholes. While geothermal is currently seen as a...conference paper 2021

van IJsseldijk, J.E. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)4D seismic studies aim to observe time-lapse changes in the subsurface between a baseline and a monitor study. These changes are generally small, and the seismic response from a deep reservoir can be concealed by reflections from shallow structures. Here, we introduce a novel way of isolating the reservoir response by means of the Marchenko...book chapter 2021

Lukina, A. (author), Schilling, Christian (author), Henzinger, Thomas A. (author)Neural-network classifiers are trained to achieve high prediction accuracy. However, their performance still suffers from frequently appearing inputs of unknown classes. As a component of a cyber-physical system, the classifier in this case can no longer be reliable and is typically retrained. We propose an algorithmic framework for monitoring...conference paper 2021

Zotz-Wilson, R.D. (author)We all monitor the world around us through waves. After about sixteen weeks in the womb, the ears and eyes of an infant child begin to deliver the first signals of light and sound waves to the brain. In fact, one could argue that consciousness itself is the feeling one receives when processing large amounts of wavefield data. Despite the...doctoral thesis 2020
