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

Menzen, C.M. (author), Memmel, E.M. (author), Batselier, K. (author), Kok, M. (author)This paper presents a method for approximate Gaussian process (GP) regression with tensor networks (TNs). A parametric approximation of a GP uses a linear combination of basis functions, where the accuracy of the approximation depends on the total number of basis functions M. We develop an approach that allows us to use an exponential amount...journal article 2023

de Bruin, P. E. (author), Kaczmarek, M.B. (author), Kok, M. (author), Hassan HosseinNia, S. (author)This study evaluates three recursive Bayesian input and state estimation algorithms, as introduced in the field of Structural Health Monitoring, for estimating modal contributions for high-tech compliant mechanisms. The aim of estimating modal contributions is the use for active vibration control. High-tech compliant motion stages allow for...journal article 2023

Viset, F.M. (author), Helmons, R.L.J. (author), Kok, M. (author)We present a computationally efficient algorithm for using variations in the ambient magnetic field to compensate for position drift in integrated odometry measurements (dead-reckoning estimates) through simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). When the magnetic field map is represented with a reduced-rank Gaussian process (GP) using...journal article 2022

den Heijer, F. (author), Kok, M. (author)Dikes are an effective flood risk reduction measure in deltaic areas. Present risk analyses consist often of decoupled calculations of probabilities of dike failure and calculation of consequences of flooding given dike failure. However, the flood defense design determines not only the probability of failure, but influences the consequences...journal article 2022

Kammouh, O. (author), Kok, M.W.A. (author), Nogal Macho, M. (author), Binnekamp, R. (author), Wolfert, A.R.M. (author)Changes in a construction project schedule can impact the project's planned duration, resulting in penalties. A manual trial-and-error probabilistic approach is usually conducted to find an appropriate set of corrective measures to mitigate delays of the overall project. However, this approach does not capture the actual goal-oriented...journal article 2022

(author), van Niftrik, Laura (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Weissbrodt, D.G. (author)The adaptation of bacteria involved in anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) to low temperatures will enable more efficient removal of nitrogen from sewage across seasons. At lower temperatures, bacteria typically tune the synthesis of their membrane lipids to promote membrane fluidity. However, such adaptation of anammox bacteria lipids,...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

Verhoeven, Gijs (author), Vergara Barrios, P.P. (author), Salazar Duque, Edgar Mauricio (author), Kok, Koen (author)To guarantee a successful deployment of a droop-based control strategy to mitigate overvoltage problems caused by solar photovoltaic (PV) generation, Distribution System Operators (DSOs) will need to estimate the amount of active power curtailed by the PV inverters for billing purposes.

Kok, M. (author), Viset, F.M. (author), Osman, M.E.A. (author)In this work, our focus is on indoor localization using the indoor magnetic field as a source of position information. This relies on the fact that ferromagnetic materials inside buildings cause the magnetic field to vary spatially. We jointly estimate the pose of a combined sensor module (containing a magnetometer) as well as the magnetic field...conference paper 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

Osman, M.E.A. (author), Viset, F.M. (author), Kok, M. (author)In this paper, a simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm for tracking the motion of a pedestrian with a foot-mounted inertial measurement unit is proposed. The algorithm uses two maps, namely, a motion map and a magnetic field map. The motion map captures typical motion patterns of pedestrians in buildings that are constrained by e.g....conference paper 2022

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.
