Hofman, Björn (author), de Vries, G. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author)Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of this century. To contain its effects, the way we act would have to change significantly. Especially in the building sector, much progress can be made. Attempts have been made to stimulate sustainable behavior in the industry, for example, by implementing sustainable building measures in...journal article 2022

(author), Morreau, Hans (author), Vahrmeijer, Alexander L. (author)BACKGROUND: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal malignancy in need of effective (immuno)therapeutic treatment strategies. For the optimal application and development of cancer immunotherapies, a comprehensive understanding of local and systemic immune profiles in patients with PDAC is required. Here, our goal was to...journal article 2022

Stammes, Hanna (author), Henze, Ineke (author), Barendsen, Erik (author), de Vries, M.J. (author)Design-based learning is considered a powerful way to help students apply and develop understanding of science concepts, but research has shown that the success of this approach is not a given. Examining students' understanding of science concepts in various design-based learning contexts has thus continued to be an important field of research....journal article 2022

Tripathi, Jayanshi (author), de Vries, Roelof A. J. (author), Lemke, M. (author)Persuasion can be defined as an active attempt by a person to change the behavior and attitudes of others. The purposive attempt to influence one’s behavior can originate from different areas, and people who are able to do so are often referred to as influencers. Social media platforms such as Instagram or YouTube have become crucial platforms...journal article 2022

de Vries, P. (author)Emerging technologies are part of the constituting datafication and digitalization process that poses major challenges to the current educational infrastructure. Clearly, universities are challenged to respond to the demands that seem to develop faster and become more complex over time. The complexity, though, is not just technical; it is the...journal article 2022

(author)Sandy coasts form the interface between land and sea and their morphologies are highly dynamic. A combination of human and natural forcing results in morphologic changes affecting both nature values and coastal safety. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is a technique enabling near-continuous monitoring of the changing morphology of a sandy...journal article 2022

Finger, D. Felix (author), de Vries, R. (author), Vos, Roelof (author), Braun, Carsten (author), Bil, Cees (author)The number of studies on hybrid-electric aircraft is steadily increasing because these configurations can lead to lower operating costs and environmental impact than traditional aircraft. However, due to the lack of reference data of actual hybrid-electric aircraft, the design tools and results are difficult to validate. This paper analyzes...journal article 2022

Mirra, M. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), de Vries, P.A. (author), Messali, F. (author)In the province of Groningen (NL), where human-induced earthquakes take place due to gas extraction, a large part of the building stock is composed of brick masonry walls and timber diaphragms. In this framework, timber-masonry connections play a crucial role in the global seismic response of the buildings, but their properties and structural...journal article 2022

van IJzendoorn, Christa (author), Hallin, E.C. (author), Cohn, Nicholas (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), de Vries, S. (author)In sandy beach systems, the aeolian sediment transport can be governed by the vertical structure of the sediment layers at the bed surface. Here, data collected with a newly developed sand scraper is presented to determine high-resolution vertical grain size variability and how it is affected by marine and aeolian processes. Sediment samples...journal article 2022

Coastal aeolian sediment transport in an active bed surface layer: Tracer study and conceptual modelUphues, Charlotte F.K. (author), van IJzendoorn, Christa (author), Hallin, E.C. (author), Pearson, S.G. (author), van Prooijen, Bram (author), Miot da Silva, Graziela (author), de Vries, S. (author)Coastal aeolian sediment transport is influenced by supply-limiting factors caused by sediment sorting by grain size. Sorting processes can lead to coarsening of the bed surface and influence the formation of aeolian ripples. However, the influence sorting processes and bedforms might have on the magnitude of the transport is not fully...journal article 2022
