Bluyssen, P.M. (author)Research has shown that, even though the indoor environmental conditions seem to comply with current guidelines and those conditions seem ‘comfortable’ enough, staying indoors is not good for our health. Reasons for this discrepancy might be the fact that these guidelines are based on single-dose response relationships to prevent negative...abstract 2023

(author), Scheltinga, Bouke (author), van der Burg, Sven (author), Baccinelli, Walter (author)Background: Smoking and physical inactivity are two key preventable risk factors of cardiovascular disease. Yet, as with most health behaviors, they are difficult to change. In the interdisciplinary Perfect Fit project, scientists from different fields join forces to develop an evidence-based virtual coach that supports smokers in quitting...abstract 2023

Azevedo Vasconcelos, A.C. (author), Aragon, A.M. (author), Schott, D.L. (author), Jovanova, J. (author)Elastic metamaterials have been mostly designed to control structural vibration for a specific frequency range. However, the stresses developed due to the wave propagation are not commonly consider in their design phase. This work proposes a multi-objective design optimization of a metamaterial-based interface to tune its dynamic characteristics...abstract 2023

Atzampou, P. (author), Meijers, P.C. (author), Tsouvalas, A. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)The present study introduces a modified version of PD Control for the<br/>case of a magnetically controlled pendulum. The response was observed in both<br/>experimental and numerical simulations taking into consideration the non-linearity posed by the system. The modified PD controller was compared to the simple counterpart for further concrete...abstract 2023

Meijers, P.C. (author), Atzampou, P. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)An experiment has been performed on a magnetic pendulum, which interacts with an electromagnet. The free non-linear vibrations of the pendulum-magnet system are studied to identify and analyse the system’s characteristics. Due to the presence of the electromagnet, a modulation of the pendulum’s natural frequency is observed. A mathematical model...abstract 2023

Aoun, J. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author), Nardone, Roberto (author), Quaglietta, E. (author), Vittorini, Valeria (author)Moving Block (MB) and Virtual Coupling (VC) rail signalling will change current train operation paradigm by migrating vital equipment from trackside to onboard to reduce train separation and maintenance costs. Their actual deployment is however constrained by the industry’s need to identify confi gurations of MB and VC signalling equipment which...abstract 2023

Cunillera, A. (author), Jonker, Harm (author), Scheepmaker, G.M. (author), Bogers, Wilbert (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)A large variety of supervision, data analysis and communication algorithms monitor trains, exploiting most of their available computational power. On-board eco-driving algorithms such as Driver Advisory Systems are no exception, as the computational power available can limit their complexity and features. This was the case of Roltijd, the in...abstract 2023

Rigos, K. (author), Quaglietta, E. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)This paper reviews the concept of self-organisation as defi ned in diff erent fi elds and attempts to provide a defi nition of goal-oriented self-organization that can be applied in the context of railway traffi c. Based on the provided defi nition a modelling approach for self-organising rail traffi c is then proposed to set the basis for...abstract 2023

Cipriani, L. (author)Lagoons, wetlands, islands, and their inland areas struggle between two opposing forces, permanence, and transformation.<br/>Coastal lagoons are constantly evolving dynamic natural ecosystems, shaped over the centuries by natural phenomena and ongoing anthropic interventions. The war between man and nature is waged on various fronts: geo...abstract 2023

Cipriani, L. (author)The Hambach mine is one of Europe’s largest and deepest open-cast coal mines. Humans have transformed the landscape to the point of giving life to a new geological era. The mine is the symbol of humanity’s power over territorial, environmental, and climatic transformations at impressive levels of scale and scope. This contribution sums up five...abstract 2023

Esteban, T.A.O.E. (author)Risk perception research has been used in flood risk management, environmental policies and programs, and the assessment of environmental attitudes and biases. Survey methods are frequently used in risk perception studies to assess a large population's perception of specific risks such as natural hazards. Others prefer focus group discussions...abstract 2023

Esteban, T.A.O.E. (author)Homes and communities are becoming more vulnerable to climate change. Particularly now, when the pace of climatic change is increasing, safety and liveability concerns are of the utmost importance. The two coastal delta cities of Rotterdam and Dordrecht make up the Greater Rotterdam Living Lab (GRLL) for the RED&BLUE research project. Both...abstract 2023

van den Heuvel, D. (author)This paper examines the case of Jaap Bakema (1914-81) as a precursor to participation and co-creation processes in city planning. Besides his architectural practice and prolific teaching, Dutch architect and Team 10 figurehead Bakema was deeply engaged in creating exhibitions to communicate his ideas to layman audiences. He played a role in de...abstract 2023
