Maheng, M.D. (author), Bhattacharya, Biswa (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author), Pathirana, Assela (author)The increasing global population and in-country migration have a significant impact on global land use land cover (LULC) change, which reduces green spaces and increases built-up areas altering the near-surface radiation and energy budgets, as well as the hydrological cycle over an urban area. The LULC change can lead to a combination of hazards...journal article 2024

Li, Sihui (author), Peng, Jinqing (author), Wang, Meng (author), Wang, Kai (author), Li, Houpei (author), Lu, C.J. (author)The energy matching of PV driven air conditioners is influenced by building load demand and PV generation. Merely increasing energy performance of building or PV capacity separately may improve the energy balance on a large time resolution, the real-time energy mismatching problem is still serious. In this study, a coordinated optimization...journal article 2024

Cheng, Y. (author), Krishnakumari, P.K. (author)To analyze inherent and diverse patterns within line-based public transport daily delay occurrences, we introduce a data-driven exploratory analysis focused on the spatial-temporal distribution of these delays. Our approach relies on the utilization of the image pattern recognition technique and k-means clustering algorithm. We extract daily...journal article 2024

Nelson, R.J. (author), Warnier, Martijn (author), Verma, T. (author)Changes in policy over the last thirty years, particularly within advanced economies, have allowed for increased financialization, deregulation and globalisation of housing. What differentiates real-estate from other financial markets is that it possesses a salient socio-spatial geography. Housing inequalities are often framed as an outcome...journal article 2024

Wikkerink, D.P. (author), Gagic, Mladen (author), Mor, A. R. (author), Polinder, H. (author), Ross, Robert (author)A degaussing system can be used to reduce the detectability of the magnetic signature of a ship. Commonly, a degaussing system consists of a set of onboard copper coils that produce a magnetic field to compensate for the magnetic signature. High-temperature superconductive degaussing coils are considered an alternative to copper degaussing...journal article 2024

Hemel, M. (author), Peters, D.J. (author), Schweckendiek, T. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)The historic canal walls of Amsterdam, stretching 200 km in total, are constructed as a masonry wall on a timber deck supported by vertical timber piles. Understanding the resistance against lateral failure of these quays has been challenging due to uncertainties in their working principles, geometry, soil and structural properties. This...journal article 2024

Jankovic, T.J. (author), Straathof, Adrie J.J. (author), Kiss, A.A. (author)Isobutanol is a highly attractive renewable alternative to conventional fossil fuels, with superior fuel properties as compared to ethanol and 1-butanol. Even though the isobutanol production by fermentation has significant potential, complex downstream processing is limiting the wide-spreading of this technology. Accordingly, this original...journal article 2024

van Dinten, I. (author), Derakhshanfar, Pouria (author), Panichella, A. (author), Zaidman, A.E. (author)Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) have gained traction in recent years. A major non-functional quality of CPS is performance since it affects both usability and security. This critical quality attribute depends on the specialized hardware, simulation engines, and environmental factors that characterize the system under analysis. While a large body...journal article 2024
