de Bruijn, Karin (author), Buurman, Joost (author), Mens, Marjolein (author), Dahm, Ruben (author), Klijn, F. (author)The concept of resilience is used by many in different ways: as a scientific concept, as a guiding principle, as inspirational ‘buzzword’, or as a means to become more sustainable. Next to the academic debate on meaning and notions of resilience, the concept has been widely adopted and interpreted in policy contexts, particularly related to...journal article 2017

(author)This paper explores the connections between farm modernisation, rural development and the resilience of agricultural and rural systems. The paper starts by ascertaining why agricultural and food systems need to change systemically. Evidence from case studies in fourteen countries is used to explore the possibilities for, and drivers and...journal article 2017

Calvert, S.C. (author), Snelder, M. (author)Major and minor disturbances can have a considerable impact on the performance of road networks. In this respect, resilience is considered as the ability of a road section to resist and to recover from disturbances in traffic flow. In this contribution, an indicator is presented, the Link Performance Index for Resilience (LPIR), which evaluates...journal article 2017

Muhammad Iqbal, M.A.F. (author), Kuipers, F.A. (author)Networks are typically embedded in non-homogeneous areas and different parts/regions of the network may therefore be at risk from different types of disasters. This non-homogeneity leads to difficulties in protecting the network against (the risk of) disasters. Network operators need to be able to integrate predictions on possible future...conference paper 2017

Zheng, Menghan (author)Climate change is a global issue that influences worldwide. Its impacts are expected to be particularly severe in coastal cities, which are the center of discussion addressing this phenomenon. While it is impossible to ever fully eliminate risks from flooding, there are many measures available to manage and adapt to those risks. The Embarcadero,...master thesis 2017

van Leeuwen, Simon (author)All ships rely on many on board systems to reliably complete their missions (e.g. transporting containers, laying pipes or protecting the seas). However, for many of these ships, the detailed design of these systems is put off until the later stages of the design. For most ships, this will create no problems. However, for those complex vessels...master thesis 2017

Mulderij, Jesse (author)The study of the dynamics of large, complex networks is generally very hard. Analytical solutions are rarely available and numerical solutions require immense computation times. Recently, Gao et al. [1]have proposed a new theoretical approach to analyse the average behaviour of complex networks. In this research we discuss the derivation of the...bachelor thesis 2017

Knappers, Lena (author)This thesis project examined theories and practices of migration in Dutch urban space and observed that two tensions can be recognised. First, there is the tension between the dynamic nature of migration – migration as ongoing flow - and the rigid institutional and governmental practices offered as solutions. Second, a tension can be noticed...master thesis 2017
