Ban, Hanyuan (author)Gaussian process regression (GPR), a potent non-parametric data modeling tool, has gained attention but is hindered by its high com- putational load. State-of-the-art low-rank approximations like struc- tured kernel interpolation (SKI)-based methods offer efficiency, yet lack a strategy for determining the number of grid points, a pivotal factor...master thesis 2023

Lee, Michael (author)Summary<br/><br/>Numerous ancient historical constructions worldwide depend primarily on an extensive array of wooden foundation piles, as they are subject to loading conditions governed by the superstructure above. Wooden foundations transfer loads through a combination of compression and lateral resistance. The inherent strength of wood...master thesis 2023

ANDRIANOS, PAVLOS (author)This graduation project, having as a starting point the concept of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), highlights the importance of high-density mixed-use developments around railway stations.<br/>With this goal in mind, the station area of Amsterdam Sloterdijk was selected as a case study location. Sloterdijk is an important node within the...master thesis 2023

Xu, Liangliang (author), Li, X. (author), Atif, Muhammad (author), Li, Yulong (author)Foamed concrete is an essential material in engineering that can be categorized into two types based on density distribution, namely uniform foamed concrete (UFC) and gradient foamed concrete (GFC). However, there exists a research gap concerning the mesoscopic deformation mechanism of UFC and GFC. The objective of this research is to bridge...journal article 2023

Keur, Julius (author)High performance machines rely on fast moving parts and generally avoid resonance for improved accuracy. To improve the dynamic properties of these high performance machines, their parts are optimized via a lengthy iterative process. Topology optimization for vibrations problems could shorten this time consuming design process and provide a more...master thesis 2022

Bolhuis, Thirza (author)Layman Summary<br/>The goal of this paper is to study how waves move over a fluid in with an underlying current. Oceans displace debris and heat. Ocean models can be used to predict the movement of debris and even predict the effect of the movements of oceans on the climate. Modeling water can be improved by introducing more information from...bachelor thesis 2022

Shakeel, A. (author)The nautical bottom (the level at which contact with a ship’s keel causes either damage or unacceptable effects on controllability and manoeuvrability of a ship) should be associated to a measurable physical characteristic. Bulk density is typically used as a criterion for nautical bottom by many ports worldwide. However, the rheological...doctoral thesis 2022

Kirichek, Alex (author), Shakeel, A. (author), Chassagne, C. (author), Gebert, J. (author)In some ports and waterways, hindered (delayed) settling of mud suspended in the water phase can be detected. Hindered settling phenomena are typically linked to a combination of sediment properties, suspended sediment concentration or density, hydrodynamic conditions, presence or absence of organic bridging between mud particles and the...conference paper 2022

Desmond, Peter (author), Huisman, Kees Theo (author), Sanawar, Huma (author), Farhat, Nadia M. (author), Traber, Jacqueline (author), Fridjonsson, Einar O. (author), Johns, Michael L. (author), Flemming, Hans Curt (author), Picioreanu, C. (author), Vrouwenvelder, J.S. (author)The application of membrane technology for water treatment and reuse is hampered by the development of a microbial biofilm. Biofilm growth in micro-and ultrafiltration (MF/UF) membrane modules, on both the membrane surface and feed spacer, can form a secondary membrane and exert resistance to permeation and crossflow, increasing energy demand...journal article 2022

Spencer, K. L. (author), Wheatland, J. A. (author), Carr, S. J. (author), Manning, A. J. (author), Bushby, A. J. (author), Gu, C. (author), Botto, L. (author), Lawrence, T. (author)Natural sediment flocs are fragile and highly heterogeneous aggregates of biogenic and minerogenic material typically with high porosity and low density. In aquatic environments dominated by fine, cohesive or mixed sediments they can dominate suspended sediment flux. Consequently, monitoring and modelling the behaviour, transport and...journal article 2022

Smith, A.L. (author)Molten salts have recently received increased attention worldwide as key materials for sustainable and low-carbon energy supply technologies (e.g. thermal energy storage, concentrated solar power technologies, fission and fusion nuclear reactors) thanks to their appealing thermo-physical properties. In particular, they are used as fuel and...review 2022

(author), Bloem, Bastiaan R. (author), Krijthe, J.H. (author), Groenewoud, Stef (author)Background: Optimal care for Parkinson’s disease (PD) requires coordination and collaboration between providers within a complex care network. Individual patients have personalised networks of their own providers, creating a unique informal network of providers who treat (‘share’) the same patient. These ‘patient-sharing networks’ differ in...journal article 2022

van der Harst, Jasmijn (author)Today, our world is in crisis. No single part of the world can withstand the destructive effects of climate change. So it’s time for action! Rethinking the future presents a blueprint for a new way of life that maximizes the density of a city while creating the highest quality of life for it’s citizens. A new way of life with the smallest carbon...master thesis 2021

Shakeel, A. (author), Kirichek, Alex (author), Chassagne, C. (author)Mud, a cohesive material, consists of water, clay minerals, sand, silt and small quantities of organic matter (i.e., biopolymers). Amongst the different mud layers formed by human or natural activities, the fluid mud layer found on top of all the others is quite important from navigational point of view in ports and waterways. Rheological...book chapter 2021

Smink, Rebecca (author)Using Stratford as a case study, this research aims to address the lack of consideration for creating affordances of coexistence between local and global communities within areas subject to large scale regeneration projects. This process of chance in favour of attracting more affluent residents can lead to the complete displacement of local...master thesis 2020

Rijpkema, Sjoerd (author)Young families are leaving the city, moving to outskirts, and surrounding municipalities. There seems to be a mismatch, in an increasing amount families cannot find a dwelling or think that living in the city is not suitable for children. This is an undesirable trend, as children determine to a large extent the support of many facilities, make...master thesis 2020

Ding, Yiqi (author)Since the economic reform in 1978, Shanghai has experienced rapid growth and development. In the past three decades, Shanghai is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world. Today, the Central Government had issued, "Shanghai will not expand itself," according to Shanghai Masterplan 2017-2035. So, China's urban development is facing a turning...master thesis 2020

Hoekstra, Erik (author)In the coming decades, cities will have to house a lot more residents. For now, this unavoidable change is yet unimaginable. However, cities do have to prepare for challenges to come. Cities face the task to offer more housing in an already set framework of the existing context. How can a provision of housing be made in a dense urban context...master thesis 2020

Dillon Peynado, Thomas (author)We have entered the epoch of the Anthropocene. Now with humanity itself being a sizeable force of nature, we can no longer ignore the impact we have on the planet’s systems, as it is also increasingly impacting our societies, through climate change. This is occurring while major cities are still experiencing an increase in population. Amsterdam...master thesis 2020

Nagalur Subraveti, H.H.S. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), van Arem, B. (author)For better and more efficient motorway traffic control strategies on a lane level, accurate modelling and prediction of traffic conditions is essential. Existing real-time traffic state estimation methods aggregate traffic across lanes. Hence, there is a need for lane-specific traffic flow models. The majority of the existing macroscopic lane...conference paper 2020
