van der Wal, Wouter (author)The planning of air cargo across an airlines' network is proven to be a complex problem consisting of multiple subproblems. Currently, all these subproblems are solved sequentially and by hand, resulting in partial solutions instead of an integrated solution. Two of these subproblems are the palletization of items onto ULDs and the scheduling of...master thesis 2021

van der Wal, Hannah (author)Oceanic CO2 capture technology can be used as a negative emission technology, or pre-treatment to reduce inorganic fouling (i.e., scaling) potential when further processing seawater. In this work CO2 from (synthetic) seawater was captured electrochemically via bipolar membrane electrodialysis. Although previous studies showed promising results...master thesis 2021

van Calcar, C.J. (author), de Boer, Bas (author), Blank, B. (author), van de Wal, Roderik S W (author), van der Wal, W. (author)The Earth’s surface and interior deform due to a changing load of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) during the last glacial cycle, called Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA). This deformation changes the surface height of the ice sheet and indirectly the groundling line position. These changes in surface height and grounding line position influence...abstract 2021

van der Wal, C.N. (author), Robinson, Mark A. (author), Bruine de Bruin, Wändi (author), Gwynne, Steven (author)Emergencies such as fires and terrorist attacks pose risks of injuries and fatalities, which can be exacerbated by delayed, ill-informed, or unmanaged responses. Effective emergency communication strategies could be used to better inform people and reduce these risks. This research analyzes videos of real-world emergencies to: (a) identify...journal article 2021

Beeftink, Mart (author), Hofs, Bas (author), Kramer, O.J.I. (author), Odegard, Ingrid (author), van der Wal, Albert (author)In the Netherlands, central softening of drinking water is widely applied for reasons of public health, client comfort, economic and environmental benefits. Currently, the detrimental contributions of softening, in particular the use of chemicals and energy, are taken into account in the carbon footprint of the Dutch drinking water companies....journal article 2021

Rovira Navarro, M. (author), van der Wal, W. (author), Steinke, T. (author), Dirkx, D. (author)Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered; however, the detection of exomoons remains elusive. Tidally heated exomoons have been proposed as candidate targets for observation; vigorous tidal dissipation can raise the moon's surface temperature, making direct imaging possible, and cause widespread volcanism that can have a signature in...journal article 2021

(author), Malda, Jos (author), Castilho, Miguel (author)Osteoarthritis of the hip is a painful and debilitating condition commonly occurring in humans and dogs. One of the main causes that leads to hip osteoarthritis is hip dysplasia. Although the current surgical methods to correct dysplasia work satisfactorily in many circumstances, these are associated with serious complications, tissue...journal article 2021

Valinejad, Jaber (author), Mili, Lamine (author), van der Wal, C.N. (author), Von Spakovsky, Michael (author), Xu, Yijun (author)Power systems serve social communities that consist of residential, commercial, and industrial customers. As a result, the disaster resilience of a power system should account for social community resilience. The social behavior and psychological features of all stakeholders involved in a disaster influence the level of power system preparedness...conference paper 2021

Valinejad, Jaber (author), Mili, Lamine (author), van der Wal, C.N. (author), Xu, Yijun (author)According to the Department of Energy, demand response provides an opportunity for end-users to play a significant role in the efficiency, reliability, resilience, and sustainability of a power grid. This is made possible owing to the existence of storage devices and diversity of energy sources at the customer level and the advent of the...journal article 2021

Blank, B. (author), Barletta, V. (author), Hu, H. (author), Pappa, F. (author), van der Wal, W. (author)Accurate glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) models are required for correcting measurements of mass change in Antarctica and for improving knowledge of the sub-surface, especially in areas of large current ice loss such as the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE). Regionally, seismic and gravity data suggests lateral differences in viscosity (3D)....journal article 2021

Marsman, C.P. (author), van der Wal, W. (author), Riva, R.E.M. (author), Freymueller, J. T. (author)In Southeast Alaska, extreme uplift rates are primarily caused by glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), as a result of ice thickness changes from the Little Ice Age to the present combined with a low-viscosity asthenosphere. Previous GIA models adopted a 1-D Earth structure. However, the actual Earth structure is likely more complex due to the...journal article 2021

(author), Sakkers, Ralph J. B. (author)Hip dysplasia (HD) is common in both humans and dogs. This interconnection is because humans and dogs descended from a common ancestor and therefore have a similar anatomy at micro- and macroscopic levels. Furthermore, dogs are the animals of choice for testing new treatments for human hip dysplasia and orthopedic surgery in general. However,...review 2021

van der Wal, C.N. (author), Formolo, Daniel (author), Robinson, Mark A. (author), Gwynne, Steven (author)To improve communication during emergencies, this research introduces an agent-based modeling (ABM) method to test the effect of psychological emergency communication strategies on evacuation performance. We follow a generative social science approach in which agent-based simulations allow for testing different candidate solutions. Unlike...journal article 2021

van der Wal, Gwyn (author)In this report, we will look at the connection between the Fibonacci and Euler numbers. By using a combinatorial argument including the Fibonacci and Euler numbers, we will prove our main theorem: F<sub>n</sub>·E<sub>n</sub> ≥ n! From the main theorem and the asymptotics of these numbers, we will conclude that π ≤ 2ϕ. We...bachelor thesis 2020

van der Wal, Lena (author)The world is experiencing climate change. Environmental problems are substantial and it's known that economic growth contributes to them. In addition, social inequality in society has grown. As a response, the concept of sustainable development has come up, but to date businesses find this hard to implement in their ways of working. As societal...master thesis 2020

van der Wal, Laurens (author)Sustainable urban planning aims to decrease the ecological footprint of cities while maintaining or increasing social welfare, however it does not consider limits to economic growth and therefore undermines its own ambition. The upcoming field of degrowth offers a theoretical answer to this dilemma but the degrowth lens has only scarcely been...master thesis 2020

van der Wal, Erik (author)With regard to climate change and air pollution within cities, interest in sustainable modes of transportation for regular use has taken a rise. Utilitarian cycling is being seen as a frontrunner for replacing everyday motorized travels within and between cities, supported by the rapid emergence of the electric bicycle. Governments are trying to...master thesis 2020
