Haasnoot, M. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Walker, W.E. (author), Ter Maat, J. (author)A new paradigm for planning under conditions of deep uncertainty has emerged in the literature. According to this paradigm, a planner should create a strategic vision of the future, commit to short-term actions, and establish a framework to guide future actions. A plan that embodies these ideas allows for its dynamic adaptation over time to meet...journal article 2013

Walker, W.E. (author), Haasnoot, M. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author)There is increasing interest in long-term plans that can adapt to changing situations under conditions of deep uncertainty. We argue that a sustainable plan should not only achieve economic, environmental, and social objectives, but should be robust and able to be adapted over time to (unforeseen) future conditions. Large numbers of papers...journal article 2013

(author), Reno, J.L. (author)We report on a heterodyne receiver designed to observe the astrophysically important neutral atomic oxygen [OI] line at 4.7448?THz. The local oscillator is a third-order distributed feedback quantum cascade laser operating in continuous wave mode at 4.741?THz. A quasi-optical, superconducting NbN hot electron bolometer is used as the mixer. We...journal article 2013

Haasnoot, M. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Walker, W.E. (author)Water management in river deltas is increasingly being challenged by pressures from population growth, sea level rise, increasing variability in river runoffs, and potential climate change. Adaptation to such changes is not only determined by what is known or anticipated at present, but also by what will be experienced and learned as the future...conference paper 2012

Taneja, P. (author), Ligteringen, H. (author), Walker, W.E. (author)Recently, flexibility has received much attention from port researchers, designers, and managers. This is because the stability of the competitive environment of the past has been replaced by increasing uncertainty. The current economic crisis and the recent trends in ports and shipping sectors are causing port planners to rethink their approach...journal article 2012

(author)A high-speed and hardware-only algorithm using a center of mass method has been proposed for single-detector fluorescence lifetime sensing applications. This algorithm is now implemented on a field programmable gate array to provide fast lifetime estimates from a 32 × 32 low dark count 0.13 ?m complementary metaloxide-semiconductor single-photon...journal article 2011

Walker, W.E. (author)Eleven years ago, on the 29th of November 2000, I gave my Inaugural speech as<br/>a Professor of Policy Analysis at TU Delft. The speech was entitled “Uncertainty:<br/>The Challenge for Policy Analysis in the 21st Century” (Walker, 2000b). Since that<br/>time, I have been working with colleagues at TU Delft, RAND, and other organizations to...public lecture 2011

Walker, C. (author), Kulesa, C. (author), Gao, J.R. (author)In the wavelength regime between 60 and 300 microns there are a number of atomic and molecular emission lines that are key diagnostic probes of the interstellar medium. These include transitions of [CII], [NII], [OI], HD, H2D+, OH, CO, and H2O, some of which are among the brightest global and local far-infrared lines in the Galaxy. In Giant...journal article 2010

(author), Charbon, E. (author), Henderson, R. (author), Arlt, J. (author)Fluorescence lifetime of dye molecules is a sensitive reporter on local microenvironment which is generally independent of fluorophores concentration and can be used as a means of discrimination between molecules with spectrally overlapping emission. It is therefore a potentially powerful multiplexed detection modality in biosensing but requires...journal article 2010

Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Walker, W.E. (author), Marchau, V.A.W.J. (author)Airport Strategic Planning (ASP) focuses on the development of plans for the long-term development of an airport. The dominant approach for ASP is Airport Master Planning (AMP). The goal of AMP is to provide a detailed blueprint for how the airport should look in the future, and how it can get there. Since a Master Plan is a static detailed...journal article 2010

(author)Mg-Ti alloys have uncommon optical and hydrogen absorbing properties, originating from a “spinodal-like” microstructure with a small degree of chemical short-range order in the atomic distribution. In the present study we artificially engineer short-range order by depositing Pd-capped Mg/Ti multilayers with different periodicities....journal article 2010

Frantzeskaki, N. (author), De Haan, A. (author), Kolfschoten, G.L. (author), Walker, W. (author)Modelling is of substantial use in policy analysis. Since policy analysis tries to facilitate decision making of complex multi-actor problems under uncertain circumstances, it needs to rationalize and simplify reality. This is the major challenge of doing policy analysis and especially modelling. The model as an abstract representation of the...conference paper 2008
