van den Berg, Stijn (author)Environmental harm is an influencing factor in policymaking, as climate pressures are frequently on the global agenda. An important tool to guide decision-making in the construction industry is the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, where the quantification of environmental harm is realised. In the method, an estimation of numerous...master thesis 2023

Zheng, Hong Jie (author), van den Berg, Christian (author)Artificial Intelligence has become a dominant part of our lives, however, complex artificial intelligence models tend to use a lot of energy, computationally complex operations, and a lot of memory resources. Therefore, it excluded a whole class of hardware in its applicability. Namely, relatively resource-constrained low-cost hardware. This...bachelor thesis 2023

van den Berg, Jesper (author)Capabilities and limitation of topic modeling were explored through a literature review. A design opportunity was recognized in literature review for students as novice researchers. Interviews were held with master students to gain insight in their literature review process. Students reported issues with the process of related document...master thesis 2023

van den Berg, Ruben (author)The pressure on water and energy resources, along with the transition towards new infrastructure, requires an integrated approach to achieve future-proof concepts. A nexus approach can contribute to this by including the interaction between water and energy. This is also known as a water-energy nexus (WEN). Furthermore, when considering...master thesis 2023

van den Berg, Rob (author)The problem of finding a target and forming a path to it is known and is well-explored in the field of swarm robotics. Using swarm intelligence, even swarms of simple robots are capable of solving this problem. However, often these works assume that two robots can perceive each other can physically reach each other, or that robots can detect any...master thesis 2023

van den Berg, Anna (author)More and more frequently, the streamflow of the Rhine becomes dangerously low. Drought is exacerbated by climate change, glaciers are melting at rapid rates. These problems affect the functions and ecosystems around the Rhine. The Rhine accounts for two-thirds of all inland waterway transports across Europe and thus experiences severe economic...master thesis 2023

Pronk, Tessa E. (author), Fischer, A. (author), van den Berg, Annemijne E.T. (author), Hofman, Roberta C.H.M. (author)A main focus of water managers with regard to micropollutants is the protection of aquatic ecology. However, micropollutants also have the potential to affect the production of clean drinking water. In this paper, we propose to consider the removal effort when assessing micro-pollutants with an ‘Effort Index’ (EI). Assessments using the EI...journal article 2023

(author)Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) has gained popularity in neurorehabilitation for its potential to increase patients’ motivation and engagement. A crucial yet relatively unexplored aspect of IVR interfaces is the patients’ representation in the virtual world, such as with an avatar. A higher level of embodiment over avatars has been shown to...journal article 2023

(author)This paper discusses the approach for architecture design space optimization of aeronautical systems investigated in the DEFAINE project. In system architecture optimization problems, hierarchical relations between design variables may exist. This means that the quantity and type of some variables are dependent on the value of other variables....conference paper 2023

(author)Coastal defences such as dikes are increasingly pressured by climate change. Increasing storm surge, extreme rainfall and periods of draught requires evermore strengthening of dikes to maintain flood risk standards. Conventional dike strengthening (i.e., heightening and/or widening) will be either structurally or financially unfeasible. Therefor...abstract 2023

van den Berg, D. (author), Izelaar, B. (author), Fu, S. (author), Kortlever, R. (author)Most research into electrochemical CO2 conversion focusses on improving electrode materials, but neglects the role of the electrolyte. We show the buffer influence on the selectivity of a bimetallic gold–palladium electrode in an effort to elucidate observed inconsistencies between different studies. While hydrocarbons are produced in the...journal article 2023

van den Broek, M.J. (author), van den Berg, D.G. (author), Sanderse, Benjamin (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)Dynamic induction control is a wind farm flow control strategy that utilises wind turbine thrust variations to accelerate breakdown of the aerodynamic wake and improve downstream turbine performance. However, when floating wind turbines are considered, additional dynamics and challenges appear that make optimal control difficult. In this work...journal article 2023

It poses extremely strong throughput and latency requirements on the underlying communication networks. This paper investigates the potential of using cross-layer design approaches for radio access scheduling in order to...conference paper 2023

van den Berg, D.G. (author), De Tavernier, D. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)In recent years, control techniques such as dynamic induction control (often referred to as “the pulse”) have shown great potential in increasing wake mixing, with the goal of minimising turbine-to-turbine interaction within a wind farm. Dynamic induction control disturbs the wake by varying the thrust of the turbine over time, which results in...journal article 2023

(author)Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) in bacteriophage genomes are widespread across bacterial host genera, but their exact function has remained unclear for more than 50 years. Several hypotheses have been proposed, and the most widely accepted one is codon compensation, which suggests that phages encode tRNAs that supplement codons that are less frequently...journal article 2023
