Allen, Ben (author), Gonzalez Cabaleiro, R. (author), Ofiteru, Irina Dana (author), Øvreås, Lise (author), Sloan, William T. (author), Swan, Donna (author), Curtis, Thomas (author)Why are some groups of bacteria more diverse than others? We hypothesize that the metabolic energy available to a bacterial functional group (a biogeochemical group or ‘guild’) has a role in such a group’s taxonomic diversity. We tested this hypothesis by looking at the metacommunity diversity of functional groups in multiple biomes. We...journal article 2023

Masese, Frank O. (author), Wanderi, Elizabeth W. (author), Nyakeya, Kobingi (author), Achieng, Alfred O. (author), Fouchy, Kelly (author), McClain, M.E. (author)Many streams and rivers outside conservation areas across the Afrotropics face multiple stressors from land use change, urbanization, and excessive water withdrawals. Thus, there is a need to develop cost-effective tools for assessing and monitoring ecological changes to inform management decisions. Studies utilizing macroinvertebrate...journal article 2023

Korevaar, C.W. (author), Saathof, R. (author), van Abkoude, Tara (author), Doelman, Niek J. (author)Optical feeder links (OFLs) benefit from the vast amount of bandwidth available in the THz-regime of the electromagnetic spectrum, and can be considered as enablers for future terabit-per-second satellite systems. A particular challenge for OFLs is to mitigate the effects of fading, caused by a combination of turbulence-induced scintillation,...conference paper 2023

van Boeijen, A.G.C. (author)This paper presents two master graduation design projects that address unconscious biases (UB) in the context of design education related to two topics: gender and skin colour. In addition to their sensitivity to exclusion and injustice, two design students brought in their analytical, design research and creativity skills to find solutions...conference paper 2022

(author)Non-domesticated, wild Saccharomyces yeasts have promising characteristics for beer diversification, particularly when used in the generation of de novo interspecific hybrids. A major motivation for the current work was the question whether attractive novel Saccharomyces interspecific hybrids can be created for the production of exotic lager...journal article 2022

Huang, H. (author), Liem, C.C.S. (author)Artificial intelligence literature suggests that minority and fragile communities in society can be negatively impacted by machine learning algorithms due to inherent biases in the design process, which lead to socially exclusive decisions and policies. Faced with similar challenges in dealing with an increasingly diversified audience, the...conference paper 2022

We aim to counteract the phenomenon that access to making (e.g., in makerspaces, fablabs, etc.) is not equally distributed, with certain groups of people being underrepresented (e.g., women∗1). After brief introductions from participants and a set of three impulse keynotes, we will...conference paper 2022

Jin, Yucheng (author), Tintarev, N. (author), Verbert, Katrien (author)When recommendations become increasingly personalized, users are often presented with a narrower range of content. To mitigate this issue, diversity-enhanced user interfaces for recommender systems have in the past found to be effective in increasing overall user satisfaction with recommendations. However, users may have different requirements...conference paper 2018

Taheri, M. (author), Ye, Qing (author), van Geenhuizen, M.S. (author)Little is known about how young high-tech ventures create openness in their knowledge networks. This paper explores the influence of antecedent resources on openness in knowledge networks, seen as diversity in knowledge partners, and explores the impact of openness on growth. The results from 105 university spin-off firms suggest that three...journal article 2018

Ahmadi, D. (author)Diversity has increasingly emerged as the core focus of many studies concerning factors impacting on social cohesion. Various scholars have concluded that diversity is detrimental to cohesion. Most of this research, however, draws generalisations based upon quantitative data and fails to account for the impact of inequality, segregation and...journal article 2018

Bozdag, V.E. (author)Online web services such as Google and Facebook started using personalization algorithms. Because information is customized per user by the algorithms of these services, two users who use the same search query or have the same friend list may get different results. Online services argue that by using personalization algorithms, they may show the...doctoral thesis 2015

Ling, F.Y.Y. (author), Chua, M.H. (author), Ke, Y. (author)It is not sustainable for construction projects in Singapore to rely merely on a Singaporean workforce due to the low participation rate of indigenous workers. A typical construction site in Singapore thus comprises migrant workers from several countries. This gives rise to the need for diversity management on construction sites to ensure social...conference paper 2011

Van Eijk, G. (author)Does the neighbourhood in which people live matter for the resourcefulness of their personal network and thus for their opportunities in life? Do residents of a multi-ethnic ‘problem’ area maintain fewer relationships with fellow-residents compared to residents of a homogeneous problem-free neighbourhood? And do ‘diversity-seekers’ who choose to...doctoral thesis 2010
