Else-Hassing, J. (author)
Over the past century, the world population has increased fourfold. This increase in human population is accompanied by an increased demand in food, water, energy and consumer goods. The resulting intensification of agriculture, deforestation, emission of green-house gasses and high utilization of natural compounds such as coal, minerals, metals...

Pozo Arcos, B. (author)
Today’s industrialized societies face the challenge of integrating economic activity with sustainable consumption. Prosperity has come hand in hand with environmental damage. Product lifetimes are decreasing and there is a rising demand for high-tech products for which no effective recycling is in place. Hence, the value from products is lost to...

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, as such, they form the basis of all living systems. In order to fully understand biological processes, the ability to identify and quantify the proteins in cells is crucial. Identification can be achieved by determining the amino acid sequence of proteins, since this sequence is unique for each protein....

Planning safe motions for multi-robot systems is crucial for deploying them in real-world applications such as target tracking, environmental monitoring, and multi-view cinematography. Traditional approaches mainly solve the multi-robot motion planning problem in a deterministic manner, where the robot states and system models are perfectly...

Computers are used all over the place to perform tasks ranging from sending an email to running some complicated numerical simulation. That is brilliant of course, because computers enable us to solve a lot of problems in the world in this way. At the same time, for some of those problems, not even powerful supercomputers are enough to get the...

Growth in the number of vehicles causes excessive traffic congestion and travel delay on urban roads, especially at signalized intersections. The recent advances in connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technology and the upgrade of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), and Infrastructure-to-Vehicle (I2V) communications have...

Combinism is not the same as Communism. Although the Combinist is interested in collective systems, theories and dogmas, he never loses sight for the individual perceptions and minds of people. The only slogan of the Combinist is ‘Form Follows Dialogue’. The Combinist is both a traditionalist and a modernist; sometimes even a dreamer, a futurist...

Niet veel gebiedsontwikkelaars kennen de econoom Mariana Mazzucato. Ten onrechte. Want wie haar nieuwe boek ‘Moonshot: grootse missies voor economie en samenleving’ tot zich neemt, krijgt een overtuigend handelingsperspectief voor de opgave waar we in Nederland ruimtelijk en maatschappelijk voor staan.

A large number of modern learning problems involve working with highly interrelated and interconnected data. Graph-based learning is an emerging technique for approaching such problems, by representing this data as a graph (a.k.a. a network). That is, the points of data are represented by the vertices of the graph, and then the edges linking...

Coastal flooding is threatening the personal safety, property, and social development of the low-lying land around the coast worldwide. Stormsurge is one of the main sources of coastal flooding. Tide and surge models can provide timely water level forecasts for coastal management with the early warning of flooding. Although a regional model can...

Radiation therapy has made tremendous progress in oncology over the last decades due to advances in engineering and physical sciences in combination with better biochemical, genetic and molecular understanding of this disease. Local delivery of optimal radiation dose to a tumor, while sparing healthy surrounding tissues, remains a great...

This dissertation is focused on using Virtual Reality to study pedestrian wayfinding behaviour in buildings during both normal and emergency situations, from simple scenarios to complex scenarios. In particular, various empirical datasets featuring pedestrian wayfinding and evacuation behaviour were collected using different VR technologies to...

Zahoor, Y. (author)
Modern helicopters are equipped with rotor blades with exposed linkages, swashplates, and mechanical components. While such rotor blades have proved to be highly reliable, they are the leading cause to generate noise and vibration. In addition, the drag due to exposed linkages and hinges affects the helicopter performance. To overcome these...

Cracks, which could nucleate and propagate in engineering structures, could have an adverse effect on mechanical performance and even lead to catastrophic failure. Thus, it is critical to investigate structural behavior under fracture, which requires an appropriate modeling methodology for fracture analysis. Furthermore, designing structures...

Hauser, S.J. (author)
Oil is a dangerous product. Its transport, storage and refining present numerous environmental and health challenges. Local, national and European regulators have taken steps to locate it in space since the beginning of industrial oil drilling in the 1860s. But key leaders of the oil industry in Northwest Europe, and beyond, have also served as...

Microorganisms have been used by humanity since ancient times to produce fermented food and beverages such as wine, bread and beer. With the current molecular biology techniques, it is not only possible to increase microbial performance for the production of native products, but also to adapt microorganism to make heterologous or even novel-to...

Precise Point Positioning (PPP) is a Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) modelling and processing method that provides single-receiver users with high positioning accuracy anywhere on the globe, without the explicit dependence on reference receivers. The realization of PPP is based on undifferenced code and phase measurements, a priori...

Muñoz Sierra, Julian (author)
Industrial wastewaters generated in chemical industries are often characterized by extreme conditions, such as the presence of complex, recalcitrant, and toxic aromatic compounds, high temperature, and high salinity. The mentioned conditions predominantly occur when chemical industries reduce process water use or strive for closing water loops....

Structure-conserving numerical methods that aim at preserving certain structures of the PDEs at the discrete level have been an interesting research topic for many decades. The mimetic spectral element method, a recently developed arbitrary order structure-preserving method on orthogonal or curvilinear meshes, has also been drawing increasingly...
