Duque, Natalia (author), Scholten, L. (author), Maurer, Max (author)We explore the dynamics of centralised and decentralised wastewater infrastructure across various scenarios and introduce novel insights into their performance regarding structural vulnerability, hydraulic capacity, and costs. This study determines circumstances under which infrastructure hybridisation outperforms traditional centralised...journal article 2024

Duque, Natalia (author), Scholten, L. (author), Maurer, Max (author)We present a new modular model called TURN-Sewers for exploring different adaptations of centralised wastewater infrastructure towards more decentralised wastewater systems under different urban development scenarios. The modular model is flexible and computationally efficient in exploring transitions at the city scale, allowing for the...journal article 2024

Weijers, Robert J. (author), de Koning, Björn B. (author), Scholten, Ester (author), Wong, L.Y.J. (author), Paas, Fred (author)Asking questions is vital for learning, yet students seldom exhibit this behavior. Given the increasing presence of online classrooms in tertiary education, it is much needed to examine ways to encourage students to ask questions and increase their engagement. Despite the critical role of asking questions to enhance learning, little is known...journal article 2024

Duque, Natalia (author), Bach, Peter M. (author), Scholten, L. (author), Fappiano, F. (author), Maurer, Max (author)Future climatic, demographic, technological, urban and socio-economic challenges call for more flexible and sustainable wastewater infrastructure systems. Exploratory modelling can help to investigate the consequences of these developments on the infrastructure. In order to explore large numbers of adaptation strategies, we need to re-balance...journal article 2022

Klessens, Tycho M.A. (author), Daniel, D. (author), Jiang, Yong (author), van Breukelen, B.M. (author), Scholten, L. (author), Pande, S. (author)Freshwater resources in coastal areas are under intense pressure from excessive groundwater extraction, which amplifies saltwater intrusion (SWI) into coastal freshwater aquifers, such as in the Mekong Delta. Studies that combine socioenvironmental data and households' psychological factors next to salinity measurement data to design...journal article 2022

Merkx, D.G.M. (author), Scholten, Sebastiaan (author), Frank, Stefan L. (author), Ernestus, Mirjam (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)Many computational models of speech recognition assume that the set of target words is already given. This implies that these models learn to recognise speech in a biologically unrealistic manner, i.e. with prior lexical knowledge and explicit supervision. In contrast, visually grounded speech models learn to recognise speech without prior...journal article 2022

Mittal, A. (author), Scholten, L. (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)Urban water management (UWM) is a complex problem characterized by multiple alternatives, conflicting objectives, and multiple uncertainties about key drivers like climate change, population growth, and increasing urbanization. Serious games are becoming a popular means to support decision-makers who are responsible for the planning and...journal article 2022

(author)While the burden of disease from well-studied drinking water contaminants is declining, risks from emerging chemical and microbial contaminants arise because of social, technological, demographic and climatological developments. At present, emerging chemical and microbial drinking water contaminants are not assessed in a systematic way, but...journal article 2021

van den Berg, Paulien (author), Scholten, D.J. (author), Schachter, Jonathan (author), Blok, K. (author)A dynamic and fast-changing environment brings challenges for generating long-term scenarios. Although the need to update scenarios for decision-making is recognized, a structured way for executing this process remains unclear. To configure a solution, we propose two concepts that need to be introduced: 1) that scenarios consist of a multi...journal article 2021

Sattich, Thomas (author), Freeman, Duncan (author), Scholten, D.J. (author), Yan, Shaohua (author)The geopolitical implications of renewable energy involve changes beyond the immediate impact on energy and commodity streams. Energy policies of individual countries affect each other via different economic and political channels. This paper studies the role of renewable energy in EU-China relations, two leading powers in the field of...journal article 2021

Chacon Hurtado, J.C. (author), Scholten, L. (author)Environmental decisions are complex as they are multi-dimensional, highly interdisciplinary and not only involve multiple stakeholders with conflicting objectives, but also many possible alternatives with uncertain consequences. The difficulty lies in making trade-offs between tough value trade-offs on the one hand while appreciating...journal article 2020

Scholten, D.J. (author), Bazilian, Morgan (author), Overland, Indra (author), Westphal, Kirsten (author)This policy perspective sums up the main input of four members of the Research Panel for IRENA's Global Commission on the Geopolitics of the Energy Transformation. The geographic and technical characteristics of renewable energy systems are fundamentally different from those of coal, oil, and natural gas. This has implications for interstate...journal article 2020

(author)Recent developments in high- and middle-income countries have exhibited a shift from conventional urban water systems to alternative solutions that are more diverse in source separation, decentralization, and modularization. These solutions include nongrid, small-grid, and hybrid systems to address such pressing global challenges as climate...journal article 2020

The technologies and infrastructures underpinning a hydrogen economy can take markedly different forms, and the choice over which...journal article 2020

Scholten, Pepijn A. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Chu, Q. P. (author), Mulder, Max (author)A variable stability in-flight simulator has the capabilities to change the response of an aircraft in-flight, often without changing the physical properties of the aircraft. The ability to adjust the aircraft response characteristics and handling qualities has various purposes, such as pilot training, control system development, and handling...journal article 2020

Scholten, D.J. (author)Renewable energy is the energy of the future – plentiful and ubiquitous. Technological advances and economies of scale are bringing down prices, whereas fossil and nuclear are increasingly uncompetitive. Here, the Green European Journal presents in numbers how energy systems will evolve over the decades to come, while Daniel Scholten traces the...journal article 2019

Meijer, D.W.J. (author), Scholten, L. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author), Knobbe, Arno (author)Sewer pipes are commonly inspected in situ with CCTV equipment. The CCTV footage is then reviewed by human operators in order to classify defects in the pipes and make a recommendation on possible interventions. This process is both labor-intensive and error-prone. Other researchers have suggested machine learning techniques to (partially)...journal article 2019

van Calcar, C.J. (author), Scholten, D.J. (author)The discovery of natural gas in Slochteren in 1959 kick started a major transition in the Dutch energy sector. The move from coal mined in Limburg to natural gas extraction in Groningen had a huge impact on both provinces in particular and the Dutch energy sector in general. After the last of the twelve coal mines in Limburg was shut in 1969,...journal article 2018

Moors, Janneke (author), Scholten, L. (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author), den Besten, Jurjen (author)Automatic leak localization has been suggested to reduce the time and personnel efforts needed to localize (small) leaks. Yet, the available methods require a detailed demand distribution model for successful calibration and good leak localization performance. The main aim of this work was to analyze whether such a detailed demand distribution...journal article 2018
