Ruangpan, L. (author), Vojinovic, Zoran (author)Over recent decades, hydro-meteorological disasters appear to be becoming more intense and frequent. Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have been introduced to address hydro-meteorological risks as they offer the possibility of working closely with nature. This provides solutions to adapt to future changes in climate and society, as well as to...book chapter 2022

Behdani, B. (author), Tajdinian, Mohsen (author), Allahbakhshi, Mehdi (author), Popov, M. (author), Shafie-khah, Miadreza (author), Catalao, Joao P. S. (author)Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) are referred to the quasi-DC current flows in power networks, driven by complex space weather-related phenomena. Such currents are a potential threat to the power delivery capability of electrical grids. To mitigate the detrimental impacts of GICs on critical infrastructures, the GICs should be monitored...journal article 2022

Reinders, K.J. (author), Giardina, Giorgia (author), Zurfluh, Florian (author), Ryser, Jurg (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author)In the planning stage of new infrastructure or when designing renovation of existing infrastructure, information about existing slope movements or settlements is essential to make informed design decisions. Interferometric<br/>Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) techniques can be of value to identify these risks in an early stage of a project....journal article 2022

IJtsma, Martijn (author), Borst, C. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Air traffic controller workload is a limiting factor in the current air traffic management system. Adaptive support systems have the potential to balance controller workload and gain acceptance as they provide support during times of need. Challenges in the design of adaptive support systems are to decide when and how to trigger support. The...journal article 2022

Brackenhoff, J.A. (author)Monitoring seismic wavefields caused by induced seismicity in the subsurface is a difficult process. Ideally, it requires physical receivers in the subsurface, which is unpractical. Frequently, only measurements at the surface of the Earth are available, which give a limited amount of information about the subsurface. One way to improve the...doctoral thesis 2021

Truong-Hong, Linh (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), Woudenberg, Pieter (author), Gard, W.F. (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)Churches are part of heritage structures that take an important role in Europe ́s cultural identity. As such, these structures must be protected to prevent catastrophic collapse and any damage must be reported timely to establish planning to maintenance and restoration. This can be achievable when the churches are monitored periodically with...conference paper 2021

Monitoring changes in the Groningen subsurface using non-physical arrivals in seismic interferometryShirmohammadi, F. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Seismic interferometry (SI) refers to the principle of generating seismic responses by crosscorrelating seismic observations at different receiver locations. Theory requires that the boundary sources emit the same energy, have regular spacing and are spaced densely enough. When these assumptions are not met, not only the desired physical...poster 2021

Reinders, K.J. (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author), van Leijen, F.J. (author), Korff, M. (author)In this work, we investigate if, when, and how satellite InSAR can be used for evaluating surface settlements that occur during shield tunnelling in soft soil areas. We evaluate the applicability of InSAR prior, during, and after tunnel construction. Special emphasis is placed on the influence of the InSAR phase ambiguities in relation to short...journal article 2021

Barros Cândido, J. (author), Aniche, Maurício (author), van Deursen, A. (author)Modern software development and operations rely on monitoring to understand how systems behave in production. The data provided by application logs and runtime environment are essential to detect and diagnose undesired behavior and improve system reliability. However, despite the rich ecosystem around industry- ready log solutions, monitoring...journal article 2021

Rukanova, B.D. (author), Tan, Y. (author), Hamerlinck, Robin (author), Heijmann, Frank (author), Ubacht, J. (author)Circular economy (CE) and sustainability are high on the political agenda of governments nationally and internationally. Governments are developing instruments to stimulate the CE, but without monitoring in place, these measures can be subject to abuse, failing to achieve the desired effects. CE monitoring, however, is still a nascent topic in...conference paper 2021

(author), Giardina, Giorgia (author), Ilki, Alper (author)Underground construction activities, such as tunnelling, cause local ground movements to occur. Nearby surface structures interact with the moving ground, potentially leading to building damage. Although it is understood that the severity of building damage is influenced by the façade opening ratio (OpR) and the stiffness of the floors,...conference paper 2021

Rostampour, Vahab (author), Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (author), Teixeira, Andre M.H. (author), Keviczky, T. (author)In this article two limitations in current distributed model based approaches for anomaly detection in large-scale uncertain nonlinear systems are addressed. The first limitation regards the high conservativeness of deterministic detection thresholds, against which a novel family of set-based thresholds is proposed. Such set-based thresholds...journal article 2020
