Tišma, M. (author), Kaljević, Jovana (author), Gruber, Stephan (author), Le, Tung B.K. (author), Dekker, C. (author)Bacterial cells require DNA segregation machinery to properly distribute a genome to both daughter cells upon division. The most common system involved in chromosome and plasmid segregation in bacteria is the ParABS system. A core protein of this system - partition protein B (ParB) - regulates chromosome organization and chromosome...review 2024

Xue, Yutong (author), Le, Yun (author), Zhang, X. (author), Jiang, Kaiwen (author)Large airport operational readiness (LAOR) is a critical factor that directly impacts the opening of airports to the public. However, limited research exists on the risks affecting LAOR schedules. This article explores the risk breakdown structure and risk interactions model of LAOR schedule risk. An empirical investigation was conducted on...journal article 2023

Zhang, X. (author), Liu, Mingqiang (author), Le, Yun (author), Wei, Jianjun (author), Zhu, Yongsong (author), Li, Yongkui (author)Given that a strong owner has been identified as an important factor in the success of megaprojects, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of megaproject owner organizational capabilities. However, the questions of what organizational capabilities do owners need to foster successful megaprojects, and whether these...journal article 2023

(author), Le, Quang Bao (author), Lippe, Melvin (author), Niamir, Leila (author), Polhill, J. Gareth (author), Sun, Zhanli (author), Berger, Thomas (author)There has so far been no shared understanding of validity in agent-based simulation. We here conceptualise validation as systematically substantiating the premises on which conclusions from simulation analysis for a particular modelling context are built. Given such a systematic perspective, validity of agent-based models cannot be ensured if...journal article 2023

Zhang, X. (author), Denicol, Juliano (author), Chan, P.W.C. (author), Le, Yun (author)The transition from projects to operations requires a spanning from more temporary, goal-oriented, and evolving organizational forms to more permanent, routine, and ongoing organizational forms. A question of practical and theoretical significance is how to organize the transition to operations in large inter-organizational projects. To...journal article 2023

Kroesen, M. (author), De Vos, Jonas (author), Le, Huyen T.K. (author), Ton, Danique (author)Research on the relationships between travel-related attitudes and travel behaviour has recently been reinvigorated by new theorizing as well as new empirical models. While traditional theories assume a rather static role of attitudes, i.e. acting as stable predispositions that cause behaviours in a unidirectional manner, recent models assume...journal article 2023

Kroesen, M. (author), Le, Huyen T.K. (author), De Vos, Jonas (author), Ton, Danique (author), de Bruyn, Menno (author)This study investigates whether the decline in public transit ridership is a temporary phenomenon or indicative of a structural shift in travel patterns and attitudes. We estimate a latent class trajectory model using data from a comprehensive and large-scale survey administered by the Dutch national train operator conducted at eight...journal article 2023

Le, Quan H. (author), Verheijen, Peter J.T. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Volcke, Eveline I.P. (author)This study deals with the application of data reconciliation to wastewater treatment processes which are subject to dynamic conditions and therefore do not reach a steady-state behaviour sensu stricto. The SHARON partial nitritation process, which is operated cyclically with alternating aerated and anoxic periods, is studied as an example....journal article 2022

It can help to manage and coordinate different subprojects and ensure the achievement of the overall strategic goals of large projects. The promotion of external program manager involvement is not only efficiency-driven, but the...journal article 2022

De Vos, Jonas (author), Le, Huyen T.K. (author), Kroesen, M. (author)Many studies have found that both the chosen travel mode and travel duration have a strong effect on travel satisfaction. However, travel mode and duration are often related with each other, as active trips often have shorter durations than trips with motorized modes. As a result, the effect of travel mode choice on travel satisfaction may be...journal article 2022

Zhang, Xinyue (author), Le, Yun (author), Liu, Y. (author), Liu, Mingqiang (author)In infrastructure project practice, balancing and maximizing the combined effect of exploratory and exploitative innovation have attracted increasing attention, but it is still unclear how to foster ambidextrous innovation in infrastructure projects. To address this gap, we draw on the differentiation-integration framework of ambidexterity...journal article 2021

Zhang, Xinyue (author), Le, Yun (author), Liu, Y. (author), Chen, Xiaoyan (author)In emerging economies, infrastructure projects are in full swing. There is a wealth of replicable experience for exploitation. Simultaneously, more technologies and methodologies require further exploration. This makes fostering ambidextrous innovation strategies (i.e., the tradeoff between exploitative and exploratory innovation strategies) a...journal article 2021

(author), Dulin, David (author)The absence of 'shovel-ready' anti-coronavirus drugs during vaccine development has exceedingly worsened the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Furthermore, new vaccine-resistant variants and coronavirus outbreaks may occur in the near future, and we must be ready to face this possibility. However, efficient antiviral drugs are still lacking to this day,...journal article 2021

Le, T.B. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Montes Arboleda, A. (author)The Dutch River Waal, a branch of the Rhine, has been trained for centuries to mitigate the effects of ice-jams and improve navigation. The works, started in 1850, involved river straightening and narrowing by a series of transverse groynes. Besides fulfilling their goal, the groynes also created the need to raise flood protection works and...journal article 2020
