Refsgaard, Jens Christian (author), Mai, Juliane (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author), Jain, Sharad K. (author), Stisen, Simon (author)Catchment modelling has undergone tremendous developments during the past decades. In the 1970s, the focus was on simulation of catchment runoff with process descriptions and data inputs being lumped to the catchment scale. Later developments included spatially distributed models allowing data inputs and hydrological processes to be simulated at...journal article 2023

Luo, Wenzhu (author), Shen, Liyin (author), Zhang, Lingyu (author), Liao, Xia (author), Meng, Conghui (author), Jin, C. (author)If land resources are forced to withstand greater populations than they are able to withstand, irreversible damage to the land resources system will happen in a specific region. This challenge highlights the urgency of appropriately evaluating the land resources carrying capacity (LRCC). A proper level of the capacity can ensure that land...journal article 2022

(author), Welle Donker, F.M. (author), Alexopoulos, Charalampos (author)This research aims to assess available spatial open data related to access to hospitals in the three largest Croatian cities (Zagreb, Split, Rijeka), with a future aim to create digital services as an ecosystem that will be used in everyday situations, as part of the concept of “digital society”. Data analysis is performed for the following...journal article 2022

Walawalkar, Tanvi P. (author), Hermans, L.M. (author), Evers, Jaap (author)Most climate adaptation plans expect stakeholders to change their behavior as part of building resilience. Given its long-term and complex nature, monitoring and evaluation is a key requisite for climate adaptation planning. So far, behavioral aspects have received only limited attention in the evaluation approaches for climate adaptation...journal article 2022

Hutiri, Wiebke (author), Ding, Aaron Yi (author)Automated speaker recognition uses data processing to identify speakers by their voice. Today, automated speaker recognition is deployed on billions of smart devices and in services such as call centres. Despite their wide-scale deployment and known sources of bias in related domains like face recognition and natural language processing, bias in...conference paper 2022

Hutiri, Wiebke (author), Gorce, Lauriane (author), Ding, Aaron Yi (author)Speaker verification (SV) provides billions of voice-enabled devices with access control, and ensures the security of voice-driven technologies. As a type of biometrics, it is necessary that SV is unbiased, with consistent and reliable performance across speakers irrespective of their demographic, social and economic attributes. Current SV...journal article 2022

Molaei, M. (author)Successful delivery of projects is the ultimate goal of many organisations. What is observed in practice, however, is that projects do not usually follow what is recommended in literature. Moreover, the dynamic nature of projects calls for continuous adjustments regarding the required project management practices contributing to performance....doctoral thesis 2021

Olive, Xavier (author), Sun, Junzi (author), Murça, Mayara Condé Rocha (author), Krauth, Timothe (author)Aircraft trajectory generation is a widely addressed problem with applications including emergency trajectory generation, collision risk models, air traffic flow and capacity management or airspace design. State of the art methods to generate individual trajectories and optimise some performance or emergency criterion may lack of realism with...conference paper 2021

Balog, Krisztian (author), Maxwell, D.M. (author), Thomas, Paul (author), Zhang, Shuo (author)The use of simulation techniques is not foreign to information retrieval. In the past, simulation has been employed, for example, for constructing test collections and for model performance prediction and analysis in a broad array of information access scenarios. Nevertheless, a standardized methodology for performance evaluation via...conference paper 2021

Lomas, J.D. (author), Karac, Mihovil (author), Gielen, M.A. (author)The potential space of game designs is astronomically large. This paper shows how game design theories can be translated into a simple, tangible card deck that can assist in the exploration of new game designs within a broader "design space."By translating elements of game design theory into a physical card deck, we enable users to randomly...journal article 2021

van der Werf, Job (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author)To evaluate the performance of Real Time Control (RTC) of urban drainage systems (UDS) a comparison is made with the pre-RTC situation, making the RTC performance dependent on the functioning of the UDS prior to implementation. To standardise things, a generalised baseline is formulated here as the operation with optimal static settings of the...journal article 2021

Versteeg, Niki (author), Hermans, L.M. (author), Ahrari, Sara (author), van de Walle, B.A. (author)Most water and development interventions aim to contribute to long-term sustainable impacts. Given the uncertainties involved in these longer-term water development projects, adaptive planning approaches hold promise to connect planning, implementation and evaluation. Recent innovations report promising results, but find limited wide-spread...journal article 2021

Bal, Frans (author), Vleugel, J (author)In a world where the population and many economies are expanding rapidly the demand for freight transport keeps rising accordingly. As more goods are transported by a growing number of freight vehicles, in particular trucks and sea vessels, their already considerable negative environmental impact also rises. Technology advances, but demand...journal article 2020

Wang, Weizheng (author), Wang, Q. (author), Zhang, J. (author), Zuniga, Marco (author)Positioning based on visible light is gaining significant attention. But most existing studies rely on a key requirement: The object of interest needs to carry an optical receiver (camera or photodiode). We remove this requirement and investigate the possibility of achieving accurate positioning in a passive manner—that is, without requiring...journal article 2020

Wu, Hongjia (author), Wang, Q. (author), Xiong, Jie (author), Zuniga, Marco (author)Visible Light Communication (VLC) based on LEDs has been a hot topic investigated for over a decade. However, most of the research efforts assume the intensity of LED light is constant. This hypothesis is not true when Smart Lighting is introduced to VLC, which requires LEDs to adapt their brightness based on the intensity of natural ambient...journal article 2020

Javier (author), Maldonado-Bascon, Saturnino (author)The Online Action Detection (OAD) problem needs to be revisited. Unlike traditional offline action detection approaches, where the evaluation metrics are clear and well established, in the OAD setting we find very few works and no consensus on the evaluation protocols to be used. In this work we propose to rethink the OAD scenario, clearly...journal article 2019

Mohammadi, Majid (author)Ontology alignment systems are evaluated by various performance scores, which are usually computed by a ratio related directly to the frequency of the true positives. However, such ratios provide little information regarding the uncertainty of the overall performance of the corresponding systems. The comparison is also drawn merely by the...journal article 2019
