(author)The Gaia Galactic survey mission is designed and optimized to obtain astrometry, photometry, and spectroscopy of nearly two billion stars in our Galaxy. Yet as an all-sky multi-epoch survey, Gaia also observes several million extragalactic objects down to a magnitude of G 21 mag. Due to the nature of the Gaia onboard-selection algorithms, these...journal article 2023

(author)Context. The motion of stars has been used to reveal details of the complex history of the Milky Way, in constant interaction with its environment. Nevertheless, to reconstruct the Galactic history puzzle in its entirety, the chemo-physical characterisation of stars is essential. Previous Gaia data releases were supported by a smaller,...journal article 2023

Bakker, Mathijs (author), Coraddu, A. (author), Hijdra, Rolph (author)Autonomous submerged dredging offers numerous benefits, such as reduced ship resistance and lower vacuum requirements for the dredge pumps. However, this method also presents new challenges, such as stability and buoyancy control, which must be addressed to minimize the energy requirements and ensure cost-effectiveness and sustainability. To...journal article 2023

Glynis, K.G. (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Bakker, Martijn (author), Taormina, R. (author)Researchers and engineers employ machine learning (ML) tools to detect pipe bursts and prevent significant non-revenue water losses in water distribution systems (WDS). Nonetheless, many approaches developed so far consider a fixed number of sensors, which requires the ML model redevelopment and collection of sufficient data with the new...journal article 2023

van der Zwaag, Marco (author), Wang, T. (author), Bakker, H.L.M. (author), van Nederveen, G.A. (author), Schuurman, A.C.B. (author), Bosma, Douwe (author)Facing circular transition challenges, building circularity should be evaluated in the early design phase to reduce the risks of circular and environmental performance problems found in later project phases. However, due to the current design workflow, such practice is hindered because there is not enough information to evaluate building...journal article 2023

Hartley, Kris (author), Schülzchen, S. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Kirchherr, J.W. (author)Transitioning from the ‘take-make-dispose’ linear production system to a circular economy can strengthen sustainability, and governments play a vital role. Recent scholarship has investigated policies for circular economy transition, but few studies take a perspective on circularity reform that spans geographies, industries, and product life...journal article 2023

(author), Otieno, Fredrick Odhiambo (author), Koksal, Erin (author), Sprecher, Benjamin (author), Price, R.A. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Diehl, J.C. (author)Underfunded healthcare infrastructures in low-resource settings in sub-Saharan Africa have resulted in a lack of medical devices crucial to provide healthcare for all. A representative example of this scenario is medical devices to administer paracervical blocks during gynaecological procedures. Devices needed for this procedure are usually...journal article 2023

Houben, Georg J. (author), Collins, Sarah (author), Bakker, M. (author), Daffner, Thomas (author), Triller, Falk (author), Kacimov, Anvar (author)Horizontal wells play an often overlooked role in hydrogeology and aquifer remediation but can be an interesting option for many applications. This study reviews the constructional and hydraulic aspects that distinguish them from vertical wells. Flow patterns towards them are much more complicated than those for vertical wells, which makes their...journal article 2022

Vermolen, F.J. (author), Bakker, D.R. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author)The discretisation of the Laplacian results into the well-known Laplace matrix. In the case of a one dimensional problem, an explicit formula for its inverse is derived on the basis of fundamental solutions (Green’s functions) for general boundary conditions. For a linear reaction–diffusion equation, approximations of the inverse are given.journal article 2022

Bakker, N.J. (author), Assen, Suzanne (author), Rasia, Alix (author), Barreau, Nicolas (author), Weeber, A.W. (author), Theelen, Mirjam (author)Partial shading of PV modules can lead to degradation of the shaded cells. The degradation originates from a reverse bias voltage over the shaded cells. In order to mitigate reverse bias damage in Cu(In, Ga)Se2 (CIGS) modules, a good understanding of the fundamental mechanisms governing the reverse characteristic is required. In this study, a...journal article 2022

Ökmen, Ö. (author), Bosch-Rekveldt, M.G.C. (author), Bakker, H.L.M. (author), Leijten, M. (author), Andringa, Lise (author)In today’s construction projects, which are getting more complex as a consequence of especially technical, organizational, and external aspects, complexities are considered a major source of risks. Moreover, risks may turn to complexity-creating elements and propagate additional risks through a bidirectional interaction. Complex construction...journal article 2022

Alberto, Rosa (author), van Helden, G. (author), Bakker, Arthur (author)Embodied learning technologies have shown efficacy in laboratories with ideal supportive conditions, but their effectiveness in classroom with “real-world” constraints is yet understudied. Inspired by the innovation implementation framework, we compare the classroom-situated engagements of two student pairs and their teachers with the action...journal article 2022
