Zhou, C. (author), van Nooijen, R.R.P. (author), Kolechkina, A.G. (author), Gargouri, E.F.G. (author), Slama, Fairouz (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author)The dependency structure between hydrological variables is of critical importance to hydrological modelling and forecasting. When a copula capturing that dependence is fitted to a sample, information on the uncertainty of the fit is needed for subsequent hydrological calculations and reasoning. A new method is proposed to report inferential...journal article 2023

Zhao, Lingqin (author), Zhang, Dongming (author), Hu, Yanjun (author), Guo, Qianqian (author), Jiao, Long (author), Zhou, Nan (author), Di Maio, F. (author)The bottom ash is increasingly used as a substitute aggregate material in road construction in China, and road salting is the major salt source in groundwater. Continuous rainfall releases soluble salts from the bottom ash subgrade into the surrounding soil and groundwater, resulting in potential hazards. Different methods were employed to...journal article 2023

Zhou, Y. (author), Wilmink, D. (author), Zeman, M. (author), Isabella, O. (author), Ziar, H. (author)Integration of photovoltaics (PV) into the urban environment will play a major role in the energy transition. However, installing PV systems on building roofs can be challenging, particularly for monumental buildings with strict architectural and social value restrictions. Assessing roof surface visibility is, therefore, key to finding as...journal article 2023
