Mandal, Dipankar (author), Kumar, V. (author), Lopez-Sanchez, Juan M. (author), Rao, Y. S. (author), McNairn, Heather (author), Bhattacharya, Avik (author), Mitchell, Scott (author)Biophysical parameters are descriptors of crop growth and production estimates. Retrieval of these biophysical parameters from synthetic aperture radar sensors at operational scales is highly interesting given the increase in access to data from radar missions. Vegetation backscattering can be simulated using the water cloud model (WCM). Crop...book chapter 2022

Kok, M. (author)Risk-informed decision-making needs methods for assessing flood risk, and often the flooding probability and the consequences of floods (such as economic damage and fatalities) play an important role in the risk assessment. Also, measures to reduce the flood risk need to be formulated, in order to make a risk-informed decision, whether to...book chapter 2022

Palmeros Parada, M.D.M. (author), van der Wielen, L.A.M. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Pashaei Kamali, F. (author), Posada Duque, J.A. (author), van der Putten, Wim H. (author)Aviation biofuels are promising to reduce carbon emissions in the aviation sector. However, emerging concerns over biofuels indicate a need for sustainability analyses that take into consideration the context around biofuel production. Here, we present a novel ex-ante sustainability analysis of production alternatives for aviation biofuel in...book chapter 2022

Erol, A. (author), Hunyadi, Borbala (author)Neuroimaging techniques are used to image the structure and function of the nervous system for medicine, psychology, and neuroscience research. Brain data are inherently multidimensional and complex, and the recent advances in neuroimaging allow the acquisition of brain signals at an increasing spatiotemporal resolution. Being able to process...book chapter 2022

Hooimeijer, F.L. (author), Yoshida, Y. (author), Bortolotti, A. (author), Iuorio, Luca (author)Spatial design integrates social, cultural, economic, and political perspectives with natural site conditions and man-made construction to plan for sustainable urban development. The current flood-risk-related challenges induced by climate change place pressure on designing cities in which both natural and man-made conditions can be imbalanced....book chapter 2022

Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), van Berchum, E.C. (author)Many coastal areas around the world are densely populated and at risk from flooding, but utilize different strategies to deal with coastal hazard. This chapter summarizes how Dutch concepts for coastal flood risk reduction have been explored for Galveston Bay. Firstly, it is shown how risk-based screening methods can help to evaluate various...book chapter 2022

de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Dodou, D. (author)This article highlights four common pitfalls in the use of statistics in the area of traffic psychology. Through computer simulations of scenarios that are typical in the field, it is first shown that a statistically significant P-value does not prove that the effect is true, especially when the effect is surprising and the P-value barely...book chapter 2021

Aboudi, Kaoutar (author), Ahmed, Banafsha (author), Tyagi, Vinay Kumar (author), van Lier, J.B. (author)Aromatic compounds such as aromatic amines (AAs) or lignocellulose biomass derivatives are often recalcitrant to biological processes (i.e., anaerobic digestion). The level of recalcitrance is usually explained by the biochemical structure of the compounds, which determines their removal. AAs are present in dye wastewaters mainly originated...book chapter 2021
