de Wit, S.I. (author), van der Velde, J.R.T. (author)Background: The field of urban forestry encompasses many dimensions, of which that of visual-spatial perception, addressing the spatial relationship between city and trees, has received little attention. Analyzing the urban forest from a visual-spatial perspective is needed to understand relationships between different components as well as site...journal article 2024

Ihsan, A.F. (author), van Horssen, W.T. (author), Tuwankotta, J.M. (author)In this paper, the vibrations of a string are considered. At one end of the string, a smooth obstacle is placed and the other end of the string is attached to a fixed point. The contact between the string and the obstacle varies in time, and leads to a linear, moving boundary value problem for the string vibrations. By applying a boundary...journal article 2024
