Kramer, Melissa (author)We live in an increasingly complex world in which policy regulations and system development must balance technology, existing regulations and all the people participating in the system. Currently, digital identities facilitate multiple verification processes in multiple contexts. For example, to give the ability to prove their own identity to...master thesis 2023

Speth, Florine (author)Coral reefs are considered to be a crucial ecosystem and form of natural coastal protection. They owe their effectiveness to their high structural complexity. This complexity, which positively influences aspects like species richness, coral recovery, live coral cover, and coastal protection, is often quantified using parameters such as porosity...master thesis 2023

Luesink, Amber (author)Inequality in the city of Amsterdam is growing. While in the 70s, the city was described as a prime example of a Just City, the contemporary metropolis is growing as a city of the elite. Neoliberal planning in recent decades has focused on attracting knowledge workers to Amsterdam with a strategy of privatization, deregulation and...master thesis 2023

Schouhamer Immink, Kees A. (author), Weber, J.H. (author)We present and analyze a new construction of bipolar balanced codes where each codeword contains equally many -1's and +1's. The new code is minimally modified as the number of symbol changes made to the source word for translating it into a balanced codeword is as small as possible. The balanced codes feature low redundancy and time...journal article 2023

Hashemi Kashani, S. Mahdi (author), Pazhouhanfar, Mahdieh (author), van Oel, C.J. (author)Complexity has been known as a crucial psychological factor influencing the evaluation of the building facades preferences. However, little is known about the role of physical attributes of preferred building facades on perceived visual complexity. The objective of this study is to assess perceived visual complexity of urban building facades...journal article 2023

Wang, Jiepeng (author), Zhou, Hong (author), Sun, Xinlei (author), Yuan, Y. (author)Due to the fact that there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of how the dynamic nature of supply chain networks (SCNs) interrelates with network structures, particularly network topologies under disruptions. This research employs a novel evolving model of a supply chain network (SCNE model) by modifying the Barabási and Albert (BA)...journal article 2023

Li, G. (author), Wan, Yucheng (author), Lewis, R.W. (author), Fan, B. (author), Eelkema, R. (author)Living systems can respond to their environment through signal transduction cascades. In these cascades, original stimuli are amplified and translated into reaction or assembly events. In an effort to instill synthetic materials with biomimetic responsivity, we report an aggregation process forming a supramolecular network held together by...journal article 2023

Geng, S. (author), Yang, M. (author), Mitici, Mihaela (author), Liu, Sifeng (author)System resilience characterizes the capability of maintaining the required functionality under disruptions, which is of great significance in evaluating the productivity and safety of complex engineered systems. Although most studies conduct resilience assessment from qualitative and quantitative perspectives, system functionality that reflects...journal article 2023

Noori, S. (author), Korevaar, G. (author), Stikkelman, R.M. (author), Ramirez, Andrea (author)Self-organized industrial symbiosis (IS) starts with one actor's decision to invest in a waste recovery plant and the other actors' decision to buy the recovered flow. Technical and institutional conditions of the cluster influence actors' decisions. This paper explores the emergence of IS collaborations in industrial clusters under different...journal article 2023

Noori, Negar (author), Hoppe, T. (author), De Jong, Martin (author), Stamhuis, Evert (author)In the quest for Smart City (SC) development, numerous examples of ‘good practices’ have circulated in national and international policy arenas. Learning from good practices elsewhere is a common approach for cities to initiate and develop SC policies of their own. Nevertheless, because of political, legal and cultural differences across...journal article 2023

Wang, F. (author), Kooij, Robert (author)Network controllability and its robustness has been widely studied. However, analytical methods to calculate network controllability with respect to node removals are currently lacking. This paper develops methods, based upon generating functions for the in- and out-degree distributions, to approximate the minimum number of driver nodes...conference paper 2023

Markovich, L. (author), Migliore, Agostino (author), Messina, Antonino (author)We introduce the concept of the almost-companion matrix (ACM) by relaxing the non-derogatory property of the standard companion matrix (CM). That is, we define an ACM as a matrix whose characteristic polynomial coincides with a given monic and generally complex polynomial. The greater flexibility inherent in the ACM concept, compared to CM,...journal article 2023
