Rogers, Eben (author)When writing functional code that composes multiple recursive functions that operate on a datastrcuture, we often incur a lot of computational overhead allocating memory, only to later read, use, and discard this information.<br/>This can be alleviated using fusion, a technique that combines these multiple recursive datastructure traversals into...master thesis 2024

Heller, Hanna (author)Many countries such as Brazil, have a low percentage of recycled container glass due to multiple factors, such as inadequate waste collection and recycling infrastructure, low public awareness about recycling’s significance, and insufficient laws to promote it. In addition, the country faces high levels of homelessness and inadequate housing. As...master thesis 2024

(author), Ma, Yunjian (author), Wang, Yonghua (author), Zhang, Jie (author), Liu, Weidong (author), Zhang, Wuyuan (author)The downstream product transformation of lignin depolymerization is of great interest in the production of high-value aromatic chemicals. However, this transformation is often impeded by chemical oxidation under harsh reaction conditions. In this study, we demonstrate that hypohalites generated in situ by the vanadium-containing...journal article 2024

Xu, Yanghui (author), Wang, Xintu (author), Ou, Q. (author), Zhou, Zhongbo (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author), Liu, G. (author)Increasing wildfire frequency, a consequence of global climate change, releases incomplete combustion byproducts such as aquatic pyrogenic dissolved organic matter (DOM) and black carbon (DBC) into waters, posing a threat to water security. In August 2022, a series of severe wildfires occurred in Chongqing, China. Samples from seven locations...journal article 2024

Rinauro, B. (author), Begovic, E. (author), Mauro, F. (author), Rosano, G. (author)The seaway trade market has expanded in the last years and container ship dimensions are constantly increasing for higher cargo capacity. In the early design stage, main dimensions are usually determined based on an existing ship database from which regression formulas are derived. In the present paper, a database of 260 non-sister container...journal article 2024

Düzgün, Osman (author)Alternative fuels can help the maritime shipping industry to lower its emissions. However, there are commercial risks that surround the adoption of these cleaner fuels. A book & claim based carbon insetting initiative could reduce these commercial risks and accelerate the decarbonization of the maritime shipping industry. Carbon insetting is...master thesis 2023

Pîrcălăboiu, Laura (author)Docker has been one of the most widely used DevOps tools in the last decade, enabling fast development of personalized services. Indeed, the common practice is to reuse already available containers and customize them based on the developer's needs. DockerHub is the leading platform for uploading and downloading Docker containers. Unfortunately,...master thesis 2023

van Meijeren, Michelle (author)Electrification of numerous end-users is a worldwide trend to address climate change, according to the International Energy Agency. This trend has also reached container terminal operators. Currently most of the ship-to-shore cranes employed are electrified, leading to an increase in the required electrical power demand and to an increase in the...master thesis 2023

Stoter, Jasper (author)Seaport operators are becoming more environmentally conscious and are looking to electrify their terminals to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This leads to higher energy-related costs and more congestion on the electricity grid. This thesis investigates the potential of demand response as a viable strategy to reduce energy-related costs....master thesis 2023

Huijsman, Robbert (author)TreeContainment is a well-known problem within phylogenetics, which asks whether a binary phylogenetic tree is embedded in a binary phylogenetic network. For this problem, Jones, Weller and van Iersel (2022) have created an algorithm that uses dynamic programming on tree-decompositions to achieve a running time that is exponential in the tree...master thesis 2023

Alkisaei, H. (author), Maachi, Y. (author), Justino de Lima, C. (author), Noteboom, C. (author), Louter, P.C. (author)Container glass is omnipresent and reuse can be observed all around the world. It can even be reused for the construction of structural components for buildings of which several examples exist around the world. However, research on the reuse of glass for structural components seems lacking. Therefore, this paper investigates the potential of...conference paper 2023

Fazi, S. (author), Choudhary, Sourabh Kumar (author), Dong, Jing Xin (author)We study a typical daily drayage problem concerning the last-mile logistics at seaports for inland container supply chains. A set of trucks available at an inland container terminal must fulfil shippers’ requests of transporting containers within time windows and, to do so, can perform multiple daily trips. A request may entail picking up or...journal article 2023
