Benjert, Zylan (author)We consider the problem of random walks moving around on a lattice Zd with an initial Poisson distribution of traps. We consider both static and moving traps. In the static case, we prove that the survival time has a decay of e−c t d /d +2 based on a heuristic argument. In the moving case we aim to prove the sub-exponential...bachelor thesis 2023

Kalaichelvi Senthil Kumar, Ganesh ShriRaam (author)Given the desire to construct more structures using sustainable building materials, demand for wood and other bio-based building materials has risen dramatically over the decade. While timber itself is a carbon-neutral material and can sometimes even be carbon-negative, reusing wooden structural members made that have been in service for several...master thesis 2023

Geržinic, N. (author), Cats, O. (author), van Oort, N. (author), Hoogendoorn-Lanser, S. (author), Bierlaire, Michel (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Understanding user's perception of service variability is essential to discern their overall perception of any type of (transport) service. We study the perception of waiting time variability for ride-hailing services. We carried out a stated preference survey in August 2021, yielding 936 valid responses. The respondents were faced with...journal article 2023

Darwish Khabbaz, M. (author), Zarras, Apostolis (author)During the recent development of information technology and the prevalent breakthroughs of its services, more digital data tend to be readily stored online. Although the massive advantages, there is a pivotal necessity for curating digital data forgetting. Online content can pose perilous threats in terms of privacy and security that may...conference paper 2023

Schlembach, Florian (author), Ehlers, F. (author), Kleinherenbrink, M. (author), Passaro, Marcello (author), Dettmering, Denise (author), Seitz, Florian (author), Slobbe, D.C. (author)Estimating the three geophysical variables significant wave height (SWH), sea surface height, and wind speed from satellite altimetry continues to be challenging in the coastal zone because the received radar echoes exhibit significant interference from strongly reflective targets such as sandbanks, sheltered bays, ships etc. Fully focused...journal article 2023

Gard, W.F. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)Timber pile foundations are widespread in many areas around Europe and North-America. Especially in areas with weak soils, timber pile foundations have been a very good and economic solution. That foundations can be up to 500 years in service in cities like Venice, Amsterdam, Boston and many others. Degradation of the piles may occur over...book chapter 2023

Ziemiecka, Ewa (author)We spent hours sitting in silence, until he turned his eyes away from the window and spoke: ‘I would like to tell you one last story, It has been decided, there will be no more travels beyond the edge for me.’ In the following days I heard, not one but five, stories of people M encountered – inhabitants of the land he traveled to. Truth be told,...master thesis 2022

Zander, F. (author)Organic matter plays a major role in global ecosystems and has several functions in terrestrial and marine environments. As organic matter impacts, among others, the rheological behaviour and settling rates of mineral sediment particles, it is of great relevance to the definition and maintenance of the nautical depth in ports and waterways. The...doctoral thesis 2022

LEE, Jacky (author)The city of Trieste has been filled with ageing urban fabrics and abandoned industrial buildings due to obsolescence. Witnessing the decay of the city excusably provoked the pessimism of the locals as it made them conscious of the fact that their life and pride are degrading. The negative labels associated with decay inevitably seized the...master thesis 2022

(author), Ramesh Reddy, L. (author)Currently, the design of floating offshore wind systems is primarily based on mid-fidelity models with empirical drag forces. The tuning of the model coefficients requires data from either experiments or high-fidelity simulations. As part of the OC6 (Offshore Code Comparison Collaboration, Continued, with Correlation, and unCertainty (OC6) is a...journal article 2022

Petrović, A. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Manley, D.J. (author)There is no theoretical reason to assume that neighborhood effects operate at a constant single spatial scale across multiple urban settings or over different periods of time. Despite this, many studies use large, single-scale, predefined spatial units as proxies for neighborhoods. Recently, the use of bespoke neighborhoods has challenged the...journal article 2022

Zander, F. (author), Groengroeft, A. (author), Eschenbach, A. (author), Heimovaara, T.J. (author), Gebert, J. (author)Anaerobic sediment organic matter decay generates methane, delays sediment consolidation, reduces sediment density, viscosity and shear strength, all impacting the sediment rheological parameters and the navigable depth. This study quantifies the share of anaerobically and aerobically degradable sediment organic matter (SOM) in a depth...journal article 2022

Rentschler, Manuel (author), Chandramouli, P. (author), Vaz, Guilherme (author), Viré, A.C. (author), Gonçalves, Rodolfo T. (author)With the advancement of high-performance computation capabilities in recent years, high-fidelity modelling tools such as computational fluid dynamics are becoming increasingly popular in the offshore renewable sector. To justify the credibility of the numerical simulations, thorough verification and validation is essential. In this work,...journal article 2022

Landman, H.M. (author), de Vries, Daný (author), Binsch, Olaf (author)The current study was performed to obtain insight into the retention of combat lifesaving (CLS) skills after initial training and to compare a more individualized-style training with a more classroom-style training. We measured performance at 0 month, 2 months, and 6 months after initial training in 40 CLSers (17 individualized, 23 classroom)...journal article 2022

Fuchs, P.S. (author), Remis, R.F. (author)In this article, we present full-wave signal models for magnetic and electric field measurements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Our analysis is based on a scattering formalism in which the presence of an object or body is taken into account via an electric scattering source. We show that these signal models can be evaluated, provided...journal article 2022

Anunay Prasanna, Anunay (author)The human body is the subject of several interesting phenomena and blood flow comes under that category. The main motivator for this thesis is the flow of blood in aneurysms. An aneurysm is a sudden expansion of an artery, with large expansion angles causing an adverse pressure gradient and leading to flow separation. Several studies have shown...master thesis 2021

Grosveld, Marcus (author)The conflictual past of Beirut is being erased by the company of Solidere, which has a strong will to modernise, through a highly destructive reconstruction, in an effort to heal the city. With this project, a new approach is taken on, in which an old concrete structure, riddled with bullet holes, part of the great variety of dilapidated and...master thesis 2021

Pardo Redondo, G. (author), Naldini, S. (author), Lubelli, B. (author)Historic concrete buildings (end of 19th century – 1960s), because of their “experimental” character, require a specific approach to both survey and conservation. Although they were built with empirical approaches, some buildings show a fair state of conservation and resilience –even though they have already exceeded the 100-year threshold–...conference paper 2021

We present methods and tools that allow tracking of each line’s or token’s birth and death. Through them, we...journal article 2021

(author), Nunes, Cristiana (author), Vecchiattini, Rita (author)Historic concrete buildings are at risk. Limited knowledge of concrete technology until the 1960s led to more sensitive buildings than modern concrete buildings. In addition, the lack of sensibility regarding their heritage value and insufficient protection is leading to remorseless demolition. Still, concrete has proved to be a resilient...journal article 2021
