Boonstra, Marchien (author)Personal weather station (PWS) networks have the potential to supply precipitation data at high spatial and temporal resolution for urban hydrological modeling. Past research has shown promising results on the quality of PWS data, for example from Netatmo gauges, but studies on other PWS brands are limited. This thesis assesses the quality of...master thesis 2024

Liu, J. (author), Bregoli, Francesco (author), Crosato, A. (author), Calvani, Giulio (author)Working as natural filter, well-designed vegetation schemes have been widely applied to improve the quality of water (Aiona, 2013; Stefanakis, 2015). Proper design, however, requires appropriate physics-based modelling of their filtering capacity. Several theoretical models predicting sediment transport in vegetated flow have been proposed:...abstract 2024

(author), Bico, José (author), Habibi, Mehdi (author), Mirzaali, Mohammad J. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Emerging 4D printing techniques have enabled the realization of smart materials whose shape or properties can change with time. Two important phenomena play important roles in the 4D printing of shape memory polymeric materials. First, the anisotropic deformation of the printed filaments due to residual stresses can be harnessed to create out...journal article 2024

Zhang, S. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Wang, H. (author)Nodal spreading influence is the capability of a node to activate the rest of the network when it is the seed of spreading. Combining nodal properties (centrality metrics) derived from local and global topological information respectively has been shown to better predict nodal influence than using a single metric. In this work, we investigate...journal article 2024

Krishnan, S. (author), Aydin, N.Y. (author), Comes, M. (author)Increasing frequency of climate-related disruptions requires transformational responses over the lifecycles of interconnected urban systems with short- and long-term change dynamics. However, the aftermath of disruptions is often characterised by short-sighted decision-making, neglecting long-term urban shifts. In this study, we present a...journal article 2024

Yu, C. (author), Van Zuijlen, Mitchell J.P. (author), Spoiala, C. (author), Pont, S.C. (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), Hurlbert, Anya (author)The spectral shape, irradiance, direction, and diffuseness of daylight vary regularly throughout the day. The variations in illumination and their effect on the light reflected from objects may in turn provide visual information as to the time of day. We suggest that artists' color choices for paintings of outdoor scenes might convey this...journal article 2024
