Niklaß, Malte (author), Grewe, V. (author), Gollnick, V (author)Approximately two third of aviation’s climate impact is caused by non-CO2 effects, like the production of ozone and the formation of contrail-cirrus clouds, which can be effectively prevented by re-routing flights around highly climate-sensitive areas. Although climate-optimized re-routing results in slightly longer flight times, increased fuel...abstract 2020

Dahlmann, K. (author), Matthes, Sigrun (author), Yamashita, H. (author), Unterstrasser, S. (author), Grewe, V. (author), Marks, Tobias (author)An operational measure to aim for mitigation of aviation climate impact that is inspired by migrant birds is to fly in aerodynamic formation. This operational measure adapted to human aircraft would eventually save fuel and is, therefore, expected to reduce the climate impact of aviation. As this method changes beside the total emission also the...abstract 2020

Ylla Arbos, C. (author), Schielen, R.M.J. (author), van Vuren, Saskia (author), Snoek, Yvo (author), Blom, A. (author)Channel adjustment in engineered rivers is often associated with channel bed incision (e.g., Chowdhury et al., 2023, Czapiga et al., 2022a, 2022b, Ylla Arbós et al., 2021). Channel bed incision reduces the stability of in-river structures, exposes river-crossing cables and pipelines, and the spatial variability of channel bed incision due to...abstract 2024

Tolsma, Pieter (author)The Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) has gained in popularity since the increased connectivity of everyday items to the Internet. One of the discovered attacks on RPL is the rank attack, which opens up possibilities for attackers to control traffic in the RPL network by spoofing their priority. Many solutions have been...bachelor thesis 2021

Abbasi, Anas (author)Alkali-activated concrete (AAC) has emerged as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional concrete, as It is a cement-free concrete made by activating precursors (mainly low-cost, low-CO2 industrial by-products) with alkalis. AAC has demonstrated some remarkable mechanical properties and long-term performance (e.g., high strength,...bachelor thesis 2020

Witting, Emiel (author)Domain adaptation allows machine learning models to perform well in a domain that is different from the available train data. This non-trivial task is approached in many ways and often relies on assumptions about the source (train) and target (test) domains. Unsupervised domain adaptation uses unlabeled target data to mitigate a shift or bias...bachelor thesis 2023

Ngunjiri, J.N. (author), Waweru, I.W. (author)The increasing frequency of disasters, coupled with a number of emerging threats and trends, are leaving more people vulnerable to the effects of disasters and inflicting greater damage, loss, and dislocation on vulnerable people worldwide. According to the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED), in 2008, more than 235,000...conference paper 2015

Fitrianie, S. (author), Rothkrantz, L.J.M. (author)Innovations in mobile technology allow people to request route information on their smartphone to reach safe areas during emergency and disaster evacuations. In return, the affected people in the field can send their observation reports, e.g. using a dedicated icon-based disaster language. However, given the turbulent nature of disaster...conference paper 2015

Van der Lugt, P. (author), Vogtländer, J.G. (author), Alexander, J. (author), Bongers, F. (author), Stebbins, H. (author)In a carbon footprint assessment, the greenhouse gas emissions during the life cycle of a material can be measured, and compared to alternative products in terms of kg CO2 equivalent. If applied correctly, wood acetylation opens up a range of new innovative applications in which high performance yet carbon intensive non-renewable materials such...conference paper 2014

(author)Biological treatment using Methane Oxidizing Bacteria (MOB) immobilized on carrier materials is considered as the best solution to mitigate methane emission at low concentrations (e.g., in animal houses). The porosity of the support is one of the most important factors for an efficient removal of methane. In animal houses, building materials...conference paper 2013
