Guijt, Roosmarijn (author)For several years, the importance of a neighborhood-specific approach to tackling overweight has been emphasized. However, to date, no simulation model has been encountered that provides insight into the determinants of becoming overweight in a specific neighborhood. It is therefore difficult for policymakers to decide on a set of appropriate...master thesis 2022

van der Meer, Ralph (author)Over the past decades, car ownership in the Netherlands has been on an increase. Besides being an environmental burden, passenger cars also require a lot of space. Mitigating the impact of passenger cars on climate change and public space requires a shift to a more sustainable view of transport, in which neighborhood mobility hubs might play a...master thesis 2022

Damond, Jori (author)As our electricity system becomes more complex, decentralized, and unstable, research on solutions to relieve the grid are needed. Local energy storage could contribute significantly to the solution. This study focused on one solution in particular: the neighborhood battery. Neighborhood batteries are emerging as a technical and social...master thesis 2022

Rasing, Stef (author)Brute, A state-of-the-art inductive program synthesis (IPS) system, introduced a two-phase algorithm; first, complex pro- gram instructions are invented from basic instructions. Sec- ond, a best-first search algorithm finds a sequence of invented instructions to solve an IPS task. This method is limited because invented instructions are always...bachelor thesis 2022

Zhang, Yufang (author), van Dijk, Terry (author), Wagenaar, C. (author)Promoting adequate physical activity (PA) such as walking and cycling is essential to cope with the global health challenge of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Much research has been conducted to analyze how the built environment can promote PA, but the results are not consistent. Some scholars found that certain built environments such as...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

Guijt, Arthur (author), Thierens, Dirk (author), Alderliesten, T. (author), Bosman, P.A.N. (author)Model-Based Evolutionary Algorithms (MBEAs) can be highly scalable by virtue of linkage (or variable interaction) learning. This requires, however, that the linkage model can capture the exploitable structure of a problem. Usually, a single type of linkage structure is attempted to be captured using models such as a linkage tree. However, in...conference paper 2022
