van Vliet, Rens (author)Ethiopia is a flourishing country with a rapidly growing economy and population. This is one of the reasons why the capital Addis Ababa is increasingly urbanizing. Due to the free market only providing housing for high incomes, many households live in poor conditions. In addition, these private developments are often built as gated communities...master thesis 2022

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

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

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

Månsson, Isabella (author)India has a cultural acceptance of gender-based violence which leads to unsafe situations for women. The cycle of violence is an ongoing phenomenon that has not given much room for improvement or prevention. But when a woman does get a chance to escape, the possibilities of a better life are minimal. Navi Mumbai’s development has a tendency for...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

Wang, Ching-Fang (author)In the first two decades of the 21st century, urbanisation along with the virtualized social and educational methods, childhood today is increasingly becoming an indoor experience. Under urban densification, a high percentage of childhood is lacking outdoor activities, especially when nature is not accessible enough in the city. The range of the...master 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

Bracken, G. (author)Asian cities are undergoing massive transformation in the face of globalization. Urbanization is not only part and parcel of these transformations; it is often the most visible expression of them. Three recent books explore some of these urban transformations: Marie Gibert-Flutre and Heidi Imai examine Asian alleyways as an urban vernacular...review 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

Tao, Y. (author), Ma, Jing (author), Shen, Yue (author), Chai, Yanwei (author)With great concern over the health-promoting environment worldwide, there is a growing body of research into the neighborhood effects on health beyond the sole focus on individual socioeconomic disadvantages and lifestyle risks. Our study contributes to neighborhood health research by investigating the combined effects of multi-dimensional...journal article 2022

Strauß, Antje (author), Wu, Tongyu (author), McQueen, James M. (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author), Hintz, Florian (author)Successful spoken-word recognition relies on interplay between lexical and sublexical processing. Previous research demonstrated that listeners readily shift between more lexically-biased and more sublexically-biased modes of processing in response to the situational context in which language comprehension takes place. Recognizing words in...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

However, none of the existing studies considered flexible services under the framework of synchromodality. This paper develops a Mixed Integer Linear...journal article 2022

Krombeen, Jasper (author)In this report, a model is presented that automates and optimizes the loading processes for the transport of steel structures at the company of ASK Romein. This transport can be captured in two main loading processes: the loading division, which consists of allocating items to different trailers, and the loading sequence, which considers placing...master thesis 2021

Zoumis, Angelos (author)Cluster editing attempts to find the minimum number of edge additions and removals on an undirected graph, that will transform the graph to one consisting of only disconnected cliques. In this paper, we propose three heuristic approaches to this problem, based on algorithms used to solve different clustering problems. The algorithms were based...bachelor thesis 2021

Hou, Ying (author)This graduation project focuses on the livability issues in the historic neighbourhood under the Chinese context. The current Chinese heritage preservation focuses on conserving material, while livability means adapt physical settings for present use. Therefore, the living condition in the historic neighbourhoods is often neglected. This thesis...master thesis 2021

Li, Karry (author)In the interest of the ‘new heritage’, the project explores the greater potential of the existing public spaces in an 80s residential neighborhood, Bijlmerplein. The design speculates how an adaptive reuse of an under-designed shopping mall from the 1980s can stimulate a fair healthy living environment within a broader neighborhood. A series of...master thesis 2021
