Berck, Dominique (author)This research investigates how to break through intra-organizational data silos in multinational engineering companies by analyzing data sharing networks. Data occurs in many ways like numbers, statistics, and documents in structured and unstructured forms. Companies consider data as one of their most valuable assets for decision-making and to...master thesis 2020

van Berkom, Ivanka (author)In situ tests, such as the cone penetration test (CPT), are a popular tool for geotechnical engineers because they are an efficient and economical method for routine site characterisation, soil profiling and estimation of constitutive properties of soil. The main problem with interpreting in situ test results is the large amount of empiricism...master thesis 2020

Krishnakumari, P.K. (author)Cities are complex, dynamic and ever-evolving. We need to understand how these cities work in order to predict, control or optimize their operations. We have identified some open issues related to network and data complexity that need to be solved to build feasible methods for these purposes. To this end, we first build multiscale graphs...doctoral thesis 2020

Gerding, Ditte (author), Wamelink, J.W.F. (author), Leclercq, E.M. (author)Circularity aims to reduce waste by closing and narrowing resource loops and by extending the lifetime of materials and products. As a consequence of this fundamentally different approach to construction practices, implementation entails a different organization of the building process. The purpose of this research is to make recommendations...conference paper 2020

Warnier, Martijn (author), Alkema, Vincent (author), Comes, M. (author), van de Walle, B.A. (author)In the immediate aftermath of a disaster, local and international aid organisations deploy to deliver life-saving aid to the affected population. Yet pre-disaster road maps and road transportation models do not capture disruptions to the transportation network caused by the disaster or the dynamic changes of the situation, resulting in...journal article 2020

Yan, J. (author), Haffner, M.E.A. (author), Elsinga, M.G. (author)In recent decades, government intervention in welfare states has witnessed a shift from ‘government’ to ‘governance’: policy making shifted from hierarchical government steering to mixed forms involving government, market and civic actors. Such terminology has also entered Chinese policy language on public rental housing (PRH) provision. To...journal article 2020

Pearson, S.G. (author), van Prooijen, Bram (author), Elias, Edwin P.L. (author), Vitousek, Sean (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Connectivity provides a framework for analyzing coastal sediment transport pathways, building on conceptual advances in graph theory from other scientific disciplines. Connectivity schematizes sediment pathways as a directed graph (i.e., a set of nodes and links). This study presents a novel application of graph theory and connectivity...journal article 2020

Van den Berghe, K.B.J. (author), Daamen, T.A. (author)In last three decades, planning agencies of most ports have institutionally evolved into a (semi-) independent port authority. The rationale behind this process is that port authorities are able to react more quickly to changing logistical and spatial preferences of maritime firms, hence increasing the competitiveness of ports. Although these...book chapter 2020

van Meurs, Bram (author)Floods cause major problems around the world. Over 35 million people were affected by floods in 2018. They have a growing worldwide impact on life and property. Changes in climate conditions lead to unanticipated variations in glacial runoffs, snowmelt and precipitation, which all significantly changing river flows. An imbalance in river network...master thesis 2019

Zeeuwe, Daan (author)Biologically plausible representations have been found to emerge in particular recurrent neural networks when training on path-integration [1, 2]. This report explores factors influencing the occurrence of entorhinal-like representations in recurrent neural networks. Reproducing simplified models from existing studies and created a hybrid model...master thesis 2019

Tundulyasaree, Krissada (author)Public transport networks (PTNs) have an impact on both travelers’ behavior and system operations. A meaningful approach to investigate PTNs is via their topological structure because it was found to be correlated to the operational performance, the total ridership, consumer experience, passenger flow distribution, and network resilience. A...master thesis 2019

Li, Ziyu (author)Link prediction in complex networks has attracted increasing attention. The link prediction algorithms can be used to retrieve missing information, identify spurious interactions, capturing net- work evolution, and so on. Recently, network embedding has been proposed as a new strategy to embed network into low-dimensional vector space. By...master thesis 2019

Clerx, Miriam (author)Facing the age of digitalisation, inspectorates are changing their way of working using a risk-oriented and data-driven approach. Social Network Analysis (SNA) seems to be promising in detecting fraud and simultaneously contributing to increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of inspection work. SNA emphasises the structural aspects of...master thesis 2019

Andreas Yunus, Andreas (author)A nation’s main port is a crucial component that contributes to the economic development of a country. Therefore, the role of the port becomes more critical nowadays. However, due to the existing hub-and-spoke structure of the European multimodal transportation network, polarisation and regionalisation are visible in the network. The increasing...master thesis 2019

Blanchini, Franco (author), Giordano, G. (author)In biochemical networks, the steady-state input-output influence is the sign of the output steady-state variation due to a persistent positive input perturbation; if the sign does not depend on the value of the strictly positive system parameters, the influence is structural. As recently shown for small perturbations, when the linearized...journal article 2019

Wu, H. (author), Qian, QK (author), Straub, A. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)The growing environmental problems, the rapid urbanization, and the disappearance of the demographic dividend in China has brought unprecedented opportunities to the development of prefabricated housing (PH). However, many barriers are hindering the promotion of PH, for instance, cost, lack of regulations, and the shortage of knowledge, among...journal article 2019

Wäckerlin, Niels (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Warnier, Martijn (author), de Jong, W. Martin (author)In a globalising world, cities find themselves competing for visitors, residents, investors, and companies. They use place branding strategies to become more visible. However, conceptual and analytical confusion exists on the subjects of place image and brand identity, and current studies are limited to single cities, neglecting inter-city...journal article 2019
