Gautam, K. (author), Wolf, M.E. (author), Bogaard, T.A. (author), Blom, A. (author)The dynamics of the bifurcating Karnali river in the western plains of Nepal and India is governed by the geomorphological processes in an alluvial fan. The dynamic branches showcase a notable degree of braiding, dominant channel switching and unequal discharge partitioning. Since recent switching of the dominant channel of Karnali system...abstract 2024

Çil, Ata (author)Autonomous driving is a complex problem that can potentially be solved using artificial intelligence. The complexity stems from the system's need to understand the surroundings and make appropriate decisions. However, there are various challenges in constructing such a sophisticated system. One of the main challenges is to make the agent learn...bachelor thesis 2023

Plămădeală, Ion (author)The wake effect which is turbulence behind a wind turbine created when it extracts energy negatively impacts the power output of the downstream turbines. Active Wake Control can mitigate this effect, by rotating some turbines away from the wind. Previous research applied single agent reinforcement learning to apply Active Wake Control, show- ing...bachelor thesis 2023

Kroes, Lucas (author)In this paper, we propose a method for eliciting constraints for arbitrary Domain-Specific Languages (DSL) in Program Synthesis search. We argue that we can successfully predict constraints using a form of attribute-based induction. We also provide a novel approach to constraint verification using genetic algorithms to optimize desired results....bachelor thesis 2022

Mulder, Jurgen (author)Users of anonymity networks face differential treatment and sometimes get blocked by websites, it is currently unclear how common this blocking is. This research aims to provide an overview of how common this blocking is while utilizing the AN.ON anonymity network. The analysis is accomplished by utilizing automated web scraping and processing...bachelor thesis 2021

van Nes, A. (author), Yamu, Claudia (author)In previous chapters, we demonstrated various analytic techniques focusing on the spatial aspects of the built environment. In this chapter, we discuss various methods and techniques for collecting qualitative and quantitative data dealing with human behaviour and how to connect such data to the results from various space syntax analyses. This...book chapter 2021

Guatame-Garcia, Adriana (author), Buxton, M.W.N. (author), Tinti, Francesco (author), Kasmaeeyazdi, Sara (author), Bodenan, Francoise (author), Schick, Joachim (author)This chapter provides a comprehensive review of techniques, instruments, and methods suitable for mine residue sampling and characterization, using the potential recovery of critical raw materials (CRMs) from bauxite residues as an example. The sampling methods address diverse strategies for assessing the suitability of CRMs recovery,...book chapter 2023

Louwersheimer, W.F. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Olthof, J. (author)During the construction of the first Dutch offshore wind farm prototype measurements were performed. These measurements were aimed to monitor the behaviour of the granular filter layer of the scour protection around the mono-piles upon which the wind turbines are founded. These measurements were compared to scale model test results and...conference paper 2007

Wiegel, R.L. (author)Three methods of presenting wave data are discussed: the significant wave (including the "design wave" concept), the wave spectrum, and the directional spectra. Their use in calculating wave forces on pile supported structures is described, with a discussion of the relative usefulness of the linear versus the non-linear approach. The concept of...conference paper 1969

Katzenbach, R. (author), Leppla, S. (author), Seip, M. (author)For all types of construction works the aspects safety, serviceability and sustainability have to be focused during the planning phase, the design phase, the construction phase and in the service phase. Particularly this has to be considered for complex deep foundation systems like the Combined Pile-Raft Foundation (CPRF). The basis for a...conference paper 2015

Winter, G. (author), Van Dongeren, A. (author), De Schipper, M.A. (author), Van Thiele de Vries, J.S.M. (author)Rip currents are wave-induced and off-shore directed flows which occur frequently in the surf zone and can pose a serious threat to swimmers. While the behaviour of rip currents has been studied in swell-dominated environments, less is known about their characteristics in wind-sea dominated environments. This study aims to improve the knowledge...conference paper 2012

Nedkov, S. (author), Zlatanova, S. (author)Gathering infrastructure data in emergency situations is challenging. The affected by a disaster areas are often large and the needed observations numerous. Spaceborne remote sensing techniques cover large areas but they are of limited use as their field of view may be blocked by clouds, smoke, buildings, highways, etc. Remote sensing products...conference paper 2012

Chan, P.W. (author), Johansen, E. (author), Moor, R. (author)The positive nature of partnering to resolve adversarial relationships in the construction industry is well-rehearsed. However, critics have argued that espoused benefits of partnering have not materialised because business-as-usual prevails. Furthermore, some scholars insist that more needs to be done to analyse the practices of partnering by...conference paper 2011

Galenkamp, H.F. (author), Bosma, C.F. (author)Designing challenges engineers to develop both economically attractive and safe designs. This might seem a paradox, but with the application of the observational method, wherein safety is checked by real-time monitoring, economic design and safety are united. The observational method is recently successfully applied in the Netherlands during the...conference paper 2015
