de Wit, S.I. (author), van der Velde, J.R.T. (author)Background: The field of urban forestry encompasses many dimensions, of which that of visual-spatial perception, addressing the spatial relationship between city and trees, has received little attention. Analyzing the urban forest from a visual-spatial perspective is needed to understand relationships between different components as well as site...journal article 2024

Tsui, T.P.Y. (author), Furlan, C. (author), Wandl, Alex (author), van Timmeren, A. (author)Implementing a circular economy in cities has been proposed by policy makers as a potential solution for achieving sustainability in the construction sector. One strategy that has gained interest by both policy makers and companies is to develop “circular construction hubs”: locations that collect, store, and redistribute waste as secondary...journal article 2024

Tsalidis, G.A. (author), Xevgenos, Dimitris (author), Ktori, R. (author), Krishnan, Adithya (author), Posada Duque, J.A. (author)The sustainable supply of water is crucial, especially on islands where water is scarce. Our study applied the social life cycle assessment (S-LCA), under the organizational approach, to assess industrial water production on the island of Lampedusa, Italy. A novel plant for industrial water production considering a circular concept was...journal article 2023

Xie, Fangyun (author), Fu, Xinyue (author), Huang, R. (author)Off-site construction (OSC) is an innovative construction method. However, OSC is not widely applied in residential buildings due to many barriers. Therefore, this paper aims to unravel this puzzle and interpret the slow development of OSC. The paper develops a new analytical lens based on the ecosystem concept. By deconstructing some ecosystem...journal article 2023

Čustović, I. (author), Cao, Jianpeng (author), Hall, Daniel M. (author)More widespread use of industrialized construction (IC) is hampered by the high capital cost of advanced production facilities paired with low profit margins. A novel service-oriented cloud manufacturing (CMfg) model could in theory increase utilization and profitability of distributed production facilities. However, little research has...journal article 2023

Gonzalez Acosta, J.L. (author), Varkey, D. (author), van den Eijnden, A.P. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author)Free-field site response analysis is a standard technique used to predict soil deposit dynamic response and liquefaction susceptibility. Such analyses are typically carried out by implementing periodic boundaries to guarantee the same speed of the dynamic waves travelling across them. However, when using random fields to consider the impact of...conference paper 2023

Bobbink, I. (author), Gao, W. (author), Banfi, I. (author)The water-harvesting system of the ancient Sassi di Matera, in the Basilicata region of southern Italy, represents a clever way of living with water in an arid climate. The terrain, with its soft rocks (Calcarenite di Gravina), provided the foundation for the water-harvesting system that shaped the cave dwellings of Sassi physically, socially...journal article 2023

Trikannad, S.A. (author), van Halem, D. (author), Foppen, J.W.A. (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)Slow Sand Filtration is popular in drinking water treatment for the removal of a wide range of contaminants (e.g., particles, organic matter, and microorganisms). The Schmutzdecke in slow sand filters (SSFs) is known to be essential for pathogen removal, however, this layer is also responsible for increased head loss. Since the role of deeper...journal article 2023

Varkey, D. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), van den Eijnden, A.P. (author)Uncertainty is inevitable in the characterisation of a geotechnical site, especially due to the inherently heterogeneous nature of the ground. In this paper, a method for characterising a subsurface with limited cone penetration test (CPT) data is proposed. The method is based on integrating predictions of CPT parameters with a probabilistic...journal article 2023

Bennis, N.X. (author), Kostanjsek, M. (author), van den Broek, M.A. (author), Daran, J.G. (author)Saccharomyces pastorianus is not a classical taxon, it is an interspecific hybrid resulting from the cross of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces eubayanus. Exhibiting heterosis for phenotypic traits such as wort α-oligosaccharide consumption and fermentation at low temperature, it has been domesticated to become the main workhorse of...journal article 2023

Guest-induced structural deformation in Cu-based metal-organic framework upon hydrocarbon adsorptionLuna-Triguero, Azahara (author), Andres Garcia, E. (author), Leo LLorente, P. (author), Rook, W. (author), Kapteijn, F. (author)In a world where capture and separation processes represent above 10% of global energy consumption, novel porous materials, such as Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) used in adsorption-based processes are a promising alternative to dethrone the high-energy-demanding distillation. Shape and size tailor-made pores in combination with Lewis acidic...journal article 2023

Melsom, James (author), Hurkxkens, Ilmar (author)Landscape erosion processes can be problematic and are universal in their effect on all forms of landscape contexts and conditions. Hydrological erosion processes are important features of ecologies, yet are often extremely problematic, and can be exacerbated by climate extremes, weather events, animal and human activities, and especially...journal article 2023

(author), Nickel, Joachim (author)Bone Morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) like BMP2 and BMP7 have shown great potential in the treatment of severe bone defects. In recent in vitro studies, BMP9 revealed the highest osteogenic potential compared to other BMPs, possibly due to its unique signaling pathways that differs from other osteogenic BMPs. However, in vivo the bone forming...journal article 2023

van der Krogt, M.G. (author)Dikes are crucial for the protection against floods. One of the ways in which dikes can fail is by the instability of the inner slope. Credible probabilities of failure for slope stability are essential for the safety assessment of existing dikes and the design of dike reinforcements. This dissertation focuses on improving failure probability...doctoral thesis 2022
