van Lith, Jochem (author)Learning algorithms can perform poorly in unseen environments when they learn<br/>spurious correlations. This is known as the out-of-domain (OOD) generalization problem. Invariant Risk Minimization (IRM) is a method that attempts to solve this problem by learning invariant relationships. Motivating examples as well as counterexamples have been...bachelor thesis 2022

Guo, L. (author)The main goal of this project is to predict the in uence of non-uniform basin depths on the stability of single inlet systems. This is achieved by making use of Escoffier's principle, which poses a relationship between the relative water flow velocity in an inlet and the rate of change of its cross-sectional area. To this end, a thorough...bachelor thesis 2016

Pavinato Olimpio, E. (author), Gomez Alvarez, D.R. (author), Youk, H.O. (author)Living systems, particularly multicellular systems, often seem hopelessly complex. But recent studies have suggested that, beneath this complexity, there may be unifying quantitative principles that are only now starting to unravel. All cells interact with their environments and with other cells. Communication among cells is a primary means for...book chapter 2017

van de Ven, F.H.M. (author), Hooimeijer, F.L. (author), Storm, P. (author)The ambition to Build Back Better after a serious flood disaster is a complex challenge. A comprehensive, multi-disciplinary redevelopment planning process is required to reduce the flood risk and meanwhile create sustainable solutions that bring added value to society every day. General planning principles can be formulated on how to develop...book chapter 2020

(author)The knowledge of water levels and discharges in urban drainage and stormwater management (UDSM) systems is of key importance to understand their functioning and processes, to evaluate their performance, and to provide data for modelling. In this chapter, devoted mainly to underground combined and separate sewer pipe systems, various methods and...book chapter 2021

Nijhuis, S. (author), Sun, Yimin (author), Cannatella, D. (author), Xie, G. (author)Adaptive urban transformations employ landscape-based regional design as an integrative and multiscale design and planning approach for sustainable urban development. In this approach, natural and urban dynamics as derived from systems analysis set the pace and nature of adaptation. This chapter presents an initial strategy for adaptive urban...book chapter 2023

Yu, Changbin (author), Li, Lin (author), Ying, Shen (author), He, Biao (author), Zhao, Zhigang (author), Wan, Yuan (author)When the land use pattern changes from an extensive way to an intensive way, the development of 3D land-use has become reality. Due to the vertical heterogeneity of property rights, establishment of 3D cadastre is imperative. Meanwhile, registration and certification of the property rights have become important approaches to serve public and...conference paper 2012

Post, R.A.G. (author), Blijlevens, J. (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author)The principle of unity-in-variety has recently been shown to affect visual aesthetic appreciation of product designs. We investigated whether this principle can also account for tactile aesthetic appreciation of products. Design students rated nine car keys on unity, variety and aesthetic appreciation through tactile exploration only. Results...conference paper 2014

Hobma, F. (author)This paper aims at answering the question: How can we explain the evidently unstoppable growth of regulations for planning and building? The answer to this question is of relevance, since we have been (and still are) confronted with the negative consequences of an overly complex and comprehensive legal framework for planning and building. This...conference paper 2011

(author)The influence of fiber-matrix adhesion on the linear viscoelastic creep behavior of as received and surface modified carbon fiber (AR-CF and SM-CF, respectively) reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) composite materials was investigated. Short-term tensile creep tests were performed on ±45° specimens under four different isothermal condition;...conference paper 2014

Slinger, J.H. (author), Yucel, G. (author), Pruyt, E. (author)Much attention is focused on the rational and advisory style of developing and applying System Dynamics models. Even group model building focuses primarily on the formulation and understanding of the model by the group members themselves. There is a dearth of attention for communication of the insights derived during the model building process...conference paper 2009

Yao, L. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)This paper provides a study on mode I fatigue delamination growth in composite laminates using energy principles. Experimental data has been obtained from fatigue tests conducted on Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) specimens at various stress ratios. A concept of fatigue fracture toughness is proposed to interpret the stress ratio effect in crack...conference paper 2015

Tsouvalas, A. (author), Hendrikse, H. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)Modal decomposition is often used in geophysics and acoustics for the solution of problems related to wave propagation in elastic or acousto-elastic waveguides. One of the key elements of this method is the solution of an eigenvalue problem for obtaining the roots of the characteristic equation, which may signify either frequencies or...conference paper 2014
