den Haan, Robert-Jan (author), Biemond, Bouke (author), Baart, F. (author)Salt intrusion is a growing problem in many deltas around the world. During periods with low river discharges, salinity upstream in a delta increases and affects freshwater availability, ecology, and other delta functions. For example, in the Rhine-Meuse estuary (the Netherlands), brackish water can reach drinking water intakes about 40 km from...abstract 2024

Christiansen, L.V.C. (author), Bharosa, Nitesh (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)As the development of quantum computers advances, actors relying on public key infrastructures (PKI) for secure information exchange are becoming aware of the disruptive implications. Currently, governments and businesses employ PKI for many core processes that may become insecure or unavailable when quantum computers break the cryptographic...conference paper 2023

Freese, M. (author), van Vliet, Karen (author)Organizations will go through great lengths to prevent accidents from occurring. This is shown in the implementation of safety management systems in which all procedures are captured describing how work can be done safely. Stopping the work is seen as one of the last barriers in risk management. Our theoretical analyses and conducted interviews...conference paper 2023

(author), Bidarra, Rafael (author)Mostly, restorative environments, like parks and forests, are only thought of in the real world. However, one can wonder whether their restorative effects translate to a virtual world; and whether the environment itself makes any difference. In order to assess the possible translation of restorative properties from the real world to a virtual...conference paper 2023

Kniestedt, I. (author), Lefter, I. (author), Lukosch, Stephan (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)Although games are frequently described as ‘engaging’, what this means exactly continues to be subject of debate in game literature. Engagement is often defined through related concepts like immersion and positive emotions. However, this neglects the fact that applied games aim to provide more than an entertaining experience, and that engagement...journal article 2022

Bolijn, Hidde (author), Li, Martin (author), Reurink, Andries (author), van Rijn, Cas (author), Bidarra, Rafael (author)Many people think of reforestation projects as one-dimensional, simply consisting of planting trees. In reality, a reforestation project takes into account a wide variety of factors, of which the three most important are improving soil quality, reducing fire hazard, and ensuring the prosperity of the community. We posit that a simplistic view on...conference paper 2022

Kniestedt, I. (author), Gómez Maureira, Marcello A. (author), Lefter, I. (author), Lukosch, Stephan (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)Validation of serious games tends to focus on evaluating their design as a whole. While this helps to assess whether a particular combination of game mechanics is successful, it provides little insight into how individual mechanics contribute or detract from a serious game's purpose or a player's game experience. This study analyses the effect...journal article 2021
