Compatibility Assessment of Multistatic/Polarimetric Clutter Data with the SIRP Model

This article deals with the statistical inference of simultaneously recorded co- and cross-polarized bistatic coherent sea-clutter returns at S-band. This study is conducted employing appropriate statistical learning tools, involving the complex envelope of data, to assess the compliance of the available measurements with the spherically...

Modelling COVID-19 in The Netherlands

In this thesis, we present a study to obtain a clear and accurate overview of the progress and behaviour of COVID-19 in the Netherlands. We distinguish two parts for this study. The first part is to estimate the total number of infected people as a function of time by combining data from hospital admissions, daily reported cases and serological...

The livability of spaces: Performance and/or resilience?: Reflections on the effects of spatial heterogeneity in transport and energy systems and the implications on urban environmental quality

Cities can be seen as systems of organized complexity formed by interrelated and highly dynamic sub-systems. This paper reflects on the interactions and tensions between socio-ecological and/or socio-technical sub-systems in cities and their capacity to either improve or block urban processes. In this context, spatial heterogeneity could enhance...

Effect of spatial heterogeneity of runoff generation mechanisms on the scaling behavior of event runoff responses in a natural river basin

This paper presents a theoretical investigation of the effects of spatial heterogeneity of runoff generation on the scaling behavior of runoff timing responses. A previous modeling study on the Illinois River Basin in Oklahoma had revealed a systematic spatial trend in the relative dominance of different runoff generation mechanisms,...

Geographic and dynamic heterogeneity of home ownership

Workshop 2.Session B. Abstract. Determination of the demand for home ownership is analysed. Determinants include prices and short- and medium-term price changes, public regulation (regulation of house rent, housing subsidies, taxation), competition from alternative residence forms (measured by supply of subsidized housing), social composition of...
