Spoormans, L.G.K. (author), Pereira Roders, A. (author), Czischke, D.K. (author), de Jonge, W. (author)In the last century, the concept of what can be heritage has expanded in definition, opening to everyday architecture and living environments. More recently, the group of stakeholders to be involved in heritage assessment and management has slowly grown, with authorities acknowledging that heritage significance lies in the representation and...journal article 2023

Kingma, E. (author), Diepeveen, E.T. (author), Iñigo de la Cruz, L.M. (author), Laan, L. (author)The ability of cells to translate different extracellular cues into different intracellular responses is vital for their survival in unpredictable environments. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cell polarity is modulated in response to environmental signals which allows cells to adopt varying morphologies in different external conditions. The...journal article 2023

Yarally, Tim (author), Cruz, Luis (author), Feitosa, Daniel (author), Sallou, J. (author), van Deursen, A. (author)Modern AI practices all strive towards the same goal: better results. In the context of deep learning, the term "results"often refers to the achieved accuracy on a competitive problem set. In this paper, we adopt an idea from the emerging field of Green AI to consider energy consumption as a metric of equal importance to accuracy and to...conference paper 2023

Spoormans, L.G.K. (author)Housing developments in the Netherlands have been influenced by national and local policies regarding spatial planning, building regulations, tax regulations and subsidy programs. At the beginning of the 20th century, the ‘Woningwet’ [Housing Act, 1901] kick-started Dutch policies on housing. This act aimed to put an end to unhealthy housing...book chapter 2023

Wang, X. (author), Baldi, S. (author), Feng, Xuewei (author), Wu, Changwei (author), Xie, Hongwei (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)The vector field method was originally proposed to guide a single fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) towards a desired path. In this work, a non-uniform vector field method is proposed that changes in both magnitude and direction, for the purpose of achieving formations of UAVs. As compared to related work in the literature, the...journal article 2023
