Jonk, Silke (author)The circular economy is becoming an increasingly popular framework, guiding policymakers and practitioners toward sustainable resource management and economic development. While the concept is promising in providing guidelines toward the efficient use of resources and waste minimalization, circular economy implementation is criticized for its...master thesis 2023

Notten, Diederik (author)The Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) has been finding it increasingly difficult to carry out its task in recent years. Increasingly, they have been in the news negatively with reports such as poor conditions in Ter Apel, hopeless waiting times for applicants and having to pay penalty payments. Besides the media attention, it is...master thesis 2023

Borst, Twan (author)Bottom up load forecasting, is a technique where energy consumption forecasts are made on lower spatial levels, after which the resulting forecasts are aggregated to form forecasts of higher spatial levels. With the current move to renewable energy sources and the importance of reducing the strain on an already congested electricity grid,...bachelor thesis 2023

Mens, J.S. (Jeroen) (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author), Vrijhoef, R. (author), Heurkens, E.W.T.M. (author)Comprehensive understanding of the merits of bottom-up urban development is lacking, thus hampering and complicating associated collaborative processes. Therefore, and given the assumed relevancies, we mapped the social, environmental and economic values generated by bottom-up developments in two Dutch urban areas, using theory-based evaluation...journal article 2023

Godino, E. (author), Danelon, C.J.A. (author)Mimicking bacterial cell division in well-defined cell-free systems has the potential to elucidate the minimal set of proteins required for cytoskeletal formation, membrane constriction, and final abscission. Membrane-anchored FtsZ polymers are often regarded as a sufficient system to realize this chain of events. By using purified FtsZ and...journal article 2023

Daalman, W.K. (author), Sweep, E. (author), Laan, L. (author)Accurate phenotype prediction based on genetic information has numerous societal applications, such as crop design or cellular factories. Epistasis, when biological components interact, complicates modelling phenotypes from genotypes. Here we show an approach to mitigate this complication for polarity establishment in budding yeast, where...journal article 2023

Van de Cauter, L. (author), van Buren, L. (author), Koenderink, G.H. (author), Ganzinger, Kristina A. (author)Creating an artificial cell from the bottom up is a long-standing challenge and, while significant progress has been made, the full realization of this goal remains elusive. Arguably, one of the biggest hurdles that researchers are facing now is the assembly of different modules of cell function inside a single container. Giant unilamellar...review 2023

Martinez-Rabert, Eloi (author), Sloan, William T. (author), Gonzalez Cabaleiro, R. (author)Hypothesis and theory-based studies in microbial ecology have been neglected in favour of those that are descriptive and aim for data-gathering of uncultured microbial species. This tendency limits our capacity to create new mechanistic explanations of microbial community dynamics, hampering the improvement of current environmental...review 2023

(author), Hansen, Nicolai Brodersen (author), Raetzsch, Christoph (author), Shoji, Masahiko (author), Bieber, Christoph (author), Hendawy, Mennatullah (author)The design of civic tech is often confronted with impediments, barriers, and a lack of resources. These and other causes may lead to the discontinuation and even abandonment of initiatives. Since seemingly failed projects are much more difficult to publish as articles, this workshop will provide academics and practitioners with a rare...conference paper 2023

van Haelst, Tijmen (author)Through bottom-up initiatives citizens have the ability to adapt their environment to their own desires and ideas. It is a way to take power and create a city that is truly based on what the residents want, rather than it being opposed on them. <br/><br/>Right now there is a growing movement in the Netherlands where municipalities want to...master thesis 2022

Antony Joseph Valiaveetil, AJV (author)The aerospace industry and TU Delft have set stringent climate goals for themselves and with each passing year, these goals seem all the more implausible. While sustainability in the aerospace industry is envisioned as futuristic, circular, net-zero aircraft, the change rarely comes from the grassroots. Although these technological solutions are...master thesis 2022

Yang, Fudai (author)With the rapid growth of metropolitans, the world’s population has increased dramatically. The basis of human life is food, and people’s quality of life is highly dependent on adequate and safe food. The relationship and balance between cities and agriculture have been a long-standing discussion. At the same time, emergencies such as climate...master thesis 2022

van Buren, L. (author)Everything that we consider alive, be it plants, dogs, bacteria or humans, is composed of the same microscopic building blocks: cells. While cells between and even within these organisms can look and behave very differently, they all share the same key functionalities: they can grow, they can divide to proliferate, they can eat and metabolise to...doctoral thesis 2022

Chia, Francis (author)Auto sector corporations are increasingly disclosing climate targets given the need to transition, which presents risks. However, institutional investors have yet to develop knowledge in climate science to assess the risk concretely. Instead, they rely on qualitative measurement such as the Environmental, Social, Governance factors for climate...master thesis 2022

van Buren, L. (author), Koenderink, G.H. (author), Martinez Torres, C.E. (author)Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are cell-sized aqueous compartments enclosed by a phospholipid bilayer. Due to their cell-mimicking properties, GUVs have become a widespread experimental tool in synthetic biology to study membrane properties and cellular processes. In stark contrast to the experimental progress, quantitative analysis of GUV...journal article 2022

Baldauf, L. (author), van Buren, L. (author), Fanalista, F. (author), Koenderink, G.H. (author)One of the major challenges of bottom-up synthetic biology is rebuilding a minimal cell division machinery. From a reconstitution perspective, the animal cell division apparatus is mechanically the simplest and therefore attractive to rebuild. An actin-based ring produces contractile force to constrict the membrane. By contrast, microbes and...review 2022
