Mironov, Stas (author)A network, is defined as a collection of nodes interconnected by links. When this topology changes through time, we call it a temporal network. A specific class of networks, with only two types of nodes with no connections between one kind, is the bipartite network. An example is a telecommunications network, where nodes represent...master thesis 2024

Stikkers, Anastasia (author)This thesis provides knowledge on factors affecting the representativeness of wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) for monitoring the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The application of WBE to monitor health parameters has become essential due to the COVID-19 outbreak in March 2020. WBE is a well-known method to track the SARS-CoV-2 virus in wastewater and is...master thesis 2022

Brimaire, Jil (author)The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management is committed to enhancing the accessibility and sustainability of the Dutch mobility system. Working from home (WFH) has been discussed as a policy lever to decrease commute travel and, thereby, congestion for decades. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this discussion regained momentum. WFH...master thesis 2022

Bergen, Willemijn (author)The spread of Covid-19 is modelled in this Bachelor thesis. This is done using two compartmental epidemiological models: the SIR-model and SIRS-model. These models divide the population into three groups, namely Susceptible, Infected and Recovered. Artificial data is generated based on the stochastic version of the models. The models are applied...bachelor thesis 2022

van Dalen, Maurizio (author)COVID-19 had (and still has) a huge impact on travel behaviour. Most research on the effects of COVID-19 on travel behaviour is based on daily travel behaviour. Long-distance travel is most of the time not included. Therefore, this paper studies the impact of perceived COVID-19 risk on mode-choice for long-distance travel in Europe. This paper...master thesis 2022

Anton, Matei (author)During a viral infection, we expel remnants of the virus. This makes it possible to conduct wastewater analysis which aid in the efforts to track the evolution of the current Covid-19 pandemic. It has been shown that by repurposing the kallisto algorithm, the abundance of SARS-CoV-2 variants in wastewater samples can be estimated. Since this is...bachelor thesis 2022
