(author)Hard-to-reach (HTR) energy users encompass individuals who are physically difficult to reach, underserved, or challenging to engage and motivate in demand-side energy programmes. Given a mix of societal challenges (e.g. inequity, energy poverty, decarbonisation, the COVID-19 pandemic), HTR energy users are receiving increasing attention. However...journal article 2023

Shi, Z. (author), Su, Qingtian (author), Kavoura, Dr. Florentia (author), Veljkovic, M. (author)To investigate the fatigue performance and fatigue damage process of the Orthotropic Steel Deck (OSD) - Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) composite bridge deck, a two-span continuous full-scale specimen was designed and tested under cyclic loading. Test results showed that the fatigue cracks firstly initiated near the lower part of the weld...journal article 2023

van Heel, M.E. (author), van Oel, C.J. (author)The design of a new hospital is typically used as a catalyst for change, redesign, and the implementation of new work processes to improve health services. Perceived outcomes after relocation may be linked to the success of co-design and stakeholder engagement processes. Especially in striking the right balance between the building (bricks),...journal article 2023

Refsgaard, Jens Christian (author), Mai, Juliane (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author), Jain, Sharad K. (author), Stisen, Simon (author)Catchment modelling has undergone tremendous developments during the past decades. In the 1970s, the focus was on simulation of catchment runoff with process descriptions and data inputs being lumped to the catchment scale. Later developments included spatially distributed models allowing data inputs and hydrological processes to be simulated at...journal article 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

Ren, S. (author), Liu, X. (author), Erkens, S. (author)This study aims to propose critical fatigue indicators for evaluating the restoration effectiveness of various rejuvenators on the fatigue performance of aged bitumen. The influence factors of rejuvenator type/dosage and aging degree of bitumen are involved, and different fatigue parameters from linear viscoelastic (LVE), linear amplitude sweep ...journal article 2023

(author), de Geus-Oei, L.F. (author)Background: Approximately 20% of invasive ductal breast malignancies are human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive. These patients receive neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NAT) including HER2-targeting therapies. Up to 65% of patients achieve a pathological complete response (pCR). These patients might not have needed surgery....journal article 2023

Bahamonde-Birke, Francisco J. (author), Geigenmüller, Iris M. (author), Mouter, N. (author), van Lierop, Dea S. (author), Ettema, Dick F. (author)While several governmental and research efforts are set upon mobility-as-a-service (MaaS), most of them are driven by individual travel behavior and potential usage. However, considering only individuals’ preferences carries the risk of neglecting societal benefits going beyond individual travel behavior. This study addresses the valuation of...journal article 2023

Thoring, K.C. (author), Mueller, Roland M. (author), Lecuna, Alejandro (author), Badke-Schaub, P.G. (author)Practitioners design artifacts of different kinds. Researchers and practitioners both create methods for designing such artifacts. The question arises whether those methods are actually valid and useful. In this conceptual paper, we argue that there is a need for “method corroboration”-the deliberate and reflected use and possible validation...conference paper 2023

de Vries, R. (author), Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Steenbergen, Raphaël D.J.M. (author), Naaktgeboren, Marius (author)Because of the aging of infrastructure, methods are explored by which the reliability of existing bridges and viaducts can be assessed. In cases in which limited information of the structure is available or its condition is of concern, proof load testing may be used to demonstrate sufficient live load carrying capacity. Proof load tests in...journal article 2023

Abdelgawad, Ahmed A. (author), Comes, M. (author)Evaluation and testing are significant steps in developing any information system. More attention must be devoted to these steps if the system is to be used in high-risk contexts, such as the response to conflict disasters. Several testing methodologies are designed to guarantee that software fulfills technology requirements; others will assure...book chapter 2023
