Wang, Xia (author), Yuan, Jiachen (author), You, K. (author), Ma, Xianrui (author), Li, Zhaoji (author)The International Energy Agency (IEA) emphasizes that using real building energy use data (RBEUD) to reflect the actual condition of buildings and inform policy-making is the most effective way to reduce buildings’ carbon emissions. However, based on IEA’s evaluation, regional and national building stock data are limited and lacking. Especially...journal article 2023

Valiya Valappil, S. (author), Aragon, A.M. (author), Goosen, J.F.L. (author)Phononic crystal band gaps (BGs), which are realized by Bragg scattering, have a central frequency and width related to the unit cell's size and the impedance mismatch between material phases. BG tuning has generally been performed by either trial and error or by computational tools such as topology optimization. In either case, understanding...journal article 2023

Kementzetzidis, Evangelos (author), Pisano, F. (author), Elkadi, A.S.K. (author), Tsouvalas, A. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)Gentle Driving of Piles (GDP) is a new technology for the vibratory installation of tubular (mono)piles. Its founding principle is that both efficient installation and low noise emission can be achieved by applying to the pile a combination of axial and torsional vibrations. Preliminary development and demonstration of the proposed technology...journal article 2023

Sevenster, A.L.A. (author), Farah, H. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Zgonnikov, A. (author)Overtaking on two-lane roads can lead to increased collision risks due to drivers' errors in evaluating whether or not to accept the gap to the vehicle in the opposite lane. Understanding these gap acceptance decisions can help mitigate the risks associated with overtaking. Previous research on overtaking has focused on the factors...journal article 2023

van den Boom, S.J. (author), Abedi, Reza (author), van Keulen, A. (author), Aragon, A.M. (author)Phononic crystals can be designed to show band gaps—ranges of frequencies whose propagation is strongly attenuated in the material. In essence, their working principle is based on destructive interference of waves reflecting from the periodic arrangement of material interfaces (i.e., Bragg scattering). Consequently, capturing accurately the...journal article 2023

Karimi, Hamed (author), Iran-Pour, Siavash (author), Amiri Simkooei, A. (author), Babadi, Masoud (author)Gravity recovery and climate experiment (GRACE) and GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO) are Earth's gravity satellite missions with hydrological monitoring applications. However, caused by measuring instrumental problems, there are several temporal missing values in the dataset of the two missions where a long gap between the mission dataset also...journal article 2023

Gao, Zhan (author), Isufi, E. (author)Stochastic graph neural networks (SGNNs) are information processing architectures that learn representations from data over random graphs. SGNNs are trained with respect to the expected performance, which comes with no guarantee about deviations of particular output realizations around the optimal expectation. To overcome this issue, we propose...journal article 2023

Schumann, J.F. (author), Kober, J. (author), Zgonnikov, A. (author)Autonomous vehicles currently suffer from a time-inefficient driving style caused by uncertainty about human behavior in traffic interactions. Accurate and reliable prediction models enabling more efficient trajectory planning could make autonomous vehicles more assertive in such interactions. However, the evaluation of such models is...journal article 2023

Croon, T.M. (author), Hoekstra, J.S.C.M. (author), Elsinga, M.G. (author), Dalla Longa, F. (author), Mulder, Peter (author)Recent energy price spikes have led to increased energy poverty among low-income households living in inefficient homes. Accurate statistics on energy poverty help inform resource allocation and better target relief schemes and retrofit funds. Existing indicators are predominantly defined in terms of a headcount ratio – the share of population...journal article 2023

Most users prefer to use gap-filled remote sensing products with time series reconstruction (TSR) algorithms. Applying currently available implementations of TSR to large-volume...journal article 2023

Neufeld, Ariel (author), Papapantoleon, A. (author), Xiang, Qikun (author)We consider derivatives written on multiple underlyings in a one-period financial market, and we are interested in the computation of model-free upper and lower bounds for their arbitrage-free prices. We work in a completely realistic setting, in that we only assume the knowledge of traded prices for other single- and multi-asset derivatives...journal article 2023

Stoopman, Sam (author)What exactly causes the emergence of the attitude-behaviour gap, and to what extent, is not fully understood. Previous academic research has shown that many barriers to adoption remain, and that difficulty lies in the heterogeneity of consumers. Through the use of a simulation model this thesis explores the emergence of the attitude-behaviour...master thesis 2022

Oei, Laurens (author)In order for the Netherlands to reach CO2 neutrality by 2050, large investments in zero emission technologies are needed. These investments would comprise out of renewable energy generation, higher energy efficiency alternatives and electrification of end uses. Although climate mitigation has become an ever growing societal...master thesis 2022

Sevenster, Annemartijne (author)Overtaking on two-lane roads can cause dangerous situations, due to drivers’ errors during the gap acceptance decision. Understanding gap acceptance decisions can help mitigate these situations. Response time (i.e. the time it takes the driver to evaluate the gap and make a decision) has been shown to provide valuable insights into the cognitive...master thesis 2022

van den Brom, P.I. (author), Smets, S.J. (author), Itard, L.C.M. (author)Many researchers have indicated the energy performance gap (difference between actual and predicted energy used in buildings), not only on an individual building level, but also on a building stock level. For policy makers it is important that predictions are correct on an building stock level to make them a useful tool to predict the effect of...conference paper 2022
