Kara, A. (author), van Oosterom, P.J.M. (author), Kathmann, Ruud (author), Lemmen, Christiaan (author)The timely and effective dissemination of property values is an essential part of a transparent and efficient property valuation system. Over the last decade, web-based data-sharing systems have been increasingly used for the dissemination of assessed property values. 3D valuation units (e.g., condominium) and groups (aggregation of valuation...journal article 2023

Breman, Carlotta (author), Storm, S.T.H. (author)Sharp increases in systemically important crude oil prices have been a major cause of the recent surge in the inflation rate in the U.S. This paper investigates the extent to which the increase in oil prices can be attributed to excessive speculation in the oil futures market. Our analysis suggests that excessive speculation in the crude oil...journal article 2023

Predari, Maria (author), Berner, Lukas (author), Kooij, Robert (author), Meyerhenke, Henning (author)The total effective resistance, also called the Kirchhoff index, provides a robustness measure for a graph G. We consider two optimization problems of adding k new edges to G such that the resulting graph has minimal total effective resistance (i.e., is most robust)—one where the new edges can be anywhere in the graph and one where the new...journal article 2023

You, Kairui (author), Yu, Yanhui (author), Cai, Weiguang (author), Liu, Zhengxuan (author)The CO<sub>2</sub> emission mitigation of the commercial and public building sector (P&C) is critical for achieving China's carbon peak and carbon neutrality. Analyzing changes in CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and their driving factors from temporal and spatial perspective provides insights for developing equitable and effective...journal article 2023

Fečkan, Michal (author), Marynets, K. (author), Wang, J. (author)We study a boundary value problem for a Caputo-type fractional differential equation subjected to periodic boundary conditions. For an auxiliary problem with the simplified right-hand side, we explicitly construct its unique solution. In addition, based on the theory of the topological index, we prove existence of at least one solution to the...journal article 2023

Schouhamer Immink, Kees A. (author), Weber, J.H. (author)We present and analyze a new construction of bipolar balanced codes where each codeword contains equally many -1's and +1's. The new code is minimally modified as the number of symbol changes made to the source word for translating it into a balanced codeword is as small as possible. The balanced codes feature low redundancy and time...journal article 2023

van der Zwaag, Marco (author), Wang, T. (author), Bakker, H.L.M. (author), van Nederveen, G.A. (author), Schuurman, A.C.B. (author), Bosma, Douwe (author)Facing circular transition challenges, building circularity should be evaluated in the early design phase to reduce the risks of circular and environmental performance problems found in later project phases. However, due to the current design workflow, such practice is hindered because there is not enough information to evaluate building...journal article 2023

Pavilons, David (author)The most violent breaking waves cause the largest platform forces at sea, however it is unknown which wave in a sea state leads to these forces if run-up is included. Offshore inspection platforms give access to wind turbine monopiles. They are positioned above mean sea level. Wave interaction with monopiles leading to runup causes vertical...master thesis 2022

Almeida Pignatelli de Avillez, Miguel (author)Quasi-satellite orbits (QSOs) are orbits around the smaller primary in three-body systems. The MMX mission (developed by JAXA, to be launched in 2024) will use QSOs to orbit Phobos, before landing on its surface. This work studies the feasibility of using the invariant manifolds of three-dimensional QSOs for designing landing trajectories, using...master thesis 2022

van der Zwaag, Marco (author)The transition to a circular economy requires reducing waste and rework in construction projects. Thereby, the evaluation of building circularity in the early design phase is of great importance. However, due to the current design workflow, such practice is hindered because there is not enough information to evaluate building circularity in...master thesis 2022

Geijsen, Kamron (author)This paper presents a preliminary study of the set of trade-offs of UC-Berkley’s RISC-V instruction set architecture experiences, due to its lack of the Scaled Index addressing mode. The strong majority of the popular Instruction Sets such as x86, ARM, MIPS and PowerPC include relatively complex ways to calculate memory addresses (addressing...bachelor thesis 2022

van Noord, Zomer (author)This thesis considers solutions to the discrete Nagumo equation u˙ n = d(un−1 − 2un + un+1) + f(un), n ∈ Z. For sufficiently large d, the solutions are of the form un(t) = U(n + ct) with c > 0. This thesis contains the proof of existence of traveling wave solutions of the discrete Nagumo equations and originates from...bachelor thesis 2022

Dirks, Rutger (author)For an Autonomous Vehicle (AV) to traverse safely in traffic, It is vital it can anticipate the behavior of surrounding traffic participants using motion prediction. Current motion prediction approaches can be categorized into object-centered and object-agnostic methods and are primarily based on deep learning. The former relies on a human...master thesis 2022

Vos, Roel (author)As a response to the dry summer of 2018, Witteveen+Bos developed a model for water demand prediction to improve insight into water demands. Validation by water board "Hunze en Aas" has revealed the predictive power of the irrigation model to be very limited. For this thesis project, we developed a methodology for the detection of irrigation of...master thesis 2022

Beck, Anthony (author)The Land Administration Domain Model (LADM (ISO TC/211, 2012)) is a conceptual model which supports the modelling of social relations with land articulated through rights. There are three principal concepts within LADM: the party (the who) that has a rights relationship (the what) with a plot of land (the where). As an abstraction the party...conference paper 2022

Roseboom, Jeroen (author)In my thesis I researched the potential paths and pitfalls of the newly created ``Taillardat index''.<br/>This index uses the tail characteristics of several CRPS-based distributions to rank forecasters on how well they forecast, with a slight emphasis on extreme events.<br/>From my research I concluded that the ``Taillardat Index'' in its...master thesis 2022

Ko, N.T. (author)Freshwater is a finite resource. It offers goods and services of fundamental importance for the development of human societies. In the developing countries, water-related infrastructure developed rapidly, which will bring prosperity to an impoverished country but also risks compromising the sustainability of the environment. The scarcity of...doctoral thesis 2022

Maffei, C. (author)Forest fires are a major ecosystem disturbance at global scale, put pressure on agencies in charge of citizens and infrastructure security and cause unvaluable human losses. Fires are controlled by multiple static and dynamic drivers related to topography, land cover, climate, weather, and anthropic activity. Among these, weather is an active...doctoral thesis 2022

Steinberg, M.A. (author), Feld, S. (author), Almudever, Carmen G. (author), Marthaler, Michael (author), Reiner, Jan Michael (author)The qubit-mapping problem aims to assign and route qubits of a quantum circuit onto an noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) device in an optimized fashion, with respect to some cost function. Finding an optimal solution to this problem is known to scale exponentially in computational complexity; as such, it is imperative to investigate...journal article 2022
