Kong, I. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Bharosa, Nitesh (author)By utilizing the properties of quantum mechanics, quantum computers have the potential to factor a key pair of a large prime number and break some of the core cryptographic primitives that most information infrastructures depend on. This means that today's widely used cryptographic algorithms can soon become unsafe and need to be modified...journal article 2024

van Zoest, S.P. (author), Daamen, T.A. (author)Value capture (VC) is widely cited as a method for local authorities to provide urban public goods to their cities in the face of fiscal stress. Its application in practice however remains limited. In this article, we aim to explain the implementation process of VC as a strategy to fund public transportation infrastructure through case...journal article 2024

Untereiner, Erin (author), Toboso Chavero, S.T.C.H. (author), Fariñas, Ana Vázquez (author), Madrid-Lopez, Cristina (author), Villalba, Gara (author), Durany, Xavier Gabarrell (author)With the latest IPCC report, dramatic global climate action must be taken immediately to limit global warming to 1.5 °C, or face more frequent and extreme weather events with catastrophic implications. Cities must invest in climate resilience development; however, government policies are only effective if they are supported by the society in...journal article 2024

Gürsan, C. (author), de Gooyert, V. (author), de Bruijne, M.L.C. (author), Raaijmakers, J. (author)District heating systems are considered a feasible heating alternative to replace natural gas to mitigate emissions in cities. However, urban transitions are very complex because energy systems often operate in densely populated areas, which gives rise to all kinds of interdependencies in cities. These interdependencies can result in...journal article 2024

ter Hofstede, R. (author), Witte, Sterre (author), Kamermans, Pauline (author), van Koningsveld, M. (author), Tonk, Linda (author)The native European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) is an ecosystem engineer providing important ecosystem services, but became nearly extinct from the North Sea due to diseases and overfishing. There's a growing interest to restore these oyster reefs for their valuable contribution in re-establishing a rich ecosystem in the North Sea. In order...journal article 2024

Tsalidis, G.A. (author), Kokubo Roche, A.M.B. (author), Randazzo, Serena (author), Posada Duque, J.A. (author)The production of capital goods is often ignored in the life cycle inventory phase of life cycle assessment studies. In this study, we investigated whether capital goods production, i.e., manufacturing of capital equipment and construction of infrastructure, and operation affect the results of the social life cycle assessment (S-LCA), using a...journal article 2024

Lai, Li (author), Dong, You (author), Andriotis, C. (author), Wang, Aijun (author), Lei, Xiaoming (author)Effective transportation network management systems should consider safety and sustainability objectives. Existing research on large-scale transportation network management often employs the assumption that bridges can be considered individually under these objectives. However, this simplification misses accurate system-level representations,...journal article 2024
