Khabbazan, S. (author)Agriculture plays a critical role in the economy and environment worldwide, and the provision of real-time, reliable information on large-scale agricultural activity is essential for precision agriculture and global economic prosperity. In this context, remote sensing, especially through Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), can play an important role...doctoral thesis 2024

van Droffelaar, I.S. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Mense, Jelte P. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Simulation–optimization models are well-suited for real-time decision-support to the control room for search and interception of fugitives by Police on a road network, due to their ability to encode complex behavior while still optimizing the interception. The typical simulation–optimization configuration is simulation model optimization,...journal article 2024

(author), Solano, Juan Carlos (author), Arias-Rodríguez, Oscar (author)Seasonal wetlands in the tropics are important habitats for local and migratory bird species. In the northwestern Pacific of Costa Rica, Palo Verde National Park has one of the most important seasonal wetlands of Central America.

Khabbazan, S. (author), Steele-Dunne, S.C. (author), Vermunt, P.C. (author), Judge, J. (author), Vreugdenhil, M. (author), Gao, G. (author)The presence of surface water on the canopy affects radar backscatter. However, its influence on the relationship between radar backscatter and crop biophysical parameters has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to quantify the influence of surface canopy water (SCW) on the relationship between L-band radar backscatter and...journal article 2022

Vermunt, P.C. (author), Steele-Dunne, S.C. (author), Khabbazan, S. (author), Kumar, V. (author), Judge, Jasmeet (author)For a good interpretation of radar backscatter sensitivity to vegetation water dynamics, we need to know which parts of the vegetation layer control that backscatter. However, backscatter sensitivity to different depths in the canopy is poorly understood. This is partly caused by a lack of observational data to describe the vertical moisture...journal article 2022

Zhang, Yingyu (author), Yang, Juan (author), van Haaften, M.A. (author), Li, Linyi (author), Lu, Shenglian (author), Wen, Weiliang (author), Zheng, Xiuguo (author), Pan, Jian (author), Qian, Tingting (author)Plant photosynthesis and biomass production are associated with the amount of intercepted light, especially the light distribution inside the canopy. Three virtual canopies (n = 80, 3.25 plants/m2) were constructed based on average leaf size of the digitized plant structures: ‘small leaf’ (98.1 cm2), ‘medium leaf’ (163.0 cm2) and ‘big leaf’ (241...journal article 2022

Schouten, David (author)One of the preferred features of plastic is its high durability. This merit is its main disadvantage in the natural environment. When poorly disposed of, plastic waste can enter rivers from surface waters and subsequently end up in the ocean. Here, plastic spreads out over the entire ocean and ultimately ends in ocean gyres....master thesis 2021

de Haas, M.C. (author), Kroesen, M. (author), Chorus, C.G. (author), Hoogendoorn-Lanser, S. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)In recent years, the e-bike has become increasingly popular in many European countries. With higher speeds and less effort needed, the e-bike is a promising mode of transport to many, and it is considered a good alternative for certain car trips by policy-makers and planners. A major limitation of many studies that investigate such...journal article 2021

de Haas, M.C. (author), Kroesen, M. (author), Chorus, C.G. (author), Hoogendoorn-Lanser, S. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Introduction: It has been estimated that physical inactivity accounts for roughly 10% of premature mortality globally in any given year. Active travel (walking and cycling) has been promoted as an effective means to stimulate physical activity. However, many of the available studies on the relation between active travel and health are based...journal article 2021

(author), Grasso, Domenico (author)Nature-based solutions for water-resource challenges require advances in the science of ecohydrology. Current understanding is limited by a shortage of observations and theories that can further our capability to synthesize complex processes across scales ranging from submillimetres to tens of kilometres.

Kroesen, M. (author), De Vos, Jonas (author)Introduction: Active travel (walking and cycling) is increasingly being recognised as a potentially effective means of increasing physical activity levels and thereby contribute to physical and mental health. To date, however, much of the empirical evidence related to the health benefits of active travel is based on cross-sectional data. As...journal article 2020

Offerman, Rochus (author)In the last decade, Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) activity steadily enlarged, where global deal making continues to rise. While the M&A activity is increasing, it is the technology sector with the fastest growing number of transitions. Even though M&A are widely used for financial research purposes, there is plenty yet to be...master thesis 2019

Kaelani, Marc (author)In the Netherlands, only 55% of the Dutch population meets the norm of 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week. To increase overall physical activity, the Dutch government wants to stimulate active travel. Active travel has two important benefits: the accessibility effect and the health effect. Yet, the effect of active travel on the...master thesis 2018

Raijmakers, L.H.J. (author)Li-ion batteries have drawn considerable attention in the last decades due to the fact that these devices have a relative high energy density, long cycle life and low self-discharge rate. However, challenges are met in monitoring and controlling the states of a Li-ion battery, such as State of Charge, State of Health and temperature. In this...doctoral thesis 2018

(author)Wildfires are a growing concern in the Mediterranean area. Prescribed burning (PB) is often used to reduce fire risk, through fine fuel reduction. However, the monitoring of PB effects on ecosystem processes is mandatory before its spread. This study aims to assess hydrological effects of PB on the topsoil by controlled laboratory experiments...journal article 2018

Mianabadi, A. (author), Coenders-Gerrits, Miriam (author), Shirazi, P. (author), Ghahraman, B. (author), Alizadeh, Amin (author)Evaporation is a very important flux in the hydrological cycle and links the water and energy balance of a catchment. The Budyko framework is often used to provide a first order estimate of evaporation, since it is a simple model where only rainfall and potential evaporation is required as input. Many researchers have tried to improve the Budyko...journal article 2017
