Machielsen, Anne-Linn (author)With the growing threats of climate change, plans such as the European Green Deal (EGD) aim to mitigate climate change effects. However, the mining needed for the materials for renewable energy technologies could exacerbate threats to biodiversity and other ecosystems. Herein, nickel is one of the key materials required for a range of energy...master thesis 2022

Lachtara, Damian (author)The departure from coal in Poland results in the process of decommissioning the underground coal mines. These, based in the region of Upper Silesia, recently undergo a paradigm shift ‘from mining coal to mining water’, as the discharge of the groundwaters is crucial for underground security. <br/><br/>Rather than an obstacle, the discharged...master thesis 2022

Bonavita, Daniele (author)From 2018 to 2020, the city of Breda (NL) faced drought, with significant economic losses and water scarcity problems. The water board within which the city is located began to consider new possible water management practices, due to the unsustainability of the current ones. This study aims to investigate how a change of the current paradigm can...master thesis 2022

Smagała, Michał (author)This project explores the ways of thinking about hinterlands – territories of production supporting urbanisation processes. It analyses the area of West Macedonia, Greece, which today exists as an energetic landscape. Profit-oriented schemes of capitalism through subordination and functionalization has led to the marginalization of hinterlands...master thesis 2022

Doorn, Floris (author)In recent decades, a significant amount of the research into deep sea polymetallic nodule mining has been conducted on the collecting vehicle and the riser system accommodating transport from the seabed to the mining support vessel. <br/>The topside operation, however, is less commonly described in the literature. This part of the operation...master thesis 2022

Brouwers, Raymond (author)Structural health monitoring of buildings is useful for a few reasons. It provides information on the usage and cause of damage to a building. This can result in targeted maintenance or allow for potential improvements.<br/><br/>Traditionally, a building can be monitored by installing sensors during construction or maintenance work. These can be...master thesis 2022

Weinbach, Hannah (author)In the former lignite mine "Robertshall" near Hamburg damage to the surface was caused by the collapse of underground cavities originating from old mine workings of a lignite mine which had been in operation between 1920 and 1922. During the investigation of the subsurface by drilling it was noticed that the existing mine plans are incomplete....master thesis 2022

Kunneman, Youetta (author), Alves da Motta-Filho, Mauricy (author), van der Waa, J.S. (author)To support effective and successful projects, Service Design practitioners rely on insights that mainly build on qualitative research methodology. The literature on data science promises to help transform how design research is done, adding sophisticated quantitative analyses, complementing existing methods with the power of machines. Due to...journal article 2022

Lange, K.P.H. (author), Korevaar, G. (author), Oskam, I. F. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)This study furthers game-based learning for circular business model innovation (CBMI), the complex, dynamic process of designing business models according to the circular economy principles. The study explores how game-play in an educational setting affects learning progress on the level of business model elements and from the perspective of six...journal article 2022

Ali, W. (author), Enthoven, D.H.B. (author), Kirichek, Alex (author), Helmons, R.L.J. (author), Chassagne, C. (author)For green energy transition, the industry seeks alternative resources for nickel and cobalt, the main ingredients for energy storage devices and other applications. Polymetallic nodules lying at the abyssal plain are rich in these mineral resources, which leads to an increased interest in deep-sea mining (DSM) of polymetallic nodules. During the...conference paper 2022

Alhaddad, S.M.S. (author), de Jonge, Laurens (author), Boomsma, W.B.A. (author), Helmons, R.L.J. (author)Polymetallic nodules are potato-sized rock accretions that form on vast areas of the abyssal plains of the global ocean. These nodules are rich in commercially precious metals, such as nickel, cobalt and copper, making them a target for potential future deep-sea exploitation. Generally, polymetallic nodules are partially buried in the seabed...conference paper 2022

Helmons, R.L.J. (author)There is an expected increase in demand of critical raw materials, e.g. nickel and cobalt, mainly driven by the shift towards renewable energy solutions and the increase in production of electric vehicles. That trend has raised the interests for the mining of polymetallic nodules. The most extensive nodule depostions are found on the abyssal...conference paper 2022

(author)Renewable energy installations and energy storage solutions require a significant amount of critical raw materials such as nickel, cobalt and rare earth elements. The supply chains of these raw materials face many challenges, e.g., these materials are often found at lower grades on land. These complications motivate the search for new resources....conference paper 2022

Alhaddad, S.M.S. (author), Helmons, R.L.J. (author)Owing to the absence of direct contact between hydraulic polymetallic-nodule collectors and seabed, hydraulic collection is deemed, from an environmental point of view, the most preferred technique in nodule mining. To design a hydraulic collector that results in minimum sediment disturbance, it is crucial to develop a solid understanding of the...conference paper 2022

Smirnova, Alisa (author), Yang, J. (author), Yang, Dingqi (author), Cudre-Mauroux, Philippe (author)Noisy labels represent one of the key issues in supervised machine learning. Existing work for label noise reduction mainly takes a probabilistic approach that infers true labels from data distributions in low-level feature spaces. Such an approach is not only limited by its capability to learn high-quality data representations, but also by...journal article 2022

Herrera-Semenets, Vitali (author), Hernández-León, Raudel (author), van den Berg, Jan (author)We live in a world that is being driven by data. This leads to challenges of extracting and analyzing knowledge from large volumes of data. An example of such a challenge is intrusion detection. Intrusion detection data sets are characterized by huge volumes, which affects the learning of the classifier. So there is a need to reduce the size...journal article 2022
