Hamida, A.B. (author), Eijkelenboom, A.M. (author), Bluyssen, P.M. (author)Understanding students' preferences of their study place, in particular acoustical and psychosocial preferences, is important to students' health and comfort. This study aimed to identify clusters of students with similar acoustical and psychosocial preferences, and to identify reasons for certain preferences of students in each cluster. A mixed...journal article 2024

van der Vegt, N. (author), Klerk, W.J. (author), Peters, D.J. (author), van Gent, M.R.A. (author), Hofland, Bas (author)Initial damage, caused by previous wave loading or other events, might affect the hydraulic stability of pattern-placed revetments. Three common types of damage are considered in this study. The effect of this assumed initial damage on the hydraulic stability and failure probability of revetments is quantified using a FEM model. This model is...journal article 2024

Hamida, A.B. (author), Eijkelenboom, A.M. (author), Bluyssen, P.M. (author)Research has shown that students differ in their preferences of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and psychosocial aspects of their study places. Since previous studies have mainly focused on identifying these preferences rather than investigating the different profiles of students, this study aimed at profiling students based on their IEQ and...journal article 2023

Zaffar, M. (author), Nan, L. (author), Kooij, J.F.P. (author)Visual place recognition (VPR) is an image-based localization method that estimates the camera location of a query image by retrieving the most similar reference image from a map of geo-tagged reference images. In this work, we look into two fundamental bottlenecks for its localization accuracy: 1) reference map sparseness and 2) viewpoint...journal article 2023

Rennen, Philipp (author), Gantner, Stefan (author), Dielemans, Gido (author), Bleker, Lazlo (author), Christidi, N. (author), Dörrie, Robin (author), Hojjat, Majid (author), Mai, Inka (author), Popescu, M.A. (author)The research project presented here aims to develop a design-informed manufacturing process for complex concrete shell structures in additive manufacturing and thus overcome limitations of traditional construction methods such as formwork- and labor intensity. To achieve this, an effort was made to merge the two technologies of CNC knitted...journal article 2023

Herdt, T. (author), Muñoz Sanz, V. (author)This article analyzes the acceptance of climate policy measures in the Metropolitan Region of Amsterdam to understand how policy and planning interrelate with private and public interests. While legitimizing climate policy and measures, values can also cause conflict when operationalized locally. By analyzing value conflicts in public discourse,...journal article 2023

Scheder-Bieschin, Lotte (author), Bodea, Serban (author), Popescu, M.A. (author), Van Mele, Tom (author), Block, Philippe (author)This paper presents a formwork system consisting of a bending-active gridshell that simultaneously serves as falsework and integrated reinforcement for realising a ribbed funicular concrete skeleton shell. Encased by a knitted textile shuttering, the formwork system was demonstrated through KnitNervi, an architectural-scale, funnel-shaped...journal article 2023

Tomita, Mihnea Alexandru (author), Zaffar, M. (author), Ferrarini, Bruno (author), Milford, Michael J. (author), McDonald-Maier, Klaus (author), Ehsan, Shoaib (author)Visual Place Recognition (VPR) is the ability to correctly recall a previously visited place using visual information under environmental, viewpoint and appearance changes. An emerging trend in VPR is the use of sequence-based filtering methods on top of single-frame-based place matching techniques for route-based navigation. The combination...journal article 2022

Qian, QK (author), Ho, Winky K.O. (author), Jayantha, Wadu Mesthrige (author), Chan, Edwin H.W. (author)The rapidly growing aging population is a global phenomenon imposing societal challenges on many cities. ‘Aging-in-place’ as a popular concept accommodates both the elderly desire to age in a familiar environment and adaptive old home modifications for aging. However, this concept has not been explored in-depth systematically in the urban...journal article 2022

Psyllidis, A. (author), Gao, Song (author), Hu, Yingjie (author), Kim, Eun-Kyeong (author), McKenzie, Grant (author), Purves, Ross (author), Yuan, May (author), Andris, Clio (author)In this commentary, we describe the current state of the art of points of interest (POIs) as digital, spatial datasets, both in terms of their quality and affordings, and how they are used across research domains. We argue that good spatial coverage and high-quality POI features — especially POI category and temporality information — are key for...journal article 2022

Frick, Maximilian (author), Kranz, Stefan (author), Norden, Ben (author), Bruhn, D.F. (author), Fuchs, Sven (author)Mesozoic sandstone aquifers in the North German Basin offer significant potential to provide green and sustainable geothermal heat as well as large‐scale storage of heat or chill. The determination of geothermal and subsurface heat storage potentials is still afflicted with obstacles due to sparse and partly uncertain subsurface data....journal article 2022

Slingerland, G. (author), Murray, Maria (author), Lukosch, Stephan (author), McCarthy, John (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)COVID-19 has urged researchers to explore new options for distributed participatory design, as physical meetings and workshops became unfeasible. This situation posed new challenges but also opportunities, in particular with respect to engagement and inclusion. This paper focuses on distributed PD with Irish teenagers to support place-making...journal article 2022

Daniilidis, Alexandros (author), Nick, H.M. (author), Bruhn, D.F. (author)Direct Use Geothermal Systems (DUGS) are increasing their installed capacity worldwide and denser developments with multiple doublets are becoming more common. Interference between doublets therefore becomes an additional concern to subsurface uncertainties. Faults can be either barriers or conduits to flow and can affect the fluid pathways...journal article 2021

(author), Ehsan, Shoaib (author)Visual Place Recognition (VPR) is the ability to correctly recall a previously visited place under changing viewpoints and appearances. A large number of handcrafted and deep-learning-based VPR techniques exist, where the former suffer from appearance changes and the latter have significant computational needs. In this paper, we present a new...journal article 2021
