Boskeljon-Horst, Leonie (author), J. de Boer, Robert (author), Sillem, S. (author), Dekker, Sidney W. A. (author)In this study we identify the differences in goal realisation when applying two conflicting paradigms regarding rule perception and management. We gathered more than 30 scenarios where goal conflicts were apparent in a military operational unit. We found that operators repetitively utilized certain routines in executing their tasks in an effort...journal article 2022

de Vries, Ismay (author)This thesis investigates different ways in which the productivity of a one-way bottling and packaging production line can be increased. This is done by comparing different configurations regarding machine capacities, machine reliability and buffer capacities with each other. This is done with both the use of a generic model and a case study. The...master thesis 2020

Basold, Henning (author), Hansen, H.H. (author)We define notions of well-definedness and observational equivalence for programs of mixed inductive and coinductive types. These notions are defined by means of tests formulas which combine structural congruence for inductive types and modal logic for coinductive types. Tests also correspond to certain evaluation contexts. We define a program...journal article 2019

Vrijhoef, R. (author)Productivity in construction is relatively low compared to other industries. This is<br/>particularly true for labour productivity. Problems that contribute to low labour<br/>productivity are often related to unorganised workspace, and inefficient organisation of work, materials and equipment. In terms of time use, site workers spend time on...conference paper 2019

Gezgin, Kagan (author)The Dutch government has issued a legislation that follows the Paris Agreement of 2016. This legislation means that all office buildings in 2023 must have minimum energy label C while the ambition in 2030 is to have energy label A and in 2050 zero energy buildings. It is estimated that currently more than half of the office buildings in the...master thesis 2018

Ratering Arntz, Lexy (author)More than half of Vietnam's national rice production is produced in the Mekong Delta. Many hectares of rice were damaged due to extensive salinity intrusion during the dry season of 2016. The impact of salinity intrusion on rice production is studied by (1) mapping the impact using remote sensing data (MODIS NDVI time-series) and (2)...master thesis 2018

Mangone, G. (author)The design of office buildings can substantially improve the building, social, and ecological performance of office building projects. However, existing research on improving the performance of work environments has primarily focused on identifying and evaluating methods to make work environments less bad, rather than focusing on how to develop...doctoral thesis 2015

Pramudita, D.A. (author)Researchers have observed that the growth of hourly compensation in the U.S. has lagged behind the labour productivity growth since 1970 (Fleck, Glaser, & Sprague, 2011). The disparity between productivity and compensation, which is known as the productivity-compensation gap (Mishel & Gee, 2011), suggests that workers do not benefit directly...master thesis 2015

Vesters, J.B. (author)Up to now the well performance department within Total Exploration and Production Netherlands (TEPNL) base the assessment of well inflow performance on experiences in the field. No tools are available to systematically monitor and assess the reservoir-completion-tubing performance in the longer term (years). This makes that normal production...master thesis 2013

Veskimägi, V. (author)The use of wells equipped with inflow control valves has steadily increased over the past decade. Most of these wells are used to control the inflow from separate reservoirs or separate reservoir zones. This solution is particularly attractive for high-rate horizontal wells in thin oil rim reservoirs. Through the smart well technology, early gas...master thesis 2013
