Russel, Erwin (author)Cloud gaming is a new paradigm that allows users to play games in the cloud and stream them to a thin client. While there is little research about cloud gaming, containerization technologies such as Docker could provide a virtualization alternative to Virtual Machines, as these suffer from overhead and GPU pass-through constraints. With Rapture,...master thesis 2022

van Klooster, Sjors (author)Over the years, the Anthropocentric societies are to blame for the problematic urban environments they have created. Within the current paradigm, our destructive behavior towards the natural environment has caused a major decline in biodiversity. To restore the ecology in our contemporary urban environment, we require a turning strategy. This is...master thesis 2022

Moesker, Rosalie (author)The Erasmus Medical Center (EMC) campus is working on an intensification of functions for the new Masterplan of 2050. Since densification is only possible vertically due to the enclosed location, there is an increase of 5000 employees and only 650 physical parking spaces, leading to lessened accessibility by car. Simultaneously, vehicles are...master thesis 2022

Lokhorst, Femke (author)'A Wakening' entails a coming home to our innate essence of what it means to be human and living as part of this interconnected web of life. Through being present with the now, we can envision and work towards desired, collective, and whole futures for all on this earth. 'A Wakening' should be patient. For me, the first step in waking up is to...master thesis 2022

Raspoort, Anne (author)Because of human interventions in our seas, like commercial (over)fishing and the introduction of diseases, the presence and biodiversity of natural reefs is declining severely. Reefs provide a habitat for a variety of marine species and are of great value to marine ecosystems. Therefore, it is of importance to recover affected reefs. <br/><br/...master thesis 2022

(author), van Wesenbeeck, B (author)Global change processes such as sea level rise and the increasing frequency of severe storms threaten many coastlines around the world and trigger the need for interventions to make these often densely-populated areas safer. Mangroves could be implemented in Nature-Based Flood Defense, provided that we know how to conserve and restore these...journal article 2022

Liu, S. (author), Zhou, Yangxiao (author), Luo, Weijia (author), Wang, Feiran (author), McClain, M.E. (author), Wang, Xu sheng (author)Intensive groundwater exploitation has depleted groundwater storage and led to a series of geo-environmental problems in Beijing Plain, China. Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) has been endorsed to mitigate the groundwater storage depletion and achieve groundwater sustainability. A pilot MAR has been tested in the Chaobai River catchment since...journal article 2022

Sun, Hao (author), Yang, M. (author), Wang, Haiqing (author)Reliability-based and risk-based methods for directing maintenance activities play a critical role in ensuring system safety and reducing unnecessary downtime. Those methods focus on preventive maintenance to avoid component failures and are applicable before unexpected disruptions occur. However, when disruptions are unavoidable, more attention...journal article 2022

Neri, Elisabetta (author), Alfeld, M.W.E.M. (author), Nasr, Nesrine (author), de Viguerie, Laurence (author), Walter, Philippe (author)If ancient written sources and the visual analysis of polychromies have recently revealed the complexity of the technique of painting on statues and their frequent restoration, the non-invasive punctual chemical analyses carried out do not allow one to access the chemical composition of the different paint layers. This paper presents the...journal article 2022

Owusu, A.G. (author), Mul, Marloes (author), van der Zaag, P. (author), Slinger, J (author)The provision of flows for the environment, e-flows, is a means to restore the benefits of naturally flowing rivers. Despite the development of numerous methodologies to determine e-flows and optimize dam releases, actual implementation is relatively limited. Examples of successful e-flows implementation through dam reoperation exist in...journal article 2022

Fu, J. (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Natural disasters pose a tremendous risk to the reliability of distribution networks. In this paper, a novel real-time UAV routing strategy for coordination between monitoring and inspection for post-disaster restoration in distribution networks is proposed. With our proposed real-time UAV routing strategy, damages can be inspected by UAVs...journal article 2022

ter Hofstede, R. (author), Driessen, F. M.F. (author), Elzinga, P. J. (author), van Koningsveld, M. (author), Schutter, M. (author)The North Sea was once abundantly covered with hard substrates such as oyster beds, coarse peat banks and glacial erratics, providing habitat to a rich community of marine species. Most of these habitats were destroyed by bottom-trawl fisheries over the past century, and today, the seabed hosts a relatively poor species community. Emerging...journal article 2022
