Klerk, Liselotte (author)The deficit of suitable housing in the Netherlands is increasing, while the vacancy rate of office buildings and other non-residential buildings is high. <br/>Transforming these vacant buildings is a sustainable and smart method to meet the housing demand. In order to transform buildings properly, their values need to be taken into account. In...master thesis 2023

Veraart, Siebren (author)According to International Energy Agency (IEA), the demand for high value chemicals (HVC) will increase by 60% to a total of 400 Mt/year by 2050, leading to an increase of 30% in direct CO2 emissions. However, the Paris agreement forces the sector to reduce its emissions by 90-100% in 2050 compared to 1990. This induces the need for a more...master thesis 2023

Ofe, H.A. (author), de Reuver, G.A. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Nederstigt, Bouke (author)Managers increasingly seek ways to explore insights from data for business improvements and innovation. Data Analytics (DA) platforms hold promise for businesses, especially small businesses that cannot afford tailor-made proprietary analytics services. DA platforms offer generic analytics features to a pool of businesses, saving costs and...conference paper 2023

van der Maden, W.L.A. (author), Lomas, J.D. (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author)Introduction: Designing artificial intelligence (AI) to support health and wellbeing is an important and broad challenge for technologists, designers, and policymakers. Drawing upon theories of AI and cybernetics, this article offers a design framework for designing intelligent systems to optimize human wellbeing. We focus on the production...journal article 2023

Veluwenkamp, H.M. (author), van den Hoven, M.J. (author)Politicians and engineers are increasingly realizing that values are important in the development of technological artefacts. What is often overlooked is that different conceptualizations of these abstract values lead to different design-requirements. For example, designing social media platforms for deliberative democracy sets us up for...journal article 2023

Mutlu, A. (author), Roy, Debraj (author), Filatova, T. (author)Nature-based solutions (NbS) are a cornerstone of climate change adaptation worldwide. Yet, evidence on their economic benefits is scarce, especially since the provided environmental amenities usually spatially correlate with climate-induced hazards, effects of which NbS aim to curb. This lack of empirical evidence creates obscurity regarding...journal article 2023

Hernández, J.I. (author), van Cranenburgh, S. (author), Chorus, C.G. (author), Mouter, N. (author)We propose three procedures based on association rules (AR) learning and random forests (RF) to support the specification of a portfolio choice model applied in data from complex choice experiment data, specifically a Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE) choice experiment. In a PVE choice experiment, respondents choose a combination of...journal article 2023

Khan, Umara (author), Zevenhoven, Ron (author), Stougie, L. (author), Tveit, Tor Martin (author)Heat pumps (HPs) which use low temperature (waste) heat and renewable energy sources to provide high temperature heat are widely regarded as a critical technology for reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the industrial sector. The HighLift technology considered here can provide high temperature output heat up to around 200 °C. This article...journal article 2023

Fečkan, Michal (author), Marynets, K. (author), Wang, J. (author)We study a boundary value problem for a Caputo-type fractional differential equation subjected to periodic boundary conditions. For an auxiliary problem with the simplified right-hand side, we explicitly construct its unique solution. In addition, based on the theory of the topological index, we prove existence of at least one solution to the...journal article 2023

Liu, Chi (author), Gonçalves, Joana (author), Quist, W.J. (author)This paper explores the opportunities for locals’ participation as a tool for the sustainable redevelopment of vacant heritage. It focuses on the Politiebureau Groningen Centrum (The Netherlands) as a case study to apply a novel approach to engage community participation in architectural redesign. It fills the academic gap on participation in...journal article 2023

Shaharudin, Ashraf (author), van Loenen, B. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)Open data has many potential benefits including stimulating innovation, enhancing accountability and transparency, and improving the reproducibility and dissemination of research (Janssen et al., 2012; Uhlir and Schröder, 2007; Zhu et al., 2019). However, there are various shortcomings in the current open data initiatives such as the mismatch...abstract 2023

Foroughi, M. (author), de Andrade, Bruno (author), Pereira Roders, A. (author), Wang, T. (author)Public participation has been growing in both theory and practice of urban planning, including heritage planning. The reasoning is to facilitate the involvement of a broader group of stakeholders, beyond experts. More specifically, for heritage planning, participation could enable consensus-building on defining the significance of heritage,...journal article 2023

van Essen, S.M. (author), Scharnke, Jule (author), Seyffert, Harleigh C. (author)For the design of maritime structures in waves, the extreme values of responses such as motions and wave impact loads are required. Waves and wave-induced responses are stochastic, so such responses should always be related to a probability. This information is not easy to obtain for strongly non-linear responses such as wave impact forces....journal article 2023

Asveld, L. (author), Robaey, Zoë Houda (author), Francke, Sara (author), Osseweijer, P. (author)Biomass such as crops and agricultural waste is increasingly used as the primary resource for products like bioplastics and biofuels. Incorporating the needs, knowledge, skills and values of biomass producers in the design of global value chains – the steps involved in creating any finished product from design to delivery – can contribute to...journal article 2023

Joshi, R. (author), Kruijff, Michiel (author), Schmehl, R. (author)In the current auction-based electricity market, the design of utility-scale renewable energy systems has traditionally been driven by the levelised cost of energy (LCoE). However, the market is gradually moving towards a subsidy-free era, which will expose the power plant owners to the fluctuating prices of electricity. This paper presents a...journal article 2023

Scharnke, Jule (author), van Essen, S.M. (author), Seyffert, Harleigh C. (author)In the assessment of wave-in-deck loads for new and existing maritime structures typically model tests are carried out. To determine the most critical conditions and measure sufficient impact loads, a range of sea states and various seeds (realisations) for each sea state are tested. Based on these measurements, probability distributions can...journal article 2023
