Renewable Ammonia Value Chain Analysis
(2023)Renewable ammonia holds considerable promise as a driver of global decarbonization efforts. This study investigates ammonia’s value chain from import to end-use applications, addressing crucial transitional challenges. Key ... -
Meetinstrument ontwerp voor oriëntaties van aardrijkskundedocenten ten aanzien van klimaateducatie
(2023)Klimaateducatie is een onderdeel van de aardrijkskundelessen. Wat er precies wordt lesgegeven en op welke manier is afhankelijk van de oriëntatie van de docent. Oriëntaties kunnen worden ingedeeld in op basis van leerdoelen, ... -
Comparison of two-stage stochastic optimization and adaptive robust optimization for European day-ahead electricity market clearing.
(2023)The current deterministic day ahead market clearing in wholesale electricity markets, which was constructed around dispatchable and controllable electricity from conventional producers, is in need of adaptation to address ... -
Spatial Storytelling in Yad Vashem: An Ethnographic Exploration on the (Dis)Placement of the Sacred in Israel's National Holocaust Memorial
(2023)[""This thesis traces the interface of Holocaust memory and religious text, symbolism, and motifs at Yad Vashem, Israels official memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. Working with the notion of spatial storytelling, ... -
Agroecology in Practice: Designing a Food Forest in the Utrechtse Heuvelrug
(2023)This thesis explores sustainable design principles for a climate-adaptive food forest (FF) at estate Zuylestein in the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. The landowner wished to integratea former forested area into the productional focus ... -
The Canvas as a Mechanism for Scientific Impact
(2023)This paper embarks on an exploratory journey into the realm of canvases within a scientific, strategic management and business context. Plagued by their intangibility and abstract nature, canvases pose a unique challenge ... -
Fate of buoyant and non-buoyant microplastics in the nearshore zone of uninterrupted sandy beaches, a 3D exploratory model
(2023)In this study, the motion of both buoyant and non-buoyant microplastics in the nearshore zone of a single-barred beach system is investigated. Understanding the pathways and fate of microplastics in this region is crucial, ... -
INNER SHELL SPECTROSCOPY AND RELATIVISTIC ATOM IONIZATION CROSS SECTION BY ELECTRON IMPACT
(2023)The elemental composition of materials in the Transmission Electron Microscope is probed by inner shell ionization of atoms by a high energetic electron beam. Proper elemental quantification of the material requires detailed ... -
Onvervulde zorgbehoefte van jongeren met mentale gezondheidsproblemen.
(2023)Uit recent onderzoek blijkt dat mensen met mentale gezondheidsproblemen gemiddeld 15 jaar eerder overlijden ten opzichte van mensen zonder mentale gezondheidsproblemen. Vooral onder jongeren tussen de 18 tot en met 25 jaar ... -
A review on deep learning for regulatory genomics
(2023)Advances in deep learning have revolutionized the omics field, including genomics, epigenomics and transcriptomics. Many deep learning models have integrated multiple types of omics data to study genomic regulation and ... -
Phase slips in space-time crystals
(2023)In this work, we attempt to find a suitable approach to study phaseslip switching between time crystal modes. These time crystal are density oscillations in Bose Einstein condensates. Our goal is to determine the parameter ... -
Volumetric data structures for real-time ray tracing
(2023)Volumetric effects such as clouds, explosions, smoke, and fog are important scene elements for computer games. While these can be efficiently handled in a rasterizer, path tracers typically struggle to render them efficiently. ... -
MTD-H: Using Conspiracy Numbers To Solve Game Trees In A More Informed Manner
(2023)Games like Chess, Go or Tic-Tac-Toe have been around for a long time. But programmable computers have only been accessible for the last 50 years. One of the areas that has been researched, is the science of rational decision ... -
Applying the COM-B model to understand the (non) use of wellbeing indicators in policy development: what can we learn from civil servants? A case study of the Netherlands
(2023)Although the shortcomings of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a proxy for societal wellbeing are widely acknowledged, few countries around the world have successfully institutionalised alternative measures in their national ... -
Mathematical models for the spread of multiple pathogens with cross-reactivity and waning of immunity
(2023)Using several mathematical models for multi-strain epidemics, we study both theoretically and with stochastic simulations, how waning of overall immunity and cross-immunity impact the coexistence of multiple pathogen ... -
Longitudinal neuroimaging study of accelerated brain ageing in patients with post-operative delirium.
(2023)Delirium is described as one of the mental manifestations of a pathophysiological condition called acute encephalopathy. It can take form in changes in mental abilities, such as lack of awareness, attention, and disorientation. ... -
