This paper evaluates a design procedure which is able to scale one-dimensional quadratic-residue diffusers, with integrated Helmholtz resonators. These acoustic structures can be tuned to room modes while fitting within a specified volume. An algorithmic solver is used to control geometric parameters …

X-TEAM D2D project is focused on integrating Air Traffic Management and Urban Air Mobility into an overall multimodal transport network to address the potential increase in efficiency of the overall transportation system in the future, considering the operational domain of the urban and extended urban …

As an active form of meeting, walking meetings can be beneficial for office workers who often have a sedentary work routine. Despite their substantial benefits in terms of health, social interactions, and creativity, walking meetings are not yet widely adopted. Some key barriers limiting their social …

Dairy cooperatives have been around in the Netherlands for more than 130 years (Bijman, 2018). A growing European economy and growing demand for dairy products offered opportunities for further growth (Bijman, 2018). As the technological development in dairy processing evolved, cooperatives continued …

With the integration of Intermitted Renewables Energy (I-RE) electricity production, capacity is shifting from central to decentral. So, the question is if it is also necessary to adjust the current load balancing system from a central to more decentral system. Therefore, an assessment is made on the …

Virtual Reality (VR) can bridge the gap between theoretical educative materials and complex real-life situations that ambulance nurses face in practice⁠. The ability to simulate scenarios from a compelling caregiver perspective offers a powerful learning method⁠. We aim to contribute to the training …

Martien Visser neemt het Net-Zero scenario van het IEA onder de loep. “Het geeft een goede indruk van de uitdagingen die we voor ons hebben. Hoe gaan wie die waarmaken of zelfs overtreffen?”

Over the period of this project, a lot of time was spent on refactoring and combining the code of different teams that have worked on it, mostly changing REST API to adhere to the best web development practices. Another big part of the project was developing an import system where club trainers can import …

On the eve of the large-scale introduction of electric vehicles, policy makers have to decide on how to organise a significant growth in charging infrastructure to meet demand. There is uncertainty about which charging deployment tactic to follow. The main issue is how many of charging stations, of which …

Energy planning in the built environment increasingly takes place in local settings. Suitable planning models should therefore be able to capture local dynamics, such as stakeholder behaviour, resource availability and building characteristics. In relation to the key challenges of energy transition in …
