**Abstract** **Inleiding** Een groene leefomgeving wordt in toenemende mate geassocieerd met positieve gezondheidseffecten. Tijdens de zwangerschap kunnen omgevingsfactoren invloed hebben op geboorte-uitkomsten, zoals prematuriteit en geboortegewicht. Het doel van deze systematische literatuurstudie …

The goal of this project is to investigate the feasibility and value of a modular tool system for the Roberine machine platform (seen in Figure 1). Currently, the Roberine is used as a mowing machine with a limited range of available tools. This may reduce its versatility compared to competing machines …

Permeable pavements are implemented at more than thousand locations enabling rainfall infiltration and evapotranspiration of stormwater in The Netherlands. However, the efficiency has not been extensively tested. Therefore, research is conducted using a full-scale infiltration test (FSIT) method to measure …

By addressing the sub-research questions, the main research question and data mining goal were answered. Drought tolerance can be quantified using yield loss between control and drought treatments and robustly assessed by ranking varieties within each year. Varieties that consistently rank high or low …

Biophilia, while often seen as a fashionable concept in design and architecture, goes well beyond being just a fad; rather, it is a necessity driven by deep human and ecological needs. In an era of rapid urbanization and increasing lifestyle-related health problems, as well as climate change and declining …

Due to environmental protection efforts, there is a growing number of beavers in the Netherlands. As these animals make their burrows in the levee system they cause damage within it, increasing the risk of flooding. This paper assesses the factors which increase the risk of beaver activity within the …

This research involved revisiting an archaeological site in Siegerswoude, Friesland, the Netherlands, with a specific focus on remote sensing techniques. Remote sensing technology holds significant promise in archaeological research, providing a non-destructive method for archaeologists. Developed over …

Climate change is a major threat for the Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata). A lot of research has been done on the possible effects, but a clear overview is still lacking. This literature review aims to provide an overview of the effects of climate change on the nesting success, sex ratio and …

There is a lack of coherency in style and easy adaptability to target platforms of digital tree assets on online marketplaces necessitating efficient in-house creation of these assets for Independent Arts Software GmbH. This thesis investigates the feasibility of using Speedtree to create trees in-house …

Forest inventories serve as a primary source for above-ground biomass and carbon stock estimations. These inventories, however, are costly and time-consuming especially over large areas with difficult terrain. Multiple remote sensing techniques can facilitate forest inventories with above-ground biomass …
