This study investigates research collaboration outcomes for all Dutch UMCs and non-academic hospitals in general and, more specifically, for the domains in the non-academic hospitals participating in the TopCare program. Additionally, it explores the organizational boundary work employed by these hospitals …

The comparative analysis of clay properties is a crucial study in dike design, construction and maintenance. Understanding the properties of different clay covers and soil is essential for ensuring the stability and effectiveness of dike systems. This research analysis aims to provide valuable insights …

In response to the growing challenges posed by climate change and urbanization, this thesis proposes designing a rain garden as a sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) in Vlissingen, the Netherlands. The primary goal of this project is to create design of a nature-based solution that not only manages …

This save-system is vital to the Traingineers project, but due to the chaotic development cycle of the project, it has not yet been implemented. Traingineers started off as a prototype. After this prototype was accepted another one was made, reusing the old code, and then again. Through multiple re-iterations …

This paper presents the preliminary design of the Horti-database, a digital tool supporting the development of drone-based monitoring systems (DBMS) for greenhouse crops. With increasing demand for sustainable food production and reduced pesticide use, DBMS offers a promising solution for automated, …

Online reputation systems (ORS) are platforms that collect and share feedback about products, services, or companies, primarily focusing on consumer reviews. However, employee rating platforms, a subset of ORS, allow workers to review their employers, providing valuable insights for job seekers and current …

The intermittency of renewable energy technologies requires adequate storage technologies. Hydrogen systems consisting of electrolysers, storage tanks, and fuel cells can be implemented as well as batteries. The requirements of the hydrogen purification unit is missing from literature. We measured the …

This study examines the integration of Connected Autonomous Transportation (CAT) systems at container terminals, focusing on identifying and prioritizing key performance indicators (KPIs) important to trucking companies. Using a mixed-methods approach, including a literature review, stakeholder interviews, …

There is an urgent need to engage with deep leverage points in sustainability transformations—fundamental myths, paradigms, and systems of meaning making—to open new collective horizons for action. Art and creative practice are uniquely suited to help facilitate change in these deeper transformational …

Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) of the filler layer in grassed swales are varying in the changing environment. In most of the hydrological models, Ks is assumed as constant or decrease with a clogging factor. However, the Ks measured on site cannot be the input of the hydrological model directly. …
