To enhance the validity of a mobility emission-effects model, a research is conducted on consumer behaviour. Consumer mobilitypreferences are the main determining factor in the proposed model that describes the kilometre and emission outcome under several scenarios. Motorized mobility of consumers buying …

The use of robots as educational tools provides a stimulating environment for students. Some robotics competitions focus on primary and secondary school aged children, and serve as motivation for students to get involved in educational robotics activities. Although very appealing, many students cannot …

For long flights, the cruise is the longest phase and where the largest amount of fuel is consumed. An in-cruise optimization method has been implemented to calculate the optimal trajectory that reduces the flight cost. A three-dimensional grid has been created, coupling lateral navigation and vertical …

Periodes met hitte gekoppeld aan stedelijke luchtverontreiniging hebben gevolgen voor de gezondheid en het welzijn van de inwoners in de stad. ze leiden tot hittestress en in het extreme geval tot vroegtijdige sterfte. Onderzoek uit 2011 liet zien dat temperatuur en luchtvervuiling vaak tegelijk verhoogd …

Treintjes van vier vrachtwagens hebben de toekomst in de transportwereld. Amsterdam moet daar snel op inspelen, schrijven Dick van Damme en Walther Ploos van Amstel.

We have investigated the photoionization and photodissociation of free coronene cations C24H12+ upon soft X-ray photoabsorption in the carbon K-edge region by means of a time-of-flight mass spectrometry approach. Core excitation into an unoccupied molecular orbital (below threshold) and core ionization …

Distribution structures and distribution centre (DC) locations are essential for logistics companies to optimise logistics costs and service levels. This paper reviews Supply Chain Management (SCM), Geography and Economic Geographic literature on distribution structure and DC locations decision-making. …
