It is common knowledge that when driving a vehicle, people leave traces of DNA behind. However, in the context of vehicle crimes, it is helpful for the police and investigative personnel to know the vehicle locations in which a perpetrator most likely left DNA during the incident. By specifying the most …

Predicting flood dynamics in data-scarce urban catchments remains a major hydrological challenge, yet physically-based modeling is essential for design mitigation infrastructure. This study assessed the impact of land cover change on the hydrological response and hydraulic performance of the ungauged …

Abstract This study evaluated the effects of vegetation and internal water storage (IWS) on evapotranspiration (ET), hydrologic performance, and water quality in bioretention mesocosms. Twelve mesocosms were configured as planted/free-drainage (PF), planted/IWS (PI), unplanted/free-drainage (UF), and …

Climate change and urban adaptation measures are reshaping environments relevant to human health, including vector-borne diseases such as dengue. This study assesses potential health risks associated with nature-based solutions (NbS), with a focus on mosquitoes and ticks, to support safe climate adaptation …

Urbanisation and climate change increase the need for quantitative insight into the contribution of nature-based solutions (NbS) to climate adaptation. While NbS are widely implemented at local scales, their aggregated contribution to regional and national adaptation ambitions remains largely unknown. …

Crime scene investigations require rapid decision-making under complex conditions, often without the opportunity for revision. Task-relevant information from similar cases can support Scene of Crime Officers (SoCOs) in making these decisions. Decision support can reduce human error and subjectivity, …

Decarbonizing the energy system requires new applications for green hydrogen produced via electrolysis, especially in high-emission sectors. This study investigates the technoeconomic feasibility of off-grid on-farm hydrogen production integrated with intermittent renewables in Australia and the Netherlands, …

Due to growing power consumption and the energy transition, installation of high-voltage underground cables (HVUC) is becoming increasingly crucial for increasing transmission capacity while minimising societal and environmental disruption. This thesis, completed in a professional setting at Witteveen+Bos, …

In this chapter we will provide insight in the learning materials, tools and guides that have been developed within the Erasmus+ funded project Interprofessionalism in Action (INPRO). With these materials we closed the gap between competency levels of future professionals and professionals in rehabilitation …

Decades of research on intercultural competence (ICC) development in higher education have primarily focused on interventions implemented during enrollment, with limited attention to the experiences students bring with them upon entry. This study therefore explores differences in ICC at the point of …
