There is an urgency for developing methods that are capable of monitoring water systems that are fast changing due to climate change and increase of anthropogenic pressure. Updated and real-time detailed data is necessary to support water and soil management strategies. This study evaluates the implementations …

The seismic performance of a two-story 2D frame and a five-story 3D frame–shear-wall structure founded on spread (isolated) footings is investigated. In addition to footings conventionally designed in accordance with “capacity-design” principles, substantially under-designed footings are also used. Such …

Door de huidige klimaatveranderingen in Nederland is er een hoge urgentie om primaire waterkeringen te versterken. Door het zoeken naar nieuwe dijkversterkingstechnieken tracht men de kosten hiervan in de hand te houden. Op het dijkversterkingsproject VIJG (Versterking IJsseldijk Gouda) wordt een nieuwe …

This dissertation focusses on counter-radicalisation policies and their effectiveness in Denmark and the Netherlands. Increased terrorism on European soil in the last decade, forced EU member states to implement renewed counter-terrorism and counter-radicalisation measures. The purpose of this study …

No… It is the fog that obscures the real aspects of the earthquake problem in the region and is crystallised …

The nature organisation Echo aims to conserve the Yellow-Shouldered Amazon parrot on Bonaire. They have established two exclosures for reforestation purposes, Washington and Slagbaai (Washington-Slagbaai National park), which increase the habitat of this parrot. Several native Xerophytic tree species …

Agriculture is the mainstay of the Ethiopian economy. However, the production of crops in the Northern Ethiopia especially Tigray Region is at subsistence level due to drought, erratic rainfall and poor soil fertility. Since cactus pear is a drought-resistant plant, it is considered as a lifesaver fruit …
