In conclusion, the research objective was met. The objective was to identify and structure the key factors and value creation mechanisms that shape the prospects for financial sustainability of NbS interventions, or projects with a central NbS component, in order to support the assessment of what makes …

Despite the key roles of circular startups and investors in enabling the transition towards a circular economy, weak connections have been found between the two actors, limiting effective collaboration and the exchange of resources. While previous research demonstrated the beneficial role of intermediaries …

Daskan Inc. manages a diverse portfolio of engineering projects and faces a recurring challenge inaccurately estimating the engineering effort required and understanding differences in project workload and difficulty at the early stage of a project. Currently, these estimations rely heavily on expert …

Door toenemende druk binnen de gezondheidszorg neemt het belang van zorgtechnologie binnen de fysiotherapeutische praktijk steeds verder toe, terwijl de opleidingen hier nog beperkt op voorbereiden.

Nederland kampt met een groeiende toename van leefstijl gerelateerde aandoeningen, zoals overgewicht, diabetes mellitus (type II) en hart- en vaatziekten. Tegelijkertijd voldoet een groot deel van de bevolking niet aan de huidige algemene beweegrichtlijnen. Daarom wordt in dit onderzoek gekeken naar …

Native European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) reefs have strongly declined in the Dutch Delta, motivating restoration efforts that use engineered substrates to support settlement and early reef development. In Lake Veere, Project Asta tests the Mother Reef concept: biodegradable clay blocks that are conditioned …

Awareness of climate change and stricter emission regulations have accelerated the search for sustainable energy solutions. A central goal is carbon-neutral energy use, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions while ensuring reliable energy supply. In applications with limited grid access—such as festivals, …

This research explored whether machine learning models could predict shifts in participants’ preferences and attitudes towards energy solutions based on behavioural and self-reported engagement data collected during visual educational interventions. Through four sub-questions, the study evaluated how …

This research explored the use of deep learning to classify impact events on wind turbine blades using spectrogram images. Audio data were recorded through indoor and outdoor simulations using smartphones. The data preparation process involved converting stereo recordings to mono, applying downcasting …
