CO₂ emissions from electricity generation in the Netherlands fluctuate on an hourly basis, depending on which power plants are active in the energy mix. Accurate next-day forecasts of these emissions would enable companies to align energy consumption with low emission periods, but reliable forecasting …

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 …

Marine biodiversity is increasingly threatened by climate change, pollution, habitat degradation, and overexploitation, highlighting the need for accurate and efficient monitoring of seafloor habitats. Traditional methods of habitat classification and species identification are time-consuming, labour-intensive, …

Chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP) is a major problem and a leading cause of years lived with disability worldwide, with its burden expected to increase further. Disability represents a particularly important outcome in CNSLBP, as it is more strongly associated with reduced quality of life, work …

This thesis introduces a cost-effective methodology for estimating tire contact patch forces and moments at wheel centre using axial force measurements from suspension linkages. The primary aim is to reconstruct these dynamic quantities, eliminating reliance on expensive wheel force transducers (WFTs) …

This Advisory Report provides a set of three evidence-based recommendations to further improve the creditworthiness assessment of Postbank Personal Finance. Bulgaria has a highly competitive consumer finance market subject to strict BNB and EBA rules. Consultants' inconsistent access to CCR, borderline …

By addressing the sub-research questions, the main research question and data mining goal were answered. Drought tolerance can be quantified using yield loss between control and drought treatments and robustly assessed by ranking varieties within each year. Varieties that consistently rank high or low …

This research developed and validated a cost-effective proof-of-concept system to measure tyre forces and moments. The C 8k setup was calibrated and verified against a wheel force transducer, demonstrating accurate measurements of the wheel axis. Road tests at the RDW test centre captured both linear …

The medical expulsion of seriously ill third-country nationals creates complicated legal issues at the intersection of the question of migration control and protection of human rights. Even though a State has the power to take removal measures, the exercise of this discretion is constrained by European …

Camera traps are widely used in wildlife research to study species presence, distribution, and behaviour, yet their potential influence on animal behaviour is often assumed to be negligible. Many carnivores, including canids, rely heavily on olfactory communication and frequently deposit scent marks …
