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 …

The integration of biomethane into existing gas distribution networks is a key component of the energy transition, but its implementation is often limited by local network constraints. This study investigates the impact of local pressure losses on biomethane injection capacity in a real-world low-pressure …

Abstract. The accelerating energy transition requires a well-trained workforce capable of im-plementing innovative building technologies and renewable energy systems. However, em-ployees in the construction and HVAC installation sectors often lack access to up-to-date train-ing due to high workloads, …

The increasing penetration of renewable energy (RE) and hydrogen technologies is reshaping the operational requirements of modern decarbonised energy systems, necessitating advanced control strategies to coordinate renewable generation, hydrogen storage, and heterogeneous end‐use demands. This paper …

This white paper introduces the foundations of industrial automation and explains why it matters in modern production environments. It clarifies what industrial automation is and what industry cares about, such as reliability, safety, productivity and maintainability. It also explains how automation …

Doel De betrokkenheid van supraspinale structuren bij de controle van passieve bewegingen is nog onvoldoende opgehelderd. Eerdere studies leverden elektromyografisch bewijs voor snelheids- en type-afhankelijke veranderingen in spieractiviteit. Op basis van eigenschappen van mechanoreceptoren, leeftijdsgerelateerde …

Reinforcement learning offers a promising approach for personalized, early-stage detection of behavioral events such as agitation in individuals with dementia, particularly when contextual insights from care staff are integrated. Given the scarcity and the ethical constraints of real-world agitation …

This paper presents a case study where a model predictive control (MPC) logic is developed for energy flexible operation of a space heating system in an educational building. A Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network (LSTM) surrogate model is trained on the output of an EnergyPlus building simulation model. …

In the SERENE project, innovations to help improve integrated energy systems in local communities are developed. A key objective is to increase local self-consumption, particularly during peak solar production hours. These innovations are tested and validated in The Aardehuizen community, a neighbourhood …

Samenvatting Behandelbeslissingen voor oudere oncologie patiënten zijn vaak complex. Dit komt door de grote variatie in achtergrond, comorbiditeiten, functionele capaciteiten en de impact van kankerbehandelingen op zowel de levenskwaliteit als de levensverwachting. In deze context is samen beslissen, …
