van der Zwet, K. (author), Barros, A.I. (author), van Engers, T.M. (author), Sloot, P.M.A. (author)Insurgency conflicts pose significant challenges to societies globally. The increase of insurgency conflicts creates a need to understand how insurgencies arise, and to identify societal drivers of insurgencies or effective strategies to counter them. In this paper, we analyze the contributions of computational modeling methods for the analysis...article 2022

(author)Steel production is a main source of CO2 emissions globally. These emissions must be drastically reduced to meet climate change mitigation goals. STEPWISE is a Sorption Enhanced Reactive Process (SERP) technology that converts steel works arising gases to H2 with simultaneous CO2 capture. The main energy requirements of the process are the high-...article 2022

Peysakhovich, V. (author), Ledegang, W. (author), Houben, M. (author), Groen, E. (author)Eye movements analysis has great potential for understanding operator behaviour in many safety-critical domains, including aviation. In addition to traditional eye-tracking measures on pilots’ visual behavior, it seems promising to incorporate machine learning approaches to classify pilots’ visual scanning patterns. However, given the multitude...conference paper 2022

Barros, A.I. (author), van der Zwet, K. (author), Westerveld, J.J.L. (author), Schreurs, W. (author)Technological innovations such as digitalisation have an increasingly important role in our society. This development is also reflected in police work. In particular, the access to information on a global scale has increased the international character, adaptivity, and fluidity of criminal organisations. As such, there is a pressing need to...article 2022

Albers, N. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Penfornis, K.M. (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author)Background Despite their increasing prevalence and potential, eHealth applications for behavior change suffer from a lack of adherence and from dropout. Advances in virtual coach technology provide new opportunities to improve this. However, these applications still do not always offer what people need. We, therefore, need a better understanding...article 2022

Liu, J.J. (author), Dickson, R. (author), Niaz, H. (author), van Hal, J.W. (author), Dijkstra, J.W. (author)Seaweed as a third-generation biofuel feedstock can provide fuels and chemicals to offset climate change caused by fossil fuel usage and support a cleaner and thriving sea and ocean environment. However, despite several advantages, there are significant challenges to deploying commercial-scale seaweed-based biorefineries, including low-cost and...article 2022

Moverly Smith, B. (author), Clayton, R. (author), van der Weijde, A.H. (author), Thies, P.R. (author)Recently, floating wind has enjoyed much public and governmental attention and is commonly identified as a crucial next step on the route to net zero targets for many countries. However, there is currently a large gap between the scale and readiness-level of devices in the water and the end-of- the-decade aspirational targets of many governments...article 2022

Hendriks, D. (author), van der Meer, A. (author), Oortwijn, W. (author)Software-intensive systems constantly evolve. To prevent software changes from unintentionally introducing costly system defects, it is important to understand their impact to reduce risk. However, it is in practice nearly impossible to foresee the full impact of software changes when dealing with huge industrial systems with many configurations...conference paper 2022

However, previous studies are uncertain how the persistence and convergence of mitigation efforts may impact future trajectories from the consumption perspective. Here we assume regional...article 2022
