Post, B. (author), Borst, S. (author), van den Berg, J.L. (author)Network densification has emerged as a powerful paradigm to boost spectral efficiency and accommodate the continual rise in demand for wireless capacity. In dense cell deployments however, overlapping coverage areas may cause highly varying interference conditions among different cells. Moreover, denser networks experience more temporal load...conference paper 2019

Oliveira, C.C.N. (author), Rochedo, P.R.R. (author), Bhardwaj, R. (author), Worrell, E. (author), Szklo, A. (author)The urgency with which the world economy needs to be decarbonized could lead to the emergence of regions with the capacity to produce renewable feedstock such as biomass. The competitiveness of these regions could result from their ability to produce high value-added chemicals at the lowest cost. The biomass embodied in a chemical product could...article 2019

van Lieshout, M.J. (author), Emmert, S.B. (author)The right to privacy is enshrined in the European charter of fundamental rights. The right to data protection is a relatively novel right, also enshrined in the same European charter. While these rights seem to focus on a defensive and protective approach, they also give rise to a positive and constructive interpretation. The GDPR may act as...conference paper 2018

Jonkers, E. (author), Nellthorp, J. (author), Wilmink, I.R. (author), Olstam, J. (author)In recent years, various field operational tests (FOTs) have been carried out in the EU to measure the real-world impacts of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). A challenge arising from these FOTs is to scale up from the very localised effects measured in the tests to a much wider set of socio-economic impacts, for the purposes of policy...article 2018

(author)Objectives A novel triage approach to routine assessments was introduced to improve the efficiency of Preventive Child Healthcare (PCH): PCH assistants carried out pre-assessments of all children and sent the children with suspected health problems to follow-up assessments conducted by a physician or nurse. This two-step approach differed from...article 2017

(author)Many of the Dutch movable hydraulic structures are exceeding lifetime expectancy based on the then-current standards and regulations. Also signs of ageing become apparent, regulations (e.g. about structural safety) get more and more strict and functional requirements have often increased over time due to climate change and socio-economic...conference paper 2017
