Rangnau, T. (author), van Buijtenen, R. (author), Fransen, F. (author), Turkmen, F. (author)Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) have become a well-known practice in DevOps to ensure fast delivery of new features. This is achieved by automatically testing and releasing new software versions, e.g. multiple times per day. However, classical security management techniques cannot keep up with this quick Software...conference paper 2020

Tosti, L. (author), van Zomeren, A. (author), Pels, J.R. (author), Damgaard, A. (author), Comans, R.N.J. (author)In this study, we performed a life cycle assessment of the reuse of biomass fly ash as secondary cementitious material in cement mortars as alternative to a reference landfill scenario of the ash. Since biomass ash does contain enhanced levels of elements that are of potential concern for the environment or human exposure, the performed Life...article 2019

(author), Marcomini, A. (author)The increasing use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in nano-enabled products (NEPs) has raised societal concerns about their possible health and ecological implications. To ensure a high level of human and environmental protection it is essential to properly estimate the risks of these new materials and to develop adequate risk management...article 2019

Tsoy, N. (author), Prado, V. (author), Wypkema, A.W. (author), Quist, J. (author), Mourad, M. (author)Environmental analysis should be performed early in the Research and Development (R&D) phases of new technologies to timely determine potential impact and, thereby, include prevention and minimization of unfavorable ecological impact into the innovation process. Here, we demonstrate the application of anticipatory Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) on...article 2019

Barros, E.G.D. (author), van den Hof, P.M.J. (author), Jansen, J.D. (author)The exploitation of subsurface hydrocarbon reservoirs is achieved through the control of production and injection wells (i.e., by prescribing time-varying pressures and flow rates) to create conditions that make the hydrocarbons trapped in the pores of the rock formation flow to the surface. The design of production strategies to exploit these...article 2019

Schelland, M. (author), Huibregtse, J.N. (author), Walraven, M. (author), Bouwman, E.C.J. (author)Various changes have put the retention of knowledge within Rijkswaterstaat (the executive agency of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure) under pressure in the past years. For crucial objects such as the storm surge barriers, a loss of knowledge is not acceptable and is hence addressed in multiple ways. This paper focuses on the context, content...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
