Steinmann, Z.J.N. (author), Schipper, A.M. (author), Hauck, M. (author), Giljum, S. (author), Wernet, G. (author), Huijbregts, M.A.J. (author)Environmental footprints are increasingly used to quantify and compare environmental impacts of for example products, technologies, households, or nations. This has resulted in a multitude of footprint indicators, ranging from relatively simple measures of resource use (water, energy, materials) to integrated measures of eventual damage (for...article 2017

Frins, W. (author), van Ruysseveldt, J. (author), van Dam, K. (author), van den Bossche, S.N.J. (author)Purpose. Using the job demands-resources (JD-R) model as a theoretical framework, the purpose of this paper is to investigate how job demands and job resources affect older employees’ desired retirement age, through an energy-depletion and a motivational process. Furthermore, the importance of gain and loss cycles (i.e. recursive effects) for...article 2016

Alizadeh Ara, H. (author), Geilen, M. (author), Basten, T. (author), Behrouzian, A.R.B. (author), Hendriks, M. (author), Goswami, D. (author)We present an analysis method that provides tight temporal bounds for applications modeled by Synchronous Dataflow Graphs and mapped to shared resources. We consider the resource sharing effects on the temporal behaviour of the application by embedding worst case resource availability curves in the symbolic simulation of the application graph....conference paper 2016

Eisenmenger, N. (author), Giljum, S. (author), Lutter, S. (author), Marques, A. (author), Theurl, M.C. (author), Pereira, H.M. (author), Tukker, A. (author)In this article we develop a comprehensive conceptual framework for resource efficiency indicators with a consistent link of resource use to the socio-economic system and activities therein as well as to the natural system and its ecosystem functioning. Three broad groups of indicators are defined: (1) resource use indicators representing...article 2016

Oeij, P.R.A. (author), Vaas, F. (author)Workplace innovation is an organisational capability, defined as a strategic renewal in organising and organisational behaviour. This capability may consist of four resources: strategic orientation, product-market improvement, flexible work and organising smarter. Workplace innovation is theoretically rooted in the resource-based view of the...article 2016

Niks, I.M.W. (author), Gevers, J.M.P. (author), de Jonge, J. (author), Houtman, I.L.D. (author)It is well-known that recovery from work and job resources can counteract negative effects of high job demands, but less is known about how off-job recovery and job resources are related to each other. In this two-level daily diary study, 67 employees filled out daily surveys over the course of 8 days to examine this issue. Consistent with our...article 2016

(author)This study uses the InSAR technique to analyse ground subsidence due to intensive exploitation of an aquifer for agricultural and urban purposes in the Montellano town (SW Spain). The detailed deformation maps clearly show that the spatial and temporal extent of subsidence is controlled by piezometric level fluctuations and the thickness of...article 2016

Zhu, X.Y. (author), Geilen, M. (author), Basten, T. (author), Stuijk, S. (author)Synchronous dataflow graphs (SDFGs) are widely used to represent digital signal processing algorithms and streaming media applications. This paper presents several methods for binding and scheduling SDFGs on a multiprocessor platform. Exploring the state space generated by a self-timed execution (STE) of an SDFG, we present an exact method for...article 2016
