Eekhout, I. (author), van Tongeren, M. (author), Pearce, N. (author), Oude Hengel, K.M. (author)Objective This study aimed to investigate the effects of occupational exposures on the risk of a positive COVID-19 test, and whether this differed across pandemic waves. Methods Data from 207 034 workers from The Netherlands with test data on COVID-19 from June 2020 until August 2021 were available. Occupational exposure was estimated by using...article 2023

(author)Objective To map the risk of work-related SARS-CoV-2 across occupations and pandemic waves and investigate its impact on morbidity and partner-risk. Methods The cohort includes 2,4 million employees aged 20–69 with follow-up from 2020 through 2021. During this period, 261,203 employees had a positive SARS-CoV-2 test and 4416 were admitted to...article 2023

(author)In the Dutch offshore, we have observed numerous acoustic anomalies, usually bright spots, in seismic data of Cenozoic deltaic deposits. When associated with shallow gas, these bright spots are good indicators of re source potential, drilling hazard, or seabed methane emissions. We apply a combined seismic and petrophysical assessment to qualify...article 2022

Jin, Y. (author), Scherer, L. (author), Sutanudjaja, E.H. (author), Tukker, A. (author), Behrens, P. (author)Large numbers of China's thermal power plants are in water-stressed regions. Changes in the availability of water resources due to climate change may impact the vulnerability of regional and national electricity generation. Here we explore this vulnerability for coal-fired power units (CPUs) as the generation-type most exposed to climate risk....article 2022

Kumaresan, A. (author), Kandasamy, N.K. (author), Kooij, R.E. (author)The endeavour towards making power distribution systems (PDSs) smarter has made the interdependence on communication network indispensable. Further, prospective high penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources in the form of distributed energy resources (DERs) has resulted in the necessity for smart controllers on such DERs. Inverters...article 2022

(author), van Tongeren, M. (author), Burdorf, A. (author), Oude Hengel, K.M. (author)Objectives A COVID-19 Job Exposure Matrix (COVID-19-JEM) has been developed, consisting of four dimensions on transmission, two on mitigation measures, and two on precarious work. This study aims to validate the COVID-19-JEM by (i) comparing risk scores assigned by the COVID-19-JEM with self-reported data, and (ii) estimating the associations...article 2022

Rasheed, M.B. (author), R-Moreno, M.D. (author)To meet the carbon-free energy and water demand requirements by Europe, this work has proposed an interconnected and integrated-energy-water-hydrogen (IEWH) system. Typically these systems are generally uncoupled, however, they may be interconnected and can be operated to provide green energy and water with reduced carbon footprints. This work...conference paper 2022

Dalla Longa, F. (author), van der Zwaan, B.C.C. (author)A large part of the population in many African countries lacks access to electricity, in contrast to the ambition of reaching universal energy access as expressed in the Sustainable Development Goals. Off-grid electricity technologies have been proposed as an important means to solve this challenge. It is uncertain, however, at what rate these...article 2021

Brink, H.T. (author), Hitzenberger, R. (author)Coefficient of Haze (CoH) was the official proxy for the mass concentration of particulate matter in the US from ca. 1950 onwards. Originally, a linearity between CoH and sample load was claimed, but although shortly after the introduction of the method it was found that the relation between mass loading and the fraction of light 10 absorbed by...article 2021

Blom, K.C.H. (author), Dol, H.S. (author)For enabling efficient operation of untethered underwater vehicles, error-free underwater communication of command-and-control and telemetry data is a necessity. In contrast, the communication requirements for the sensor data of these vehicles are often less stringent, i.e., a few bad pixels in a SONAR image might be tolerated. To maximize...conference paper 2019
