Implementation of energy efficiency projects by Dutch industry
As potentials for energy savings are huge, industry can provide a major contribution to energy savings goals. This paper focuses on the energy savings realized under the Dutch... -
frameworks, challenges and gaps
Integrated Environmental Models (IEMs) incorporating ecosystem services (ES) can be useful tools to support the decision-making. However, their successful application strongly... -
Modelling erosion on a daily basis, an adaptation of the MMF approach
Abstract Effect of soil erosion causing negative impact on ecosystem services and food security is well known. On the other hand there can be yearly variation of total... -
Spatial modelling of biodiversity conservation priorities in Portugal's Monta...
Spatial models are increasingly being used to target the most suitable areas for biodiversity conservation. This study investigates how the spatial tool Marxan with Zones... -
Mainly a matter of cognitive lock-in?
Agroforestry (AF) is promoted as an environmentally sound farming practice to address the pressing challenges of meeting a rising global demand for agricultural commodities... -
Non-market use and non-use values for preserving ecosystem services over time
Non-use values (i.e. economic values assigned by individuals to ecosystem goods and services unrelated to current or future uses) provide one of the most compelling incentives... -
Modelling food security
Achieving food and nutrition security for all in a changing and globalized world remains a critical challenge of utmost importance. The development of solutions benefits from... -
A computational fluid dynamics study in Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Heat waves and the related heat stress can increase human morbidity and mortality, decrease human productivity and increase building energy consumption for cooling. There is a... -
Beam Pointing Detection by Interference with a Frequency Shifted Higher-Order...
We present the beam pointing detection of a fundamental mode by a superposition with a frequency-shifted higher-order Hermite-Gaussian mode and experimentally demonstrate its... -
Sequential development and exploitation of an exhaustible resource
This paper explores the problem of sequential exploitation of exhaustible resources by a monopolist, when a setup cost must be incurred to access the next pool. Under certain... -
Combining tacit knowledge elicitation with the SilverKnETs tool and random fo...
Residential choice behaviour is a complex process underpinned by both housing market restrictions and individual preferences, which are partly conscious and partly tacit... -
Avoiding or mitigating flooding: Bottom-up drivers of urban resilience to cli...
Abstract Coastal areas around the world are urbanizing rapidly, despite the threat of sea level rise and intensifying floods. Such development places an increasing number of... -
A comparison of oil supply risks in EU, US, Japan, China and India under diff...
For many countries, the inflow of energy is essential to keep economies running. Oil is typically considered to be the most critical fuel as an input for the petro-chemical and... -
a case study of combined chelatant-based washing treatment efficiency
Abstract The challenge of sustainable use of MSWI residues such as fly ash is particularly acute. One of the possible uses of these residues in making secondary building... -
CHAPTER 8. Recycling of Individual Waste Rubbers
With the worldwide growing interest in the recycling of valuable materials, the need to find viable options for the re-use of vulcanized rubber articles is becoming more and... -
Experiment-based policy change over time
This study provides insight into the potential of experiment-based policy making to address complex environmental challenges. The investigation shows the usefulness of making an... -
A framework for valuing spatially targeted peatland restoration
Recent evidence suggests that the degree of degradation of peatlands is substantial, and that there is a significant potential to enhance the delivery of a wide range of... -
Allocation and 'what-if' scenarios in life cycle assessment of waste manageme...
Abstract Many modern waste treatment processes and waste management systems are able to treat many different types of waste at the same time, and deliver a number of useful...
