Recent studies show that charging stations are operated in an inefficient way. Due to the fact that electric vehicle (EV) drivers charge while they park, they tend to keep the charging station occupied while not charging. This prevents others from having access. This study is the first to investigate …

Ecosystem engineering research has recently demonstrated the fundamental importance of non-trophic interactions for food-web structure. Particularly, by creating benign conditions in stressful environments, ecosystem engineers create hot beds of elevated levels of recruitment, growth, and survival of …

Rondom de transities in het sociale domein is een schat aan nieuwe woorden gaan klinken. Woorden die vaak evenmin als de praktische verschuivingen die ze vergezellen eenduidig zijn.

We check the route, and the screen shows that we travelled to an airport outside of Moscow. Impossible. We look …

In het kader van het FLEX P2G project zijn prototypes van een 50 KW PEMWE electrolyser en van een SEM reactor ontwikkeld. Met behulp van deze Power to Gas (P2G) technologie kan door middel van elektrolyse eerst waterstof en vervolgens ‐ na een reactie met CO2‐ methaan worden geproduceerd. Dit onderzoek …

Currently, the engagement of local communities in Health Impact Assessment is becoming more and more important. A scoping review was performed to take stock of visions, methods and experiences in this field. A combined Scopus and Medline search yielded 100 articles in scientific journals. The final selection …

This viz shows the trends in worldwide Internet penetration (percentage of population with Internet access) over time using ITU data from 2000-2016.

June 2015 the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science formulated an ambitious program for open and online education in the Netherlands in its Strategic Agenda “HO2025, de waarde(n) van weten” (“Higher Education 2025, the value(s) of knowledge”). According to Minister Mrs. Jet Bussemaker: “I …

This report has been established within the Flexiheat project. Flexiheat has focused on increasing flexibility in district heating systems. The intelligent district heating network is a dynamic network: an open network where different waste heat and renewable energy sources are connected, that has multiple …

We are now faced with numerous examples of the use of the word ‘open’ in the context of education. There are open schools, open universities, open participatory learning infrastructures (OPLI), open courseware (OCW), massive open online courses (MOOCs), open educational resources (OER), open educational …
