The catalytic conversion of oleic acid to aromatics (benzene, toluene, and xylenes, BTX) over a granular H-ZSM-5/Al2O3 catalyst (ϕ 1.2–1.8 mm, 10 g loading) was investigated in a continuous bench-scale fixed-bed reactor (10 g oleic acid h–1). A peak carbon yield of aromatics of 27.4% was obtained at …

De achterliggende gedachte achter de eiwittransitie is dat plantaardige eiwitten vele malen duurzamer zijn dan eiwitten van dierlijke oorsprong. Het is inderdaad zo dat zowel de water- als de carbon-footprint van vlees groter is. Minder vlees eten helpt. Melkeiwitten zijn ook van dieren afkomstig, maar …

In the wake of the COVID 19 pandemic, the field of internationalisation of higher education is in rapid transition. Worldwide, academic mobility has been rapidly increasing over the past two decades {Knight, 2020). However, the current traveling restrictions have limited the possibilities for physical …

Aarts1, E.R. van den Heuvel2 and H.S.M. Kort3,4 Published under licence by IOP Publishing …

"This publication, leaded by the National University of Singapore School of Design and Environment, presents the research by design results of four consecutive years in four different countries (China, Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand) responding to the current challenge of building more resilient …

Climate change is undermining the importance and sustainability of cooperatives as important organizations in small holder agriculture in developing countries. To adapt, cooperatives could apply carbon farming practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance their business by increasing yields, …

The carbon sink capacity of tropical forests is substantially affected by tree mortality. However, the main drivers of tropical tree death remain largely unknown. Here we present a pan-Amazonian assessment of how and why trees die, analysing over 120,000 trees representing > 3800 species from 189 long-term …

The objective of the project was to investigate the long-term hot/wet performance of Glass fibre Reinforced Epoxy composites used for industrial pipe systems. A large part of the work consisted of the development of test methods for both macroscopic and microscopic level. This resulted in new test methods …

The prediction of mechanical elastic response of laminated hybrid polymer composites with basic carbon nanostructure, that is carbon nanotubes and graphene, inclusions has gained importance in many advanced industries like aerospace and automotive. For this purpose, in the current work, a hierarchical, …

Background and aim – In this study, it is pre-supposed that the indoor environmental conditions of classrooms can contribute to the quality of the educational process. Thermal, acoustic and visual conditions and indoor air quality (IAQ) may be extremely supportive in order to support the in-class tasks …
