The flexible strain sensors have been a topic of interest for multiple studies in the past years. These sensors are soft, bendable mechanisms, which can be applied to substrates through printing or other means. They can indicate longitudinal strain through resistance change, which means that they can …

This graduation report describes a research project at the research group metabolomics of the Leiden center of Applied Biosciences (LCAB). The aim of this project was to develop a GC-MS method for the identification of red swamp crayfish pheromones (Procambarus clarkii). Once this method has been developed, …

This literature review will focus on how CRISPR/Cas can be used in curing diabetes. CRISPR is a newly discovered genetical engineering tool that was first found in bacteria and it has an important immune function, protecting them from viral infections by cutting the viral DNA, thereby disabling it. Researchers …

The Virtual Dutch Men is a company that creates 3D visualizations of real estate projects. Currently, they add window decorations as 2D images in the post-production phase. However, the company would like to add the window decorations in 3D, as this could offer a more flexible way of working and more …

In this thesis you can find an explaination on how Metahuman characters can be used as digital patients. These characters will have dynamic elements which will mimic medical situations. These patients will be used in a VR operating room simulation. This thesis also contains information about animating …

The tidal area in the Eastern Scheldt is decreasing because of sand erosion and sea-level rise. Therefore, Rijkswaterstaat has investigated the possibilities to mitigate the consequences of erosion to maintain the intertidal areas. The height of the Galgeplaat tidal flat, the second-largest tidal flat …

Bulk molding compound (BMC) thermoset (bio) composites are difficult to recycle because they cannot be melted for reprocessing. However, this group of materials is often used in high-end applications where strength and lightweight materials are required, such as boat hulls, aircraft parts, car parts, …

This paper is aimed at understanding the role Miscanthus x giganteus has in the strength development of concrete. The use of natural fibres to reinforce brittle materials is not a novel idea, but its use has been limited. This paper is designed to provide more knowledge on the topic of natural fibre …

1.2 Problem statement As previously mentioned, a fully biobased pedestrian bridge was built in 2016 in Eindhoven University of Technology, over the river Dommel. This was a 14m bridge made from hemp and flex-fibre base. The project was developed by multiple parties including CoE BBE. The initiators of …
