Pyrolysis liquids from lignocellulosic biomass have the potential to be used as a feed for aromatics such as benzene, toluene, and xylenes (BTX) using catalytic upgrading with zeolites. We here report an experimental study on the conversion of various pyrolysis oil fractions to determine the most suitable …

De downstreamverwerking van PHA’s is vaak energie-intensief, oplosmiddelrijk en milieutechnisch onduurzaam. Om de algehele haalbaarheid van het proces te verbeteren, is er toenemende belangstelling voor alternatieve valorisatiestrategieën die conventionele extractiestappen omzeilen. Deze studie onderzoekt …

De downstream processing van polyhydroxyalkanoaten (PHA’s) is vaak energie-intensief, solvent-intensief en milieutechnisch niet duurzaam. Om de algehele proceshaalbaarheid te verbeteren, is er toenemende belangstelling voor alternatieve valorisatiestrategieën die conventionele polymeerextractie omzeilen. …

The transition to a low-carbon economy is driving demand for critical raw materials (CRMs), such as lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements, that are essential for clean technologies. The EU's limited domestic capacity in mining and processing has created strong dependencies and supply risks due to …

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of interventions using feedback from objective measurements to reduce sedentary behavior in older adults during rehabilitation. Data Source: Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase and Emcare were systematically searched for controlled trials in May 2023. …

Background: Introduction: Physical activity is essential in preventing and treating age-related chronic diseases and mortality. Retirement is a key period to promote health behaviours, as individuals restructure their routines. Thus, we aimed to identify effective components and behaviour change techniques …

Background: Social frailty has been increasingly prevalent due to the aging populations. This concept is a rela tively new topic in the gerontology. Older adults experiencing social isolation because of social frailty remain in a state of loneliness or depression. Many misconceptions exist regarding …

Objective: To evaluate psychometrics of wearable devices measuring physical activity (PA) in ambulant children with gait abnormalities due to neuromuscular conditions.  Data Sources: We searched PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus in March 2023.  Study Selection: We included studies if …

Objectives Providing an overview of the clinimetric properties of the steep ramp test (SRT), a short-term maximal exercise test, to assess cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), describing its underlying physiological responses, and summarizing its applications in current clinical and research practice. Data …

The here-presented research focuses on the exploration of lupin beans and the analysis and extraction of its valuable components. Lupin beans offer a high protein and lipid content but can also contain toxic quinolizidine alkaloids. For the analytical determination of alkaloids, a method comparison was …
