Spational modeling of a sustainable gas supply chain by matching supply and demand Biogas production from co-digestion of cattle manure and biomass can have a significant contribution to a sustainable gas supply when this gas is upgraded to specifications prescribed for injection into the national gas …

ALIFE:The “as eaten” method to measure the Total Dietary Fibre content was implemented at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences (WP 4). The enzymatic treatment with the GtfB enzyme clearly resulted in an increased fibre content of starch from 1.6% to approx. 20% (fig A). When using this modified starch …

Semi-closed greenhouses have been developed in which window ventilation is minimized due to active cooling, enabling enhanced CO2 concentrations at high irradiance. Cooled and dehumidified air is blown into the greenhouse from below or above the canopy. Cooling below the canopy may induce vertical temperature …

This research has been done on behalf of Eosta, a leading international distributor of fresh organic fruits and vegetables. Eosta is concerned with the situation of the earth's soils and wants to start an awareness campaign about soil. The central question of the research is: how can Eosta communicate …

Het is algemeen bekend dat architectuur en derhalve de gebouwde woonomgeving ons dagelijkse leven en welzijn beïnvloedt, zowel in directe als indirecte zin. We kennen in de bouwwereld allemaal de tekening van Leonardo da Vinci, de ‘Vitruviusman’, inzake de ‘menselijke maat’ zoals beschreven door Vitruvius. …

The recently developed HyperCollar applicator was specifically designed to heat tumors in the head and neck region. The applicator uses twelve antennas to create an EM interference pattern, which applies heat to the target area. Patients' position and movement needs to be tightly monitored and controlled …

Introduction Physical activity is suggested to be important for low back pain (LBP) but a major problem is the limited validity of the measurement of physical activities, which is usually based on questionnaires. Physical fitness can be viewed as a more objective measurement and our question was how …

The “as eaten” method to measure the Total Dietary Fibre content and an in vitro fermentation with colon bacteria were successfully coupled to see if fibre fractions have a prebiotic effect. Similar growth pattern for modified starch, FOS and GOS were observed (Fig A). The qPCR results indicate a significant …
