De stedelijke bebouwde omgeving staat in de nabije toekomst voor een grote uitdaging. Wet- en regelgeving verplicht projectontwikkelaars van gebouwen om steeds duurzamer te worden en een klimaat mitigerende rol aan te nemen. Tegelijkertijd beginnen de gevolgen van klimaatverandering hun grip te krijgen …

Veel voorkomende blessures die sport en bewegen van de mens vaak in de weg staan zijn de peesblessures. Voorbeelden van de meest voorkomende peesblessures zijn onder andere patella tendinopathie oftewel de jumpers knee (JK), achilles tendinopathie (AT) en ECRB tendinopathie (extensor carpi radialis brevis, …

The Netherlands has a mission to use 16% of sustainable energy by 2023, and 100% of sustainable energy by 2050, thus making green energy to be the only source of energy in the future. Foundation Loswal “De Bonnen” has 17.5 hectares of raw land where they want to develop a digester. The aim of this paper …

The aim of this research was to find out in how far the Netherlands could learn from Sweden regarding the use of manure, in order to create awareness within the equine sector on sustainable solutions. The number of horses in Europe exceeds 5 million and keeps increasing, therefore contributes to greenhouse …

The Nieuw Statendam is equipped with a program called ENIRAM. This program calculates the optimal engine configuration and load expressed in revolutions per minute of the propellers. The issue with this program is that it only looks at the main power plants and does not take the waste heat recovery system …

Animal welfare has a high importance this day and age. In 1998 the 'Five freedoms' of Brambell have been put in the European law. Thermal comfort for dairy cows is in these five freedoms and so thermal discomfort must be avoided. Heat stress affects animal welfare, milkproduction, udder-health and reproduction …

Abstract A setup is designed and constructed to perform specular reectance spectroscopy on an enzymatic reaction, while simultaneously monitoring the heat produced by the reaction using a FLIR camera. The spectrum of ethanol was recorded using two MCT detectors and showed clear overlap with literature …

1. Summary The goal of the graduation thesis is to develop a method to analyze the energy losses through pipe shoe supports. The end result will be an excel file that can be used by any of the engineers within Jacobs. Therefore all calculation and fundamental data must be included. To achieve this goal …

The Dutch Transmission System Operator (TSO) TenneT TSO B.V. is planning to build a 2 km to 4 km long 150 kV superconducting cable connection in the Dutch high voltage grid. Superconducting cable systems allow for connections with no external magnetic field which is beneficial due to society's concerns …

The thermally-sensitive resistors (thermistors) used in VSL’s water calorimeter to detect the radiation-induced temperature change in water are affected by self-heat. The measurement current used to determine their resistance causes their temperature to increase above that of their environment. The self-heat …
