On the 15th of June 2018 during the State visit to Lithuania 3 universities signed an agreement to research Cryogenic fuels (bio)-LNG and Hydrogen in an optimized, ecological, coupled Hybrid Energy Networks in a value chain context. A few months later dr. ir. J. Dam presented the current status of the …

We developed a dedicated Atomic Force Microscopy set-up in a hermetically closed environment, coupled with a Galvanostat/Potentiostat which will be able to perform in-situ and operando measurements at the cathode-electrolyte and anode-electrolyte interface to monitor the interphase processes. The setup …

The so called Second Demographic Transition (Lesthaeghe and Van der Kaa, 1986), which surfaced in the sixties of the twentieth century in Western Europe and North America, resulted from a significant change in the pattern of norms and values. This again resulted in delayed fertility, a declining population …

Bryophytes are small, haploid, non-vascular plants, which can be divided in three distinct phyla; the mosses (Musci), the liverworts (Hepaticae) and the hornworts (Anthocerotae) (Gradstein & Melick, 1996), (Touw, Kruijer, & Stech, 2016). They are valuable indicators of environmental chance, due to the …

The performance of neural electrodes in physiological fluid, especially in chronic use, is critical for the success of functional electrical stimulation devices. Tips of the Utah electrode arrays (UEAs) were coated with sputtered iridium oxide film (SIROF) and activated iridium oxide film (AIROF) to …

During a guest lecture at the Klaipeda University prof. dr. ir. J. Dam presented his findings on Cryogenic fuels in a top-down approach. The role of small scale LNG and H2 in Coupled Hybrid Energy Networks and LNG storage systems were also discussed.

Multiple scientific and industrial applications such as telecommunication and quantum cryptography causing a rise in the development of the superconducting nanowire single photons detectors (SNSPD). In the last decade, the characteristics of the detectors improved but run against the problem that the …

In newsrooms journalists encounter numerous constraints accelerated by increasing technological and economic pressures. The complexity of the job and the need for (constant) innovation coupled with the rising call for transparency and accountability ask for journalists who “reflect-in-action”. Newsroom …

Global awareness on energy consumption and the environmental impacts of fossil fuels boost actions and create more supportive policies towards sustainable energy systems, in the last energy outlook, by the International Energy Agency, it was forecasted totals of 3600 GW from 2016 to 2040 of global deployment …

Since March 2015 the Faculty of Technology, Innovation and Society (TIS) of The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS) is a CDIO member with all its twelve programs: Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Management, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Building Engineering, Civil Engineering, Climate …
