A novel synthetic approach to 2,6-bis(acrylamido)pyridine (BAAPy) has been developed, producing a dual-function monomer able to self-crosslink while providing functional binding sites through its amide and pyridine groups. The monomer's structure and purity were confirmed through NMR, FTIR, and HPLC …

"De Grensmaas moet vervolg krijgen" kopte Lan+Water op 23 juni. Riviermanagement is immers nooit klaar, ook niet in de Grensmaas. Afwegingen rondom waterveiligheid, waterhoeveelheid, waterkwaliteit en biodiversiteit blijven discussies teweeg brengen rondom integraal rivier management. Klimaat-cafés bieden …

Floating urbanization is a promising solution to reduce the vulnerability of cities against climate change, population growth or land scarcity. Although this type of construction introduces changes to aquatic systems, there is a lack of research studies addressing potential impacts. Water quality data …

COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on people worldwide. We conducted an international survey (n = 3646) examining the degree to which people's appraisals and coping activities around the pandemic predicted their health and well-being. We obtained subsamples from 12 countries-Bangladesh, Bulgaria, …

Large floating projects have the potential to overcome the challenge of land scarcity in urban areas and offer opportunities for energy and food production, or even for creating sustainable living environments. However, they influence the physical, chemical, biological and ecological characteristics …

This study investigated how job satisfaction influenced organizational commitment which, in turn, influenced employee turnover intention among medical staff in a Chinese hospital in Beijing. Data were collected from 107 hospital employees using a questionnaire-based survey. The survey measured various …

The rapid implementation of large scale floating solar panels has consequences to water quality and local ecosystems. Environmental impacts depend on the dimensions, design and proportions of the system in relation to the size of the surface water, as well as the characteristics of the water system (currents, …

Drijvende zonneparken komen steeds vaker voor. Het grootste van Europa bevindt zich in Zwolle. Hier is onderzoek gedaan naar het effect van de drijvend panelen op de waterkwaliteit en het leven in het water. De eerste resultaten tekenen zich af: op deze locatie en installatie vrijwel geen effecten op …
