Medium-scale farms using anaerobic digestion must choose among different biogas utilization pathways, each with distinct technical and environmental implications. This study develops an integrated assessment framework that combines Aspen Plus process simulations with life cycle assessment in openLCA …

Power-to-X technologies play a crucial role in accelerating the energy and material transition. A key opportunity lies in integrating these systems with existing bio-based infrastructures such as anaerobic digesters, providing a reliable source of biogenic carbon. Developing effective Power-to-Methanol …

This research has proved that the implementation of a Modular Connection System (MCS1) for the “WET CELL” project is not only possible but also promising, as it successfully demonstrates how modularity, circularity, and material reusability can be achieved through the optimal design and material selection. …

Light intensity and spectral composition notably impact the human circadian rhythm. The human body is a physiological system that regulates its sleep-awake cycle through a constant rhythm of light and darkness. For a long time, the lighting research field has been concerned with understanding this circadian …

This study sought to comprehensively examine the complex relationship between de-icing substances and asphalt pavement, with an emphasis on understanding how freeze-thaw cycles and various deicers affect infrastructure performance and longevity. The primary focus was centered around strengthening understanding …

Few studies have investigated staying intentions and house attachment of residents who are confronted with physical damage to their dwelling in a risk area. This paper examines whether and how homeowners who are confronted with human-induced risks and the consequences of gas extraction in the Dutch Groningen …

The objective of this study is to evaluate the energetic, exergetic, sustainability, economic and environmental performances of a 4-cylinder turbodiesel aviation engine (TdAE) used on unmanned aerial vehicles for the take-off operation mode to assess the system with large aspects. Energy efficiency of …

From diagnosis to patient scheduling, AI is increasingly being considered across different clinical applications. Despite increasingly powerful clinical AI, uptake into actual clinical workflows remains limited. One of the major challenges is developing appropriate trust with clinicians. In this paper, …

Bulk molding compound (BMC) thermoset (bio) composites are difficult to recycle because they cannot be melted for reprocessing. However, this group of materials is often used in high-end applications where strength and lightweight materials are required, such as boat hulls, aircraft parts, car parts, …

By 2050, the world population will have increased to 9 billion (Bongaarts, 2009). This increase will lead to significant growth in waste. Construction is one of the largest raw material users (Bribian et al., 2011), and this sector consumes about 40% of the energy-related CO2 emissions (Dean et al., …
