Several carbon-neutral towns are investigating novel technological solutions to enable a green energy transition that incorporates increasing proportions of locally generated energy. More efficient integrated energy solutions for electricity, heat, water, waste, and transportation infrastructure must …

This graduation report describes a research project at the research group metabolomics of the Leiden center of Applied Biosciences (LCAB). The aim of this project was to develop a GC-MS method for the identification of red swamp crayfish pheromones (Procambarus clarkii). Once this method has been developed, …

Out of the urgent need to monitor the status of soil salinization, the Zeeland government and Waterschap Scheldestromen established a salinity monitoring project called salt watcher. This thesis presents a research on the design of an automatic switch system, which is one of the 3 sub-projects of the …

Waterschap Scheldestromen is curious about a 4-electrode conductivity sensor from Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre(imec), which provides a larger working range than Waterschap’s commercial 2-electrode sensor. The project aims to test the performance of this imec sensor, and couple it with Arduino …

“Biggest cocaine seizure ever in the Port of Antwerp”. (Bervoet, 2020) On the 5th of November 2020, the Belgian newspaper ‘De Tijd’ wrote about a record seizure of cocaine in the port of Antwerp.
