The flexible strain sensors have been a topic of interest for multiple studies in the past years. These sensors are soft, bendable mechanisms, which can be applied to substrates through printing or other means. They can indicate longitudinal strain through resistance change, which means that they can …

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, …

This literature review will focus on how CRISPR/Cas can be used in curing diabetes. CRISPR is a newly discovered genetical engineering tool that was first found in bacteria and it has an important immune function, protecting them from viral infections by cutting the viral DNA, thereby disabling it. Researchers …

De komende jaren participeert HAS Hogeschool in het Living Lab B7 (Met Boeren, Bewoners, Bezoekers en Beleidsmakers werken aan een Betere Biodiversiteit in de Bollenstreek). De rol van de HAS in dit onderzoeksconsortium is het onderzoeken van maatwerk voor de regio, in andere woorden, praktijkgerichte …

The tidal area in the Eastern Scheldt is decreasing because of sand erosion and sea-level rise. Therefore, Rijkswaterstaat has investigated the possibilities to mitigate the consequences of erosion to maintain the intertidal areas. The height of the Galgeplaat tidal flat, the second-largest tidal flat …

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, …

This paper is aimed at understanding the role Miscanthus x giganteus has in the strength development of concrete. The use of natural fibres to reinforce brittle materials is not a novel idea, but its use has been limited. This paper is designed to provide more knowledge on the topic of natural fibre …

1.2 Problem statement As previously mentioned, a fully biobased pedestrian bridge was built in 2016 in Eindhoven University of Technology, over the river Dommel. This was a 14m bridge made from hemp and flex-fibre base. The project was developed by multiple parties including CoE BBE. The initiators of …

Most beginning food forests face the following challenge: how do we get the harvest to the consumer? At food forest 't Mortelke they had the same question. The following research presents the answer to the following question: 'What are potential outlets for the harvest of Voedselbos 't Mortelke and how …

Solar Boat, the project was born in 2009 by a group of enthusiastic students of mixed educational backgrounds who wanted to fill their free composition course points in a special, more meaningful way. They came in contact with DTIW and established an agreement of what they could offer each other, eventually …
