Critical materials are economically important raw materials with high supply risk. They are widely used in electronic components, batteries, sensors and drone-related systems. For Europe, access to these materials is a strategic issue because many of them are not sufficiently available within the European …

Inleiding: Zorgprofessionals binnen de tweedelijnszorg spelen een cruciale rol in het herkennen en benutten van teachable moments, momenten waarop patiënten extra ontvankelijk zijn voor leefstijladvies, vaak na een opname in het ziekenhuis of diagnose. Het effectief inzetten van deze momenten vereist …

The integration of biomethane into existing gas distribution networks is a key component of the energy transition, but its implementation is often limited by local network constraints. This study investigates the impact of local pressure losses on biomethane injection capacity in a real-world low-pressure …

Ammonia is a major nitrogenous constituent of municipal wastewater and poses environmental challenges when discharged to receiving waters. Conventional biological treatment processes can be limited by operational instability, sensitivity to loading conditions, and greenhouse gas emissions, motivating …

Linear supply chains for electrical and electronic equipment lead to substantial material losses and environmental impacts, particularly for polyurethane rigid foam used as insulation in refrigerators. This study investigates the systemic conditions that shape the transition towards circular supply chains …

Achtergrond: Sedentair gedrag en een lage lichamelijke activiteit kunnen het herstel na een kniearthroplastiek (KA) bij patiënten in de werkzame leeftijd beïnvloeden. Deze hypothesegenererende studie onderzoekt of perioperatieve niveaus van lichamelijke activiteit samenhangen met de tijd tot volledige …

orecasting the thermal behavior of ?exible heating assets is essential for real-time energy management in heating systems. While thermal dynamics are complex, the optimization algorithms within EMS require low-order models with minimal computational load to make rapid, real-time decisions. To bridge …

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 …

Introduction: – Whether person-centered pain education approaches for Physical Therapist (PT) students elicit positive guideline-consistent changes in knowledge, attitudes, and clinical behavior is unknown. This study aims to evaluate the effects of enhanced-education compared to standard-education among …

Although attitudes toward sustainable commuting have become more positive in many countries, actual behavioral change remains slow. Meanwhile, the transport sector remains a major source of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, with significant differences in sustainability efforts between governments …
