This save-system is vital to the Traingineers project, but due to the chaotic development cycle of the project, it has not yet been implemented. Traingineers started off as a prototype. After this prototype was accepted another one was made, reusing the old code, and then again. Through multiple re-iterations …

Concrete is arguably the most widely used building material in the world today. Current estimates of world cement manufacture are of the order of 1.7*109 tons per year, enough to produce well over 6 km3 of concrete per year or at least 1 m3 per person (Gartner, 2004). It is a composite material made …

Multi-faceted tasks can be completed in a linear start-to-finish fashion, or by completing the different facets parallel to each other. Either way, at some point the final additions and adjustments are made such that all the pieces fit together, and the task is completed properly. For example, baking …

The Eastern Scheldt faces sand starvation as a result of the Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier construction, which has led to a decreased tidal prism and subsequent loss of intertidal areas. These areas are crucial for birds and seals to rest and forage for food. To address this issue, Rijkswaterstaat …

Aviation is indispensable for global transportation and economic growth. One promising solution to its environmental concerns is developing biofuels derived from oil seeds like Brasica carinate (B. carinata). Adopting responsible nitrogen application practices during the cultivation of B. carinata mitigate …
