Designing lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with tailored electrical properties remains a critical challenge for various applications. In this paper we present a novel methodology integrating Machine Learning (ML) and optimization procedures to fine-tune electrical properties in lead-free (1-x) Na0.5 …

Milieucriminaliteit heeft ernstige gevolgen voor de natuur, de veiligheid en gezondheid van individuen en de economie. Onder milieucriminaliteit wordt onder meer verstaan ​​het illegaal lozen van afval in bodem of water, het dumpen van drugsafval (giftig afval afkomstig van de productie van synthetische …

Vibrational and structural properties of lead-free piezoelectric (1-x)Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3–xCaTiO3 (0 < x < 1.00) solid solutions have been investigated using Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Different anomalies were detected and analyzed taking into consideration the phase transition from rhombohedral …

An excerpt of Staying Alive, Documenting the Ugandan Cancer Institute is part of the Noorderlicht Photo Festival 2017 in Groningen, the Netherlands.

De hoofdvraag/vraagstelling van het afstudeerproject luidde als volgt: ‘’Hoe kan een multidisciplinair samenwerkingsverband opgestart worden tussen de ergotherapeuten, revalidatiearts, plastisch chirurgen, fysiotherapeuten, orthopeed en orthopedisch instrumentmakers die bij de handtherapie betrokken …

Europe’s urban economies do not look the same as ten years ago. And in ten years from now,they will again be different. The digital revolution is particularly disruptive: entire sectors are being transformed, old players are losing out, newcomers are taking over, and competition is fiercer than ever. …

The case study on Dublin (Ireland) is one of the concrete results of the URBACT workstream ‘New urban economies’, after collection of data, a study visit, and interviews with local stakeholders.

Why cities need economic intelligence The economies of Europe’s cities are changingfast, and it is not easy to predict which segmentsof the local economy will grow and which oneswill decline. Yet, cities must make decisions as towhere to invest, and face a number of questionsthat are difficultto answer:Where …

What is the triple helix? The triple helix (3H) of university-industry-government relations has become one of the most popular innovation models in the lasttwo decades. What is the relevance for cities? How can they grow their economies using triple helix approaches? What can we learnfrom cases across …

In a growing number of economic branches, citizens are becoming more active, as part-time producers, service providers, suppliers or even entrepreneurs. They compete with traditional companies, but often operate through new business models.
