Light is a form of energy produced by a luminous object which occurs as electromagnetic radiation and is closely related to other forms like radio waves, microwaves, gamma rays, infrared, UV and X radiation. The different kinds of radiation can be classified by using wavelengths. Only a small section …

Creating a crawling service and bypassing captchas

Growth conditions have been frequently studied in optimizing polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production, while few studies were performed to unravel the dynamic mixed microbial consortia (MMCs) in the process. In this study, the relationship between growth conditions (C/N ratios and pH) and the corresponding …

Cut, cooled, packed, transported and traded all over the world, flowers represent a showcase of a worldwide integrated trade-logistics system. As one of the most perishable, vulnerable and time-critical products, speed is everything in harvesting, moving and trading of flowers. In the international trade …

Decomposition is an ecosystem process, mainly important in the carbon and nitrogen cycles. When looking at what drives decomposition, there are three major drivers. These are plant litter quality, microbes and soil animals (detritivores). A large problem in understanding the decomposition process is …

This study has been conducted to estimate the ecological impact of wild harvesting Ulva spp. biomass on its population in the Dutch Wadden Sea. The purpose is to give an advice about the ideal time (on the level of population recovery) to wild harvest 1000 kilogram Ulva spp. from the Dutch Wadden Sea. …

Internet of Things (IoT) is tagging low power devices, miniaturized, with machine-readable identification tags, which are integrated with sensors to collect information and wireless technology to connect them with the Internet. These devices have a very low energy usage. Powering these devices with battery …

This project started with a fascination by the concept of ‘feeling at home’. How does that work for homeless who don’t have a physical space to call home? To me, my role as an architect is to put social issues on the agenda and investigate spatial circular solutions. Even in our modern society, homelessness …
