Nowadays, composites are mainly produced via petroleum derived chemicals. In a world where petroleum resources are running out, it is essential to find viable options for the replacement of these reserves. Biocomposites are already exploited but they appear to have low resistance to weathering. This …

Microfluidic devices have the potential to adopt more accurate physiological conditions of the human intestine through the use of continuous flow and by producing mechanical stress to the cells. This study evaluated the translocation properties of a microfluidic gut-on-chip device in comparison with …

Dit rapport verschaft inzicht in de vraag waarom de internationalisering van het noordelijk MKB achterblijft bij de rest van het land en bevat aanbevelingen op basis waarvan de regionale overheden en kennisinstellingen hun beleid om deze achterstand op te heffen effectiever kunnen maken.

Het laboratorium van de ziekenhuisapotheek van het OLVG bepaalt de concentratie van 13 antidepressiva in serum met behulp van de techniek LC-MS2. Alle antidepressiva worden nu met verschillende analysemethode geanalyseerd. Het laboratorium wil graag één uniforme multicomponent analysemethode voor het …

Plasma gasification has been studied as a new technology which may combine bio-waste treatment and energy generation. Currently, a setup for carrying out gasification experiments has been built up in order to obtain more experimental data for further research. According to previous experimental results, …

Background Oleaginous yeast species are an alternative for the production of lipids or triacylglycerides (TAGs). These yeasts are usually non-pathogenic and able to store TAGs ranging from 20 % to 70 % of their cell mass depending on culture conditions. TAGs originating from oleaginous yeasts can be …

Result of the study on the exposure of imidacloprid on Lymnaea stagnails, have led to this study. The results indicate that imidacloprid might be metabolized to other components. Therefore the aim of the study was two folded: 1. To develop a method for the quantification of imidacloprid and its metabolites. …
