Bio-aromatics (benzene, toluene, xylenes, BTX) were prepared by the catalytic pyrolysis of six different black liquors using both in situ and ex situ approaches. A wide range of catalysts was screened and conditions were optimized in microscale reactors. Up to 7 wt % of BTX, based on the organic fraction …

We report on a first field test in which miniaturized sensor motes were used to explore and inspect an operational pipeline by performing in situ measurements. The spherical sensor motes with a diameter of 39 mm were equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) measuring 3-D acceleration, rotation, …

Pronatie en supinatie zijn bewegingen om een fysiologische as in de enkel. Wanneer deze bewegingen plaatsvinden om de compromis-as zoals beschreven door Isman & Inman (1969) kunnen spieren worden ingedeeld in pronatoren en supinatoren.

Over the past decades increased urbanization has created more pressure - not only on the suburban outskirts - but also in the inner core of the cities, putting important environmental issues such as water management and cultural heritage under …

Workshop paper Taking an embodied perspective, we report on the design of two interactive products aimed at empowering people with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder in coping with challenges of everyday life. Our Research-through-Design study combined theory with hands-on co-design work and in situ …

Gezondheid van dieren staat hoog in het vaandel bij Diergaarde Blijdorp. Binnen dit onderzoek is fruit uit diëten van verschillende primaten verwijderd. Er bestaan verschillen tussen gekweekt fruit en wild fruit. Gekweekt fruit bevat over het algemeen meer suikers in een andere samenstelling. Het vezelgehalte …

Currently, a series of promising new tools are under development that will enable crime scene investigators (CSIs) to analyze traces in situ during the crime scene investigation or enable them to detect blood and provide information on the age of blood. An experiment is conducted with thirty CSIs investigating …

Achtergrond De aanvraag voor dit onderzoek is tot stand gekomen vanuit de huidige praktijksituatie. Uit praktijkervaring heerst er bij de opdrachtgever het vermoeden dat de voorlichting betref-fende bloedtransfusie onvoldoende conform protocol wordt uitgevoerd. Dit betekent dat de patiënt niet altijd …
