Nature-based strategies, such as wave attenuation by tidal marshes, are increasingly proposed as a complement to mitigate the risks of failure of engineered flood defense structures such as levees. However, recent analysis of historic coastal storms revealed smaller dike breach dimensions if there were …

The quantification and identification of new plasmid-acquiring bacteria in representative mating conditions is critical to characterize the risk of horizontal gene transfer in the environment. This study aimed to quantify conjugation events resulting from manure application to soils and identify the …

The need for increasing further the penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) is demanding a change in the way distribution grids are managed. In particular, the RESs intermittent and stochastic nature is finding in Battery Energy Storage (BES) systems its most immediate countermeasure. This work …

In het project AutoFlex-QRM, dat staat voor Automatisering van Flexibele Quick Response Manufacturing is kennis ontwikkeld om te komen tot een geautomatiseerde flexibele ‘single-piece-flow’ productiefaciliteit. Leidraad hierbij is de Quick Response Manufacturing-methode, waarbij doorlooptijdverkorting …

Canalisation of the Liesbeek River has resulted in a deterioration of its ecosystem. In order to stop the deterioration of the Liesbeek River. The Rosebank village green area of the Liesbeek River is being rehabilitated. However, it is not known how the hydrology and morphology of the Liesbeek River …

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) occurs in approximately 80-85% of all lung cancer patients and has a 5-year overall survival (OS) of only 15-20%. In this study, 29 NSCLC patients received neoadjuvant treatment with Chemoradiotherapy, Nivolumab, and Ipilimumab. This study aimed to investigate the effects …

Our study elucidates relational value creation and appropriation in collaborative networks for sustainability (CNfS), which focus on grand societal challenges and include a multiplicity and diversity of actors. Using a relational view lens, we conducted a longitudinal, multiple case, field study of collaborative …

This report described the whole process of designing an EC meter system in a continuous project: MFM EC meter. From the designing until the testing, detailed explanation about every part will be mentioned. From a view of engineering student, the report starting from introduction of the assignment and …

Swales are widely used Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) that can reduce peak flow, collect and retain water and improve groundwater recharge. Most previous research has focused on the unsaturated infiltration rates of swales without considering the variation in infiltration rates under extreme …
