SBM Schiedam is active in the design, engineering and construction of Floating Production Storage and O oading (FPSO) ships. Currently SBM has a few projects for Petrobras. Purpose of an FPSO is to produce oil from a subsea oil eld. The FPSO production process is split over di erent modules which can …

Nuclear fusion is seen as one of the future technologies for roducing electrical power. In a hot and con ned plasma deuterium and tritium will melt together and form a helium nucleus and a neutron. This process produces a total of 17.6 MeV energy. In the plasma instabilities occur. Suppression of these …

The recently developed HyperCollar applicator was specifically designed to heat tumors in the head and neck region. The applicator uses twelve antennas to create an EM interference pattern, which applies heat to the target area. Patients' position and movement needs to be tightly monitored and controlled …

This paper shows how locally available biomass is used to its full potential as source for renewable energy and bio-based products with a multidimensional integrated approach. The use of locally available biomass streams, which are currently hardly or not optimally used, is the center of the project …

In this report the properties of the E-field sheet have been measured. Also the connection between the E-field sheet and the pc has been developed. For visualisation of the data a GUI has been made in Matlab which also reads out the data from the DAQ card. Before a measurement on the clinical equipment …

The adaptive approach to thermal comfort has gained unprecedented exposure and rising status recently among the thermal comfort community at the apparent expense of the heat balance approach for the evaluation of naturally ventilated buildings. The main appeal of this adaptive approach lies in its simplicity …

In this paper the design and development of a new type of greenhouse with an integrated filter for reflecting near infrared radiation (NIR) and a solar energy delivery system is described. Especially the optical parts as the spectral selective film, the properties of the circular reflector and the efficiencies …

A greenhouse with Fresnel lenses in the south facing roof and a receiver for concentrated Photovoltaics with water cooling (CPVT system) will result in electrical and thermal energy output from the solar energy excess entering a greenhouse. The PV system converts about half of the direct radiation into …

In previous research a new type of greenhouse with an integrated concentrated photovoltaic system (CPV) was developed based on a circular covering geometry and an integrated filter for reflecting the near infrared radiation (NIR) of the greenhouse and exploiting this radiation in a solar energy system. …

Methods to design viable business networks (BNs) treat the concept of viability merely in terms of profitability. Further, the methods are restricted to mono-commodity (a single product or a service) BNs. However, business literature suggests that besides economic value (profit), non-economic values …
