This paper revisits how and why new multinational knowledge-based strategies and multi-level governmental policies influence the upgrading process of regions in developing economies. Automotive multinationals traditionally exploited local asset conditions, but it is shown that they have also been contributing …

The scope of this investigation is the development and testing of a new type of greenhouse with an integrated linear Fresnel lens, receiver module and an innovative system for tracking to exploiting all direct radiation in a solar energy system. …

A new type of greenhouse with linear Fresnel lenses in the cover performing as a concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) system is presented. The CPV system retains all direct solar radiation, while diffuse solar radiation passes through and enters into the greenhouse cultivation system. The removal of all direct …

Performance results are given of a new type of greenhouse, which combines reflection of near infrared radiation (NIR) with electrical power generation using hybrid photovoltaic cell/thermal collector modules. Besides the generation of electrical and thermal energy, the reflection of the NIR will result …

De overheid streeft naar een meer doorlopend en kwalitatief goed onderwijsaanbod met name voor kinderen die zorg behoeven. Dit zogenaamde Passend Onderwijs vraagt dat leerkrachten in ieder geval milde gedragsproblemen kunnen hanteren in de klas (OCW, 2008). Daarover gaat de inhoud van deze rede. Wat …

De toepassing van een kwaliteitssysteem in het onderwijs, gericht op doelen stellen, terugkoppeling geven en bekrachtigen.
