Dual modification of potato starch in one step by combining annealing with ion exchange was identified as a potent strategy to influence functional starch properties. This dual modification was upscaled for food application studies and performed for both native and waxy potato starch at optimized conditions …

In times of profound technological and societal change, the capacity of family firms to innovate is critical for both performance and long-term survival. Yet innovation research often emphasizes observable outcomes, obscuring the organizational abilities that enable sustained innovation across generations. …

Medium-scale farms using anaerobic digestion must choose among different biogas utilization pathways, each with distinct technical and environmental implications. This study develops an integrated assessment framework that combines Aspen Plus process simulations with life cycle assessment in openLCA …

This study investigates the integration of biochar production with CCS as a hybrid biomass-based CDR pathway that could enhance net carbon sequestration while reducing pyrolysis-related CO2 emissions. Biochar and BECCS are often treated as separate options, even though they rely on similar biomass supply …

This thesis investigates the development of internal shear stresses in stiffened-core deep composite pile foundations, with particular focus on the FUNDEX Combi Pile system. These piles are widely used in urban environments due to their vibration-free installation and ability to perform under challenging …

IMPORTANCE: Older patients hospitalized for cardiovascular disease (CVD) are at risk of physical function decline and adverse health outcomes. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves physical functioning but is underutilized by older patients. Home-based CR potentially improves utilization, yet its effectiveness …

To broaden the application of biomethanation for energy storage and renewable integration, this study investigates the performance of a trickle-bed reactor (TBR) for hydrogen (H2) utilisation in biogas upgrading, using both pure Carbon dioxide (CO2) and biogas-derived CO2 as substrates for methane (CH4) …

Power-to-X technologies play a crucial role in accelerating the energy and material transition. A key opportunity lies in integrating these systems with existing bio-based infrastructures such as anaerobic digesters, providing a reliable source of biogenic carbon. Developing effective Power-to-Methanol …

Although attitudes toward sustainable commuting have become more positive in many countries, actual behavioral change remains slow. Meanwhile, the transport sector remains a major source of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, with significant differences in sustainability efforts between governments …

This report outlines key findings generated from evidence-based research examining the impact of spatial planning on facility management performance within the Dutch pavilion at the World Expo Osaka 2025. It addresses the recurring neglect of facility management considerations in design and construction …
