The internet is becoming a tightly interwoven part of our everyday lives. There is a growing market for web services which augment the daily life of users trough products with an internet connection. We call these real world extensions of the web embedded media. In the last couple of years we explored …

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 …

Model calculations and the few data that are available show that over 100 L water condense yearly on each square meter of a greenhouse cover. It is known that the presence of condensate reduces light transmission. This effect is suppressed to some extent by adding film-forming (anti-drop) additives to …

In this paper, we will argue that developments in social media in the past few years open up an opportunity space for developing "integration software". Such software supports company specific use cases, while the software expands on existing social media infrastructure through web API's. We have explored …

Het loslaten van het concept “afval” wordt door Loesje treffend verwoord: “Waarom afval produceren als je het toch weggooit?”. Cradle to Cradle sluit hier op aan: producten moeten zodanig ontwikkeld worden dat deze na gebruik als grondstof kunnen dienen voor een nieuw product in de kringloop. De vraag …

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 …

Het inleidende artikel van de auteurs over Cradle to Cradle in de Zorg is verschenen in januari 2009, het artikel over Cradle to Cradle in de Zorg, “De Verpleegkamer” is verschenen in FMT 8/9 2010. In een latere uitgave van FMT zal het onderzoek naar een couveuse worden gepubliceerd. In het onderzoek …

A new CPV system with a static linear Fresnel lens, silicon PV module suitable for concentrated radiation and an innovative tracking system is integrated in a greenhouse covering. The basic idea of this horticultural application is to develop a greenhouse for pot plants (typical shadow plants) which …
