The simultaneous analysis of a broad range of polar ionogenic metabolites using capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) can be challenging, as two different analytical methods are often required, that is, one for cations and one for anions. Even though CE-MS has shown to be an effective method …

The Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) sector is responsible for a large part of the total worldwide energy consumption, a significant part of which is caused by incorrect operation of controls and maintenance. HVAC systems are becoming increasingly complex, especially due to multi-commodity …

The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic still poses serious threats to global public health. Therefore, the scientific community is desperately looking for suitable vaccines and pharmacological treatment options. This thesis completes the internship at Specs Compound Handling BV and describes …

The rapid implementation of large scale floating solar panels has consequences to water quality and local ecosystems. Environmental impacts depend on the dimensions, design and proportions of the system in relation to the size of the surface water, as well as the characteristics of the water system (currents, …

BACKGROUND: Recovery trajectories differ between individual patients and it is hypothesizes that they can be used to predict if an individual patient is likely to recover earlier or later. Primary aim of this study was to determine if it is possible to identify recovery trajectories for physical functioning …

Infosheet. When high water is expected, levee managers need to make sure that there are no weak spots on the levee that can compromise its structural integrity. Animal burrows on a section can constitute weak spots that have to be urgently repaired in anticipation of high water. Within the context of …

Infosheet. Within the context of animal burrows surveys that took place in the test season 2021-2022 in the living lab Hedwige-Prosperpolder, an experimental setup with smoke bombs was developed to verify whether detected burrows by small rodents are interconnected in the subsurface. By injecting colored …

Current methods for energy diagnosis in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are not consistent with process and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) as used by engineers to design and operate these systems, leading to very limited application of energy performance diagnosis in practice. …

The cow’s milk consumption is declining in the Netherlands, whereas dietary trends showed a growing demand for plant-based milk. Due to the rise of conscious consumerism, plant-based milk products became more attractive towards the millennials. Research was needed to indicate values for fresh cow’s milk …

Authors in previous studies pointed out that the professional competences of managers overlap with the competences and skills that are attributed to entrepreneurs. The goal of this study is to analyze the correlation between the actual market demand for competences to develop new businesses and the competence …
