One might wonder how intuitive art can connect to neuroscience and how this could be accomplished. In this descriptive article, research connecting art therapy and neuroscience has been collected and a workshop on Intuitive Painting has been described in detail. The connection was made by the author …

Bij een olieramp op de Waddenzee zal de ecologie snel getroffen worden en is een snelle reactie vereist om de gevolgen te beperken. Vogels zullen de olie meestal niet vermijden en kunnen makkelijk overlijden als deze in aanraking komen met olie. De Waddenzee komt tweemaal daags grotendeels droog te liggen …

Floating wetland treatment systems (FWTS) are an innovative stormwater treatment technology currently being trialled on a larger scale in Australia. FWTS provide support for selected plant species to remove pollutants from stormwater discharged into a water body. The plant roots provide large surface …

Storm sewers are known to significantly contribute to annual pollutant loads to receiving water bodies. The storm sewers of the city of Almere discharge the stormwater of 1384 ha of impervious area via 700 storm sewer outfalls (SSOs) to the local receiving water system. This water system suffers from …

Posidonia oceanica is a species of seagrass endemic to the Mediterranean Sea where it grows either in patchy patterns or forms extensive meadows, at up to 50m of depth. The species has great ecological and economical value. It provides a habitat and nursing ground for many marine fauna species and fixates …

The goal of this thesis has been to test Phoslock® as an artificial tracer that can be used as a time marker in the sediment. The application of Phoslock® is a method to restore a lake by removing phosphate from water. Phoslock® consists of bentonite and lanthanum. It was decided to test Phoslock® because …

The Barsnesfjord is located near the small town of Sogndal in Western Norway. A 9 m deep sill separates the periodically anoxic, 82 m deep Barsnesfjord from the oxic, 260 m deep Sogndalsfjord. On this 9 m deep sill the Loftesnes Bridge was built in 1958 and connects Sogndal with Loftesnes. Starting in …

Stormwaters, flowing into storm sewers, are known to significantly increase the annual pollutant loads entering urban receiving waters and this results in significant degradation of the receiving water quality. Knowledge of the characteristics of stormwater pollution enables urban planners to incorporate …

This research was done in the Land Dynamic group of Wageningen University between February and June of 2012. The research is mainly focused on analysis of whether land use/cover change (LUCC) influences sediment discharge and stream flow in the upstream regions of the Beiluo River, China. Five methods …

Een Self Supporting River System (SSRS) zet zich in op de betaalbaarheid van beheer en onderhoud. Om de doelstellingen van veiligheid tegen overstromingen en ruimtelijke kwaliteit te realiseren is in vervolg op de uit te voeren inrichtingsmaatregelen een specifiek beheer noodzakelijk. Bij dit specifieke …
