The adaptivity of façades is increasingly recognized as an important functional feature to be integrated with the state-of–the-art building technology. The aim is thereby to control its reversible system states in real-time to adapt to current indoor and outdoor conditions. Concepts reported elsewhere …

The government of Ukraine has adopted the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) with clear goals and a roadmap to facilitate its energy transition towards renewable sources. This is done because of both climate concerns as well as reasons related to Ukraine’s foreign policy which led the government to decide …

Wind and solar power generation will continue to grow in the energy supply of the future, but its inherent variability (intermittency) requires appropriate energy systems for storing and using power. Storage of possibly temporary excess of power as methane from hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide is a promising …

Wind and solar power generation will continue to grow in the energy mix of the future, but its inherent variability (intermittency) requires energy systems for storing electricity. Storage of electricity as methane from (bio)hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide is considered an interesting option. The surplus …

For the company Deudekom, partner in the LEVV LOGIC project, the student have to calculate how many EV's can be charged at their location.

Plasma gasification has been studied as a new technology which may combine bio-waste treatment and energy generation. Currently, a setup for carrying out gasification experiments has been built up in order to obtain more experimental data for further research. According to previous experimental results, …

A transition of today’s energy system towards renewableresources, requires solutions to match renewable energy generationwith demand over time. These solutions include smartgrids, demand-side management and energy storage. Energycan be stored during moments of overproduction of renewableenergy and used …

To obtain large-scale sequence alignments in a fast and flexible way is an important step in the analyses of next generation sequencing data. Applications based on the Smith-Waterman (SW) algorithm are often either not fast enough, limited to dedicated tasks or not sufficiently accurate due to statistical …

In the life of flowering plants, seed germination is a critical step to ensure survival into the next generation. Generally the seed prior to germination has been in a dormant state with a low rate of metabolism. In the transition from a dormant seed to a germinating seed, various epigenetic mechanisms …
