This study presents a detailed buckling analysis of laminated composites reinforced by multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) inclusions using a multiscale computational framework. It combines multiple analytical and computational techniques to assess the performance of these composites under varying hygro-thermo-mechanical …

To enhance our understanding of forest carbon sequestration, climate change mitigation and drought impact on forest ecosystems, the availability of high-resolution annual forest growth maps based on tree-ring width (TRW) would provide a significant advancement to the field. Site-specific characteristics, …

Nederland heeft de doelstelling om in 2050 klimaatneutraal te zijn. Dit streven staat ook hoog op de agenda van het bedrijfsleven en bij consumenten, maar het vereist grote inspanning. Een verkenning van de mogelijkheden.

Background Refrigerated containers or 'reefers' are essential for transporting fresh fruit and vegetables in transnational supply chains. By refrigeration, they ensure that food quality is better preserved and food losses are reduced. Countries that produce fresh produce also unlock new markets for export …

Ecosystems shaped by habitat-modifying organisms such as reefs, vegetated coastal systems and peatlands, provide valuable ecosystem services, such as carbon storage and coastal protection. However, they are declining worldwide. Ecosystem restoration is a key tool for mitigating these losses but has proven …

Article Evaluation of a Commercial Electronic Nose Based on Carbon Nanotube Chemiresistors

Recent studies have shown that the climate is seeing a rapid change, causing amongst other sea level rise. Although the protection standards for conventional flood protection are generally high in The Netherlands, flood protection experts from government, research and industry are exploring alternative …

Steam generating heat pumps show great potential for reducing carbon emissions in the industrial sector. However, predicting their performance is challenging as the exergy destruction of e.g., compressors and expansion valves increases with the temperature lift and condenser temperature. With over seventy …

In 2016 is er in Parijs het Klimaatakkoord ondertekend door de Europese Unie. In dit akkoord staat dat de opwarming van de aarde beperkt dient te worden tot onder de 2 graden Celsius met duidelijk zicht op 1.5 graden Celsius. Hierover zijn doelen afgesproken om in 2030 55% minder uit te stoten en in …
