Barges are used in order to transport all types of offshore structures and equipment. Structures which are transported are becoming larger and heavier. Therefore, there is need for barges that can handle these structures. This research will explore the possibilities to increase barge capacity by adding …

Dietary fibers are at the forefront of nutritional research because they positively contribute to human health. Much of our processed foods contain, however, only small quantities of dietary fiber, because their addition often negatively affects the taste, texture, and mouth feel. There is thus an urge …

In dit onderzoek is gekeken naar de storingverschijnselen van elektromagnetische straling op thermokoppelprobes. Deze thermokoppels worden gebruikt om de temperatuur te meten tijdens een hyperthermie behandeling. Bij hyperthermie wordt een patiënt verwarmd met elektromagnetische straling tot ongeveer …

Vanuit het overlegorgaan van Nationaal Park De Meinweg is de wens ontstaan om het nationaal park uit te breiden in de richting van het Roerdal, om zo een verbinding te maken tussen beide gebieden. Tussen deze twee gebieden ligt op dit moment een agrarisch gebied, dat aangewezen is als onderdeel van de …

A laboratory test setup is built to transfer and actively stabilize an ultrastable signal, obtained from a laser with sub-Hz linewidth, trough a 5 km long fiber link. The fiber noise is measured and compensated via a feedback loop acting on an AOM that can change the frequency (and therefore the phase) …

Single Fiber Reflectance spectroscopy (SFR) can be used to determine tissue optical properties such as scattering and absorption. The SFR technique employs a semi-empirical modal, which contains a parameter that is dependent on the fiber numerical aperture, NA . However, the NA is a wavelength dependent …

Synthetic fibers, mainly polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyamide (PA), polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and polypropylene (PP), are the most widely used polymers in the textile industry. These fibers surpass the production of natural fibers with a market share of 54.4%. The advantages of these fibers are …

Overgewicht is een groeiend probleem. Enerzijds is de mens minder gaan bewegen. Anderzijds is het voedingspatroon drastisch veranderd. De moderne mens consumeert meer (verzadigd) vet, meer dierlijke eiwitten, minder voedingsvezels en minder plantaardige eiwitten. Voedingsvezels wekken de nodige interesse …

Analysis of the bacterial flora is important for the characterization of fermentation events. They help the further validation of the “prebiotic index“ as fast and cost-effective screening of prebotic action within individuals or selected populations.

The main question this final paper wants to answer is what the opportunities are for Fiber to the Home (FttH) on the Dutch market? In answering this question the Telecompaper report of 2008 and 2009 served as an important source, although 2009 was the main focus since this information was up-to-date. First …
