The energy efficiency and sustainability of an anaerobic green gas production pathway was evaluated, taking into account five biomass feedstocks, optimization of the green gas production pathway, replacement of current waste management pathways by mitigation, and transport of the feedstocks. Sustainability …

Dit jaarverslagonderzoek is de 21e in een reeks die professor Sicco Santema in 1994 met zijn adviesbureau Scenter is gestart. Tegelijk dient het jaarverslagonderzoek sinds 2012 ter ondersteuning van de jury van de FD Henri Sijthoff Prijs, sinds 1953 de prijs voor in Nederland genoteerde ondernemingen …

There are a plethora of drivers of change in energy systems until 2015. The role of social and political actors is likely to be more noticeable. In Europe, locally, high-impact ideas like green consumerism and limited acceptance of energy systems that result in trade-offs will be important. Nationally, …

Patients with non-specific low back pain (LBP) may use postural control strategies that differ from healthy subjects. To study these possible differences, we measured the amount and structure of postural sway, and the response to muscle vibration in a working cohort of 215 subjects. Subjects were standing …

Lage rugklachten zijn een veel voorkomend fenomeen binnen de westerse samenleving. Aspecifieke lagerugpijn wordt gedefinieerd als rugpijn waarvoor geen aanwijsbare specifieke oorzaak te vinden is. Ook ruiters hebben last van rugklachten. Verschillende onderzoeken wijzen uit dat niet alleen een val van …

Presentation given to a delegation from the University of Oldenburg and the Research company Next Energy to explore fields of collaboration in research topics.

Within the Flexigas project a model has been constructed which can analyze the efficiency, carbon footprint and environmental impact of anaerobic biogas production chains.

Abstract written for an poster presentation at the EBA conference in Alkmaar. The flexibility of biogas makes it a very capable load balancer within decentralized smart energy systems. However, within this context the sustainability of biogas production is not fully understood. What is needed is a tool …

Abstract written to Biogas Science for oral presentation. Regarding a new methodology for determining the energy efficiency, carbon footprint and environmental impact of anaerobic biogas production pathways. Additionally, results are given regarding the impacts of energy crops and waste products used …

The effect of alterations in the processing of proprioceptive signals, on postural control, has been studied using muscle vibration effects. However, reliability and agreement of muscle vibration have still to be addressed.This study aimed to assess intra- and interday reliability and agreement of vibration …
