Het doel van dit onderzoek was om statistisch een benadering te maken van de optimale bodembedekking voor tarbot in de raceways van Seafarm. Het is van belang dat de kweek duurzaam verloopt, zodat het welzijn van de tarbot niet verkeken wordt, maar er moet ook voldoende productie zijn dat de handel winstgevend …

This paper is aimed at understanding the role Miscanthus x giganteus has in the strength development of concrete. The use of natural fibres to reinforce brittle materials is not a novel idea, but its use has been limited. This paper is designed to provide more knowledge on the topic of natural fibre …

The following research justification report shows to which extent The Garage Innovation Studio needs to adapt its operations to make it a more appealing and viable replacement option for HZ students going on their minor, internship, or apprenticeship. Meeting the expectations and satisfying the needs …

Implementation of reliable methodologies allowing Reduction, Refinement, and Replacement (3Rs) of animal testing is a process that takes several decades and is still not complete. Reliable methods are essential for regulatory hazard assessment of chemicals where differences in test protocol can influence …

This study evaluated the performance of anaerobic co-digestion of cow manure (CM) and sheep manure (SM) in both batch and continuous digesters at 37 °C. Synergistic effects of co-digesting CM and SM at varying volatile solids (VS) ratios (1:0, 0:1, 3:1, 1:1, 1:3) were observed in the batch experiment, …

Waste disposal management and the energy crisis are important challenges facing most countries. The fruit-processing industry generates daily several tons of wastes, of which the major share comes from banana farms. Anaerobic digestion (AD) technology has been applied to the treatment of wastewater, …

Herein, Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is considered as an easy and cheap to prepare alternative catalyst for the isomerization of glucose and production of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF). For the synthesis of the ZIF-8 catalysts two preparation methods were evaluated, being room temperature …

This report discusses the easy and cheap preparation of SnCl2 exchanged Brønsted acidic Amberlyst-15 ion exchange resin prepared by ion exchange of an aqueous SnCl2 solution at room temperature. The prepared materials were tested in the conversion of sugars, being glucose, fructose and saccharose to …

Dit afstudeeronderzoek is uitgevoerd bij Ingenieursbureau Witteveen + Bos, bij de groep Havenconstructies. Deze groep is voornamelijk bezig met het berekenen van kademuren. Tot op heden worden er veelal stalen wanden (damwanden, combiwanden) of diepwanden gebruikt voor het realiseren van de grote grondkerende …
