Standard mass-production is a well-known manufacturing concept. To make small quantities or even single items of a product according to user specifications at an affordable price, alternative agile production paradigms should be investigated and developed. The system presented in this paper is based …

This article explores the nature of innovative employer‐oriented activation policies, which aim to influence employers’ willingness to hire or possibly train and guide the unemployed. These policies may focus on responsibilities with regards to activation, which offer services to employers or provide …

Decentralized biogas produced through co-digestion of biomass can play an important role in our future renewable energy mix. However the optimal design, planning and use of a biogas production chain is a daunting process. When looking into a biogas production chain one must take into account, first, …

The number of employees above 50 is increasing in organizations because of demographic changes. People above 50 feel less involved in work and societal activities as they should be and as they are expected to be. Older workers‟ employment is accompanied by stereotyping that workers are less productive …

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 …

When it comes to hard to solve problems, the significance of situational knowledge construction and network coordination must not be underrated. Professional deliberation is directed toward understanding, acting and analysis. We need smart and flexible ways to direct systems information from practice …

For the simulation of a flexible helicopter rotor system the Euler equations for a rotating and translating beam structure are derived using the Finite Element technique. Using the displacements and velocities of a beam element which has an airfoil shaped cross section the aerodynamic forces and moments …

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 …

Poster displayed at the BC&E conference in Hamburg 2014, regarding the Flexigas Simulator, a map based model for designing and planning biogas production chains.

The main challenge of today’s musicians and music educators trained in our conservatoires and music academies is navigating in a rapidly changing cultural landscape. In short, these changes are helping to shape a very different workplace for musicians and music educators. Flexible portfolio careers are …
