In the search for low greenhouse gas propulsion, the dual fuel engine provides a solution to use low carbon fuel at diesel-like high efficiency. Also a lower emission of NOx and particles can be achieved by replacing a substantial part of the diesel fuel by for example natural gas. Limitations can be …

RATIONALE: Disturbed protein metabolism may result in malnutrition. A non-invasive low cost clinical tool to measure protein metabolism is lacking. Explorative research (n=1) with a newly developed non-invasive 13C-protein breath test suggested a decrease in protein oxidation after a protein restricted …

This research thesis was compiled by Andreas Kullmann, a student who is studying International Business and Management Studies at the University of Applied Sciences Zeeland in Vlissingen, Netherlands. The research was conducted under LA ROSSA’s new business unit called LA ROSSA-Technologies, LDA. which …

In this report, the further optimization of the PMI method is investigated and the possibility to act as an alternative method for the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) in wastewater is discussed. In this study the oxidation efficiency of the PMI method is improved by optimizing the oxidation time, concentration …

Introduction: The kinetics of protein oxidation, monitored in breath, and its contribution to the whole body protein status is not well established. Objectives: To analyze protein oxidation in various metabolic conditions we developed/validated a 13C-protein oxidation breath test using low enriched milk …

Abstract A setup is designed and constructed to perform specular reectance spectroscopy on an enzymatic reaction, while simultaneously monitoring the heat produced by the reaction using a FLIR camera. The spectrum of ethanol was recorded using two MCT detectors and showed clear overlap with literature …

In dit afstudeerrapport is gepoogd antwoord te krijgen op de vraag hoe innovaties om bodemdaling in het Groene Hart te reduceren in gang kunnen worden gezet. In het onderzoek is gekeken naar de mogelijkheden die er zijn om innovaties die als doel hebben de bodemdaling in het veenweidegebied te reduceren, …

Green tea, particularly epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), may affect body weight and composition, possibly by enhancing fat oxidation. The aim of this double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled cross-over study was to investigate whether 3-day supplementation with EGCG (282 mg/day) stimulates fat oxidation …

Using stable isotope techniques, this study shows that plasma free fatty acid oxidation is not impaired during exercise in non-obese type II diabetic patients.
