The aim for this thesis is to set up and develop electroplating technique for depositing gold layers. This gold layer will be used as an thermalisation layer in a cryogenically cooled X-ray detector. Key material parameter for the gold layer is a low thermal resistivity at cryogenic temperatures. Since …

In our vision engineering students become sustainable practitioners by focusing on their learning process instead of focusing on their engineering results. By focussing on the learning process we create a learning environment in which there will be innovation because it’s permitted (or even requested) …

The present study investigated the effect of salt (NaCl) intake on urea-N excretion by using milk urea level as an indicator. Sixteen multi-parity Dutch dairy Holsteins (daily milk production 27.74 ± 3.14 kg and body weight 654.9 ± 43.1 kg) were used in a 4x4 crossover design with treatment varying in …

Assessment of impairment and function is essential in order to monitor joint status and evaluate therapeutic interventions in patients with haemophilia. The improvements in the treatment of haemophilia have required the development of more sensitive tools to detect the more minor dysfunctions that may …

Field experiments were carried out in 1991 and 1992 on sandy soil highly infested with the potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida. Half the trial area was fumigated with nematicide to establish two levels of nematode density. Three levels of soil compaction were made by different combinations of artificial …
