In this TechForFuture project ‘Polymer Mixing in a Single Screw Extruder’ a method to optimize mixing elements is developed based on numerical simulations (Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD). A numerical procedure is developed to calculate the flow field in the extruder. By tracing particles in this …

A reflective goal-setting intervention could help students adjust to higher education, and improve their performance and well-being, as has been shown by small-scale and quasi-experimental studies conducted so far. However, a large experimental study found no effects, highlighting the importance of replication, …

‘we moeten weer even gaan kijken’. Even uit onze dagelijkse sleur gehaald worden en even kijken naar de wereld om ons heen. Wat gebeurd er door een alledaags object te vervreemden?

In de onderzoeksorganisatie is studiekeuzebegeleiding te afhankelijk van individuele leraren, terwijl het benaderd moet worden als een gemeenschappelijke verantwoordelijkheid van het hele schoolteam (Vlaams Parlement, 2018; Katholiek Onderwijs Vlaanderen, 2022). Om een krachtige brede basiszorg te creëren …

In deze paper verkennen we de rol van creatieve broedplaatsen als puntbronnen van stedelijke vernieuwing. Broedplaatsen voorzien in toegankelijke werkruimte en leveren daarmee een belangrijke bijdrage aan de culturele infrastructuur van de stad. Maar broedplaatsen zijn meer: hun kleinschalige, lokale …

European Integration qualifies as perhaps the most interesting experiment in present-day international relations. Throughout its existence, the European Union’s power as an economic, political or military actor has changed constantly. The current status of the EU has an impact on how the EU functions …

Secondary schools are well placed to avert radicalization processes toward extremism because such trajectories often begin in adolescence. Adolescents are in the process of forming their identities, and most adolescents are idealistic, which makes them susceptible to groups that passionately pursue utopian …

Reflections on a collaborative effort between engineering, social sciences, and residence in a seismic strengthening experiment in Krewerd, provincie of Groningen in the Netherlands.
