The number of people suffering from chronic wounds is developing into a seriousmedical problem causing high burden on patients, healthcare system and the societyas a whole. Patients suffering from the diseases are severely impaired in theirquality of life and the treatment measures create high costs …

Within the context of the research programme “Koenst), a natural gas (methane) fuelled heater (Prototype I1) for injection moulding has been developed. When tested, the first prototype of this natural gas fuelled heater showed cracks at some specific spots, especially certain corners inside the hull. …

Thermal comfort in operating theatres is a less addressed research component of the in-door environment in operating theatres. The air quality naturally gets most attention when considering the risk of surgical site infections. However, the importance of thermal comfort must not be underestimated. In …

This work assesses the feasibility of the planar PIV technique to study the characteristics of a siloxane vapor D4. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) seeding particles were used to track the motion around a rotating disk in a low speed flow. Vector fields of natural convection (NC) and a superposition of NC and …

Since it is insufficiently clear to urban planners in the Netherlands to what extent design measures can reduce heat stress and which urban spaces are most comfortable, this study evaluates the impact of shading, urban water, and urban green on the thermal comfort of urban spaces during hot summer afternoons. …

Tijdens deze presentatie vertelde André over hoe duurzame materialen een aantrekkelijk alternatief zijn voor de synthese van “high volume” chemicaliën, inclusief aromaten. Hiernaast ging hij in op hoe BioBTX en de RUG vernieuwende en meer rendabele werkwijzen hebben bedacht om aromaten uit biomassa te …

Teachers and students need good learning environments to perform well. In this study, it is pre-supposed that the spatial properties of classrooms are important facilitators of the educational process. Ideally, school buildings in general and classrooms in particular should influence the educational …
