The focus of this research is to optimize the bio-concrete mixture design containing natural plant-based fibres as well as to investigate and describe the properties of the developed materials. The main goal of the project is to produce a bio-concrete design that is sufficient to be used as an insulation …

This paper is aimed at understanding the role Miscanthus x giganteus has in the strength development of concrete. The use of natural fibres to reinforce brittle materials is not a novel idea, but its use has been limited. This paper is designed to provide more knowledge on the topic of natural fibre …

Currently, the amount of post-consumer textile waste is growing. Unfortunately, the European recycling infrastructure is lacking, preventing efficient recycling operations. It is still difficult to set up production lines of high-quality products with shredded textile waste fibres, yet the demand for …

Inleiding: Tegenwoordig wordt er gestreefd naar fysiotherapeutische behandeltechnieken met wetenschappelijk bewijs. Er is nog weinig bekend over welke fysiotherapeutische oefeningen door een 100 meter sprinter het beste uitgevoerd kunnen worden om sporthervatting soepel te laten verlopen. Een van de …

Immunofluorescence microscopy in this study shows that GLUT-4 protein expression is fibre-type specific within a muscle. It is postulated that both fibre-type-dependent and fibre-type-independent factors affect GLUT-4 expression.
