Creating long-term donor engagement in NPO WWF: exploring the use of design for behavioural influence in an online solution

Many non-profit organizations (NPO’s) in the Netherlands have lost a large amount of donors over the last years. This thesis explores the use of behavioural influence design, applied in an online solution, in order to improve donor engagement for the well-known NPO WWF. The thesis focuses at creating long-term engagement with donors in the age...

Vertical Collaboration in a Two-Level Supply Chain: An Agent-Based Modeling Approach

Collaboration in the supply chain is nowadays seen in the scientific community as the “next best thing” in supply chain optimization (Ballot, 2015; Barratt & Oliveira, 2001; Barratt, 2004; Ireland & Bruce, 2000). Although widely investigated and often mentioned in literature, the concept of supply chain collaboration is not precisely defined ...

A Clean and Flexible Catalyst Synthesis Method: Metal nanoparticles on a fractal-like nanostructured metal oxide support

A highly porous fractal-like nanostructured metal oxide catalyst support with characteristic dimensions of a few nanometers is formed by producing metal nanoparticles in the gas phase, oxidizing them and depositing/sintering them on a nanofiber network. By admixing nanoparticles in the aerosol phase, these can evenly be distributed in the...
