Chemical fingerprinting of volatile organic compounds from asphalt binder for quantitative detection

Asphalt material is an irreplaceable material in road construction. However, it releases VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), which do cause pollution to the surrounding environment, during its full life cycle, especially in high-temperature paving stage and summer service time. Asphalt VOCs release mechanism and effective emission reduction...

道路沥青挥发性有机化合物减排材料的研究进展

Due to the complex organic properties of asphalt materials, the heating process during asphalt pavement construction will lead to the release of asphalt VOCs‧ Asphalt VOCs volatilization will cause irreversible harm to both the environment and health of construction workers‧ Researchers in the field of road construction have carried out...

Sources of Formaldehyde in U.S. Oil and Gas Production Regions

We analyzed observational and model data to study the sources of formaldehyde over oil and gas production regions and to investigate how these observations may be used to constrain oil and gas volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. The analysis of aircraft and satellite data consistently found that formaldehyde over oil and gas production...

The Dutch ‘golden age’ of Batavia: Using Johannes Vingboons’ painting as a window into the history of VOC controlled Batavia

Using Johannes Vingboons’ painting gezicht op Batavia as a window into the history of VOC controlled Batavia between 1595 - 1795. It will reveal a segment of history dominated by the Dutch. The research will be split in three main chapters that derive their topic from the different elements that are depicted in the painting.

Impact of Carpets on Indoor Air Quality

Interest in having a healthy and well-being environment has increased the awareness to improve indoor air quality (IAQ). Building materials influence the contribution of indoor air pollution, so understanding their behaviour on IAQ is essential. Among building materials, carpets cover surfaces of indoor environments and significantly impact IAQ...

Indonesië op de kaart: De rol van de Nederlandse aanwezigheid in Indonesië bij de ontwikkeling van de geodesie in Nederland

Met hun grafische weergave van de werkelijkheid hebben kaarten al eeuwenlang tot de verbeelding gesproken. Grote veranderingen rond 1800 op nationaal en koloniaal gebied hebben de wereldwijde vraag naar betrouwbare kaarten aanzienlijk doen toenemen. Met “Indonesië op de kaart” is onderzocht hoe de Indonesische archipel in de periode 1800-1990 in...

Good Hope (Memorial) Park: A future for dissonant heritage, a design for hope and democracy

This thesis and design explores the dissonance of the 17th century heritage object of the Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town. The research explains the theme of dissonant heritage together with an excerpt of the South African national history in part one. Part two explains the changes of the Castle over time, as military landscape, as object in a...

De toekomst van het lokale net: een literatuurstudie

In the Netherlands there are two local networks which run parallel to each other, namely the network of PTT and the cable-tv-network. Each of these two networks has its own characteristic properties. The system of PTT can be used for interactive narrowband communication such as telephony. Cable-tv-network has a distributive broadband character...
