In the packaging industry, there are certain criteria that characterize whether a package is sustainable or not. Thus, the design of the product is decided by satisfying the aforementioned criteria. However, when the whole supply chain is under study, the process is not so straightforward and the related science field is Sustainable Supply Chain...

Essence of the research<br/>This research thesis was built on the idea that the city identity should be developed by the citizens when rebuilding a city after disaster. This idea stems from the intertwined triangle of government, business, and society, where the psychological needs of the citizens are most underestimated. The citizen-centred...

On a daily basis we (in) directly make use of functions of various infrastructures: we drive on roads and bridges or we live without worries behind the safety of a dike. Only when there are cracks in the dike or a particular bridge is not accessible due to for example a broken pillar, we realize how critical these infrastructures are for our...

Play objects designed for for rebellious play offer possibilities for physically and socially active play and derives its play value from balancing rebellion and conformism, rulemaking and rule-breaking. In doing so it is aimed to provide a setting where children can behave in ways that may not normally be stimulated. playing with a rebellious...

Building a working quantum computer brings many challenges to overcome. For quanum processors, promising qubits seem to be NV-centres in diamond. Such processor is divided into processing units (PUs), each comprising an NV-centre with several carbon spin qubits, and they are interconnected with each other by optical links. The qubits within a PU...

In this research, we studied the impact of the 5'UTR sequences on translation. This is done by generating various features describing the 5'UTR. Those features are then used as input in regression and classification models, that have the Translation Initiation Rates as target. The reason why it is of such importance, is dual. Because is very...

Lighting systems are attracting many researchers and companies to investigate the potential of light beyond illumination, by creating new smart illumination systems or developing indoor positioning methods. The main challenge in realizing novel systems is to process light information in such a way that new insights are discovered. There are...

Many regions in the world depend heavily on expensive desalinated water for fresh water consumption, in particular tropical areas. Current mainstream desalination technologies (Reverse Osmosis and Multi-Stage Flash Evaporation) are quite energy intensive and thus costly. Today’s challenge is to design a desalination system that could run with...

The accuracy of modelling distribution networks plays a very important role in analysing the stability of transmission systems. In recent years, due to the surge in the integration of renewable energy resources via power electronic interfaces, distribution networks are evolving from passive networks to modern active networks. This means that...

Atherosclerosis, the chronic inflammation of the arterial wall, is one of the leading causes of death in the western societies. Which is characterized by the accumulation of inflammatory macrophages and necrotic regions in the intima. Rupture of the plaque can lead to thrombosis, a blood clot in the blood vessel, blocking the natural flow of the...

Growing demand for larger accommodation rooms in superyachts result in larger deck spans at the cost of increased height of deck structures. (Conventional) aluminium poses a practical limit due to its relatively low stiffness, whereas composites are deemed overly expensive and unsafe in case of a fire. Composite stiffening of the primary...

This thesis assesses the empirical differences between citizen and consumer preferences for (non-market) environmental impacts of government financed renewable energy farms, by designing citizen-based and consumer-based discrete choice experiments. The results indicate that to some extent citizens and consumers make different trade-offs between...

The wind energy industry is growing more than ever before and wind energy as a renewable energy source has shown quite a potential over the years. Unfortunately, the power yield of a wind farm can fluctuate largely over time, which originates from fluctuating wind speed magnitudes. Convection of air, turbulence, humidity and radiation of heat are...
