Product life extension is an increase in the utilization period of products. Design research on product life extension strategies has so far mainly focused on technical aspects of products, like ‘prevention engineering’ or ‘design for repair, maintenance and upgradability’, and on individual consumer-product relationships, like ‘design for...

WTP Gruszczyn supplies drinking water to a part of the city of Pozna?, in the Midwest of Poland. For the optimal automatic pressure control of the clear water pumping station, nine pressure measuring points were installed in the distribution network, and an active pressure control model was developed and installed. This model is a hybrid form of...

Contains basic paper plus background supplements. Areas like the Western Wadden area have a length of approximately 1/4 of a tidal wave length. Therefore tidal motion is sensible for resonance. It is investigated, under which circumstances morphological instabilities may occur. Instabilities are defined in this way, that small depth increments...

On both a strategic level and a product level a lot is known on how to integrate sustainability aspects. On the intermediate level of product portfolio management this is not true. Here the strategic sustainability goals of a company need to be translated into products. A company wanting to innovate in a green way automatically has to make...

In several studies the beneficial influence of pre-treatment of waste activated sludge with cavitation on the biogas production was demonstrated. It is however, still not fully certain whether this effect should be mainly contributed to an increase in conversion rate of organics into biogas by anaerobic bacteria, and how much cavitation...

Water supply systems are vulnerable to damage caused by unintended or intended human actions, or due to aging of the system. In order to minimize the damages and the inconvenience for the customers, a software tool was developed to detect anomalies at an early stage, and to support the responsible staff in taking the right decisions to restore...

Between 2008 and 2011, three different home energy management systems (HEMS)that give feedback on energy consumption were implemented in households in the Netherlands. Home energy management systems are defined as intermediary devices that can visualise, monitor and/or manage domestic gas and/or electricity consumption. Through a series of...

Continuous MFI type films were grown on macroporous ceramic clay-type supports. Permeation experiments were performed using a Wicke-Kallenbach experimental set-up. Applying helium as an inert carrier gas, the permeation behaviour of strongly (n-butane, isobutane), and weakly adsorbing species (neon, argon, methane) was studied at room...

Het drinkwater wordt vanaf de waterzuiveringen naar de onze huizen en bedrijven verpompt via de distributie netwerken. Deze netwerken zijn zeer uitgebreide systemen: naast elke straat en naast veel wegen en door veel weilanden liggen leidingen waardoor het water stroomt. De leeftijd van deze leidingen is divers: in jonge steden of in nieuwe...

A number of recent publications point to the important role of eco-design approaches in risk mitigation for critical materials supply. The core of eco-design is life cycle thinking – usually as some form of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach together with a set of generic guidelines such as checklists, etc. There has however been little...

The aim of this paper is to empirically examine the influence of different types of credibility on the legitimacy to grant individual actors within consortia an innovation subsidy. Theorizing from the resource dependence view and the sociology of expectations, we hypothesize that four types of credibility are related to legitimacy: scientific...
