Huan, Z. (author), Chang, J. (author), Zhou, J. (author)A low-temperature fabrication method for highly porous bioactive scaffolds was developed. The two-step method involved the foaming of tricalcium silicate cement paste and hydration to form calcium silicate hydrate and calcium hydroxide. Scaffolds with a combination of interconnected macro- and micro-sized pores were fabricated by making use of...journal article 2009

Dekker, R (author), Kleinknecht, A.H. (author), Zhou, H (author)Firms with high shares of workers on fixed-term contracts have significantly higher sales of imitative new products but perform significantly worse on sales of innovative new products (“first on the market”). High functional flexibility in “insider-outsider” labor markets enhances a firm’s new product sales, as do training efforts and highly...working paper 2010

Zhou, Q. (author), Mayer, I.S. (author)At the science - policy interface there are several reasons to combine models with the participatory process to facilitate the complex policy making process but the communication of the two sides is often too hard to generate any meaningful results. In this paper we argue that to close the communication gap the rationale of the Meta – rule of...conference paper 2010

Huan, Z. (author), Zhou, J. (author), Duszczyk, J. (author)In this study, bioactive glass (BG, 45S5) particles were added to a biodegradable magnesium alloy(ZK30) through a semi-solid high-pressure casting process in order to improve the surface biocompatibility of the biomaterial and potentially its bioactivity. The observation of the as-cast microstructures of ZK30-BG composites indicated homogeneous...journal article 2010

Zhou, J. (author)Building new towns seems to be a rational approach that releases pressure from overly burdened large cities. This strategy was developed in Western Europe in the middle of twentieth century. Since the 1990s, the European new town model has been widely implemented in China. However, the author questions the feasibility of the large-scale, hasty...doctoral thesis 2012
