The global production of textiles carries a significant share in global greenhouse gas emissions, with a demand projected to grow. Especially for scope 3 emissions, materials play a significant role, with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as a dominating fibre material with unique properties. Virgin PET based on fossil oil as the conventional...

The Maldivian Islands are facing multiple challenges, including sea level rise, coastal erosion, and poor waste management. This research explores the development of a future-proof system using recycled plastic waste in order to protect the islands. The developed system includes an engineered artificial reef design, which is acting as wave...

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) can solve a lot of problems related to traffic safety, comfort and congestion. While the sensors used by these vehicles are getting cheaper, more accurate, and software is improving, the first completely automated vehicle does not exist yet. When AVs start gradually driving on the roads, there will be a mixed traffic...

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms with a worldwide incidence of one or two per 100,000. The tumours affect the entire gastrointestinal tract, but most commonly the stomach and small intestine. Neoadjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are administered in a selection of GIST patients to attain size...

Traffic congestion and undeveloped public transport define the modus operandi in Kampala, the capital city of Uganda. Most people see motorcycles as a solution to escape the growing traffic congestion and poor public transport. This study thus aimed to determine the traffic efficiency and safety effectiveness of introducing motorcycle dedicated...

In 2018, the ‘Deltaplan Ruimtelijke Adaptatie’, has been set up by the National Institute of Health and Environment (RIVM) for the purpose of facilitating the transformation to a climate adaptive living environment. As part of the Deltaplan, municipalities have been asked to perform a heat risk assessment through standardised outdoor thermal...

Climate change causes cities to deal with increased temperatures and more frequent weather extremes. Heat waves will occur more often, becoming a more prevalent issue in especially urban areas. The quantification of heat stress is a first step to define mitigation measures. For that purpose, a standardised method to assess the spatial influence...

Introduction: In daily practice, at interventional radiology (IR), percutaneous needle placement (e.g. biopsy and ablation) is generally performed under real time guidance of morphological imaging (US or CT). However, in some cases obtaining representative specimen can be challenging causing repeated biopsies or shift to open procedures. And so...

The drainage time of liquid-filled PET bottles can be greatly reduced by pre-rotating the bottle with a certain angular velocity. Depending on the magnitude of the angular velocity, up to four different flow regimes can be distinguished during the emptying of a bottle: bubble regime, transition regime, vortex<br/>regime and the swirl regime. At...

To limit increasing heat problems in cities, green areas are being implemented in the urban context. Since space is often scarce, an opportunity lies in the use of green facades. This research has investigated the cooling effect of natural green facades in the form of He¬dera helix. Both the effect on thermal comfort inside and outside buildings...
