Van Arragon, D.T. (author)Algae have been a hot topic in recent years due to their potential for several reasons. They have been proposed as an alternative for fossil fuels, a superfood for consumers, a potential CO2 absorber to reduce green house gas emission, feedstock for nutritional and chemical industry, a waste water treatment technique and more. However, the large...master thesis 2014

Bodea, I.S. (author)CityPortUnit is an investigation into why and how architectural programs are created. Can our cities be seen as entities in synchrony, as nodes of decentralised networks and if so, how does this impact their response to changes in neighbouring or distant nodes? The project and research try to answer these question by proposing a link to...master thesis 2014

Qiu, F. (author)With rising energy consumption in the world and the depletion of fossil fuels in the near future, we have to make sure that energy security is guaranteed when conventional energy sources are depleted (BP, 2012). Nowadays, the energy we use is from fossil fuel sources and the generation of energy releases the greenhouse gas CO2 and energy is...master thesis 2014

Marcassoli, A. (author)This architectural project is set in Venice and it is an attempt to save this town from flooding and the collapsing on itself. The strategy of the project is mainly based on the use of the invasive algae that are growing in the lagoon creating ecologic disequilibria to produce energy and other kind of goods. The main focus of the project is the...master thesis 2013

Hannis, K.G. (author)Algae have been shown to be a promising source of potential biofuel, as well as other beneficial by products. The cultivation process of algae is still open to refinement, however; bioreactor design can still be optimized. One of the factors that affect light penetration through a bioreactor growing algae is cell shape. This study endeavored to...master thesis 2013

Nair, S. (author)Breakthrough innovations differ from incremental innovations in several ways. Probably the most important way in which they differ is in the level of uncertainty. Managers of breakthrough innovations need to work with high degrees of technological, market, and environmental uncertainties. TNO, which has developed a breakthrough carbon capture...master thesis 2012

Yu, B. (author)As one of the most fast growing species on earth, microalgae provides great potential to satisfy the ever increasing demand in food, energy and material in a sustainable way. The focus for this thesis work is on one of the most important bottle neck of microalgae harvest process: microalgae dewatering, by CFD modeling of the flow and...master thesis 2012

Lock, M.C. (author)Materials used for urbanized coastal structures often create a hard substra te ready to be colonized. Elastocoast, a new coastal protection material made from stones and polyurethane, is such a material. This study examined the recovery and growth during the winter of 2007-2008 of the biological community on two dykes in the Netherlands which...report 2008

Roeselers, G. (author)Biofilms are layered structures of microbial cells and an extracellular matrix of polymeric substances, associated with surfaces and interfaces. Biofilms trap nutrients for growth of the enclosed microbial community and help prevent detachment of cells from surfaces in flowing systems. Phototrophic biofilms can best be defined as surface...doctoral thesis 2007

Roeselers, G. (author), Van Loosdrecht, M.C.M. (author), Muyzer, G. (author)Phototrophic biofilms occur on surfaces exposed to light in a range of terrestrial and aquatic environments. Oxygenic phototrophs like diatoms, green algae, and cyanobacteria are the major primary producers that generate energy and reduce carbon dioxide, providing the system with organic substrates and oxygen. Photosynthesis fuels processes and...journal article 2007

De Swaaf, M.E. (author)This thesis focuses on the production of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6), an w-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid with applications in foods and pharmaceuticals, by Crypthecodinium cohnii. This chloroplastless heterotrophic marine microalga has been studied since the end of the nineteenth century and has been identified as a good producer of DHA. C....doctoral thesis 2003

Nederbragt, G. (author)This study focused on the possible relationship between seasonal variations of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) and diatom biomass. In order to determine whether a relationship exists, the effect of other parameters on these seasonal variations was also studied. This was accomplished to prevent the risk of finding a spurious relationship...master thesis 2001
