Broeken, S. (author)In the pet product market a gap has been noticed in the Dutch field of domestic cat products. Variation in cat perching solutions (commonly referred to as cat trees or scratch posts) has been limited. Almost all products look the same: plush levels connected with sisal posts. To seize this opportunity a new product with an original appearance,...master thesis 2013

Arifvianto, B. (author), Zhou, J. (author)Bone tissue engineering has been increasingly studied as an alternative approach to bone defect reconstruction. In this approach, new bone cells are stimulated to grow and heal the defect with the aid of a scaffold that serves as a medium for bone cell formation and growth. Scaffolds made of metallic materials have preferably been chosen for...journal article 2014

Patsis, K. (author)The goal of this study was to dive into the novel techniques associated with the use of the available Third Generation DNA Sequencing (TGS) platform, PacBio. This 3-year old technology sounded promising right from the beginning but its groundbreaking attributes, like length and error content, required unconventional handling to yield worthwhile...master thesis 2014

(author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author), Weinans, H.H. (author), Jahr, H. (author)Regeneration of load-bearing segmental bone defects is a major challenge in trauma and orthopaedic surgery. The ideal bone graft substitute is a biomaterial that provides immediate mechanical stability, while stimulating bone regeneration to completely bridge defects over a short period. Therefore, selective laser melted porous titanium,...journal article 2015

Alexandrescu, Maria (author), Forgaci, C. (author), Ionescu, Ioana (author)Landscape architecture, landscape urbanism, and urbanism provide a number of tools, methods, and techniques for the design of the built and unbuilt urban landscape. The interplay of these techniques is left up to the designers, and the resulting range of projects associated with the terms is broad and inconsistent. This paper proposes Urban...conference paper 2016

(author), Weinans, Harrie (author), Jahr, H. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)An ideal bone substituting material should be bone-mimicking in terms of mechanical properties, present a precisely controlled and fully interconnected porous structure, and degrade in the human body to allow for full regeneration of large bony defects. However, simultaneously satisfying all these three requirements has so far been highly...journal article 2017

Zhang, X.Y. (author), Fang, G (author), Zhou, J. (author)Additive manufacturing (AM), nowadays commonly known as 3D printing, is a revolutionary materials processing technology, particularly suitable for the production of low-volume parts with high shape complexities and often with multiple functions. As such, it holds great promise for the fabrication of patient-specific implants. In recent years,...journal article 2017

Hedayati, R. (author), Amin Yavari, S. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Additively manufactured porous titanium implants, in addition to preserving the excellent biocompatible properties of titanium, have very small stiffness values comparable to those of natural bones. Although usually loaded in compression, biomedical implants can also be under tensional, shear, and bending loads which leads to crack initiation...journal article 2017

Bogers, Janna (author)Metal nanoparticles have promising potential for use in medical applications, such as imaging or targeted drug delivery. Current methods of production of nanoparticles are expensive and make use of harsh reagents. Because of these limitations, nanoparticles are not yet widely available, limiting the use in medical applications. To commercialize...bachelor thesis 2017

Arifvianto, B. (author)Loss of function and impaired life quality as a result of large bone defects remain a serious problem in the society. Basically, the bone tissue has the capability of healing by itself when fractured. However, impaired healing may occur, leading to delayed union or even non-union when a bone segment is excised above a critical size. In recent...doctoral thesis 2017

Valente, Yara (author)Society is stuck in daily routines, led by social norms and conventions. Often we are unaware of this, while life can be much richter if we would subvert from these routines every once in a while. These routines prevent us from seeing everything that there is. Our expectations need to be subverted. <br/><br/>Usually it is reserved for artists to...master thesis 2019
