Wijffels, Daan (author)As the global population continues to increase, so does its dependance on food, which has led to the development of more efficient food production methods. Greenhouse horticulture and genetically modified seeds have increased crop yield and decreased water and energy consumption. However, delicate greenhouse-grown vegetables continue to...master thesis 2023

Di Perna, Angela (author), Cuomo, Sabatino (author), Martinelli, M. (author)Full understanding the interaction mechanisms between flow-like landslides and the impacted protection structures is an open issue. While several approaches, from experimental to numerical, have been used so far, it is clear that the adequate assessment of the hydromechanical behaviour of the landslide body requires both a multiphase and...journal article 2022

Cuomo, Sabatino (author), Di Perna, Angela (author), Martinelli, M. (author)A full understanding of the interaction mechanisms among flow-like landslides and impacted protection structures is still an open issue. Although several approaches, from experimental to numerical, have been used so far, a thoroughly assessment of the hydromechanical behaviour of the landslide body is achievable only through a multiphase and...journal article 2022

Smith, A.L. (author)Molten salts have recently received increased attention worldwide as key materials for sustainable and low-carbon energy supply technologies (e.g. thermal energy storage, concentrated solar power technologies, fission and fusion nuclear reactors) thanks to their appealing thermo-physical properties. In particular, they are used as fuel and...review 2022

Marsden, S.R. (author), Wijma, Hein J. (author), Mohr, M.K.F. (author), Justo, Inês (author), Hagedoorn, P.L. (author), Laustsen, Jesper (author), Mestrom, L. (author), McMillan, D.G.G. (author), Hanefeld, U. (author)Regulation of enzyme activity is vital for living organisms. In metalloenzymes, far-reaching rearrangements of the protein scaffold are generally required to tune the metal cofactor's properties by allosteric regulation. Here structural analysis of hydroxyketoacid aldolase from Sphingomonas wittichii RW1 (SwHKA) revealed a dynamic movement of...journal article 2022

Bos, Dennis (author)Currently, most ships are designed on the basis of rules and reference ships for which often only the critical structural parts are calculated and designed in detail. This process can result in an over-dimensioned ship with the standard structural outcome of longitudinal stiffeners, transverse stiffeners, and bulkheads with a fixed distance due...master thesis 2021

Świda, Sara (author)The project seeks to stabilise and reverse the degradation of the pier’s walls so it remains available to its users. The structure acts as a stabilizer for this piece of land, so as not to let it disappear.<br/>The light structure takes inspiration from a bird perched on a branch, a metaphor for young Amsterdammer’s searching for their place in...master thesis 2021

van den Berg, Bram (author)Terrorism is something the United States of America has had to deal with since 1789. Near the end of the 20th century such attacks had become more frequent and devastating with the most casualties caused by a single individual with the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. This has led to a nationwide uncertainty if more buildings were at risk to be...student report 2021

Malabi Eberhardt, Leonora Charlotte (author), van Stijn, A. (author), Kristensen Stranddorf, Liv (author), Birkved, Morten (author), Birgisdottir, Harpa (author)Transitioning to a circular built environment can reduce the environmental impacts, resource consumption and waste generation emanating from buildings. However, there are many options to design circular building components, and limited knowledge on which options lead to the best environmental performance. Few guidelines exist and they build...journal article 2021

Yuan, Bo (author), Li, G. (author), Guo, Mingxing (author), Zhuang, Linzhong (author)Synergy of Ni micro-alloying and thermomechanical processing on the phase distribution, formability and bendability of Al–Mg–Si–Cu–Zn–Fe–Mn alloys was systematically studied in this paper. With the addition of micro-alloying Ni, the Ni-containing Fe-rich phase can be formed, which not only serves as nucleation sites of Mg–Si precipitates ...journal article 2021

Zou, Yingxue (author), Amirkhanian, Serji (author), Xu, S. (author), Li, Yuanyuan (author), Wang, Yafei (author), Zhang, Jianwei (author)Aqueous solution is one of the main factors of asphalt pavement disease. However, the physicochemical changes of asphalt are ambiguous during immersion in different aqueous solutions. This study evaluated the physicochemical properties of asphalt under the action of different aqueous solutions to further understand the mechanism of moisture...journal article 2021

Zhu, Cheng (author)In order to meet the needs for future hospital, the AMC requires a better healing environment with nature elements. In addition, the AMC building will transform from closed medical machine to a public welcome community. My project is to renovate the in-between space of AMC by ‘Archi-Nature’, and convert it into a natural healing community. Archi...master thesis 2019

Wu, B. (author), Ye, G. (author)Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) like fly ash (FA) and blast furnace slag (BFS) are broadly used in concrete to replace part of the Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) because of both economic and environmental issues. In concrete blended with SCMs, C-S-H with different C/S ratios, formed from the hydration and pozzolanic reactions of...journal article 2019

(author), Steenbakkers, Pascal (author)Cross-laminated timber, or CLT, is receiving attention for its potential application in tall building structures. As a combustible material, one of the main challenges for the construction of these buildings is the fire risk that results from its use in the structure.<br/><br/>Unprotected CLT can burn along with the fuel load present in a...journal article 2019

Sassi, Leandre (author)The banlieues seem condemned to be the scenery for the ‘France d’en bas’. A france that go to the fair, eats kebab every Wednesday, sleep in a hotel F1 next to the highway, marry in the ‘salle des fetes’, and spend their Monday choosing a new carpet at les 4 ‘murs’ or Tati. However, it seems that the city of strasbourg neglects this 'france d'en...master thesis 2018

van der Gaag, Bart-Jan (author)This thesis aims to exploit active bending as an approach to create complex curved geometries, which are structurally self-supporting systems. The simplicity of creating complex curved geometries from initially planar elements is the leading motivator for this research. The central research question is: ‘How can double curvature be exploited in...master thesis 2018
