Intelligent Disease Self-Management with Mobile Technology

Cost-effective mobile healthcare must consider not only technological performance but also the division of responsibilities between the patient and care provider, the context of the patient’s condition, and ways to implement patient decision support and tailored interaction.

Recovery of galium and indium from liquid crystal displays and CIGS photovailtaic modules

Abstract: The increasing amount of electronics, such as consumer products and green technologies (e.g. solar PV cells) increases the demand of metals such as indium and gallium. This increasing demand together with the dependency on import of these metals drive research on recycling of waste electronics from secondary sources, so called urban...

Exopolysaccharides (EPS) as anti-corrosive additives for coatings

Exopolysaccharides (EPS) are a class of renewable polymers that show interesting anti-corrosive properties and could potentially be used as an alternative for zinc phosphates. When combined with a waterborne styrene-acrylic polymer dispersion (SA-1), exopolysaccharides were shown to give an improvement in the anti-corrosive performance....

Scale-up of fixed-bed chemical looping combustion

Fixed-bed chemical looping combustion is currently being studied experimentally with the optimization of systems up to 1 kW. One of the key advantages for using the fixed-bed configuration over fluidized-beds is the flexibility in operating parameters that allows for application of CLC not only to power production, but also to niche applications...
