… 23 mei 2024 Circular Chemical Engineering Zoekresultaten The perfect recycling of plastics from household waste is one step closer, thanks to research into quality monitoring at all stages of the recycling process. The University of Maastricht, the National Test Centre Circular Plastics, and their collaborators have received a government subsidy of over EUR 2 million, which will accelerate their research. Patrick Marx Faculty of … group of the Faculty of Science and Engineering. "From a technical point of view, the perfect recycling of plastic waste is currently virtually impossible." To monitor the quality of the finished product, recycled plastic, adequate data from all stages of the recycling process is required. These results are based on real-time and in-line monitoring that is integrated into the manufacturing process. The creation of this monitoring system is critical to the Monitoring Quality in Plastic … Circular Plastics, the following partners participate in MoQuP-R: TNO Danone LyondellBasell Graham Packaging Verpact … The perfect recycling of plastics from household waste is one step closer, thanks to research into quality monitoring at all stages of the recycling process.

… workshop, a Meet & Greet with actors and a visit to A Seagull , an adaptation of the famous play by Anton Chekhov. The play was Dutch spoken, but had English surtitles, which meant the audience could read the English translation on screens above the stage. The students who registered for the workshop received the English translation of the script, as well as subtitled video introductions in which the director, scenographer and actors spoke to them about the production. This was followed by the … workshop, a Meet & Greet with actors and a visit to A Seagull , an adaptation of the famous play by Anton Chekhov.

… Team Jumbo-Visma, who are using Kristian’s predictions in this month’s Tour de France. Predicting the personal energy needs of a professional cyclist is not easy, given that the average Tour de France contender burns around 7000 calories during a Tour stage. Kristian van Kuijk has taken up the challenge and found a way. He is an ambitious student from the honours programme KE@Work of the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence bachelor’s programme at Maastricht University and a passionate cycling fan. For his thesis, he has built an algorithm that makes it possible to predict the energy consumption of cyclists. These predictions are made through machine learning based on data such as the stage profile or the individual cyclist’s BMI. They also take account of much more unforeseen factors such as weather conditions or race tactics. Through KE@Work, Kristian got in touch with Team Jumbo–Visma, a leading Dutch professional bicycle racing …
… the Quantum Delta NL-affiliated specialisation. Cooperation With the specialisation, Maastricht University is expanding its efforts in the field of quantum computing. The university embraced the possibilities of quantum computing already in an early stage. Both the Department of Advanced Computing Sciences and the Department of Gravitational Waves & Fundamental Physics cooperate in Quantum Computing @ UM. They participate in national and international efforts on quantum computing for the Einstein … principles from quantum mechanics to develop computers and algorithms that can solve certain kinds of problems much faster than classical computers – in theory. In practice, both quantum computing hardware and software are still in their early stages. The Dutch government has invested 615 million euros to boost the development of quantum technology via Quantum Delta NL. … As of next academic year, Maastricht University will be the first Dutch university to offer a specialisation in Quantum …
… in all, Milan Kovačević’s study has a clear conclusion: more breadth and flexibility in the bachelor's phase is no obstacle to further specialisation in the master's phase. “The key question is not whether specialization is needed or not, but at which stage it should occur. This always involves a trade-off between the general and specific components of higher education. The fast-changing and unpredictable career landscape is certainly increasing the value of general education and transferable … graduates' flexibility, necessary to navigate labour market changes in the long run. With this in mind, it is useful to know that an undergraduate curriculum that offers more breadth does not compromise the students' ability to specialize at a later stage. Hopefully, these findings can stimulate a wider discussion on the purpose and structure of the undergraduate curriculum, and the right timing of specialization,” says Milan Kovačević. Teun Dekker, who supervised the research, adds: “In the …
… with high variation between oocytes. During embryogenesis, the mtDNA copy number decreases to ∼170 mtDNA molecules per primordial germ cell (PGC), a number similar to that in mammals, and to ∼50 per non-PGC. These occur at the same developmental stage, implying considerable variation in mtDNA copy number in (non-)PGCs of the same female, dictated by variation in the mature oocyte. The presence of oocytes with low mtDNA numbers, if similar in humans, could explain how (de novo) mutations can … individual variation. Furthermore, PGCs were specifically visualized with GFP, followed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to isolate both PGCs and non-PGCs during embryogenesis ( Goto-Kazeto et al., 2010 ). Lastly, oocytes from different stages of development were isolated. In this way, we characterized the mtDNA bottleneck in zebrafish in germline and non-germline cells, providing a better understanding of the underlying mechanism and possible consequences. Highlights The zebrafish …
… They are guided in these tasks by a supervisor from the company as well as a lecturer. In addition, the students take their regular courses and exams. Frank Thuijsman comments: ‘By connecting students with the regional business community at an early stage in their studies, they are able to build up their work experience and put their knowledge directly into practice. This is also an attractive opportunity for companies, since – through the students – they gain access to the latest developments in …

… colleges influence the career preparedness and labour market prospects of their graduates. To achieve this, the thesis follows university college graduates as they move across the borders of employability from higher education to employment. The four stages of the graduates’ path towards the labour market correspond to the four individual studies comprising the dissertation. These studies examine the LAE graduates’ career preparedness in terms of acquiring relevant skills during the bachelor’s …
