Self-healing is a promised technology to improve the durability of concrete structures. The research describes how self-healing concrete behaves in different aggressive conditions, such as frost salt scaling, chemical attacks and water pressure. The extreme conditions will be applied during and after healing, and the latter will provide information on the durability of the healed material.
Cancer is one of the major causes of death in our society. The anti-cancer drugs currently used in chemotherapy produce several side effects and, although fatal for almost all cells in a tumor, a small percentage of cells appear to resist the treatment. Therefore, it is urgent to design new therapies that specifically target these cells while causing no harm to healthy tissue. The resistance to multiple drugs is linked to the presence of ...
Climate change results in a shifting spectrum of pathogens which establish themselves in our soils and attack our crops. Although chemical plant protection and adjusted fertilization could in part deal with these issues, a growing ecological public awareness limits the application of agrochemicals. In a search for alternative methods to secure food and feed production, the industry now turns to agricultural inoculants composed of bioactive ...
The redox reactions in a metal-metaloxide system are modelled with a phase field model, which incorporates diffusion, thermodynamics and electrochemical reactions. The required input variables are obtained by coupling the model to 2 thermodynamic databases and by execution of specific experiments to determine these parameters. Experiments are also used to verify the predictive nature of the model.
