Design, Production and Characterization of Additive Manufactured Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering (Ontwerp, productie en karakterisatie van laagsgewijs geproduceerde scaffolds voor botweefselengineering) KU Leuven
For the treatment of large or non-healing bone defects, no optimal solution exists to date. All currently available therapies have important drawbacks. To resolve this clinical problem, there is a strong tendency towards regeneration of the bone tissue in the defect. This new approach, called bone tissue engineering (BTE), combines the advantages of autografts and allografts by using cell-seeded porous structures (bone scaffolds), and eliminates ...
Model Based Optimization of Jacketed Tubular Reactors for the Production of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) (Modelgebaseerde optimalisering van tubulaire reactoren voor de productie van lagedensiteitspolyethyleen (LDPE)) KU Leuven
Due to market saturation, global competition and a worldwide financial c risis, today's chemical industry strives for more efficient processes in order to maximize the production (conversion) and/or to reduce the corr esponding production costs without disregarding safety and environmental limitations. In these current circumstances, the trial-and-error proced ures, mainly based on the experience of operators and engineers, are not adequate ...
Full Scale Product Lifecycle management in biotech production using advanced control and production information systems: Shorten New Product Development and Introductions in Bio-pharmaceutical industries using ISA-88 and ISA-95 Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Starting from an example of the production of a therapeutic monoclonal antibody using animal cell culture (MAb) using simulation and scheduling software for optimizing and de-bottlenecking the production processes, we abstract from the P&ID and model the control software for a Biotech Plant using an ISA standard ISA-88 and connect it with the Business Information Systems and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software using the ISA standard ...
PRODUCTIVE URBANISM - Water Conflicts in the Interplay of Production Landscapes and Settlements: Chia-Nan Plain, Taiwan KU Leuven
The main research objective is to decipher the role of both water conditions and water conflicts in the interplay of the rural settlements and productive landscapes that constitute the Chia-Nan Plain, Taiwan. Consequently, the research considers Taiwans (r)urban design from three main perspectives: (1) rural water management; (2) vulnerable productive landscapes; and (3) fragmentated peri-urban settlements. The rural economies of Taiwan have ...
Life cycle assessment (LCA) for apple orchard production systems including low and high productive years in conventional, integrated and organic farms KU Leuven
© 2017 Elsevier Ltd Several papers highlight methodological challenges related to the lifecycle assessment (LCA) of fruit production systems. These concern both the limited number of impact categories assessed in current LCA literature and the narrow view on the full production phase of an orchard cycle. This article addresses these challenges and contributes to improving the scientific knowledge on impacts associated with less productive years ...
