Literatuurverslag duurzame bouwprocessen.
De Vastgoedgroep Drienerlo (VGD) heeft het CSTM opdracht gegeven een literatuurstudie uit te voeren naar duurzame bouwprocessen. De opdracht betrof het uitzoeken wat er in de wetenschappelijke literatuur bekend is over duurzame bouwprocessen. Daarbij gaat het niet om de duurzaamheidgraad van de gebouwen in opgeleverde fase, maar de duurzaamheidgraad van bouwen renovatieprocessen. Omdat het gaat om de integrale duurzaamheidsgraad van de processen wordt in tegenstelling tot andere studies niet alleen stilgestaan bij gebruik van (duurzame) energie, maar is ook naar andere duurzaamheidaspecten gekeken
`Stringy' Newton-Cartan Gravity
We construct a "stringy" version of Newton-Cartan gravity in which the
concept of a Galilean observer plays a central role. We present both the
geodesic equations of motion for a fundamental string and the bulk equations of
motion in terms of a gravitational potential which is a symmetric tensor with
respect to the longitudinal directions of the string. The extension to include
a non-zero cosmological constant is given. We stress the symmetries and
(partial) gaugings underlying our construction. Our results provide a
convenient starting point to investigate applications of the AdS/CFT
correspondence based on the non-relativistic "stringy" Galilei algebra.Comment: 44 page
A Unified Approach for the Total Synthesis of cyclo-Archaeol, iso-Caldarchaeol, Caldarchaeol, and Mycoketide
Ir-catalyzed asymmetric alkene hydrogenation is presented as the strategy par excellence to prepare saturated isoprenoids and mycoketides. This highly stereoselective synthesis approach is combined with an established 13 C-NMR method to determine the enantioselectivity of each methyl-branched stereocenter. It is shown that this analysis is fit for purpose and the combination allows the synthesis of the title compounds with a significant increase in efficiency
On Maximal Massive 3D Supergravity
We construct, at the linearized level, the three-dimensional (3D) N = 4
supersymmetric "general massive supergravity" and the maximally supersymmetric
N = 8 "new massive supergravity". We also construct the maximally
supersymmetric linearized N = 7 topologically massive supergravity, although we
expect N = 6 to be maximal at the non-linear level.Comment: 33 page
A versatile method to separate complex lipid mixtures using 1-butanol as eluent in a reverse-phase UHPLC-ESI-MS system
Simple, robust and versatile LC-MS based methods add to the rapid assessment of the lipidome of biological cells. Here we present a versatile RP-UHPLC-MS method using 1-butanol as the eluent, specifically designed to separate different highly hydrophobic lipids. This method is capable of separating different lipid classes of glycerophospholipid standards, in addition to phospholipids of the same class with a different acyl chain composition. The versatility of this method was demonstrated through analysis of lipid extracts of the bacterium Escherichia coli and the archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. In contrast to 2-propanol-based methods, the 1-butanol-based mobile phase is capable of eluting highly hydrophobic analytes such as cardiolipins, tetraether lipids and mycolic acids during the gradient instead of the isocratic purge phase, resulting in an enhanced separation of cardiolipins and extending the analytical range for RPLC
