… Science and Medical Engineering, Southeast University, Sipailou 2, Nanjing 210096, China (zhangtianzhu@seu.edu.cn) Proposal (250 words): Introduction: In tissue engineering, e.g. repair of abdominal wall defects, ideal regeneration efficiency cannot always be obtained by using both biodegradable synthetic polymer and biological-derived materials such as decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM). The crucial reason is that there is still lack of deep understanding of the relation between the … and migration, if time allows regeneration efficacy of abdominal wall defect in SD rat model. Impact: This research will provide beneficial insights into the design and construction of high-performance biomaterials for repair of abdominal wall defect. With our new approach towards PEU free of toxic isocyanates and (tri)phosgenes, we can make a positive impact on environment and health. Requirements candidate: Highly motivated student with good English communication skills and proactive and resolute attitude. The student should have skills in organic and polymer synthesis/characterization, as well as biomedical skills related to tissue regeneration and cell studies. Keywords: …

… Prof. Dr. T.J. Cleij (Maastricht Science Programme) Proposal (250 words): Introduction: Tropical rain forests hold most of the plant diversity on earth but biologists have no proper explanation for this. Modelling the climatic niches of species can contribute substantially to our understanding of the composition of such forests. Large, widespread and well-studied plant groups can serve as a model system for such research. Annonaceae is a pantropical plant family that contributes significantly … rainforest evolution. Subquestions addressed are: 1) do correlations exist between Species Distribution Modelling (SDM) predictions, ecological inventories and evolutionary relationships, 2) are there differences in ecology between evolutionary groups within Annonaceae, and 3) do different rainforest have different ecological characteristics? Setting and Methods: SDM will be used to estimate climatic niches of all 2450 species in Annonaceae. This modelling data will then be combined with real biological data from paleontological sources and from plot inventories on several continents. All data will be interpreted in an evolutionary framework. Impact: The understanding of climatic niches can be used to fundamentally understand the …

… Pool have become increasingly popular in recent years. In these games, physics simulators have complete information about and control over all the physical properties of all objects in the game world. As such, each move and its consequences can be exactly simulated and displayed, which makes the physical behaviour of the game appear quite realistic. The challenge for an agent in these games is how to handle the large number of possible moves in real-time. Recently, a reasoning technique called Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), has led to increased level of play in a wide range of abstract games (such as Go). Hypothesis and Objectives: The aim of the proposal is to develop effective methods within this MCTS framework for PBSGs. The two research questions are: 1: “How to develop abstraction methods such that MCTS can efficiently explore a continuous state-action space?” 2: “How to develop methods such that MCTS can perform effectively in … are able to compete in PBSGs where there is an active research community and tournaments. To have realistic results, the developed methods are evaluated in a disparate set of domains. To mitigate the risk of immediately combining methods for dealing with abstraction and real-time, the initial focus is on PBSGs that do not include both aspects. Impact: The impact goes beyond games and will be an essential feature of agents that interact with the physical world such as space, advanced manufacturing …

… karel.wilsens@maastrichtuniversity.nl Keywords: Energy conservation, emission reduction, recycling, High temperature performance polymers Introduction: Polymer materials find use in an immense number of applications in our daily life. One problem with the usage of plastics is that they are generally not biodegradable and might accumulate in nature if not disposed correctly. In this project, we address the challenges in recyclability, specifically for high performance polycondensates. Through the application of a renewable … will be paid to address recyclable aspects of these polymers with focus on reducing CO2 footprint. Hypothesis and Objectives: Itaconic acid, a rather versatile biobased monomer, having 2 carboxylic acid functionalities and one unsaturated bond can be useful for various applications; having potential to be used as a building block in polyesters, providing cross-linking site in thermosets, and functionalities to surfactants. In our ongoing research we make use of itaconic acid as a component …

… Research Internship & Master’s Thesis Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience Academic Skills Full course description In this course, the research proposal is drafted in preparation for the research internship.
