Het is bekend dat bacteriën resistent worden tegen recent gebruikte antibiotica, dit resulteert in een vraag naar nieuwe medicijnen. Rhamnose is een 6-deoxy-L-suiker en vormt een belangrijk onderdeel van de bacteriële celwand. De biosynthese van deze suiker vindt alleen op natuurlijke wijze in bacteriën …

Organische halfgeleiders worden alom gebruikt in de huidige elektronica. Een halfgeleider is een materiaal dat bij een sterk genoeg elektrisch veld, stroom geleidt. Voor elektronica is het cruciaal dat een halfgeleider een zo hoog mogelijke ladingsmobiliteit heeft. Interessante kandidaten voor halfgeleiders …

OBJECTIVES: To review recent literature on student nurses' perceptions of different areas of nursing practice, in particular community care. Healthcare is changing from care delivery in institutional settings to care to patients in their own homes. Problematic is that nursing students do not see community …

BACKGROUND: The current literature on the value of clinical evaluation for predicting time to return to sport (RTS) after acute hamstring injuries has not been systematically summarised. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature on the prognostic value of clinical …

We demonstrate a method that allows two users to communicate remotely using their sense of touch by dynamically applying vibrotactile feedback to one user's forearm using two different input methods. User input on a standard mobile touch-screen device or a purpose-built touch-sensitive wearable is analyzed …

Many origin of life theories argue that molecular self-organization explains the spontaneous emergence of structural and dynamical constraints. However, the preservation of these constraints over time is not well-explained because of the self-undermining and self-limiting nature of these same processes. …

The European Safety Reliability and Data Association (ESReDA) has since 1993 set up a series of Project Groups dealing with the different angles of ‘accident investigation’ and ‘learning from events’. With the 25th Anniversary of ESReDA now in 2016, the core of this group is still active, and has just …

Background: Improved preferred gait speed in older adults is associated with increased survival rates. There are inconsistent findings in clinical trials regarding effects of exercise on preferred gait speed, and heterogeneity in interventions in the current reviews and meta-analyses. Objective: to determine …

A study on the synthesis and emulsification of alkyd resins was performed in order to find relationships between the vistocisty, molecular weight and oil length. The emulsions were used to study the effect of the viscosity and oil length on the gloss of waterborne alkyd paints. An empyrical relationship …

BACKGROUND: Conflicting evidence exists on the effectiveness of routinely measured vital signs on the early detection of increased probability of adverse events. PURPOSE: To assess the clinical relevance of routinely measured vital signs in medically and surgically hospitalized patients through a systematic …
