STUDY DESIGN: Systematic review. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the validity of instruments that claim to detect submaximal capacity when maximal capacity is requested in patients with chronic nonspecific musculoskeletal pain. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Several instruments have been developed to measure capacity …

The observed persistent soft X-ray spectra (0.5 - 10 keV) of anomalous Xray pulsars (AXPs) can be explained by the magnetar model (Woods and Thompson et al., 2002 [3]) where the emission is powered by the decay of an extreme high magnetic eld ( 1014 G). Because these spectra are relatively soft, measurements …

OBJECTIVES: To study sensor monitoring (use of a sensor network placed in the home environment to observe individuals' daily functioning (activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living)) as a method to measure and support daily functioning for older people living independently …

tIn this study we aimed to identify genes that are responsive to pertussis toxin (PTx) and might eventu-ally be used as biological markers in a testing strategy to detect residual PTx in vaccines. By microarrayanalysis we screened six human cell types (bronchial epithelial cell line BEAS-2B, fetal lung …

De versnippering van de internationale samenleving vermindert de kans op een overkoepelend model van global governance. Meer waarschijnlijk is het ontstaan van bepaalde processen van bestuur die zich ontwikkelen als reactie op specifieke mondiale vraagstukken. Dit artikel beschrijft het proces van implementatie …

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique for collecting depth resolved information in human tissue based on an interferometer. With an imaging depth of between 1 and 2 mm, OCT is only used to investigate (near) surfaces. But with an axial (depth) resolution of between 2 and 10 μm, and …

Lopend onderzoek in het kader van de onderzoekslijn Kind, Taal & Ontwikkeling. Deze onderzoekslijn maakt deel uit van het Lectoraat Transparante Zorgverleningen en het Lectoraat Integraal Jeugdbeleid. Language problems have impact on school succes (Beichtman et al., 1996, Nelson et al., 2006), behavior …

The Lotseninsel is a small peninsula situated in the transition area of the Baltic Sea and the Schlei in Northern Germany. The mouth of the Schlei is an ecological important area and is thus protected under several conservation laws. The position of the Lotseninsel amid and surrounded by this ecological …
