BACKGROUND: Given the negative consequences of early alcohol use for health and social functioning, it is essential to detect children at risk of early drinking. The aim of this study is to determine predictors of early alcohol use that can easily be detected in Preventive Child Healthcare (PCH). METHODS: …

An estimated 17 million tonnes of tires are discarded annually. Re-use is achieved by retreading (9%), recycling (39%), energy recovery (37%) and landfill (5%). A preferred, but complex way of recycling is to make new tires from discarded tire rubber. Vulcanised car tire rubber has to be devulcanized …

We have developed CiVi, a user-friendly web-based tool to create custom circular maps to aid the analysis of microbial genomes and sequence elements. Sequence related data such as gene-name, COG class, PFAM domain, GC%, and subcellular location can be comprehensively viewed. Quantitative gene-related …

Purpose Young soccer players need excellent tactical skills to reach the top. Tactical behavior emerges through interactions between opposing teams. However, few studies have focused on on-field tactical behavior of teams with talented soccer players. Therefore, this study aimed to determine teams’ tactical …

Tactische analyses van kleine partijspelen en echte wedstrijden. Small-sided …

In this study, we experimentally investigated the material flows of coloured dyes in coalescing small inkjet printed droplets of different volume ratios. With two differently coloured dyes, one in each droplet, we were able to distinguish the time-resolved contributions in dye transport across the coalescence …

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 …

This thesis describes how the abundance of CO2 a ects the porosity of H2O:CO2 ice mixtures deposited at di erent growth temperatures ranging from 30 - 70 K. The mixing ratios of the used ice samples H2O:CO2 = 10:1, 4:1 and 2:1 are of astrophysical relevance. Laser optical interference is used to monitor …

The treatment of tumours in cancer patients have become more advanced and thus more complex. The verification of the dose distribution, calculated by clinical physicists, have thus become more complicated. VSL has started the development on measurements of absolute dose distributions in an antrhopomorphic …

Background: With increasing age and longevity, the rising number of frail elders with complex and numerous health-related needs demands a coordinated health care delivery system integrating cure, care and welfare. Studies on the effectiveness of such comprehensive chronic care models targeting frail …
