Half of the geographical areas in Mainland China are currently facing problems of water shortage and water pollution. Both the Chinese government and its private sectors are striving to find viable solutions for this very issue. However, with the enormous population base in China and its fast-growing …

A laboratory test setup is built to transfer and actively stabilize an ultrastable signal, obtained from a laser with sub-Hz linewidth, trough a 5 km long fiber link. The fiber noise is measured and compensated via a feedback loop acting on an AOM that can change the frequency (and therefore the phase) …

Research is done on the properties of a niobium superconducting magnetic shield sample (see image below this abstract), its magnetic attenuation; and behaviour around the transition temperature 9.25 K. The attenuation of the magnetic shield sample was measured in a cryogenic setup. This is required to …

To effectively grasp and address sustainability challenges, this chapter argues that we need to expand our predominantly logocentric and linear ways of knowing with more presentational, embodied and sensory means. The chapter traces an exploration of this position through a dialogue between four academic, …

Semi-closed greenhouses have been developed in which window ventilation is minimized due to active cooling, enabling enhanced CO2 concentrations at high irradiance. Cooled and dehumidified air is blown into the greenhouse from below or above the canopy. Cooling below the canopy may induce vertical temperature …

Microbacterium aurum strain B8.A was isolated from the sludge of a potato starch-processing factory on the basis of its ability to use granular starch as carbon- and energy source. Extracellular enzymes hydrolyzing granular starch were detected in the growth medium of M. aurum B8.A, while the type strain …

Tally Weijl is an expanding fashion company possessing the financial and internal resources to expand. The research question of this paper is: What could be a suitable entry strategy for Tally Weijl to penetrate the German market with a sleeping wear line? An internal analysis of Tally Weijl tells that …

Background: Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a neuro-developmental disorder that is characterized by fine and/or gross motor coordination problems that are not the result of any neurological condition or intellectual disability and interfere significantly with academic achievement r activities …

Introductie: Dit artikel beschrijft de relatie tussen de biomechanica van de traumatische, unilaterale transtibiale amputiepatiënt en het relatieve risico op de ontwikkeling van osteo-arthritis aan de niet-aangedane zijde, naar aanleiding van een literatuuronderzoek met recente literatuur van 1998 tot …

Decreased tongue strength (TS) might herald bulbar involvement in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) well before dysarthria or dysphagia occur, and as such might be prognostic of short survival. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of a decreased TS, in addition …
