I turn to French ontologist Gilles Deleuze’s concept of immediate encounters …

The main objective of this study is to reveal the heterogeneity of cell types hidden in the developed brain organoids. A secondary goal is to discover gene expression differences among these identified cell types between the cells with 22q11.2 DS and healthy controls. The latter is done to get a better …

Not having enough of what one needs has long been shown to have detrimental consequences for decision making. Recent work suggests that the experience of insufficient resources can create a “scarcity” mindset; increasing attention toward the scarce resource itself, but at the cost of attention for unrelated …

The Netherlands breeds higher segment, potential Olympics horses with unbelievably high price ranges. These horses are already being exported internationally. However, the export approach might lack efficiency. The following research question is brought forward to research whether this sector has potential …

Um eine logopädische Therapie bezüglich der Intensität zu unterstützen wurden computergestützte Therapieprogramme entwickelt. Da eine gute Anwendbarkeit eines solchen Programmes von großer Bedeutung für den Patienten ist, war das Ziel dieser Studie das Programm ‚Fleppo‘ bezüglich der Anwendbarkeit bei …
