Beachvolleybal Team Nederland (BTN), onderdeel van de Nederlandse Volleybalbond, is steeds op zoek naar vernieuwende elementen in trainingsmethoden die de prestaties van zijn (top)sporters kunnen verbeteren. Binnen dit kader bleek er behoefte te zijn aan een algoritme om de Reactive Strength Index (RSI), …

Laminated composites have important applications in modern aeronautical structures due to their extraordinary mechanical and environmental behaviour. Nevertheless, aircraft composite structures are highly vulnerable to impact damage, either by low-velocity sources during maintenance or high-velocity …

Mechanical power output is a key performance-determining variable in many cyclic sports. In rowing, instantaneous power output is commonly determined as the dot product of handle force moment and oar angular velocity. The aim of this study was to show that this commonly used proxy is theoretically flawed …

Meerlanden collects and recycles waste in order to create resources for new products. In addition, Meerlanden maintains the public area in a sustainable way. The communication team wonders whether the citizens (customers) and the employees view Meerlanden in terms of the desired corporate identity. The …

PURPOSE: The objectives of this review are to summarize the current practices and major recent advances in critical care nutrition and metabolism, review common beliefs that have been contradicted by recent trials, highlight key remaining areas of uncertainty, and suggest recommendations for the top …

AkzoNobel is a multinational sustainable company which makes paints, coatings and special chemicals. Hexahydrophthalic anhydride, phthalic anhydride and trimellitic anhydride are dangerous chemicals, because they can cause irritations and allergic reactions. These chemicals are often used in paint and …

This report contains the results of the graduation research of Jurre Kuijper and Martin Volgers. The research goal is to find an appropriate model to calculate the heat transfer under different sets of system conditions. The system in this case is a sewer heat system, which consists of a sewage pipe …

Gas-phase diffusion is a widespread process in nature, for example diffusion of pollutants in the atmosphere. A special case of diffusion is the so-called Knudsen diffusion where a gas diffuses in the molecular flow regime. The theory for Knudsen diffusion is well-known therefore, diffusion experiments …

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 …
