This project helps to reach the end goal of doing long distance measurements. Long distance measurements depends on the refractive index of air. The refractive index depends on temperature, pressure, humidity and gas mixture. The biggest uncertainty of calculating the refractive index is the temperature, …

This research focuses on effective social value measurement. It starts by outlining the competitive environment, which is under economic pressure due to limited resources. Commissioners of public services are driven to include social value into their decision making. The problem for social enterprises …

OBJECTIVE: To develop a Dutch version of the Stanford Presenteeism Scale (SPS-6) and examine the reliability and discriminant, discriminative and structural validity of the Dutch SPS-6 (DSPS-6). METHODS: The original SPS-6 (English-language) was translated and adapted to the Dutch culture. Thirty participants …

This report describes the work that has been done on the water calorimeter project at VSL. The calorimeter determines the absorbed-dose-to water Dw in gray, by measuring the radiation induced temperature change. The temperature of the water will change due to irradiation of a beam ionizing radiation. …

Scanning tunneling microscopy is an important and enabling tool for condensed matter physics and surface science. The low temperature STM in Leiden (Prof. J. Van Ruitenbeek and Prof J. Aarts) is used for research in the field of atomic/molecular electronics and superconductivity. The current low temperature …
