Background The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) created a consensus-based framework consisting of phenotypic and etiologic criteria to record the occurrence of malnutrition in adults. This is a minimum set of practicable indicators for use in characterizing a patient/client as malnourished, …

Spatial and temporal patterns in submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) of nitrate in a high-energy sandy beach system on Spiekeroog Island were examined utilizing UV photometry. SGD as pathway of nitrate was studied to gain better understanding of the variability of nitrate discharge and the factors …

This research proposes new structural lay-outs for large wind turbine blades. The lay-outs were found by an optimisation method where the aerodynamics of wind turbine blades was combined with the structural model of the blade, formulated in a corotational framework. The aeroelastic blade loads were calculated …

Martien Visser over hernieuwbare energie in (nieuwe) wijken. Alle basiselementen kwamen ter sprake; de energiebehoefte, keuzes op woningniveau t/m landsniveau, (warmte) opslag en de kosten die daarbij gemoeid zijn.

Introduction: A protein intake of 25–30 g per meal is suggested to maximally stimulate muscle protein synthesis in older adults in order to prevent sarcopenia. Protein intake at breakfast is often low and therefore breakfast offers the potential for protein suppletion. Since protein is known for its …
