We examined the effects of age on automatic and voluntary motor adjustments in pointing tasks. To this end, young (20–25 years) and middle-aged adults (48–62 years) were instructed to point at a target that could unexpectedly change its location (to the left or right) or its color (to green or red) during …

Across 3 studies, we investigated whether visual complexity deriving from internally repeating visual information over many scale levels is a source of perceptual fluency. Such continuous repetition of visual information is formalized in fractal geometry and is a key-property of natural structures. In …

Plasma gasification has been studied as a new technology which may combine bio-waste treatment and energy generation. Currently, a setup for carrying out gasification experiments has been built up in order to obtain more experimental data for further research. According to previous experimental results, …

Background: The flexor hallucis longus (FHL) is one of three muscles that can cause tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS).

Background: The pressure in out-of-hours primary care is high due to an increasing demand for care and rising health-care costs. During the daytime, substituting general practitioners (GPs) with nurse practitioners (NPs) shows positive results to contribute to these challenges. However, there is a lack …

AimTo provide insight into the impact of substituting general practitioners with nurse practitioners in out-of-hours services on: (1) the number of patients; and (2) general practitioners' caseload (patient characteristics, urgency levels, types of complaints). BackgroundGeneral practitioners' workload …
