To achieve emission reduction targets and to improve local air quality of cities, the uptake of Electric Freight Vehicles (EFV) is essential. Knowledge concerning why companies do adopt EFV is lacking. Research about the diffusion of innovations and the market of EFV shows that frontrunner companies …

Nowadays, composites are mainly produced via petroleum derived chemicals. In a world where petroleum resources are running out, it is essential to find viable options for the replacement of these reserves. Biocomposites are already exploited but they appear to have low resistance to weathering. This …

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to determine whether an herbal extract containing monoterpene exhibited activity against multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from clinical infection samples. METHODS: The essential oil of Trachyspermum ammi (L.) Sprague …

Inleiding Het doel van deze studie is om voor het MR Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) onderzoek van de lumbale wervelkolom binnen het Máxima Medisch Centrum een b-waarde te bepalen waarmee onderscheid gemaakt kan worden tussen fracturen (maligne versus acuut benigne) en normaal beenmergweefsel. Methode Op …

Aan de hand van een systematische review is onderzocht wat de invloed van verschillende B-waarden is op de sensitiviteit en specificiteit bij gebruik van diffusion-weighted imaging bij patiënten met de ziekte van Crohn.

Inleiding Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is een veelgebruikte beeldvormende techniek voor het diagnosticeren van een prostaatcarcinoom. De Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI)-sequentie is belangrijk voor het onderscheiden van gezonde en pathologische structuren. Echter worden op de radiologie afdelingen …

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 …

With a market demand for low cost, easy to produce, flexible and portable applications in healthcare, energy, biomedical or electronics markets, large research programs are initiated to develop new technologies to provide this demand with new innovative ideas. One of these fast developing technologies …

In this study, we experimentally investigated the material flows of coloured dyes in coalescing small inkjet printed droplets of different volume ratios. With two differently coloured dyes, one in each droplet, we were able to distinguish the time-resolved contributions in dye transport across the coalescence …

This article deals with the question of why the architecture of new gated communities includes references to built heritage. The emergence of ‘gated communities’ in the Netherlands is especially interesting because its diffusion is not primarily driven by distinct urban segregation and the gap between …
