de Maat, M.P.M. (author), Kodex, M. (author), Kastelein, J.J.P. (author), Gaubius Laboratory TNO Preventie en Gezondheid (author)Elevated plasma fibrinogen levels represent an increased risk for cardiac events. This has enhanced the interest in identifying agents that can normalize elevated plasma fibrinogen levels. Agents that have this capacity are the lipid lowering fibric acid derivatives (e.g. ciprofibrate) and the platelet aggregation inhibitor ticlopidine....article 1996

Kastelein, R.A. (author), Steen, N. (author), de Jong, C.A.F. (author), Wensveen, P.J. (author), Verboom, W.C. (author)Naval sonar systems produce signals which may affect the behavior of harbor porpoises, though their effect may be reduced by ambient noise. To show how natural ambient noise influences the effect of sonar sweeps on porpoises, a porpoise in a pool was exposed to 1-s duration up-sweeps, similar in frequency range (6-7 kHz) to those of existing...article 2011

(author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)World-wide, underwater background noise levels are increasing due to anthropogenic activities. Little is known about the effects of anthropogenic noise on marine fish, and information is needed to predict any negative effects. Behavioural startle response thresholds were determined for eight marine fish species, held in a large tank, to tones of...article 2008

Kastelein, R.A. (author), Hoek, L. (author), Gransier, R. (author), de Jong, C.A.F. (author)Pile driving is presently the most common method used to attach wind turbines to the sea bed. To assess the impact of pile driving sounds on harbor porpoises, it is important to know at what distance these sounds can be detected. Using a psychophysical technique, a male porpoise’s hearing thresholds were obtained for series of five pile driving...article 2013

(author)Acoustic mitigation devices (AMDs) are used to deter marine mammals from construction sites to prevent hearing injury by offshore pile-driving noise. In order to quantify the distance at which AMDs designed as ‘seal scarers’ are detected by seals, the 50% hearing thresholds for playbacks of their sounds were determined. The broadband hearing...article 2015
