Photoluminescence study of erbium in silicon with a free-electron laser

Tsimperidis, I. (author), Gregorkiewicz, T. (author), Bekman, H.H.P.T. (author), Langerak, C.J.G.M. (author), Ammerlaan, C.A.J. (author), TNO Fysisch en Elektronisch Laboratorium (author)

The influence of intense infrared (IR) radiation in the range 7-17 μm on the photoluminescence (PL) of erbium in silicon has been investigated. To excite the PL a pulsed Nd:YAG laser operating in the visible with a wavelength of 532 nm has been used. The infrared beam was generated by a free-electron laser. In the experiment the intensity and...

LPG in Europe: It's now or never...

van der Steen, M. (author), TNO Wegtransportmiddelen (author)

TNO (The Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research) has been active in the field of LPG since the 50's. The first activity was the assessment of safety aspects concerning LPG-fuelled vehicles. Together with the authorities regulations were drawn up for the conversion of vehicles to gaseous fuels. Crash-tests, tests in which...

Absorption of methanol and toluene by polyster-based bottles

van Lune, F.S. (author), Nijssen, L.M. (author), Linssen, J.P.H. (author), Centraal Instituut voor Voedingsonderzoek TNO TNO Voeding (author)

Absorption aspects of flavours and chemicals are important quality criteria when plastic bottles are reused or recycled. In the present study absorption of methanol and toluene by polyester-based bottles (PET and PEN) was studied at different temperatures in the range 20-40°C for a period of 16 weeks with two different ways of exposure: one...

As a result of the '1st International Colloquium on tyre models for vehicle dynamics Analysis' in 1991, the international 'TYDEX Workshop' working group was established. This workshop concentrated on the standardisation of the exchange of tyre measurement data and the interface between tyre and vehicle models in order to improve the...

Quality of life in elderly subjects with pain in the hip or knee

Hopman-Rock, M. (author), Kraaimaat, F.W. (author), Bijlsma, J.W.J. (author), TNO Preventie en Gezondheid (author)

This study examines the quality of life (QOL) of community living elderly people aged 55-74 with chronic, episodic or sporadic pain in the hip or knee and of a reference group without pain (total n = 306). Firstly, it was hypothesized that the experienced QOL is lower in people with more chronic pain. Secondly, the potential mediating and...

Heavy duty test cycles and in-use compliance testing

Rijkeboer, R.C. (author), Bijsterbosch, B.J. (author), Baarbé, H.L. (author), Bata, R. (author), TNO Wegtransportmiddelen (author)

Measurement procedures for the legal limitation of emissions from heavy duty engines should adequately reflect the actual use of such engines in practice. Equally important is the possibility to monitor the emission performance of certified engines on the market. This paper gives a short overview of the experiences with the Dutch in-use...

OBJECTIVE - The high risk for cardiovascular disease in IDDM patients with nephropathy may be mediated by abnormal function of the vascular wall. We investigated whether heparin was able to modulate markers of vascular wall and hemostatic function in patients with incipient nephropathy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - Thirty-five IDDM patients...

Use of a detailed model to study the exchange of NO(x) and O3 above and below a deciduous canopy

Walton, S. (author), Gallagher, M.W. (author), Duyzer, J.H. (author), TNO Milieu, Energie en Procesinnovatie (author)

A 1D deposition model derived from work by Baldocchi, has been used to interpret the exchange of NO, NO2 and O3 measured over an orchard. Where possible, direct measurements from the orchard were used in favour of existing model parameterisations. The model incorporates NO(x)-O3 chemistry and an emission of NO at the air-soil interface. Model...

Opsporing familiaire hypercholesterolemie bij kinderen geindiceerd? Bij uitzondering wel [Search for familial hypercholesterolaemia in children indicated? Only exceptionally]

Gevers Leuven, J.A. (author), TNO Preventie en Gezondheid (author)

Searching for familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) in children is useful only if efficacious treatment is to be administered shortly and if there are relatives with ischaemic heart disease at very early ages. In all other cases, the (psychological) drawbacks probably outweigh the doubtful benefit of early intervention. The search for the major...

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor in endothelial cells colocalizes with glycolipid microdomains/caveolae: Regulatory mechanism(s) of the anticoagulant properties of the endothelium

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), the main downregulator of the procoagulant activity of tissue factor·factor VIIa complex, locates in human endothelial cells (EC) in culture as well-defined clusters uniformly distributed both on the cell surface and intracellularly. We here demonstrate by immunofluorescence that TFPI colocalizes in EC...
