Eikhout, S.M. (author), Bronkhorst, R.E. (author), van der Grinten, M.P. (author)Paint scraping with the traditional triangular scraper is a tiring job causing hazardous forces and high wrist moments (Van Rhijn & Eikhout, 1998). As an answer to those problems the recently developed scraper has been designed with the end user in mind. This paper reviews a field study testing the new product with 20 professional painters. The...conference paper 2001

Langendijk, E.H.A. (author), Kistler, D.J. (author), Wightman, F.L. (author), TNO Technische Menskunde (author)Localizing a target sound can be a challenge when one or more distracter sounds are present at the same time. This study measured the effect of distracter position on target localization for one distracter (17 positions) and two distracters (21 combinations of 17 positions). Listeners were instructed to point to the apparent position of a train...article 2001

Clarenbeek, J. (author), de Leede, J. (author)Werken in teams is nog steeds een populaire bezigheid. Exacte cijfers zijn niet te geven, maar indicaties genoeg: 7% van de organisaties in Nederland heeft teams met veel autonomie, nog eens 40% van de bedrijven heeft ook teams, maar dan met minder bevoegdheden (Benders et al., 1999). Naast het gegeven dat bedrijven er positieve...article 2001

(author), TNO Preventie en Gezondheid (author)Background: In this study we tested the hypothesis that the increased sensitivity to glucocorticoids in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)-patients can be attributed to an altered functioning of their glucocorticoid receptors (GR). Methods: For this purpose, affinity and distribution of the GR were studied in purified, peripheral blood mononuclear...article 2001

The amplifier is realised in the HB20P power HBT process of UMS. The HPA combines a high average output power of 9 Watt with both a high gain of 21.6 dB and a high power added effciency (PAE) of 50% over about 20% bandwidth at the nominal 8 V collector voltage....conference paper 2001
