Kajosaari, R. (author), Langius, E. (author), Holmström, J. (author), TNO Informatie- en Communicatietechnologie (author)Item-centric control and information management is a potential solution to establish economically and practically feasible Concurrent Enterprises. The economical feasibility of item-centric tracking is based on recent technological developments for monitoring the material flow on the item-level instead of the material type-level. Item-centric...conference paper 2007

van Dijk, D. (author)Met de invoering op 1 januari 2008 van de EPBD wordt in ons land het energielabel verplicht. Dit label voor de bestaande bouw is nieuw. Voor de nieuwbouw kent Nederland al de EPN. Al enige tijd werkt NEN aan een norm die de huidige EPN-normen voor een woning- en utiliteitsbouw gaat integreren met de Europese EPDB-normen. Dit wordt de Energie...article 2007

Joint bleeding, or hemarthrosis, leads in time to severe joint damage. This study was carried out to test the in vitro thresholds of exposure time and concentration that lead to irreversible joint damage, to add to the discussion on the usefulness of aspiration of the joint after a hemorrhage. Methods. Explants of healthy human...article 2007

(author), Dijkstra, C.D. (author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)The scavenger receptor CD163 is selectively expressed on tissue macrophages and human monocytes. CD163 has been implicated to play a role in the clearance of hemoglobin and in the regulation of cytokine production by macrophages. Membrane CD163 can be cleaved by matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) resulting in soluble CD163 (sCD163). In the present...article 2007

We show, given an arbitrary discrete memoryless channel with noiselessfeedback, that the repetition parameters should be chosen close to the self information of a transmissionerror to maximise the...article 2007

Mantel, O.C. (author), Oostveen, J.C. (author), Popova, M.P. (author), TNO Informatie- en communicatietechnologie (author)Deterministic propagation models based on ray tracing or ray launching are widely studied in the scientific literature, because of their high accuracy. Also many commercial propagation modelling tools include ray-based models. In spite of this, they are hardly used in commercial operations by cellular operators. In this article we study the...conference paper 2007

Previous studies suggest that antineoplastic drugs at occupational exposure levels may be toxic to reproduction, but these studies are not consistent or conclusive. METHODS: Self-administered questionnaires were completed by 4393 exposed...article 2007
