Dittrich, M.G. (author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)The IMAGINE railway traffic noise source model is described, which is a further elaboration and completion of the Harmonoise model. Within the EU project Harmonoise, a model was proposed including most of the main railway noise sources. In the IMAGINE project, complete formulation was put forward taking all relevant physical sources but also...article 2007

(author), Aerts, J.M. (author), Smilde, A.K. (author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)SELDI-TOF-MS is rapidly gaining popularity as a screening tool for clinical applications of proteomics. Application of adequate statistical techniques in all the stages from measurement to information is obligatory. One of the statistical methods often used in proteomics is classification: the assignment of subjects to discrete categories, for...article 2007

Geurts, C.P.W. (author), van Bentum, C.A. (author)De onderzoeksraad voor Veiligheid publiceerde in november 2006 het rapport 'Veiligheidsproblemen met gevelbekleding' van grote gebouwen. In een van de onderzochte projecten kwam het belang van windtunnelonderzoek naar voren. De windbelasting op gevelsystemen blijkt namelijk niet voor alle gevallen eenduidig met de huidige regelgeving te bepalen....article 2007

Kerstholt, J.H. (author), Paashuis, R. (author), Sjerps, M. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)As trace evidence is becoming more and more important in legal cases it has to be ascertained that accurate judgments are made. In the present study we investigated how expectations and complexity affect shoe print examinations and to what extent differences exist between beginners and experienced examiners. Twelve examiners assessed similarity...article 2007

van Walree, P.A. (author), Neasham, J.A. (author), Schrijver, M.C. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)High-rate acoustic communication experiments were conducted in a dynamic estuarine environment. Two current profilers deployed in a shipping lane were interfaced with acoustic modems, which modulated and transmitted the sensor readings every 200 s over a period of four days. QPSK modulation was employed at a raw data rate of 8 kbit/ s on a 12...article 2007

Visser, A. (author), Broers, H.P. (author), Bierkens, M.F.P. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)The production of gases in groundwater under contaminated locations by geochemical and biological processes is not uncommon. Degassing of these gases from groundwater and repartitioning of noble gases between water and gas phase distorts groundwater dating by 3H/3He. We observed noble gas concentrations below atmospheric equilibrium in 20 out of...article 2007

The effect of high ambient temperature on GE during cycling will be studied, with the intent of determining if a heat-induced change in GE could account for the performance decrements in time trial...article 2007
