de Groot, I.B. (author), Otten, W. (author), Dijs-Elsinga, J. (author), Smeets, H.J. (author), Kievit, J. (author), Marang-Van De Mheen, P.J. (author)Objective. Publicly available information on hospital performance is increasing, with the aim to support consumers when choosing a hospital. Besides general hospital information and information on outcomes of care, there is increasing availability of systematically collected information on experiences of other patients. The aim of this study was...article 2012

Grossiord, N. (author), Kroon, J.M. (author), Andriessen, H.A.J.M. (author), Blom, P.W.M. (author)In the present review, the main degradation mechanisms occurring in the different layer stacking (i.e. photoactive layer, electrode, encapsulation film, interconnection) of polymeric organic solar cells and modules are discussed. Bulk and interfacial, as well as chemical and physical degradation mechanisms are reviewed, as well as their...article 2012

Steenbeek, R. (author)The working population is ageing, which will increase the number of workers with chronic health complaints, and, as a consequence, the number of workers seeking health care. It is very important to understand factors that influence medical care-seeking in order to control the costs. I will investigate which work characteristics independently...article 2012

Chen, X. (author), Yuan, C.A. (author), Wong, C.K.Y. (author), Ye, H. (author), Leung, S.Y.Y. (author), Zhang, G. (author)We proposed a molecular modeling methodology to study the protonic acid doping of emeraldine base polyaniline which can used in gas detection. The commercial forcefield COMPASS was used for the polymer and protonic acid molecules. The molecular model, which is capable of representing the polyaniline doping with the aqueous hydrochloric acid, was...article 2012

(author)Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) and its degradation products are analyzed to discriminate between residues originating from PETN explosions and residues obtained under other circumstances, such as natural degradation on textile, or after handling intact PETN. The degradation products observed in post-explosion samples were identified using...article 2012

(author)Background: Antibiotic associated diarrhea and Clostridium difficile infection are frequent complications of broad spectrum antibiotic therapy. Probiotic bacteria are used as therapeutic and preventive agents in these disorders, but the exact functional mechanisms and the mode of action are poorly understood. The effects of clindamycin and the...article 2012

(author)The authors added task-relevant sounds to a computer-mediated instructor in-the-loop virtual training for firefighter commanders in an attempt to raise the engagement and arousal of the users. Computer-mediated training for crew commanders should provide a sensory experience that is sufficiently intense to make the training viable and effective....article 2012

Bouma, R.H.B. (author), Noort, D. (author)The aim of this study is to contribute to improved EOD neutralisation techniques against improvised explosive devices (IEDs) containing chemical agents. The decomposition of dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) when exposed to a burning aluminum/potassium nitrate pyrotechnic mixture is studied experimentally in a calorimetric bomb. The conversion...conference paper 2012

(author)Background Major life events are associated with a change in daily routine and could thus also affect habitual levels of physical activity. Major life events remain largely unexplored as determinants of older adults' participation in physical activity and sports. This study focused on two major life events, widowhood and retirement, and asked...article 2012

van Bentum, C.A. (author), Kalkman, I.M. (author), Geurts, C.P.W. (author)A series of wind tunnels tests are presented on a cube, equipped with a permeable outer layer. The influences of cavity depth and opening width have been investigated. This research shows that a wind direction of 75 degrees with respect to the considered panel gives the highest differential pressures relevant for cladding. For smooth approach...conference paper 2012
