Bakker, L.G. (author), Hoes-van Oeffelen, E.C.M. (author), Hordijk, G.J. (author), van de Ham, E.R. (author)Overheating in buildings is an increasingly important issue. Various studies show that local personalized cooling can substantially improve comfort levels while saving energy. Airflows are an efficient approach for local cooling. Fluctuating airflows seem more effective and are potentially perceived more comfortable compared to continuous...conference paper 2015

Brasser, P. (author), Prins Maurits Laboratorium TNO (author)The heat load, imposed by air-permeable NBC (nuclear, biological, and chemical)-protective suits, can be reduced by improving the air permeability of the suit. However, increased air permeability will reduce the chemical protective performance, since increasing the air permeability of the NBC-protective material will result in higher air...article 2004

de Kluizenaar, Y. (author), Aherne, J. (author), Farrell, E.P. (author), TNO Bouw (author)The spatial distributions of sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NO(x)) emissions are essential inputs to models of atmospheric transport and deposition. Information of this type is required for international negotiations on emission reduction through the critical load approach. High-resolution emission maps for the Republic of Ireland...article 2001

Brouwer, D.H. (author), Lansink, C.M. (author), Cherrie, J.W. (author), van Hemmen, J.J. (author), Centraal Instituut voor Voedingsonderzoek TNO (author)The range of dermal exposure to non-volatile compounds during spray painting was studied in a semi-experimental study involving three enterprises and 12 painters. A fluorescent tracer was added to the paint and deposition of the tracer on clothing and uncovered parts of the skin was assessed using video imaging and processing techniques. A...article 2000

Instituut voor Zintuigfysiologie TNO (author), Lotens, W.A. (author)The effect of geometric factors on insulation was calculated mathematically for standing humans. It was found that internal radiative heat transfer in an ensemble was significant for insulation, that intrinsic clothing insulation is a useful concept only for indoor climates, and that shape plays a minor role. The literature agrees closely on...article 1989

Bos, R. (author), Guicherit, R. (author), Hoogeveen, A. (author), Instituut voor Milieuhygiëne en Gezondheidstechniek TNO (author)The relative concentrations of hydrocarbons in the atmosphere may provide information concerning their origin. It appears that the hydrocarbon composition measured in Delft (The Netherlands) is entirely different for northern and southern wind directions. This points to different sources. The most important sources for this area are natural gas...article 1977
