(author), Lucas Luijckx, N.B. (author)Allergenic food particles (typically ~0.5–5 mm) may unintentionally end up in food products during production and can pose a risk for the allergic consumer. A single particle can provoke allergic symptoms in an allergic consumer when the dose of allergenic protein exceeds minimal eliciting doses. However, there is a lack of fundamental knowledge...article 2021

den Hollander, R.J.M. (author), van Rooij, S.B. (author), van den Broek, S.P. (author), Dijk, J. (author)An important surveillance task during naval military operations is early risk assessment of vessels. The potential risk that a vessel poses will depend on the vessel type, and vessel classification is therefore a basic technique in risk assessment. Although automatic identification by AIS is widely available, the AIS transponders can potentially...conference paper 2021
