2016 Emission factors for diesel Euro-6 passenger cars, light commercial vehicles and Euro-VI trucksHeijne, V.A.M. (author), Ligterink, N.E. (author), Stelwagen, U. (author)The importance of emission factors for air quality measurements A frequent monitoring of the air quality is needed to ensure a healthy living environment. In the Netherlands, the air quality is monitored through direct measurements in a program called ‘Landelijk Meetnet Luchtkwaliteit’. Additionally, calculations of the air quality are performed...report 2016

Klop, W.A. (author), Verlaan, A.L. (author)The CHEOPS mission (CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite) is dedicated to searching for exoplanetary transits by performing ultra-high precision photometry on bright stars already known to host planets. A 32cm diameter on-axis Ritchey-Chrétien telescope is used for imaging onto a single cooled detector. With integration times up to 48 hours the...conference paper 2016

Detection of the mechanism of immunotoxicity of cyclosporine A in murine in vitro and in vivo modelsSchmeits, P.C.J. (author), Schaap, M.M. (author), Luijten, M. (author), van Someren, E. (author), Boorsma, A. (author), van Loveren, H. (author), Peijnenburg, A.A.C.M. (author), Hendriksen, P.J.M. (author)Transcriptomics in combination with in vitro cell systems is a powerful approach to unravel modes of action of toxicants. An important question is to which extent the modes of action as revealed by transcriptomics depend on cell type, species and study type (in vitro or in vivo). To acquire more insight into this, we assessed the transcriptomic...article 2015

Balau, A.E. (author), Kooijman, D. (author), Vazquez Rodarte, I. (author), Ligterink, N. (author)This paper presents a methodology and tool that stochastically generates drive cycles based on measured data, with the purpose of testing and benchmarking light duty vehicles in a simulation environment or on a test-bench. The WLTP database, containing real world driving measurements, was used as input data. Consequently cycles that contain...article 2015

Kooijman, D.G. (author), Balau, A.E. (author), Wilkins, S. (author), Ligterink, N. (author), Cuelenaere, R. (author)European light duty vehicle emission legislation is gradually shifting the focus from test procedures with merely static test cycles, towards procedures including Real Driving Emissions (RDE), as they are a mean to achieve the European (NOx) emission reduction target. Hence a RDE trip must represent European driving behavior, such that «real...conference paper 2015
