Immunologic activity of schistosomal and bacterial TLR2 ligands in Gabonese children

Schistosomes carry lipid moieties that interact with the immune system. To understand the consequence of interactions in terms of polarizing the cytokine profiles, the effect of two Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2) activating schistosomal lipid fractions was studied on whole blood from Gabonese children living in a schistosomiasis endemic area. One...

A longitudinal driver model for modelling cooperative road-side and in-vehicle systems with the its modeller

The need for evaluation of ITS systems requires new modelling tools that allow a detailed modelling of both the roadside and the in-vehicle systems. One of the elements needed is a reliable longitudinal driver model. In this paper we outline the requirements of such a model and review the models that are available in the literature. We select...

Development of a micro-simulation model to predict road traffic safety on intersections with surrogate safety measures

This paper describes an ongoing research project at TNO in the Netherlands for assessing the safety of road networks using micro-simulation techniques. A benefit of micro-simulation comes from the ability to evaluate the safety of new ITS systems, new infrastructure design, management strategies and different traffic compositions beforehand. The...

The work-life balance and job satisfaction: results of Netherlands monitoring data

The seminar was divided into three parts: a conceptual discussion; an examination of job satisfaction and work organisation; and an examination of job satisfaction and work–life balance. Session three: job satisfaction and work-life balance

Introduction

The development of a specific detector for biological warfare agent particles

This paper describes the latest achievements in the development of a new rapid detector for biological warfare agents (BWA). The system uses aerodynamic particle sizing and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI ATOFMS) to analyse individual aerosol particles sampled directly from the...

Configuring the digital city of Amsterdam: Social learning in experimentation

Design and dispersion of new socio-technological configurations are studied by many varying sorts of scientific disciplines, ranging from communication studies to technology studies. In this article, the configuration and appropriation of new socio-technical constituencies are studied and subsequently interpreted in terms of a rather novel...

Barrier Ëunction in Reconstructed Epidermis and Its Resembiance to Native Human Skin

One of the prerequisitesforthe use of human skin equivalents for scientific and screening purposes is that their barrierfunction is similar to that of native skin. Using human epidermis reconstructed en de-epidermized dermis we demonstrated that the formation of the stratum corneum (SC) barrier in vitro proceeds similarly as in vivo as judged...

The development of a universal procedure for archive assessment

A model for calculating the assessment or consultability of archives was developed. This model includes an archive sampling procedure, defining damage profiles, damage sub-profiles and the development of a classifier. Research showed that the whole model developed is reliable and can be carried out easily.
