TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author), de Jong, A.N. (author), Schwering, P.B.W. (author), Fritz, P.J. (author)The impact of atmospheric turbulence in the marine boundary layer on the performance of ship-borne and coastal optical and infrared surveillance sensors is well known. On the one hand, the detection process may benefit from scintillation of signals from point-like targets at long range, while target identification is hampered by turbulence...conference paper 2009

(author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)Vitamin K prophylaxis is recommended to prevent the hazard of haemorrhage caused by vitamin K deficiency in newborns. The present Dutch guideline recommends 1 mg of vitamin K1 orally at birth, followed by a daily dose of 25 μg of vitamin K1 from 1 to 13 weeks of age for breastfed infants. Since the introduction of this prophylaxis, the incidence...article 2008
