Sharma, M.K. (author), Frijns, A.J.H. (author), Mandamparambil, R. (author), Kooman, J.P. (author), Smeulders, D.M.J. (author)Patients with end stage renal disease are dependent on dialysis. In most outpatient centers, the dialysate is prepared with a fixed electrolyte concentration without taking into account the inter-individual differences of essential electrolytes (sodium, potassium and calcium). This one-size fits all approach can lead to acute and chronic...conference paper 2017

van Binsbergen, S.A. (author), van Zelderen, B. (author), Veraar, R.G. (author), Bouquet, F. (author), Halswijk, W.H.C. (author), Schleijpen, H.M.A. (author)In performance prediction of IR sensor systems for missile detection, apart from the sensor specifications, target signatures are essential variables. Very often, for velocities up to Mach 2-2.5, a simple model based on the aerodynamic heating of a perfect gas was used to calculate the temperatures of missile targets. This typically results in...conference paper 2017

(author)Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are of interest due to their antimicrobial activity and are seen as potential candidates to replace antibiotics in animal husbandry. A few studies have focused on this new application, but they lack any considerations about residual accumulation of AgNPs in edible animal tissues and animal products. In this research,...article 2017

Jacobs, P. (author), Cornelissen, H.J.M. (author)Recirculation hoods equipped with carbon and plasma filters are becoming more and more popular. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of recirculation hoods with regard to PM2.5 and NOx removal in a 26 m3 lab kitchen with a gas furnace. With the carbon filter PM2.5 is reduced for about 30%. A fresh carbon filter removed about...conference paper 2017
