Burghouts, G.J. (author), Schutte, K. (author)Many human actions are correlated, because of compound and/or sequential actions, and similarity. Indeed, human actions are highly correlated in human annotations of 48 actions in the 4,774 videos from visint.org. We exploit such correlations to improve the detection of these 48 human actions, ranging from simple actions such as walk to complex...conference paper 2012

Lindenburg, P.W. (author), Tempels, F.W.A. (author), Tjaden, U.R. (author), van der Greef, J. (author), Hankemeier, T. (author)Electroextraction (EE) takes place in a two-phase liquid-liquid system, consisting of an aqueous and an organic phase, where an applied electric field causes ions to be extracted from one phase into the other, to be concentrated close after the liquid-liquid interface. The extraction takes place in a wide-bore capillary that is connected to a 2...article 2012

Dent, M.P. (author), Wolterbeek, A.P.M. (author), Russell, P.J. (author), Bradford, R. (author)Hoodia gordonii extract was orally administered by gavage to groups of 22 female New Zealand white rabbits from day 3-28 after mating at doses of 0 (control), 3, 6 or 12. mg/kg bodyweight/day. These doses were reached by a dose escalation phase between days 3 and 7 after mating. As well as a vehicle control group, a control group pair-fed to the...article 2012

Dent, M.P. (author), Wolterbeek, A.P.M. (author), Russell, P.J. (author), Bradford, R. (author)Hoodia gordonii extract (0, 5, 15 or 50. mg/kg body weight/day, n= 24 mice/group) was orally administered by gavage to female CD-1 mice from gestation days 5-17. On gestation day 18 the females were euthanized and examined. Treatment at 50. mg/kg/day caused a marked reduction in feed intake and body weight gain. Feed consumption was sporadically...article 2012

Hanea, A. (author), Hanea, R. (author), Zilko, A. (author)The objective of reservoir engineering is to optimize hydrocarbon recovery. One of the most common and efficient recovery processes is water injection. The water is pumped into the reservoir in injection wells in order to push the oil trapped in the porous media towards the production wells. The movement of the water front depends on the...conference paper 2012
