van Verseveld, M.D.A. (author), Fekkes, M. (author), Fukkink, R.G. (author), Oostdam, R.J. (author)Although anti-bullying programs often include a component that focuses on strengthening teachers’ abilities in identifying and addressing bullying, it is not clear which bullying situations teachers find difficult to address and what type of support is needed.

Pieters, S. (author), Burk, W.J. (author), Vorst, H.V.D. (author), Engels, R.C. (author), Wiers, R.W. (author)Background: Dual process models suggest that the development of addictive behaviors is the result of interplay between impulsive and reflective processes, modulated by boundary conditions such as individual or situational factors. Empirical support for this model has been repeatedly demonstrated in adult samples [for a meta-analysis, see Ref. (1...article 2014

Vakili, V. (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author), Morina, N. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)In the last two decades, several effective virtual reality-based interventions for anxiety disorders have been developed. Virtual reality interventions can also be used to build resilience to psychopathology for populations at risk of exposure to traumatic experiences and developing mental disorders as a result, such as for people working in...article 2014

(author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) is a promising contribution to reduce further increase of atmospheric CO2 emissions from fossil fuels. The CCS concept anticipates that large amounts of CO2 are going to be stored in the subsurface for the long term. Since CCS is a rather new technology, uncertainties related with the future evolution of...article 2009

van der Schaaf, J. (author), Beerkens, R.G.C. (author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)A dynamic model for describing the build-up and breakdown of a glass-melt foam is presented. The foam height is determined by the gas flux to the glass-melt surface and the drainage rate of the liquid lamellae between the gas bubbles. The drainage rate is determined by the average gas bubble radius and the physical properties of the glass melt:...article 2006

(author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)The health risks of inhalation exposure to volatile organic solvents may not only depend on the total external dose, but also on the pattern of exposure. It has been suggested that exposure to regularly occurring peak concentrations may have a stronger impact on the brain than constant exposure at the same average level. Recent animal...article 2005
