Effects of plasma surface treatments on morphology and surface chemistry: Improving adhesion of powder coating systems to polypropylene substrates.

With sufficient electrical energy CO2 from the atmosphere, combined with water, can be converted to hydrocarbons. The first step in converting CO2 into a carbon based fuel is the dissociation of CO2 into CO and O. DIFFER explores the possibilities of this process by using a microwave plasma. This project …

Het NKI is een oncologisch onderzoekscentrum waar wetenschappelijk onderzoek gedaan wordt naar verschillende soorten kanker. Op de afdeling Bio-Farmacologie wordt er voornamelijk onderzoek gedaan naar geneesmiddelen, of een combinatie ervan, die hersentumoren bestrijden. Er worden in vitro en in vivo …

Exercise is one of the external factors associated with impairment of intestinal integrity, possibly leading to increased permeability and altered absorption. Here, we aimed to examine to what extent endurance exercise in the glycogen‐depleted state can affect intestinal permeability toward small molecules …

Plasma gasification has been studied as a new technology which may combine bio-waste treatment and energy generation. Currently, a setup for carrying out gasification experiments has been built up in order to obtain more experimental data for further research. According to previous experimental results, …

Insulin resistance is common among children with overweight and obesity. However, knowledge about glucose fluctuations in these children is scarce. This study aims to evaluate glycaemic profiles in children with overweight and obesity in free-living conditions, and to examine the association between …

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Higher interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) is associated with higher predialysis blood pressure and increased mortality. IDWG is also increasingly being recognized as an indicator of nutritional status. We studied in detail the associations of various patient factors and nutritional parameters …

Postprandial high glucose and insulin responses after starchy food consumption, associated with an increased risk of developing several metabolic diseases, could possibly be improved by altering food structure. We investigated the influence of a compact food structure; different wheat products with a …

Het toepassen van groeifactoren bij de behandeling van de diabetische voet heeft als doel de wondgenezing te versnellen. Door te weinig informatie over het toepassen van PRP bij de behandeling van de diabetische voet, is het nog onduidelijk of deze behandeling effectief en efficiënt genoeg blijkt. Hierdoor …

Inleiding: Knie-artrose of gonartrose is een aandoening van het kniegewricht en wordt als een van de meest voorkomende oorzaken van invaliditeit genoemd. Startstijfheid in combinatie met pijn is kenmerkend echter, het is niet precies bekend waardoor pijn wordt veroorzaakt. Voor behandeling van gonartrose …
