Ecosystem engineering research has recently demonstrated the fundamental importance of non-trophic interactions for food-web structure. Particularly, by creating benign conditions in stressful environments, ecosystem engineers create hot beds of elevated levels of recruitment, growth, and survival of …

A few years ago the Dutch government set goals for sustainability. These goals include switching to fully sustainable energy production by 2050. Using only conventional sustainable energy production methods like solar panels and wind turbines will not result in achieving the set goals, so alternative …

BACKGROUND: Postprocedural complications after elective cardiac interventions include hematomas and infections. Telemedical wound assessment using mobile phones with integrated cameras may improve quality of care and help reduce costs. AIMS: We aimed to study the feasibility of telemedical wound assessment …

Hospital care and communication tend to be focused on the individual patient, and decision making is typically based on the principle of individual autonomy. It can be questioned whether this approach is adequate when a patient is terminally ill.

De gewone pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is een fruitboom die van oorsprong te vinden is in Noord-Amerika. Deze soort is de enige in de Annonaceae familie die kan overleven in een gematigd klimaat. Het fruit van de pawpaw is zeer gezond en heeft een tropische smaak, maar omdat het erg slecht houdbaar is, is …

In de agri en foodsector is momenteel veel aandacht voor het verkorten van de ketens. Een belangrijke oorzaak hiervoor is dat in de agrarische sector een oneerlijke financiële verdeling is ontstaan. De ketens zijn langer geworden in de afgelopen jaren waardoor de productie van landbouwproducten kon toenemen, …

Abstract gepubliseerd in Elsevier: For patients with intermediate- and high risk prostate cancer, treated with high dose radiotherapy, the CTV generally involves the prostate and (part of) the seminal vesicles (SV) [1,2]. Fiducial markers locate the prostate reliably during radiotherapy [3]. However …

Abstract Background: Currently, health care and medical decision-making at the end of life for older people are often insufficiently patient-centred. In this trial we study the effects of Advance Care Planning (ACP), a formalised process of timely communication about care preferences at the end of life, …
