Shipping activities are increasing with sea ice receding in the Arctic, leading to higher risks of accidents and oil spills. Because Arctic toxicity data are limited, oil spill risk assessments for the Arctic are challenging to conduct. In the present study, we tested if acute oil toxicity metrics obtained …

Dibasic Magnesium Hypochlorite as an Oxidant to Tune Pasting Properties of Potato Starch in One Step

Broekman, J.O.P.; Dijkhuis, Brian W.; Thomann, Johanna A.; Heeres, André (Biobased Chemistry & Refinery); Heeres, Hero J.; Deuss, Peter J.

Modified starches are used widely in the food industry but often have a low nutritional value, lacking minerals vital for the human body, such as magnesium. Magnesium addition to native starches has been shown to result in changes in pasting properties. However, little work has been done on the addition …

Individualising thermal comfort models for older people

Larissa Arakawa Martins; Terence Williamson; Helen Bennetts; Jian Zuo; Renuka Visvanathan; Alana Hansen; Dino Pisaniello; Joost van Hoof (Lector); Veronica Soebarto

As people age, physiological changes affect their thermal perception, sensitivity and regulation. The ability to respond effectively to temperature fluctuations is compromised with physiological ageing, upsetting the homeostatic balance of health in some. As a result, older people can become vulnerable …

Dietary Supplementation with Nondigestible Oligosaccharides Reduces Allergic Symptoms and Supports Low Dose Oral Immunotherapy in a Peanut Allergy Mouse Model

Laura Wagenaar (Onderzoeker); Marianne Bol-Schoenmakers (Onderzoeker); Giulio Giustarini (Onderzoeker); Marlotte M. Vonk (Onderzoeker); Betty C.A.M. van Esch (Onderzoeker); Léon M.J. Knippels (Onderzoeker); Johan Garssen (Onderzoeker); Joost Smit (Onderzoeker); Raymond Pieters (Lector)

Abstract 1 Scope A major downside of oral immunotherapy (OIT) for food allergy is the risk of severe side effects. Non‐digestible short‐ and long‐chain fructo‐oligosaccharides (scFOS/lcFOS) reduce allergy development in murine models. Therefore, it is hypothesized that scFOS/lcFOS can also support …

The cooling effect of different water bodies in Amsterdam during hot days

Klok, Lisette

Urban green and shading are adaptation measures that reduce urban heat. This is evident from meteorological measurements and investigations with surveys and has been described in many papers (e.g. Klemm et al., 2015). The cooling effect of these adaptation measures is reflected by lower air temperatures …

Mechanical efficiency in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Willem Gosens; Alex van 't Hul; Joost Oomen; Matthijs Hesselink; Lars Borghouts

The primary aims of this study were (1) to evaluate whole-body mechanical efficiency (ME) in a large group of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with a wide range of degrees of illness and (2) to examine how ME in COPD is related to absolute work rate and indices of disease severity …

The efficacy of oral and subcutaneous antigen-specific immunotherapy in murine cow's milk- and peanut allergy models

Marlotte M. Vonk (Onderzoeker); Laura Wagenaar (Onderzoeker); Raymond Pieters (Lector); Léon M.J. Knippels (Onderzoeker); L.E.M. Willemsen (Onderzoeker); J.J. Smit (Onderzoeker); BCAM van Esch (Onderzoeker); J. Garssen (Onderzoeker)

From Pubmed: " BACKGROUND: Antigen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) is a promising therapeutic approach for both cow's milk allergy (CMA) and peanut allergy (PNA), but needs optimization in terms of efficacy and safety. AIM: Compare oral immunotherapy (OIT) and subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) in …
