Background Total laryngectomy with or without adjuvant (chemo)radiation often induces speech, swallowing and neck and shoulder problems. Speech, swallowing and shoulder exercises may prevent or diminish these problems. The aim of the present paper is to describe the study, which is designed to investigate …

Halverwege de jaren zestig van de negentiende eeuw heeft Haarlem acht bordelen met een vergunning. Tien jaar later zijn vrijwel alle eigenaren vertrokken of hebben ze tenminste hun bedrijf gesloten. Slechts één bordeel in de stad weet het vol te houden tot de invoering van het bordeelverbod rond 1900. …

Over the past decade, the nonprofit sector has seen drastic changes in regard to the way it attracts resources; government subsidies have decreased substantially and nonprofit organizations report ever fewer donations - leaving them in search of additional sources of revenue. As a result, many nonprofit …

Seven new 1,3,5-cyclohexyltricarboxamide-phenylalanine derivatives were synthesized in order to investigate the effect of the amino acid chirality on the gelating properties of these small molecules in water. Gelation tests have shown that enantiomerically pure homochiral 1,3,5-cyclohexyltricarboxamide-L-phenylalanine …

pH-sensitive gels: By using a cyclohexane-based scaffold to which various amino acid based substituents can be connected, low-molecular-weight compounds were obtained that can gelate water at very low concentrations. Their modular design (see picture: AA = amino acid(s), X = hydrophilic substituent, …

The concurrent self-assembly of new 1,3,5-trisamide-cyclohexane-based low molecular weight hydrogelators and various surfactants in water leads to the formation of self-assembled fibrillar networks with encapsulated micelles. This prototype system presents an example of orthogonal self-assembly, that …
