De waterkwaliteit van het oppervlaktewater in het beheergebied van Waterschap Peel en Maasvallei wordt sterk beïnvloed door de huidige landbouw, nalevering uit de bodem en water dat over de landsgrenzen binnenkomt. De verwachting is dat de nalevering uit de bodem nog tientallen jaren de waterkwaliteit …

The Pierre Auger group is studying ultra-high energy cosmic rays. Cosmic rays are charged particles which permanently hit and penetrate the atmosphere of the Earth. They will at a certain moment collide with nuclei in the atmosphere, like nitrogen. The results of such an interaction are new particles, …

In this article we investigate the change in wetting behavior of inkjet printed materials on either hydrophilic or hydrophobic plasma treated patterns, to determine the minimum obtainable track width using selective patterned μPlasma printing. For Hexamethyl-Disiloxane (HMDSO)/N2 plasma, a decrease in …

Inkjet printing is a rapidly growing technology for depositing functional materials in the production of organic electronics. Challenges lie among others in the printing of high resolution patterns with high aspect ratio of functional materials to obtain the needed functionality like e.g. conductivity. …

A high resolution infrared spectrum of species formed in a nitrogen-hydrogen plasma expansion was recorded. A cavity ring down detection scheme was used to record a rotationally resolved spectrum in the region from 3300 cm-1 to 3380 cm-1. Using the relative intensities and line positions it was determined …

Hoge stikstofdepositie leidt in voedselarme ecosystemen nog steeds tot een overschrijding van de maximum tolerantiegrens. De overmatige stikstofdepositie werkt niet alleen in op planten(gemeenschappen) en herbivoren maar de grotere hoeveelheid beschikbare stikstof werkt door op het gehele ecosysteem. …

That sulfur is essential to humans is based on the requirement of S-animo acids for normal growth and maintenance of nitrogen balance and not on the optimization of metabolic proccesses involving the synthesis of non-protein sulphur containing compounds. This paper reviews the significance of sulfur …

Bisphosphonates (BPs) are widely used in the treatment of osteolytic bone disease associated with multiple myeloma, and have been demonstrated to exert antitumor effects both in vitro and in vivo. However, the precise molecular mechanisms involved in the direct antitumor effects of BPs in vitro are not …
