Spational modeling of a sustainable gas supply chain by matching supply and demand Biogas production from co-digestion of cattle manure and biomass can have a significant contribution to a sustainable gas supply when this gas is upgraded to specifications prescribed for injection into the national gas …

The main purpose of this report is to give an account of the most appropriate roles and arrangements that non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can assume in the newly created, UN-administered, Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES).

Glucocorticoids (GCs), such as prednisolone (PRED), are widely prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs, but their use may induce glucose intolerance and diabetes. GC-induced beta cell dysfunction contributes to these diabetogenic effects through mechanisms that remain to be elucidated. In this study, we hypothesized …

Biogas production from codigestion of cattle manure and biomass can have a significant contribution to a sustainable gas supply when this gas is upgraded to specifications prescribed for injection into the national gas grid and injected into this grid. In this study, we analyzed such a gas supply chain …

Introduction: Youth activity guideline compliance is generally low across most western countries and Dutch youth are no exception to this. Thirty-two percent of 4-11 year old boys and girls, and 15% of 12-17 year olds are currently meeting the physical activity (PA) guideline recommendations of one hour …

In the Da Nang Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Centre (DNORC) many below-knee prosthesis are prescribed. These modular prostheses are developed and designed by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). For many years, the prostheses are used successfully. In the current situation, it is assumed …

BACKGROUND: Chest physiotherapy is widely prescribed to assist the clearance of airway secretions in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). Positive expiratory pressure (PEP) devices provide constant back pressure to the airways during expiration. This may improve clearance by building up gas behind mucus …
