Om tot een circulaire economie te komen, ontstaan er nieuwe initiatieven om organisch afval decentraal/ lokaal te verwerken tot compost. Deze initiatieven maken gebruik van nieuwe meetsystemen, die procesdata genereren om de verwerking van afval tot grondstof beter te kunnen besturen. De huidige sensoren …

The use of molecular tools for the detection and identification of invertebrate species enables the development of more easily standardisable inventories of biological elements for water quality assessments, as it circumvents human-based bias and errors in species identifications. Current Ecological …

Rationale: Diagnosis of sarcopenia in older adults is essential for early treatment in clinical practice. Bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA) may be a valid means to assess appendicular lean mass (ALM) in older adults, but limited evidence is available. Therefore, we aim to evaluate the validity …

In this study, we examined the effects of a defender contesting jump shots on performance and gaze behaviors of basketball players taking jump shots. Thirteen skilled youth basketball players performed 48 shots from about 5 m from the basket; 24 uncontested and 24 contested. The participants wore mobile …

The critical care community still has mixed feelings when considering the optimal nutrition of intensive care unit (ICU) patients, which is understandable as randomized controlled trials have not been very helpful in improving clinical practice. There have been no randomized controlled trials (RCTs) …

Normal is a concept that stems from two very interesting mathematical concepts: the normal distribution and the central limit theorem. People possess infinite numbers of properties. By far the most are unknown, they don’t matter to our reality. However, through our knowledge systems - perception and …

Background: Aging is accompanied by a progressive loss of muscle mass and muscle strength, also called sarcopenia. Adequate protein intake and distribution influences myofibrillar protein synthesis (MPS) and might therefore be important in the prevention of sarcopenia. Whether the daily amount and distribution …

This work examined window/door opening as means of bedroom ventilation and the consequent effect upon occupants’ sleep, using data from 17 healthy volunteers. Bedroom CO2 level, temperature, and relative humidity were measured over 5 days, for two cases: open window or door (internal, bedroom door), …
