Calcium phosphate and struvite crystallization has been widely studied for phosphate removal and recovery from urban wastewater. In this study, calcium phosphate and struvite crystallization were carried out in a fluidized-bed reactor. Experimental values of the P concentration ranged from 117-1000 mg …

Door recente verlaging van de equivalente dosis van de ooglens van 150 mSv naar 20 mSv per jaar, is het belang van goed monitoren van ontvangen dosis nog belangrijker geworden. In deze studie is onderzocht wat de stralenbelasting is van interventiecardiologen, cardio-thoracaalchirurg, cardio-anesthesiologen …

Marine debris is a growing global problem. Due to the wide ocean dynamics worldwide, predicting the transport of floating marine debris, such as plastic, is difficult. Although large-scale distribution patterns and accumulation zones are recognised and reproduced by numerical models, small-scale prediction …

Dynamic stall phenomena carry the risk of negative damping and instability in wind turbine blades. It is crucial to model these phenomena accurately to reduce inaccuracies in predicting design driving (fatigue and extreme) loads. Some of the inaccuracies in current dynamic stall models may be due to …

Development of novel testing strategies to detect adverse human health effects is of interest to replace in vivo-based drug and chemical safety testing. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether physiologically based kinetic (PBK) modeling-facilitated conversion of in vitro toxicity data …

Horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) experience three-dimensional rotational and unsteady aerodynamic phenomena at the rotor blades sections. These highly unsteady three-dimensional effects have a dramatic impact on the aerodynamic load distributions on the blades, in particular, when they occur at …

As every new generation of civil aircraft creates more on-wing data and fleets gradually become more connected with the ground, an increased number of opportunities can be identified for more effective Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) operations. Data are becoming a valuable asset for aircraft …

PURPOSE: Premorbid conditions affect prognosis of acutely-ill aged patients. Several lines of evidence suggest geriatric syndromes need to be assessed but little is known on their relative effect on the 30-day survival after ICU admission. The primary aim of this study was to describe the prevalence …

BACKGROUND: Currently used performance measures for discrimination were not informative to determine the clinical benefit of predictor variables. The purpose was to evaluate if a former relevant predictor, kinesiophobia, remained clinically relevant to predict chronic occupational low back pain (LBP) …
