GaiaNIR - A future all-sky astrometry mission

With the launch of Gaia in December 2013, Europe entered a new era of space astrometry following in the footsteps of the very successful Hipparcos mission. A weakness of Gaia is that it only operates at optical wavelengths. However, much of the Galactic centre and the spiral arm regions are obscured by interstellar extinction. An obvious improvement on Gaia is to include the Near-Infra-Red (NIR) w

COCOA Code for Creating Mock Observations of Star Cluster Models

We introduce and present results from the cocoa (Cluster simulatiOn Comparison with ObservAtions) code that has been developed to create idealized mock photometric observations using results from numerical simulations of star cluster evolution. cocoa is able to present the output of realistic numerical simulations of star clusters carried out using Monte Carlo or N-body codes in a way that is usef

Tax reactions on entrepreneurial philanthropy : The case of the Netherlands

Companies and corporate foundations have become important players in philanthropy. For many companies, philanthropy is part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy. They brought their entrepreneurial customs, values and expectations into the world of philanthropy. This gave rise to new forms of philanthropy next to the conventional form of donations. These developments lead to severa

Robotics and ISA 88 Batch Control Standard - Opportunities and Challenges

Manufacturing processes can generally be classified as continuous, discrete or batch. An industrially well accepted way of structuring and controlling batch processes is presented in the ISA 88 standard (also known as IEC 61512). In exploring how this standard also could be used for discrete manufacturing processes, especially in robotic applications, different challenges and opportunities are fou

Can dressings soaked with polyhexanide reduce bacterial loads in full-thickness skin grafting? A randomized controlled trial

Background Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB)-based antiseptic solutions can reduce bacterial loads in different clinical settings and are believed to lower risk of infections. Objective We sought to assess the efficacy of a PHMB-based solution in lowering bacterial loads of full-thickness skin grafting wounds and the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs). Methods In this double-blinded clinical

Solid-state and diffusion NMR spectroscopy as applied to characterization of complex formulated products and biological materials

Solid-state and diffusion NMR spectroscopy are versatile tools that allow for studies of both structure and dynamics of complex solid and semisolid materials. We have developed a suit of pulse sequences based on polarization transfer that is readily applied to studies of formulations and their interactions with biological systems. In the present paper, we illustrate its applicability by using an i
