Dual-contrast computed tomography enables detection of equine posttraumatic osteoarthritis in vitro

To prevent the progression of posttraumatic osteoarthritis, assessment of cartilage composition is critical for effective treatment planning. Posttraumatic changes include proteoglycan (PG) loss and elevated water content. Quantitative dual-energy computed tomography (QDECT) provides a means to diagnose these changes. Here, we determine the...

Parsifal the game: A journey into the uncharted territory of theatre and games

Theatrical art and games can mutually benefit each other. In a recent project we explored this proposition. On the one hand, we added game elements to a classical opera performance. The resulting ‘Parsifal the game’ was performed six times for altogether over 400 spectators/players. On the other hand, we investigated how user experiences in...

Mass-balanced stratigraphy: Data-model comparison within a closed sedimentary system (Adriatic Sea, Italy)

Reconstruction of sediment supply from mass accumulation rates in the Northern Adriatic Basin (Italy) over the past 19,000 years

Reconstruction of sediment supply is hampered by the incompleteness of the stratigraphic record. This problem may be partly circumvented by studying mass accumulation rates in closed systems, i.e., basins in which no sediment has bypassed the site of deposition over the time interval of interest. We present time-averaged basin-wide mass...

Greenland Arctic Lake Experiment 2001

In augustus en september 2001 is door mij veldwerk verricht in West-Groenland, wat mede door de financiering van het Molengraaff fonds mogelijk is geworden. Ik heb aan het GALE-project (Greenland Arctic Lake Experiment) onder leiding van dr. N. Willemse, Universiteit Utrecht, mee kunnen doen in het kader van mijn studie fysische geografie aan de...
