Genomic diversity and ecology of human-associated Akkermansia species in the gut microbiome revealed by extensive metage...
...
Background: Akkermansia muciniphila is a human gut microbe with a key role in the physiology of the intestinal mucus layer and reported associations with decreased body mass and increased gut barrier function and health. Despite its biomedical relevance, the genomic diversity of A. muciniphila remains understudied and that of closely related specie...
Selective particle control in suspensions using multi-wavelength resonators : Towards acoustophoresis on centimeter scal...
Particulate suspensions occur in many different industrial activities, for example in food, biomedical and pharmaceutical industries. These suspensions usually need a treatment step to separate valuable particles from the wet process streams or purify the streams. Such treatments may be needed at any stage during the process. Many technologies exis...
Milieurisico bestrijdingsmiddelen en veterinaire stoffen in mest via effecten op de voedselketen voor weidevogels
In 2019, a report was issued by Buijs en Samwel-Mantingh which claimed a possible relation between the occurrence of pesticides and veterinary drugs in manure and the decline of farmland birds, which feed on (soil) invertebrates allegedly impacted by these substances. The current research project provides an in-depth analysis of the reliability of ...
Modelling Ion Transfer Through Ion Exchange Membranes In Electrodialysis For Multi-Ionic Solutions.
Poster and abstract:
Water reuse is one of the solutions to prevent depletion of freshwater resources. However, continuous use of water in closed cycle systems can result in accumulation of specific ions in the water cycle, which limits the possibilities for re-use applications. Especially in agriculture, accumulation of sodium ion (Na+) in the irri...
Updated tropospheric chemistry reanalysis and emission estimates, TCR-2, for 2005-2018
...
This study presents the results from the Tropospheric Chemistry Reanalysis version 2 (TCR-2) for the period 2005-2018 at 1.1 horizontal resolution obtained from the assimilation of multiple updated satellite measurements of ozone, CO, NO2, HNO3, and SO2 from the OMI, SCIAMACHY, GOME-2, TES, MLS, and MOPITT satellite instruments. The reanalysis calc...
Ion complexation modelling of ferrihydrite : From fundamentals of metal (hydr)oxide nanoparticles to applications in soi...
Ferrihydrite (Fh) is the most important iron (hydr)oxide nanoparticle in nature. Due to its large surface reactivity, Fh influences the cycling, availability, and mobility of nutrients and pollutants in soils and water bodies, largely via adsorption processes. Ferrihydrite also forms stable complexes with natural organic matter (NOM), contributing ...
Enhanced nutrient supply and intestinal microbiota development in very low birth weight infants
...
Background: Promoting a healthy intestinal microbiota may have positive effects on short- and long-term outcomes in very low birth weight (VLBW; BW
Zooplankton grazing selectivity regulates herbivory and dominance of toxic phytoplankton over multiple prey generations
How grazer selectivity regulates the primary producer community is a core topic in ecology. Yet, the role of zooplankton grazing selection on phytoplankton dynamics is poorly understood. Few studies have compared the effect of grazers with contrasting selectivity on mixed phytoplankton prey, and none over multiple phytoplankton generations. We test...
