MAD statementThis annual leading article is making a difference (MAD) through providing an overview of what design and designerly thinking, how these constructs may be interest to organizational change management leadership theory practice. In doing so, we are setting out support transdisciplinary application thinking principles, methods tools in the continuous development capabilities, as well...

Soybeans are very versatile, both as a food product and an ingredient in many industrial products. The oil produced by soybeans is contained within many foods we eat every day. Natural soybean oil contains several essential fatty acids that our body needs to work prop‐ erly, including linoleic and linolenic acids. However, much of the soybean oil consumed in many parts of the world has been par...

In clinical practice, a significant number of pa­ tients admitted to undergo DCC are not prop­ erly treated with oral anticoagulants (OACs).3,4 Scheduled patients have a nontherapeutic level of Int...

Absiract The disruption effects from the collision of round beams and flat beams in linear colliders have been studied in the past, and has by now been well understood. In practice, however, in the current SLC running condition and in several designs of the next generation linear colliders, the quasi-flat beam geometries are expected. Namely, the beam aspect ratio R z us/or > 1, but not infinit...

In model-based segmentation, automated region identification is achieved via registration of novel data to a pre-determined model. The desired structure is typically generated via manual tracing within this model. When model-based segmentation is applied to human cortical data, problems arise if left-right comparisons are desired. The asymmetry of the human cortex requires that both left and ri...

9 Due to the growing complexity of projects, their risks have increased in number and criticality. Risk lists thus 10 need to be broken down into smaller, more manageable clusters. Classical clustering techniques are generally 11 based on a single parameter, like risk nature, criticality or ownership. Risk interactions are therefore not prop12 erly considered when building up clusters. That is ...
