We allow the individual interconnections to change during the propagation by making them time-dependent. We have implemented a scalable, fully distributed simulator and we validated the epi...

It was constructed around 1990 to test whether human life is possible in this completely sealed, self-sustaining artificial ecosystem. Mainly due to overly rich organic soils, the initial mission failed in a sp...
متن کاملThe Netherlands Twin Register biobank: a resource for genetic epidemiological studies.
In 2004 the Netherlands Twin Register (NTR) started a large scale biological sample collection in twin families to create a resource for genetic studies on health, lifestyle and personality. Between January 2004 and July 2008, adult participants from NTR research projects were invited into the study.
