The purpose of this article is to propose a methodological approach to analyse how the positioning of actors in an interorganisational network can influence the elements of value creation. This study fills a gap in the existing literature by exploring the relationship between the positioning of actors and the value creation in a context of interorganisational networks. The case study method was...

THE inter-relation of sensory, electrophysiological, and photochemical data in vision requires a knowledge of the behaviour of the retina -in the absence of the ocular media. As far as the human eye is concerned, such knowledge is very inadequate in the case of the enucleated eye, and non-existent in that of the eye in situ. While light absorption by the pre-retinal and intraretinal media canno...

AIM Fluorescence-mediated tomography (FMT) holds potential for accelerating diagnostic and theranostic drug development. However, for proper quantitative fluorescence reconstruction, knowledge on optical scattering and absorption, which are highly heterogeneous in different (mouse) tissues, is required. We here describe methods to assess these parameters using co-registered micro Computed Tomog...

Following constructivist models of contextual learning, knowledge acquisition goes beyond mere absorption of isolated facts, and, instead is enabled, stimulated and supported by related existing knowledge and experiences. In this paper, we discuss a range of query expansion and result list reranking techniques aiming to preserve contextual dependencies among retrieved documents and, thereby, en...

The thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle (THAL) plays an important role in the regulation of NaCl and water reabsorption. In vivo studies have shown that the free radical superoxide (O) stimulates Na and water reabsorption by the kidney. However, it is not known whether O regulates transport along the nephron in general or in the THAL specifically. We hypothesized that O stimulates THAL Na...

Triglycerides and cholesterol are important biological lipids, and their excessive intake in the diet is relevant to the development of two prevalent cardiovascular risk factors, obesity and hypercholesterolemia. Because most lipids are essentially water-insoluble molecules, their transport within and absorption from the aqueous medium of intestinal contents is rather complex. This takes place ...

A cyclometalated Ru dye bearing two triphenylamine groups to augment light absorption exhibits a power conversion efficiency (PCE) in excess of 7% in the dye-sensitized solar cell despite having a large molecular footprint on TiO(2).
