Wake Survey

In this paper the wake survey data of a family of models of the Victory ships measured and reported by the Netherlands Ship Model Basin are further analyzed. The scale effect upon the circumferential mean wake velocity and the harmonic contents of the circumferential velocity distributions are examined. It was found that for the relative amplitude of the various harmonics of the circumferential velocity distributions, the scale effect does not seem to be important. However, the effect of scale on the absolute amplitude of various harmonics could not be established. Extrapolated curves of the circumferential mean and the volumetric mean velocities for the ship are presented. Also reported are the effects of roughness, the comparative studies regarding the symmetry and repeatability of measurements, and the effect of rudder.

AbstractRecent surveys in the UK and the Netherlands indicate that there is widespread dissatisfaction with the justice system. But who are these ‘critics’ of the justice system? Most previous studies only produced general statistics, while the persons behind the figures remained invisible. By contrast, this article aims to put a face to these numbers and discusses two ways of analysing the profile of the critics. Based on a review of existing survey data, the article first looks at their ‘demographic profile’. Next, the article also considers a second, alternative, approach. Based on their level of legal awareness and legal identification, it distinguishes four different ‘normative profiles’: legalists, loyalists, cynics and outsiders. Moreover, the article shows how these normative profiles may be applied in future comparative studies on legal mobilisation and legal protest. It is concluded that combining both approaches will help us to look beyond common stereotypes and consider the critics of the justice system as real persons with genuine concerns about the administration of justice in their country.

ABSTRACT Prolactin secretion throughout the oestrous cycle in the rat remains at a low level and fairly constant, with the exception of the surge at pro-oestrus. The present study was designed to characterize possible changes in pulsatile patterns of prolactin during the oestrous cycle of the adult female rat. Mean values of prolactin increased from dioestrus-2 to pro-oestrus and then decreased to the values found at dioestrus-1. The number of peaks remained fairly constant in any phase of the oestrous cycle. The absolute amplitude of the peaks increased numerically but was not statistically significant from dioestrus-2 to pro-oestrus then decreasing until dioestrus-1. No changes in the relative amplitude or duration of the peaks throughout the oestrous cycle were detected. The results indicated that there is a similar pulsatile pattern of prolactin at any stage of the oestrous cycle, when samples were obtained during the morning.

The Impact

Integrating circularity in business strategy is difficult to achieve for companies as it requires impactful changes in core business processes. While research has focused on identifying key barriers, little is known about the organizational attributes that can assist businesses in integrating circularity in their strategies. The purpose of this study is to investigate the implications of organizational managers and network interactions for the integration of circularity in business strategy. Through using survey data from 627 SMEs (small- and medium-sized enterprises) in the Netherlands, this study shows that managers who interpret circularity as an opportunity can have a positive direct and indirect effect on the integration of circularity in a company’s strategy. The results furthermore highlight the importance of circular network interactions for the integration of circularity in business strategy. This article contributes to recent calls for more empirical research into the integration of circularity and offers relevant insights for companies aiming to integrate circularity.

Electoral Performance

This article assesses the electoral performance of populist parties in three European countries: the Netherlands, Poland and the United Kingdom. In explaining the electoral performance of the populist parties in the three countries, the article considers the agency of political parties in particular. More specifically, it examines the responsiveness of established parties and the credibility of the populist parties. Whereas the agency of populist parties, or other radical outsiders, has often been overlooked in previous comparative studies, this article argues that the credibility of the populist parties themselves plays a crucial role in understanding their electoral success and failure.

AbstractBased on results from a survey study in a sample of Australian parents of twins, Raj and Morley (2007) reported that questions concerning the mode of conception of twins may be offensive to parents. We looked at the willingness to reply to questions about mode of conception of twin pregnancies in a large survey study that was completed by 20,150 mothers of twins from the Netherlands Twin Registry. Data collection took place in 2005/2006. The amount of missing data was examined and by using data from earlier survey studies, responders and nonresponders were compared with respect to their answers to questions on assisted reproduction techniques. In addition, we assessed the reliability of the question on mode of conception by comparing the survey data with hospital records in a subsample of 80 mothers of twins. We found no indication that mothers of twins were not prepared to reply to questions on mode of conception. Only a small number of mothers did not fill in the question on mode of conception (0.8%). Also, the use of artificial fertility techniques did not differ between mothers who returned and mothers who did not return the 2005/2006 survey. The comparison of the survey data with the hospital records showed that mothers can accurately report on the mode of conception of their twins.
