Aragonian stratigraphy reconsidered, and a re-evaluation of the middle Miocene mammal biochronology in Europe

REA Auditado

The recently collected fauna of Armantes 1A in Chron C5Br of the Armantes section necessitates reinterpretation of
the previous bio- and magnetostratigraphical correlations between the Armantes and Vargas sections (Calatayud-Daroca
Basin, Central Spain) [W. Krijgsman, M. Garcés, C.G. Langereis, R. Daams, J. van Dam, A.J. van der Meulen, J. Agustí,
L. Cabrera, A new chronology for the Middle to Late Miocene continental record in Spain, Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 142
(1996) 367-380].

Geldgeloof: Over ‘health and wealth’ en ‘word of faith’ in de Verenigde Staten

REA Auditado

The Christian conviction known variously as ‘prosperity gospel’, ‘health and wealth’ or ‘word of faith’ refers to the belief that God wants believers to prosper financially. In this master's thesis I refer to the phenomenon with the neutral term ‘geldgeloof’, Dutch for ‘moneybelief’. It is regarded as a controversial subject, discussed by journalists, criticized by commentators and researched by academics. It originated in the United States of America during the twentieth century, and a significant portion of American Christians says to believe that God wants them to be rich.

Dynamic behaviour of 210Pb, 210Po and 137Cs in coastal and shelf environments

REA Auditado

The continental margins of the southern North Sea and the northwestern
Mediterranean Sea were chosen as the main subject areas for the study of some of
the key processes operating in water and in sediment: chemical scavenging, particle
transport, sediment resuspension and deposition.

Geochemistry of the Panasqueira tungsten-tin deposit, Portugal

REA Auditado

Major tin-tungsten deposits in Portugal are related to intrusions of
the Younger Series (300-280 Ma) of Hercynian granitoids. Mineralized
granites are 'specialized' by a specific increase or decrease of major,
minor and trace element contents in comparison with non-mineralized
occurrences. Component analysis is used to make distinctions between
the various geochemical types of barren and mineralized granites
(Chapter 2). A one-component model is characterized by positive
loadings for Rb, Sn, Cs, Li, Nb, F, Ta, Zn, Wand P20S and negative
loadings for Zr, Ba, Ti02 and Sr.

Immunity to poliovirus after infection and vaccination

REA Auditado

The aim of this thesis was defined as the study of the contribution of IPV vaccination to the induction of a) protection against poliovirus infection and b) mucosal immunity.We have described the development of new immunological tools for the rapid
detection of poliovirus-specific antibodies and have investigated the induction of
mucosal immunity after IPV vaccination.

Over artsen en verzekeraars : een historische studie naar de factoren, die de relatie ziekenfondsen - artsen vanaf 1827 op landelijk en regionaal niveau hebben beïnvloed

REA Auditado

This study discusses the relationship between physicians and collective health-insurance funds at the national tier in the Netherlands and at the regional tier of ‘’Midden-Nederland’’. This region consists
of the urban areas of Utrecht, Amersfoort and Zeist, i.e. the larger part of the Province of Utrecht and
the western part of the Province of Gelderland.
Historical research reveals the nature of the relationship between these parties, the manner in which
it developed over the years and the factors that affected this relationship.
