Policy advising is mostly learned on the job, like an apprenticeship. It starts wit...

Confidence is good, but to be in control is better! Our journey to write a general introduction to control and feedback started with the realisation that in our chosen field of study the proponents have taken little time to project the main ideas outside the community of the initiated. We are constantly - minded of the fact that there is no general awareness of control engineering, or c- trol technology, despite its ubiquity when we try to introduce ourselves as control engineers. Invariably ...

De medische immunologie bestudeert het normale en abnormale functioneren van ons immuunsysteem. De belangrijkste taak van het immuunsysteem is het beschermen van ons lichaam tegen infecties door micro-organismen. Hiertoe is het uitgerust met een heel scala van cellen en moleculen, die samenwerken om snel een infectie met een bacterie of een virus in te dammen. Tegelijkertijd zorgen ze ervoor dat we levenslang immuun zijn tegen herinfectie met hetzelfde micro-organisme.

De complexiteit van net...

De Bewaarmap is als het ware het portfolio voor schrijven van de kinderen in uw groep. Hierin bewaart u de Werkbladen die u nog niet gebruikt, en kunt u Werkbladen verzamelen. U vult de blauwe Bewaarmap met de Werkbladen 3 en 4. De kinderen werken vanuit de Werkmap die u vult met de letter- of cijfersets uit de Bewaarmap. (In de werkmap zitten alleen de materialen c.q. de letters waarmee de kinderen op dat moment werken.)

Voor groep 3 en 4
