...Rutger Ploeg, professor of surgery at the University Medical Center of Groningen in the Netherlands, set up a trial involving patients from the international organ exchange group called Eurotransplant. Researchers procured a pair of kidneys from 336 deceased donors and, within 24 hours, placed one from each pair in cold storage, and attached the other to a LifePort Kidney Transporter perfusion machine. The kidneys were then transplanted into 672 recipients. Among the patients who received a cold-stored kidney, 89 developed a condition called delayed graft function in which the kidney fails to function immediately after transplant. Only...
...Netherlands. They will be testing such things as the integrity of toothpaste, contact lenses, seeds and popcorn, as well as whether the radiation of space will affect the magnetic strip on a bank-issued gift card. A group of 12- and 13-year-olds from Joseph Haydnschool in Groningen, the Netherlands, want to see if mineral oil and water, liquids that don't mix in earth's atmosphere, will combine in the weightlessness of space. The Dutch teachers planned to be at the launch, along with some of the 800 American student scientists...
That may overstate the case. Even enthusiasts agree that there are limits to how much mirror neurons can explain. At the same time, says Christian Keysers, scientific director of the neuroimaging center at University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands, their discovery provides sharp insight into the mechanisms by which humans communicate their innermost desires and feelings. "When you sit in a chair and watch a movie," Keysers observes, "you don't have to think to yourself, 'Now the hero has this expression on his face, so he must be afraid.' Or, 'Now he is smiling, so he must...
...Western Europe's major metropolises. First introduced in the West in the '90s as an environmentally friendly novelty, they have since become a fun way to cover short distances in crowded neighborhoods. While unlikely to become an everyday form of commuter transport, in places like Paris, London and Groningen in the Netherlands, rickshaws - technically known as pedicabs or trishaws, since the drivers are cycling, not running - hold their own in tourist traffic against more conventional vehicles. "For a night on the town it's a bit of a lark," says a London theatergoer who clambered into one on a recent...
