The use of patterns in a design process, including data modeling, is an attempt to create a better solution to a problem. We propose the use of data model patterns, organized in a pattern language, and based on Fully Communication Oriented Information Modeling (FCO-IM) as the modeling approach, as a …

Bij Defensie wordt al langere tijd gekeken naar het werken onder architectuur. Hiervoor zijn, onder meer binnen IVENT, al diverse initiatieven gestart en werken delen van de organisatie ook al met eigen initiatieven op het gebied van architectuur.

PURPOSE: The popularity of long-distance walking (LDW) has increased in the last decades. However, the effects of LDW on plantar pressure distribution and foot complaints, in particular, after several days of walking, have not been studied. METHODS: We obtained the plantar pressure data of 62 subjects …

Phylogenetic patterns show the presence or absence of certain genes in a set of full genomes derived from different species. They can also be used to determine sets of genes that occur only in certain evolutionary branches. Previously, we presented a database named PhyloPat which allows the complete …

Over the course of nearly two decades, the United Nations has displayed an looming incapability of effectively using its organizational means to intervene in order to prevent and suppress genocide.

BACKGROUND: We compared the effect of a 12-week group-based multidisciplinary self-management rehabilitation program, combining physical training (twice weekly) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (once weekly) with the effect of 12-week group-based physical training (twice weekly) on cancer survivors' …

Aim of this presentation was to stress the utmost importance of gaining insight in the physical-spatial quality and context of the urban fabric as a whole before venturing out into the realm of transformation design proposals. Large-scale areas or confined objects alike, the quality of the urban frame …
