In this report the properties of the E-field sheet have been measured. Also the connection between the E-field sheet and the pc has been developed. For visualisation of the data a GUI has been made in Matlab which also reads out the data from the DAQ card. Before a measurement on the clinical equipment …

INTRODUCTION: The interpolated twitch technique is often used to assess voluntary activation (VA) of skeletal muscles. We investigated VA and the voluntary torque-superimposed torque relationship using either supramaximal nerve stimulation or better tolerated submaximal muscle stimulation, which is often …

The recently developed HyperCollar applicator was specifically designed to heat tumors in the head and neck region. The applicator uses twelve antennas to create an EM interference pattern, which applies heat to the target area. Patients' position and movement needs to be tightly monitored and controlled …

Background. One of the stakeholders in tackling the rise and health consequences of overweight and obesity is the general practice physician (GP). GPs are in a good position to inform and give nutrition guidance to overweight patients. Objective. Assessment of working mechanism of determinants of the …

Background: Patients with Senning repair for complete transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) show an impaired exercise tolerance. Our aim was to investigate changes in exercise capacity in children, adolescents and adults with Senning operation. Methods: Peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2), oxygen pulse …

The authors compared three methods of reading and learning by using paper, as well as a variety of interactive study forms. Thier work is part of the large Amsterdam E-Boekenstad (E-Book city) research project (www.e-boekenstad.nl and http://e-boekenstad.wikispaces.com/). They investigate to what extent …

Ambient activity monitoring systems produce large amounts of data, which can be used for health monitoring. The problem is that patterns in this data reflecting health status are not identified yet. In this paper the possibility is explored of predicting the functional health status (the motor score …

Nowadays, a lot of precision components are manufactured and have to be measured to check dimensions and geometry. Xpress PE started to develop a coordinate measuring machine with a sub-micron measuring uncertainty called TriNano. The difference between the TriNano and other machines is that the TriNano …

The scope of this investigation is the development and testing of a new type of greenhouse with an integrated linear Fresnel lens, receiver module and an innovative system for tracking to exploiting all direct radiation in a solar energy system. …
