Om de onderzoeksvraag “Waar kan Rijkswaterstaat verantwoord doorgroeibare verhardingen toepassen op verzorgingsplaatsen?” te beantwoorden zijn de volgende methoden gebruikt: literatuuronderzoek, interviews met RWS-medewerkers, inventarisatie van voorbeelden uit praktijk met behulp van ClimateScan.nl …

Background: The quality of care given by EMS staff is in part monitored by routine review of deployment reports that the providers must complete after each deployment. The assessment consists of determining whether a deployment was performed in a medically correct manner and thus whether the clinical …

BACKGROUND: Physical activity is essential in burn care to counteract the effects of severe burns and inactivity during hospitalization. However, detailed knowledge of performed physical activities is lacking. This study evaluated the feasibility of a dual accelerometer-based method to assess type, frequency, …

A modified genetic algorithm (MGA) optimization procedure, alongside time series machine learning (ML) classifiers, is proposed to minimize handovers in a digital twin-based visible light communication (VLC) system. Frequent handovers have a direct impact on the overall performance of the VLC system …

OBJECTIVES: Assessment of malnutrition-related muscle depletion with computed tomography (CT) using skeletal muscle index (SMI) and muscle radiation attenuation (MRA) at the third lumbar vertebra is well validated. However, SMI and MRA values at other vertebral locations and interchangeability as parameters …

Reliability is a constraint of low-power wireless connectivity, commonly addressed by the deployment of mesh topology. Accordingly, power consumption becomes a major concern during the design and implementation of such networks. Thus, a mono-objective optimization was implemented in this work to decrease …

Aan de rand van het Groningse dorp Ten Boer ligt Woldwijk. Een nieuw buurtje met kleurrijke tiny houses, duurzame lemen buurthuizen en een biodiverse omgeving. Het is een voorbeeld van anders wonen in het buitengebied, maar wel met een onzekere toekomst.
