Objective: Due to the multidimensional nature of resonance disorders, multivariate diagnostic assessment is advisable. The nasality severity index (NSI) is based on this point of view. Because of the influence of personal and environmental variables on the current NSI, this study aims to refine this …

The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) on the vocal quality using the dysphonia severity index (DSI). It was hypothesized that the objective vocal quality and other vocal characteristics are disordered in comparison with an age- and gender-matched control …

In this thesis the different aspects of acquiring the complex refractive index of interstellar ice analogues are treated. The ultimate aim of this work is to search for abilities to predict the infrared absorption spectra of these analogues. A key factor in these predictions is the optical influence …

Inleiding: Onychomycose is een van de meest voorkomende nagelafwijkingen bij volwassenen. De prevalentie van de algemene populatie reikt van 2-28%. Lokale productmiddelen zijn zelden effectief en orale medicatie geven nadelige gevolgen wat betreft de bijwerkingen. Slagingspercentages zijn laag en recidieven …

Earth’s magnetic field, also known as the geomagnetic field, interacts with the solar wind, a stream of charged particles originating from the Sun. The interaction causes the geomagnetic field to undergo variations, called geomagnetic disturbances or geomagnetic activity. This bachelor thesis features …

In dit onderzoek- en adviesrapport is onderzocht hoe het gesteld is met de fysieke vitaliteit van de ambtenaren van het cluster Werk & Inkomen (W&I), gemeente Rotterdam. Tevens is gekeken welke instrumenten de werkgever zou kunnen inzetten, naast eventueel reeds ingezette instrumenten, ter bevordering …

The purpose of this report is to assess the relevance of the measurement of the spectrally resolved distribution of radiation in tokamak boundary plasmas. This assessment is important and urgent in view of the recent ambition to design and construct a multi-camera configuration for hyper imaging spectroscopy1 …

Inleiding: Zowel veroudering als de toenemende prevalentie overgewicht en obesitas vergroten de kans op morbiditeit en verhogen de zorgkosten. De inname van voldoende fruit, groente en vis lijkt bij te dragen aan de preventie van bepaalde ziekten en aandoeningen waaronder overgewicht en obesitas. Nederlandse …
