Oftentimes these systems are only statically calibrated. However, wheelchair propulsion is dynamic by nature, requiring a dynamic validation process. The aim of the current project was to present a low-cost portable system for the dynamic metrological verification of wheelchair roller ergometers, based …

The nasopharyngeal commensal Streptococcus pneumoniae can become invasive and cause metastatic infection. This requires the pneumococcus to have the ability to adapt, grow, and reside in diverse host environments. Therefore, we studied whether the likelihood of severe disease manifestations was related …

Remaining Useful Life (RUL) estimation is directly related with the application of predictive maintenance. When RUL estimation is performed via data-driven methods and Artificial Intelligence algorithms, explainability and interpretability of the model are necessary for trusted predictions. This is especially …

The local Dutch legislations (PGS-29) regarding the above-ground storage of flammable products have become stricter. This has led to the phasing out of Viking-Johnson couplings that are located inside of tank pits. These couplings are prone to leakage and they use rubber seals which are now prohibited …

Author supplied from the article: ABSTRACT Increasing global competition in manufacturing technology puts pressure on lead times for product design and production engineering. By the application of effective methods for systems engineering (engineering design), the development risks can be addressed …
