Small wind turbines face significant challenges in achieving commercial viability due to lower efficiency and higher energy costs compared to utility-scale systems and competing renewable technologies. Counter-rotating dual-rotor wind turbines (CR-DRWTs) with dual-rotational armature configurations offer …

Daskan Inc. manages a diverse portfolio of engineering projects and faces a recurring challenge inaccurately estimating the engineering effort required and understanding differences in project workload and difficulty at the early stage of a project. Currently, these estimations rely heavily on expert …

OBJECTIVE: To explore nurses' compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue in relation to a participatory live music practice, and to understand nurses' own perspectives on this dynamic. INTRODUCTION: A significant group of nurses experience compassion fatigue, the feelings of exhaustion and reduced …

Recent years have shown a growing effort in the evaluation of DNA given activity level propositions. Yet, its implementation remains challenging for forensic scientists due to the complexity of assessing relevant DNA TPPR mechanisms. One particular challenge is the sparsity of relevant experimental data …

Flash powder, typically a 70:30 w/w mixture of potassium perchlorate and aluminium powder, is currently the most frequently encountered explosive material in the Netherlands, accounting for hundreds of attacks per year. Perchlorate is a characteristic analytical marker that, even when present at low …

Radiotherapy departments face increasing pressure due to rising patient volumes, workforce shortages, and complex multidisciplinary workflows. Although Hospital Information Systems (HIS) capture time‑stamped workflow data, these data are rarely transformed into actionable insights that support continuous …

Integration of agent-based modeling (ABM) and life cycle assessment (LCA) has been proposed and applied as an approach to leverage the complementary strengths of both methods in assessing sustainability impacts within complex socio-technical systems. However, the existing literature has focused primarily …

Hoe zorg je als trainer-coach dat monitoring écht werkt voor jou en je sporters? Hoe motiveer je sporters om data in te vullen, en hoe geef je gedifferentieerde feedback op fysiek, mentaal én sociaal vlak?Op vrijdag 22 mei organiseren we vanuit het RAAK-project Sportmonitor op Maat een inspirerende middag …

Background: Concept diagrams are widely used as tools to enhance scientific reasoning in education. Tailoring the complexity of these diagrams to the cognitive development of students poses a challenge. An effective measure for diagram complexity is particularly important when these diagrams are deployed …

orecasting the thermal behavior of ?exible heating assets is essential for real-time energy management in heating systems. While thermal dynamics are complex, the optimization algorithms within EMS require low-order models with minimal computational load to make rapid, real-time decisions. To bridge …
