Bij chronische somatische aandoeningen, zoals de ziekte van Parkinson, ALS en COPD, komt somatisch functieverlies veel voor. Deze onomkeerbare en progressieve lichamelijke achteruitgang kan leiden tot een ingrijpend en grillig proces van doorlopende rouw, dit wordt ‘levend verlies’ genoemd. Voor zorgverleners …

Critical materials are economically important raw materials with high supply risk. They are widely used in electronic components, batteries, sensors and drone-related systems. For Europe, access to these materials is a strategic issue because many of them are not sufficiently available within the European …

This graduation report is a comparison of settlement mitigation techniques for embankments built on soft ground in the Netherlands. The research is focused on the soft deltaic soil conditions in the Netherlands, where clay, peat, and organic clay layers can cause high settlements, slow consolidation, …

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 …

From March 2014 to September 2016, the instruments in the Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC) onboard the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft measured the plasma environment of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P/CG) in detail. Multiple datasets of these instruments show instances of asymmetric and …

CO₂ emissions from electricity generation in the Netherlands fluctuate on an hourly basis, depending on which power plants are active in the energy mix. Accurate next-day forecasts of these emissions would enable companies to align energy consumption with low emission periods, but reliable forecasting …

Native European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) reefs have strongly declined in the Dutch Delta, motivating restoration efforts that use engineered substrates to support settlement and early reef development. In Lake Veere, Project Asta tests the Mother Reef concept: biodegradable clay blocks that are conditioned …

By addressing the sub-research questions, the main research question and data mining goal were answered. Drought tolerance can be quantified using yield loss between control and drought treatments and robustly assessed by ranking varieties within each year. Varieties that consistently rank high or low …

Dysfagie is een symptoom dat wordt gekenmerkt door moeite met het verplaatsen van voedsel van de mond naar de maag en ontstaat als gevolg van een onderliggende aandoening of aangeboren afwijking. De symptomen kunnen de slikveiligheid en zelfstandigheid van cliënten negatief beïnvloeden. Ondanks dat dysfagie …

Awareness of climate change and stricter emission regulations have accelerated the search for sustainable energy solutions. A central goal is carbon-neutral energy use, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions while ensuring reliable energy supply. In applications with limited grid access—such as festivals, …
