Pitch size varies in official soccer matches and differently sized pitches are adopted for tactical purposes in small-sided training games. Since interactive team behaviour emerges under constraints, the authors evaluate the effect of pitch size (task) manipulations on interactive team behaviour in small-sided …

PURPOSE: Advanced radiotherapy treatments require appropriate quality assurance (QA) to verify 3D dose distributions. Moreover, increase in patient numbers demand efficient QA-methods. In this study, a time efficient method that combines model-based QA and measurement-based QA was developed; i.e., the …

This thesis describes how the abundance of CO2 a ects the porosity of H2O:CO2 ice mixtures deposited at di erent growth temperatures ranging from 30 - 70 K. The mixing ratios of the used ice samples H2O:CO2 = 10:1, 4:1 and 2:1 are of astrophysical relevance. Laser optical interference is used to monitor …

In contrast to western countries, foot complaints are rare in Africa. This is remarkable, as many African adults walk many hours each day, often barefoot or with worn-out shoes. The reason why Africans can withstand such loading without developing foot complaints might be related to the way the foot …

Vraagstelling: Welke maximale laboratoriumtest meet het best de aerobe capaciteit bij rolstoelafhankelijke kinderen en adolescenten van zes tot 18 jaar met Spina Bifida: de rollerbank test of de armergometer test? Methode: 11 rolstoelafhankelijke kinderen en adolescenten (acht jongens, drie meisjes, …

Letting go of the firm or “my baby” as some entrepreneurs describe their creation, leads to a certain amount of stress (Rahim 1996, Kets de Vries 1999). Dealing with stress in singular events as the transfer of a business, is hardly been subject of research (Uy et al. 2012). Improving coping strategies …

The objective of this concept is a significant reduction of energy consumption in greenhouses and buildings with large facades and windows by using available solar energy. The scope of this investigation is to study the advantages of a building integrated CPV system. The basic idea is that a larger fraction …

A new gravitation wave observatory is being built in Japan. This facility is a big Michelson interferometer where the mirrors and sensors will be made cryogenic down to 4 K. The problem is that: the heat cannot be transported out of the mirror by its surroundings because the whole system is in an ultra-high …

The treatment of tumours in cancer patients have become more advanced and thus more complex. The verification of the dose distribution, calculated by clinical physicists, have thus become more complicated. VSL has started the development on measurements of absolute dose distributions in an antrhopomorphic …

Background Fatness and fitness both influence cardiometabolic risk. Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate whether childhood fatness and increasing fatness from childhood to adolescence are associated with cardiometabolic risk during adolescence and how fitness affects this association. …
