The origins of SWOT Analysis is obfuscated in the literature. This paper fills that void and reconstructs its early development in context. The empirical basis of SWOT started in 1952 within the Lockheed’s Corporate Development Planning Department. One of its thus far unknown pioneers, Robert Franklin …

Global climate change is resulting in a wide range of biotic responses, including changes in diel activity and seasonal phenology patterns, range shifts polewards in each hemisphere and/or to higher elevations, and altered intensity and frequency of interactions between species in ecosystems.Oak (Thaumetopoea …

A long-standing hypothesis in ecology and evolution is that trichromatic colour vision (the ability to distinguish red from green) in frugivorous primates has evolved as an adaptation to detect conspicuous (reddish) fruits. This could provide a competitive advantage over dichromatic frugivores which …

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is actually discussed at the European level. The impact of the new CAP will be important for European dairy farmers. Having knowledge into it is important in order to know what farmers are expecting for the future CAP reform. Moreover, the main objective was to understand …

Background: A description of the complexity of the process of self-management and the way stroke survivors give meaning to their process of self-management post-stroke is lacking. This study explores how stroke survivors managed their lives, gave meaning to their self-management post-stroke and how this …

1. Diets that maximise life span often differ from diets that maximise reproduction. Animals have therefore evolved advanced foraging strategies to acquire optimal nutrition and maximise their fitness. The free-living adult females of parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) need to balance their search for hosts …

Om te komen tot complexere en grotere opleidings- en trainingsscenario’s met meer vrijheid, flexibiliteit en (menselijke) interactie wil Soltegro gebruik gaan maken van een simulatie koppel standaard. Deze standaard wil Soltegro zodanig gaan gebruiken dat verschillende simulatoren interactief samen kunnen …

The relevance of an internationalised home curriculum for all students is generally acknowledged. Other than study abroad, the home curriculum gives programs of study full control over the way students learn international, intercultural, and interdisciplinary perspectives. However, misconceptions, lack …

From single-cell organisms to complex neural networks, all evolved to provide control solutions to generate context- and goal-specific actions. Neural circuits performing sensorimotor computation to drive navigation employ inhibitory control as a gating mechanism as they hierarchically transform (multi)sensory …

This report explores what the best way is to visualize the modelling workflow of a digital twin. The digital twin is a digital replica of a physical plant and can be beneficial for building, maintaining, operating and training. The visualization helps to convince parties such as the management department …
