Introduction: Early Warning Score (EWS) protocols are based on intermittent vital sign measurements, and aim to detect clinical deterioration in a timely manner. Despite its predictive value, its effectiveness remains suboptimal. An important limitation appears to be poor compliance with the EWS protocol …

Many citizens experience ambivalence – having simultaneously positive and negative evaluations – about changing their behaviour towards a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. Based on 36 studies, this study identifies and synthesises the current evidence on how ambivalence impacts environmental behaviours. …

Bumping Elbows explores a workflow integrating 3D body scanning technology with robotic knitting to create personalized garments. Traditional 3D knitting development relies on 2D drafts and panels, rooted in industrial flatbed knitting practices. Our approach leverages accurate topology measurements …

As Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication technologies gain prominence, ensuring human safety from radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMF) becomes paramount. This study critically examines human RF exposure in the context of ITS-5.9 GHz V2X connectivity, employing a combination of numerical …

In this work, in situ measurements of the radio frequency electromagnetic field exposure have been conducted for an indoor massive MIMO 5G base station operating at 26–28 GHz. Measurements were performed at six different positions (at distances between 9.94 and 14.32 m from the base station), of which …

The outdoor model of the FAT Scope interactive binoculars by 100%FAT has marketing potential, but its current hardware setup has prohibitively high power draw from its battery. This research aims to measure the power draw, find significantly contributing components and investigate their optimization …

Abstract: Research in higher education has revealed a significant connection between executive functions (EFs) and study success. Previous investigations have typically assessed EFs using either neuropsychological tasks, which provide direct and objective measures of core EFs components such as inhibition, …

Designing lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with tailored electrical properties remains a critical challenge for various applications. In this paper we present a novel methodology integrating Machine Learning (ML) and optimization procedures to fine-tune electrical properties in lead-free (1-x) Na0.5 …

Over the last four months I have been working at Mitsubishi Turbocharger and Engine Europe B.V. (MTEE) in Almere, Netherlands. As part of my Bachelor’s thesis assignment, I was given the task to investigate the working principle of Helmholtz resonators and evaluate the factors influencing the sound …

This document is the result of executing the final thesis about ‘a solution for the corrosion damage in Zijkanaal A in Terneuzen’. To attain the necessary competencies required for a positive result in this final thesis, Civil Engineering is heavily integrated into the ‘designing’ and ‘specifying’ aspects. …
