The Dutch Transmission System Operator (TSO) TenneT TSO B.V. is planning to build a 2 km to 4 km long 150 kV superconducting cable connection in the Dutch high voltage grid. Superconducting cable systems allow for connections with no external magnetic field which is beneficial due to society's concerns …

BACKGROUND: The current literature on the value of clinical evaluation for predicting time to return to sport (RTS) after acute hamstring injuries has not been systematically summarised. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature on the prognostic value of clinical …

Background: Falls in stroke survivors can lead to serious injuries and medical costs. Fall risk in older adults can be predicted based on gait characteristics measured in daily life. Given the different gait patterns that stroke survivors exhibit it is unclear whether a similar fall-prediction model …

The 3rd of September, 2015 marked the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. Despite 70 years of peace in the Asia-Pacific, the memories of World War II are still the most evident obstruction in the Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations.

This report focuses on the feasibility of the power-to-ammonia concept. Power-to-ammonia uses produced excess renewable electricity to electrolyze water, and then to react the obtained hydrogen with nitrogen, which is obtained through air separation, to produce ammonia. This process may be used as a …

Miller, Le Breton-Miller and Scholnick (2008) summarize and discuss two major perspectives constructed from the literature on family owned businesses (FOBs): stewardship and stagnation theory.

It is therefore not my aim to reproduce these …

BackgroundWorldwide healthcare systems insist a patient centred, integrated, approach, which improves clinical outcomes, quality of life, patient satisfaction, effectiveness, and efficiency. In the Netherlands, Integrated care (IC) centres arise, but literature does not attend Facility Managements (FM) …

Coupling beams between shear walls are one of the key elements for energy dissipation in tall buildings. A representative mathematical model of coupling beam should represent flexure, shear and interface slip/extension mechanisms simultaneously. This goal can be achieved by using either detailed finite …

When consumers are dissatisfied with a consumption experience, they usually respond in one of the following ways: (1) stop using an organization’s products/services and take their business to a competitor, (2) file a complaint with the organization that is responsible for the dissatisfying consumption …
