Dynamic stall phenomena bring risk for negative damping and instability in wind turbine blades. It is crucial to model these phenomena accurately to reduce inaccuracies in predicting design driving (fatigue) loads. Inaccuracies in current dynamic stall models may be due to the facts that they are not …

Domestic violence has been thoroughly studied from different angles and over the years rhetoric has changed from victims of violence to survivors of violence.

Research was conducted to enable remote control of a humanoid robotic arm using movements of the human arm. Several options for the measurement technique have been discussed, resulting in a proposal for usage of MARG sensor modules to measure human arm movement. The InvenSense MPU9250 sensors where used, …

The loss of range of motion (ROM) in the upper extremities can interfere with activities of daily living (ADL) and, therefore, many interventions focus on improving impaired ROM. The question, however, is what joint angles are needed to naturally perform ADL. The present review aimed to compile and synthesize …

International economic pressures force Dutch farmers to further scale up and intensify their businesses, while food scandals and calamities as …

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the effect of (new) treatments or analyse prevalence and risk factors of contractures, rating scales are used based on joint range of motion. However, cut-off points for levels of severity vary between scales, and it seems unclear how cut-off points relate to function. The purpose …
