The use of mobile digital devices requires secure behaviour while using these devices. To influence this behaviour, one should be able to adequately measure the behaviour. The purpose of this study is to establish a model for measuring secure behaviour, and to use this model to measure the secure behaviour …

Equity in access and distribution methods has been a major concern in relation to the global distribution of COVID-19 vaccinations. The ARP conducts a comparative analysis to examine the procurement strategies and socioeconomic fairness issues in the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines in two distinct …

Lebanon’s economic crisis has disrupted the country’s energy and water sectors, highlighting their interdependence. The methodology involves surveying 150 municipalities across all Lebanese governorates, ensuring a comprehensive coverage of public and private water resources. Data on water and energy …

Background: A hospital group is an organizational integration strategy that has recently been widely implemented in Chinese urban health systems to promote integrated care. This study aims to evaluate the effect of hospital group on integrated care from the perspectives of both patients and care professionals. …

Selecting the most successful and relevant traces at the crime scene is of the utmost importance as irrelevant traces may take up valuable capacity, increasing the risk that cases remain unsolved. In order to ensure that most relevant traces are collected, knowledge is required regarding how and where …

Battery energy storage (BES) can provide many grid services, such as power flow management to reduce distribution grid overloading. It is desirable to minimise BES storage capacities to reduce investment costs. However, it is not always clear how battery sizing is affected by battery siting and power …

This paper introduces a novel distributed algorithm designed to optimize the deployment of access points within Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) for better service quality in infrastructure less environments. The algorithm operates based on local, independent execution by each network node, thus ensuring …

In this TechForFuture project ‘Polymer Mixing in a Single Screw Extruder’ a method to optimize mixing elements is developed based on numerical simulations (Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD). A numerical procedure is developed to calculate the flow field in the extruder. By tracing particles in this …
