The seismic assessment of the out-of-plane (OOP) behaviour of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings is essential since the OOP is one of the primary collapse mechanisms in URM buildings. It is influenced by several parameters, including the poor connections between structural elements, a weakness highlighted …

Objectives Adherence to lifestyle interventions is crucial for the treatment of obesity. However, there is little research about adherence to lifestyle interventions in persons around retirement age. The objectives of this study are (1) to identify factors associated with the adherence to resistance …

This paper investigate to use of information technology, i.e. machine learning algorithms for water assessment in Timor-Leste. It is essential to access clean water to ensure the safety for humans and others livings in this world. The Water Quality Index (WQI) is the standard tool for assessing water …

De historische zeilschepen van de ‘bruine vloot’ varen grotendeels duurzaam zeilend, maar hebben aan boord ook oude dieselmotoren waarvoor – wanneer deze nu kapotgaan of op termijn wanneer strengere eisen aan uitstoot en geluid het gebruik ervan gaan beperken – schippers moderne en duurzame alternatieven …

This study presents a methodology designed to optimize various parameters of each access point within a Multiple-Input Single-Output (MISO) Visible Light Communication (VLC) system. The primary objective is to enhance both power and spectral efficiencies. A MISO-VLC model is presented based on experimental …

At an aquaponics farm in Luxembourg called “Fësch Haff” the effect of the water quality on the growth rate and behaviour of the rainbow trout has been analysed. Three times a week the water quality in the fish tank expressed by temperature, KH (carbonate hardness), pH, ammonium/ammonia, nitrite, nitrate …

Iwell levert batterij hardware en softwareservices om energiestromen te optimaliseren. Door de aanzienlijke groei van het bedrijf en de wens om te internationaliseren is de behoefte naar een intern informatiesysteem gegroeid. Om in deze behoefte te voorzien is een ERP-systeem genaamd Netsuite aangeschaft. …

Out-of-plane (OOP) collapse is one of the most observed damage types in masonry structures during strong earthquakes. OOP strength of a masonry wall depends on several parameters such as the dimensions of the wall, vertical restoring force, boundary conditions and material properties, which are parameters …

Background: Ventilation management may differ between COVID–19 ARDS (COVID–ARDS) patients and patients with pre–COVID ARDS (CLASSIC–ARDS); it is uncertain whether associations of ventilation management with outcomes for CLASSIC–ARDS also exist in COVID–ARDS.  Methods: Individual patient data analysis …
