Kinematical joint analysis during road cycling is a new trend. Reviewing the methods for 2D and 3D lower limb kinematical research, the sensor to segment alignment appeared to be the most challenging part due to unknown orientation with respect to the anatomical joints. A methodology that is suitable …

Rationale: Predictive equations for resting energy expenditure (REE) are used in the treatment of overweight and obesity, but the validity of these equations in overweight older adults is unknown. This study evaluates which predictive REE equation is the best alternative to indirect calorimetry in overweight …

Research on student success has been highly influenced by Tinto’s integration theory in Europe and America. As part of my PhD research, I investigate the possible influence of the use of social media by first year students in higher education. Based on Tinto’s theory, the amount of variables is diminished …

As part of my PhD research, I investigate the influence of the use of social media by first year students in higher education. In this research I have lessened the amount of variables, from Tinto’s theory, by including only the best-proven predictive variables, based on previous studies. Hereby, avoiding …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of abutment geometry on papillary fill in the esthetic zone in a delayed crown protocol. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-six subjects received two non-adjacent endosseous implants in the esthetic zone. Functional temporary crowns were installed 17-19 weeks later, using …

Climate change is a major contributor to the range shifts of several organisms such as plant species. A range is the geographical area where a species can be found and it is possible for plant species to undergo a range shift while still being present in their original one. These plants are called range-expanders. …

Recent studies showed that in teb mutants (teb2 & teb5 (mutant allele 2 and 5 of the Teb gene)) no T-DNA integration was detectable, meaning that if there still is any T-DNA integration it will be in very low frequencies (Kregten et al., 2016). This suggests that the Teb gene is essentially involved …

Statelessness is a universal problem, which affects more than ten million people worldwide. The UNHCR estimated that every 10 minutes a stateless child is born around the world. As a result of the conflict in Syria, more than 1 million Syrians have fled to neighbouring countries or to the EU. Nevertheless, …

BACKGROUND: When indirect calorimetry is not available, predictive equations are used to estimate resing energy expenditure (REE). There is no consensus about which equation to use in hospitalized patients. The objective of this study is to examine the validity of REE predictive equations for underweight, …

Ter afsluiting van de vierjarige studie Elektrotechniek aan de Haagse Hogeschool is het aan de student een afstudeerstage te organiseren en uit te voeren. Dit verslag beschrijft het verloop en het resultaat van een afstudeeropdracht bij NedTrain. NedTrain is verantwoordelijk voor het onderhoud van …
