In this study, two different numerical methods are used to model the structural behavior and failure mechanisms of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls under in-plane static loading using two simplified micro modelling approaches: The Discrete Finite Element Method (FDEM) and the Applied Element Method (AEM). …

Multi-layer cell constructs produced in vitro are an innovative treatment option to support the growing demand for therapy in regenerative medicine. Our research introduces a novel construct integrating organ-derived decellularised extracellular matrix (dECM) hydrogels and 3D-printed biodegradable polymer …

Inleiding: Jaarlijks houden 40.000 mensen blijvende beperkingen over na hersenletsel, waaronder een Cerebrovasculair Accident (CVA). Voor het herstel van CVA-patiënten wordt bij Roessingh Centrum voor Revalidatie spiegeltherapie ingezet middels een protocol. Het doel is om een advies op te stellen voor …

Reliability is a constraint of low-power wireless connectivity, commonly addressed by the deployment of mesh topology. Accordingly, power consumption becomes a major concern during the design and implementation of such networks. Thus, a mono-objective optimization was implemented in this work to decrease …

The hip fracture causes significant disabilities in many elderly people. Many studies around the world have identified various risk factors for the hip fracture. The aim of this study was to systematically investigate the risk factors of hip fractures. This study is a systematic review of risk factors …

Introduction: Early Warning Score (EWS) protocols are based on intermittent vital sign measurements, and aim to detect clinical deterioration in a timely manner. Despite its predictive value, its effectiveness remains suboptimal. An important limitation appears to be poor compliance with the EWS protocol …

Aims: To detect differences in speech fluency in separate primaryprogressive aphasia syndromes (PPA) using automated analysistechniques. The resulting linguistic features are evaluated for theiruse in a predictive model to identify common patterns in speakerswith PPA. As fluency is observable in audio …

In this report you can read about the pear simulator developed for Riwo as part of my graduation assignment. It gives a description of the company and the end user. It also goes through the design phases, testing, and obstacles throughout the project. Finally it will go into detail about the automated …

The digitalization of humans through 3D scans is a fascinating process that allows people to recreate hyper-realistic individuals virtually and use them in many ways. In order to properly digitize a human for production purposes, the 3D scan must be generated efficiently and in a quick manner, yet still …

In 2022 gaf 10% van de wekelijkse sporters aan een sportblessure opgelopen te hebben. Twee derde deel van deze blessures zijn acuut ontstaan. De meest voorkomende gevolgen van een acuut opgelopen blessure zijn pijn, zwelling en instabiliteit. Om de pijn en zwelling te verminderen wordt koudetherapie …
