BACKGROUND: Children with acute abdominal pain pose a diagnostic challenge for general practitioners (GPs), as it can be difficult to distinguish appendicitis from self-limiting conditions due to overlapping symptoms. To support GPs, a diagnostic strategy for appendicitis was developed that integrates …

Decarbonizing the energy system requires new applications for green hydrogen produced via electrolysis, especially in high-emission sectors. This study investigates the technoeconomic feasibility of off-grid on-farm hydrogen production integrated with intermittent renewables in Australia and the Netherlands, …

Healthcare systems face rising costs, aging populations, and increasing chronic conditions, creating a need for personalized, multidisciplinary care. Value-Based Health Care (VBHC) offers a promising approach by shifting focus from volume to value. Burn care is particularly suited for this model due …

The Netherlands is undergoing a massive (re)construction challenge. In addition to building new housing, a substantial part of the existing building stock of housing corporations is undergoing renovation. This renovation challenge has varying interactions with the energy transition, testified by the …

At the macro level, the Netherlands has become an agricultural giant thanks to its efficient, intensive farming practices. At the micro level, farmers are under pressure to make ever-larger investments and focus heavily on improving operational efficiency. This has led to a series of business decisions, …

Small wind turbines face significant challenges in achieving commercial viability due to lower efficiency and higher energy costs compared to utility-scale systems and competing renewable technologies. Counter-rotating dual-rotor wind turbines (CR-DRWTs) with dual-rotational armature configurations offer …

Efficient hydrogen (H2) storage remains a major challenge for clean energy applications. This study presents an AI-driven methodology to optimize H2 storage in porous carbon adsorbents. A comprehensive dataset of 917 literature-derived entries was used to develop two machine learning models: Random Forest …

Power-to-X technologies play a crucial role in accelerating the energy and material transition. A key opportunity lies in integrating these systems with existing bio-based infrastructures such as anaerobic digesters, providing a reliable source of biogenic carbon. Developing effective Power-to-Methanol …

OBJECTIVE: Geriatric rehabilitation (GR) is an essential component of transitional care. However, insight into longitudinal care use and related costs is limited. This study mapped GR trajectories over a six-month period, identified latent groups with similar cost patterns and examined patient-level …

Mobile Instant Messaging apps, such as Signal and WhatsApp, are part of everyday communication in the Netherlands. Yet, technology-adoption literature mainly focuses on functional aspects like ease of use and usefulness, while the role of human values in switching intention is often overlooked. This …
