In this paper, we perceptually evaluate two recently proposed binaural multi-microphone speech enhancement methods in terms of intelligibility improvement and binaural-cue preservation. We compare these two methods with the well-known binaural minimum variance distortionless response (BMVDR) method. …

Abstract 1 Scope A major downside of oral immunotherapy (OIT) for food allergy is the risk of severe side effects. Non‐digestible short‐ and long‐chain fructo‐oligosaccharides (scFOS/lcFOS) reduce allergy development in murine models. Therefore, it is hypothesized that scFOS/lcFOS can also support …

Objective: To automatically recognize self-acknowledged limitations in clinical research publications to support efforts in improving research transparency. Methods: To develop our recognition methods, we used a set of 8431 sentences from 1197 PubMed Central articles. A subset of these sentences was …

Recent research has shown that many chloroplast markers commonly used for the identification of species in land plants are not useful in the moss genus Campylopus. The only known suitable marker in Campylopus is the nuclear ribosomal ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region. However, evolutionary patterns of this region …

This thesis shows the results of how an alternative design can influence online behaviour which is measured by data and tracked through A/B tests. This research can be used as an example to show customers the value of conducting such an experiment. These experiments can be used by the customer to test …

Background Routine outpatient care of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) lacks a simple measure of physical fitness and risk of mortality. Heart rate recovery (HRR) is noninvasive and easily obtainable in outpatient settings. Prior studies have suggested that delayed postexercise HRR in the …

Background: Recent transitions in long-term care in the Netherlands have major consequences for community- dwelling older adults. A new paradigm expects them to manage and arrange their own care and support as much as possible. Technology can support this shift. A study has been conducted to explore …

From the article: "Scope: During food processing, the Maillard reaction ( М R) may occur, resulting in the formation of glycated proteins. Glycated proteins are of particular importance in food allergies because glycation may influence interactions with the immune system. This study compared native …

Purpose: Classification is a defining factor for competition in wheelchair sports, but it is a delicate and time-consuming process with often questionable validity. New inertial sensor-based measurement methods applied in match play and field tests allow for more precise and objective estimates of the …
