Over a period of 5 years (2006-2010) there was an increase of more than 600% in performed hip arthroscopies. During hip arthroscopy a perineal post is placed between the legs, to counter the generated pulling force and to make sure the patient stays in position. Due to this dislocation procedure several …

We describe the participation of the University of Amsterdams ILPS group in the Total Recall track at TREC 2015. Based on the provided Baseline Model Implemention (”BMI”) we set out to provide two more baselines we can compare to in future work. The two methods are bootstrapped by a synthetic document …

This study meta-analytically examined the effect of treatment integrity on client outcomes of evidence-based interventions for juveniles with antisocial behavior. A total of 17 studies, from which 91 effect sizes could be retrieved, were included in the present 3-level meta-analysis. All included studies, …

BACKGROUND: Hemodialysis patients experience an elevated risk of malnutrition associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Nocturnal hemodialysis (NHD) results in more effective removal of waste products and fluids. Therefore, diet and fluid restrictions are less restricted in NHD patients. However, …

In this study, the effect of strapping rowers to their sliding seat on performance during 75 m on-water starting trials was investigated. Well-trained rowers performed 75 m maximum-effort starts using an instrumented single scull equipped with a redesigned sliding seat system, both under normal conditions …

Author-supplied abstract: Developing large-scale complex systems in student projects is not common, due to various constraints like available time, student team sizes, or maximal complexity. However, we succeeded to design a project that was of high complexity and comparable to real world projects. …

Presented at the 11th International Conference on ICT in Education, Research and Industrial Applications: Integration, Harmonization and Knowledge Transfer Lviv, Ukraine, May 14-16, 2015. Author supplied: Abstract. User requirements and low-cost small quantity production are new challenges for the …

The purpose of this research was to meta-analyze studies which experimentally induced an achievement goal state to examine its causal effect on the individual’s performance at the task at hand, and to investigate the moderator effects of feedback anticipation and time pressure. The data set comprised …

Restoration of walking capacity, as reflected by walking speed and walking distance, is a primary goal after stroke. Peak aerobic capacity (peak oxygen consumption [V̇O2peak]) is suggested to be correlated with walking capacity after stroke. Although the strength of this correlation is unclear, physical …

The aim for this thesis is to set up and develop electroplating technique for depositing gold layers. This gold layer will be used as an thermalisation layer in a cryogenically cooled X-ray detector. Key material parameter for the gold layer is a low thermal resistivity at cryogenic temperatures. Since …
