In this thesis, it was explored how to utilize a touch screen and Unreal Engine to create a museum installation prototype for a visualisation of material deterioration. The materials that were focused on were Roman materials, based on a recent excavation in the Netherlands. The prototype was eventually …

Parents who grew up without digital monitoring have a plethora of parental monitoring opportunities at their disposal. While they can engage in surveillance practices to safeguard their children, they also have to balance freedom against control. This research is based on in-depth interviews with eleven …

The fields of pharmacology, biotechnology and chemistry are becoming increasingly reliant on high throughput screening (HTS). HTS is a method to perform systematic large numbers of automated biochemical experiments. A newer development of HTS is high content screening (HCS). In HCS experiments, images …

The flexible strain sensors have been a topic of interest for multiple studies in the past years. These sensors are soft, bendable mechanisms, which can be applied to substrates through printing or other means. They can indicate longitudinal strain through resistance change, which means that they can …

Objectives: The aim of this scoping review was threefold: 1. to identify existing definitions of oral frailty and similar terms in gerodontology literature; 2. to assess the oral frailty definitions and analyze whether these are well formulated on a conceptual level; and 3. in the absence of existing …
