In previous research a new type of greenhouse with an integrated concentrated photovoltaic system (CPV) was developed based on a circular covering geometry and an integrated filter for reflecting the near infrared radiation (NIR) of the greenhouse and exploiting this radiation in a solar energy system. …

The recently developed HyperCollar applicator was specifically designed to heat tumors in the head and neck region. The applicator uses twelve antennas to create an EM interference pattern, which applies heat to the target area. Patients' position and movement needs to be tightly monitored and controlled …

Microencapsulation of cells is a promising approach to prevent rejection in the absence of immunosuppression. Clinical application, however, is hampered by insufficient insight in factors influencing biocompatibility of the capsules in humans. In the present study we exposed alginate-based capsules prepared …

To investigate whether oxygen consumption and blood flow at rest and after exercise are lower in the affected arm of patients with repetitive strain injury (RSI) compared to controls, and lower in the healthy nonaffected forearm within patients with unilateral RSI. RSI is considered an upper extremity …

Performance results are given of a new type of greenhouse, which combines reflection of near infrared radiation (NIR) with electrical power generation using hybrid photovoltaic cell/thermal collector modules. Besides the generation of electrical and thermal energy, the reflection of the NIR will result …

In an previous research project a new type of greenhouse with an integrated concentrated photovoltaic system (CPV) was developed which has an integrated filter for reflecting the near infrared radiation (NIR) to the greenhouse and exploiting this radiation in a solar energy system. The performance of …

In de laatste jaren is er in Nederland toenemende aandacht voor de condities waarin leerlingen les krijgen. Randvoorwaarden zoals temperatuur, akoestiek, luchtkwaliteit, lichtkwaliteit en beschikbare ruimte vormen met elkaar de basisomstandigheden waarin leerlingen en leerkrachten functioneren. Er is …

In this paper the design and development of a new type of greenhouse with an integrated filter for reflecting near infrared radiation (NIR) and a solar energy delivery system is described. Especially the optical parts as the spectral selective film, the properties of the circular reflector and the efficiencies …

This paper describes segmentation based on motion. A group of (connected) pixels that move together is assumed to belong to one object. One advantage of using otion is that an object that consists of different parts is detected as one object, whereas f for instance colour differences are used the same …
