Water velocity in rearing units for Atlantic salmon post-smolt can influence fish robustness. Studies have shown that training at velocities between 1-2 body lengths/second (bl/s) increases disease resistance in salmonid species. Monitoring and timely adjustments to the water velocity during post-smolt …

We present a novel hierarchical model for human activity recognition. In contrast with approaches that successively recognize actions and activities, our approach jointly models actions and activities in a unified framework, and their labels are simultaneously predicted. The model is embedded with a …

De onderzoeksopdracht is het ontwikkelen van een platform waar deze twee BCI’s op aangesloten kunnen worden en het verbeteren van de onderscheidingsalgoritmes. De algoritmes kunnen bijvoorbeeld verbeterd worden door een langere trainingstijd aan te bieden, maar daarvoor moet eerst een werkend algoritme …

De onderzoeksvraag is of het spelen bij basketbal met teamafspraken meer bewegingsintensiteit geeft dan het spelen zonder teamafspraken. Tijdens het onderzoek is er gebruik gemaakt van Actigraph GT3X apparaten waarmee de intensiteit betrouwbaar weergegeven kan worden. In het testmoment werd er een 4 …

The raccoon dog was introduced in Russia and has been moving west ever since. Currently there are populations in: Finland, Poland, Germany and the Baltic countries. There are sightings in Norway, Denmark and Sweden. There is a high possibility that the raccoon dog will settle in the Netherlands. Raccoon …

Lyme borreliosis, commonly known as Lyme disease, is a vector-borne disease that is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. Infected ticks can transmit this disease and infect humans. Decreasing human Lyme infections could be achieved by vegetation control , since mortality and questing …

Common cloning is often associated with instability of certain classes of DNA. Here we report on IS1 transposition as possible source of such instability. During the cloning of Arabidopsis thaliana gene into commercially available vector maintained in widely used Escherichia coli host the insertion of …

In this paper we analyse the way students tag recorded lectures. We compare their tagging strategy and the tags that they create with tagging done by an expert. We look at the quality of the tags students add, and we introduce a method of measuring how similar the tags are, using vector space modelling …

Background Information: Slumped sitting has been associated with low back pain. Low back pain has shown to affect postural stability. In the lower back of a healthy person, little is known about the effects slump sitting has on motor control and sway. Objective: To investigate if there are differences …

With increased share of energy generated from variable renewable sources, storage becomes a critical issue to ensure constantly balanced supply/demand. Methane is a promising vector for energy storage and transport.
