This paper describes the Care4Balance (C4B) system for better facilitating communication and task coordination between formal and informal caregivers, and older adults as care receivers. Field-tests with older adults (n=3) and user studies (n=9) were conducted to evaluate the system and the perceived …

The results obtained in this study are encouraging and important for the implementation of permeable pavement and swales in The Netherlands, since the performance of SUDS in delta areas and in areas in the world with comparable hydraulic circumstances has been viewed with skepticism. The research undertaken …

As the impact of our actions on the climate become more and more clear and environmental awareness is rising, the quest for increasing efficiency and lower environmental impact becomes very important. Efficiency is particularly important in the field of electricity consumption, which keeps on rising …

Increasing oil and energy demand asks for higher efficiency when it comes to oil recovery. To increase oil recovery efficiency, pore-scale mechanisms during waterflooding, a common recovery method, have to be better understood. This provides knowledge on the dynamic process during imbibition, which …

Factors affecting repeated sprint ability (RSA) were evaluated in a mixed-longitudinal sample of 48 elite basketball players 14 to 19 years of age (16.1±1.7 years). Players were observed on six occasions during the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 seasons. Three basketball-specific field tests were administered …

The aim of the present study was to find early markers for overreaching that are applicable in sport practice. In a group of elite soccer players aged 15–18, the stress–recovery balance and reaction times before and after exercise were assessed. Overreaching was indicated by an elevated submaximal heart …

Musculoskeletal pain is caused by risk factors for acquiring pain and prognostic factors for the persistence of prolonged pain and is the number one causal reason for restricted participation at work. Many studies have been performed on the reasons for acquiring and the continuance of musculoskeletal …
