BACKGROUND: Survival of kidney transplant recipients (KTR) is low compared with the general population. Low muscle mass and muscle strength may contribute to lower survival, but practical measures of muscle status suitable for routine care have not been evaluated for their association with long-term …

Several studies found that classrooms' indoor environmental quality (IEQ) can positively influence in-class activities. Understanding and quantifying the combined effect of four indoor environmental parameters, namely indoor air quality and thermal, acoustic, and lighting conditions on people is essential …

The aim of this observational study was to examine the differences between training variables as intended by coaches and perceived by junior speed skaters and to explore how these relate to changes in stress and recovery. During a 4-week preparatory period, intended and perceived training intensity (RPE) …

Decentralised renewable energy production in the form of fuels or electricity can have large scale deployment in future energy systems, but the feasibility needs to be assessed. The novelty of this paper is in the design and implementation of a mixed integer linear programming optimisation model to minimise …

We extend a standard for doing agile scrum teamwork in education that permits individual assessment within teams (IAFOR ECE2020). Since the teacher's bandwidth in education is limited and increasingly under pressure, we focus on course design options that can be used to leverage the bandwidth. One economizing …

Currently, the cutting forces themselves are only roughly estimated by a Specific Cutting Energy assumption. Throughout literature, many assumptions are made about different parameters, the condition in which the cutting process is taking place, and in specific cases, some parameters are not even considered …

In section 1 the problem definition is 5 % of all kids in the Netherlands suffer from dysfunctional breathing (Ludden, Mader, van Rees, & Siering, 2019). The research group S&FT has a project: the WBT. This project focuses on personalised care for children ages 6-12 with breathing disorders by means …

The emission of greenhouse gasses is a trending subject worldwide. Also the maritime industry is looking for alternative options for zero-emission transport. Nedstack provides fuel cells as a solution for this challenge. This research is a first glance at the possibilities to create a feasible retrofit …

Data-driven modeling is an imperative tool in various industrial applications, including many applications in the sectors of aeronautics and commercial aviation. These models are in charge of providing key insights, such as which parameters are important on a specific measured outcome or which parameter …

Sommige veiligheidsproblemen kunnen individuele landen niet alleen oplossen. We noemen de bijdrage aan deze veiligheidsproblemen ook wel Internationale Publieke Goederen (IPG). Omdat het gewenste veiligheidsniveau niet op een effectieve of efficiënte wijze door een individueel land kan worden gerealiseerd, …
