The profiles from data-driven profiling applications are a model of the reality. The interpretability of these profiles for end users, e.g. policymakers, is often far from trivial. How and why these models are obtained by the applications are often regarded as a black box. In recent years several profiling …

Purpose Incidents of self-injury by forensic psychiatric patients often have a deleterious impact on all those involved. Moreover, self-injurious behaviour is an important predictor for violence towards others during treatment. The aim of this study is to analyse methods and severity of incidents of …

A promising vehicle for a smart government is the exploitation of the large amount of heterogeneous data that becomes available increasingly. The field of Big Data (BD) responds to this promise by leveraging the potentials of such data. In this paper, a systematic approach is adopted to argue why the …

The objective of the project was to investigate the long-term hot/wet performance of Glass fibre Reinforced Epoxy composites used for industrial pipe systems. A large part of the work consisted of the development of test methods for both macroscopic and microscopic level. This resulted in new test methods …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the clinical performance of partial glass-ceramic (IPS e.max Press) posterior restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 765 restorations in 158 patients were placed between 2008 and 2018 and evaluated in a prospective study during regular dental care visits between 2015 …

The goal of this research was to set up suitable laboratory tests and analysis methods for the strength and durability testing of bio-based textile reinforced concrete. This thesis was a preparatory research for the actual development of bio-based TRC applications, which was not undertaken due to unforeseen …

The dynamic nature of daylight and occupant's position can cause some issues such as heat gains and visual discomfort, which need to be controlled in real-time operation. Responsive facades have been pervasively used for preventing daylight glare and meeting daylight performance requirements. However, …

AIM: To compare the shear bond strength (SBS) after aging of two dual-curing composite resin cements to multiphase composite resin (experiment) and glass-ceramics (control). METHODS: Seventy computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) blocks were prepared: 24 multiphase composite resin …
