Background Physical exercise in cancer patients is a promising intervention to improve cognition and increase brain volume, including hippocampal volume. We investigated whether a 6-month exercise intervention primarily impacts total hippocampal volume and additionally hippocampal subfield volumes, cortical …

Out-of-plane (OOP) wall collapse is one of the most common failure mechanisms in unreinforced masonry (URM) structures. Insufficient connections at wall-to-wall, wall-to-floor or wall-to-roof levels are one of the main reasons for OOP failures. The seismic assessment of URM buildings with insufficient …

The aim of this research was to find out if Mycelium has the ability to replace stones in a roman arch bridge structure, by setting up the appropriate laboratory tests and by conducting a desk research to help identifying the best substrate out of the three substrates picked that will produce mycelium …

INTRODUCTION: An optimal relative dose intensity (RDI) of adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with better survival in patients with breast cancer. Little is known about the role of physical fitness in attaining an adequate RDI in patients with early stage breast cancer. We investigated the association …

Sinds het najaar 2020 heeft Netwerkcentrum De Opstap de deuren geopend en geeft daarmee invulling aan de transformatieopdracht in het Sociaal Domein van de gemeente Waadhoeke.

Achtergrond Fundamentele Motorische Vaardigheden (FMV) zijn belangrijke bouwstenen voor de sportdeelname en levenslange lichamelijke activiteit van kinderen. In het afgelopen decennium hebben verschillende internationale onderzoeken vertragingen in de ontwikkeling van FMV gemeld. Om een ​​beter inzicht …

The seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings with cavity walls is a relevant issue in many countries, such as in Central and Northern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, China and several other countries. A cavity wall consists of two separate parallel masonry walls (called leaves) connected …

Initial expectations about the interactive affordances of VR were often inspired by science fiction and technological fantasies rather than based on actual technical possibilities. In these futuristic accounts of VR, interactors would have the opportunity to fully engage with the characters that inhabit …

The outcome of a series of tests performed on as-built and strengthened timber-joist cavity-wall specimens at Building was presented.
