De Van Raam duo fiets is een geschikte optie voor mensen met stabiliteitsproblemen tijdens het fietsen. De Ideeënfabriek (innovatie afdeling binnen Van Raam), vermoed dat er een te kort aan ergonomische kennis is om enkele ontwerpkeuzes bij de herontwikkeling te onderbouwen. Door samenwerking met de …

This short paper explores the potential of using carbon dioxide (CO2) data as a means to establish the occupancy status of a room. The rising concern about indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and occupant comfort has led to the development of innovative techniques to monitor and manage the use of …

Purpose: This study aims to qualitatively examine the relationship between the indoor environmental quality (IEQ), lecturers’ and students’ perceived internal responses and academic performance. Design/methodology/approach: To capture user experiences with the IEQ in classrooms, semi-structured interviews …

Infants attend daycare at an early age, which raises questions about children's sensitivity to the childcare environment and the role of different temperamental traits in their development in the early years. In a two-year longitudinal study with parent- and caregiver-reported data for Dutch children …

With increase in awareness of the risks posed by climate change and increasingly severe weather events, attention has turned to the need for urgent action. While strategies to respond to flooding and drought are well-established, the effects - and effective response - to heat waves is much less understood. …

The liveability of cities worldwide is under threat by the predicted increase in intensity and frequency of heatwaves and the absence of a clear spatial overview of where action to address this. Heat stress impairs vital urban functions (Böcker and Thorsson 2014), hits the local economy (Evers et al. …

Pavements are used everywhere, and are of a major importance in the infrastructure. However, conditions for which these pavements are designed for and built in are rapidly changing due to climate change. The trends observed in the Netherlands suggest a maximum temperature increase of 3 degrees Celsius …

BACKGROUND: Self-monitoring of physical activity (PA) using an accelerometer is a promising intervention to stimulate PA after hospital discharge. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of PA self-monitoring after discharge in patients who have undergone gastrointestinal or lung cancer …

Summary: A novel Smart Charging strategy, based on low base allowances per charger combined with 1. clustering of chargers on the same part of the grid and 2. dynamic non guaranteed allowance, is presented in this paper. This manner of Smart Charging will allow more than 3 times the amount of chargers …
