Dit rapport focust op het kiezen, ontwerpen, realiseren en uiteindelijk testen van een analysemethode die de verspreiding van houtskool in een cold flow wervelbed (verbrandingskamer) kan bepalen. Deze coldflow opstelling is een simulatie van MILENA met 22MW thermische input. Tijdens dit afstudeerproject …

In this paper, we address the problem of people detection and tracking in crowded scenes using range cameras. We propose a new method for people detection and localisation based on the combination of background modelling and template matching. The method uses an adaptive background model in the range …

This article provides a description of the emergence of the Spanish ‘Occupy’ movement, Democracia real ya. The aim is to analyse the innovative discursive features of this movement and to connect this analysis to what we consider the innovative potential of the critical sciences. The movement is the …

Objectives: Children have a greater risk from radiation, per unit dose, due to increased radiosensitivity and longer life expectancies. It is of paramount importance to reduce the radiation dose received by children. This research concerns chest CT examinations on paediatric patients. The purpose of …
